Reasoning Powers of Birds.

Some very interesting observations re-
lating to the surgical treatment of wounds
by birds were recently brought by Nj.
Fatio before the Physical Society of &C.
neva HeQuoIes the case of the Snipe,
which he often observed engaged in re-
pairing damages. With its beak and
feathers il makes very creditable dress
ing, applying plasters to bleeding wounds.
and even securing broken limb by
means of stout Hgature. ON one occa-
sion he killed Il Snlpe which had on its
chest large dressing composed OF down
taken from other parts OF the body, and
securely fixed TO the wound by the coag-
ulated blood. Twice be has brought
home snipe with inLerwoven feathers
strapped on TO the site of a fracture with
of one or other limb. The most interest
ing example was that OF snipe both OF
whose legs he had unfortunately broken
by misdirected shot. He recovered the
bird only the day following. and then he
found that the poor thing had contrived
TO apply dressings and a sort OF spllnt to
both limbs. In d case recorded by Nj.
Magnin, a snipe, which was observed to
fly away with broken leg, was subse-
queutly found to have forced the frag-
lnents into parallel position, the upper
fragment reaching TO the knee, and Sc
cured them there by means of 81 stout
band OF feathers and moss intermlngled.
The observers were particularly struck
by the application of a Igature OF kind
OF tlat-leafed grass wound round the
limb in spiral form, and fixed by means
of a sort of glue.-EXchange.

CHOICE OF PROFESSIONS.
Women Must Be Prepared for World
Struggle.

Women Must Be Prepared for World
Struggle.
1t is hard, very hard under any circum-
stances for woman to choose profess
sion in life, for the good reason that she
has to decide between TWO bundles of
hay, one on either side OF her. Ii she
elects to give up her inherited profession n
Of domesticity tor another choice, it would
seem that she should be more than sure
OF her peculiar fitness for pub ubliC lite.
And yet, as the only possible school for
sucn equipment lies III public work,
there is ample reason for perplexity.
Ii we fail, we fail, is not motto for
women. Though written for wOman's
lips, they are manly words. While man
hood takes failure with comparative stOl-
idity, and tries again on another tack,
womanhoOd is crushed and humiliated.
Therefore 1t Is best that she should choose
her worlds work wisely.
In the selection OF u profession there
are, OF course, many questions of fitness
for d woman TO consider, but there is one
universal test which applies equally TO all
the professions she can enter into, thoug h
it seems to be considered least OF all in the
weighing OF pros and cons. The first
question woman should ask herself
when she thinks Of leaving her four walls
in body OF on paper or canvas ls this {:
Am / fitted for Struggle?'
Ii her answer be only weakness, let her
stay where she is so long as those walls
can possibly continue 90 shelter her. For
10 matter how deep her calling for public
or semi-public life, the Work she thinks
of doing is after all, the worlds work
and she must take the worlds buffets in
its accomplishments.
Repeatedly gifted women who have
seemed divinely called TO one or anoth or
profession have failed, and failed utterly
and lamentabiy, simply because they
could not grasp the cold fact that the dis
tinct profession was not all they had TO
learn.
struggle-is at the root of more failures
than Is uutitness for the specific work
undertaken. How to prepare a bandage
is one thing; the applying it quite an
other but equally necessary part Of q
nurses training. -Harper's Bazaar.

The telephone In War.

An interesting experiment Of installing
telephone by trotting cavalry was re-
Gently successfully undertaken by some
Prussian Uhlans between Berlin and
Potsdanl. Two sets of one officer and
two non-commissionedo officers proceeded
in the early morning, respectively, from
Berlin TO Potadam. Each set was
equipped with complete telephone ap-
paratus which one of the men carried in Il
leather case on his chest, besides tho
requisite quantity Of thin wire. The end
of the wire was connected with the re-
spectiye towns telephone station, and
the wire was. by means OF a fork fixed at
the end Of the lance, thrown over the
tops OF the trees along the road. As each
kjlometer of wire was thus suspended
halt was made, and it WAS ascerIained
whether there was connection with the
station. a new kilometer of wire was
then connected with the former. and on
went the men. The two sets met at Tel
tow. The wires, having been respect
lively tested with their respective sta
tions, were connected, and telephonic
connection between Berlin and Potsdam
was established. The distance is about
twenty miles, and the whole thing was
done in about four hours.-London Ex-

SHE Is A MARTHA.
The Typical New England Woman
Iron II Bostouian Standpoint.

- -
IRON "a Dostouian Standpoint.
The typical New England woman is the
most devoted OF mothers, but in that, as
in everything else, she is Martha. The
typical American child is very bad, ana it
is a wonder that so many of them escape
hanging before they are u. The New
Eng land child is not bad, though. in the
commonly accepted sense. but he is ex-
tremely apt to be SO preternaturally good
that he deserves hanging. He Is read to
and talked with and prayed over, until
all the latent priggishness in him Is de-
velope0, and he becomes little monster
of virtue. The conscientious mother ex-
plains everything to him as far as she
can, and the child naturally thinks he
knows it all. He reasons Solemnly be-
tween right and wrong, and has convic-
tions on all subjects before he is in his
teens. OF course, the great majority get
over this in time, but that does not make
the system right. There Is an uuruly
age in boy which is no more
wick edness than the sprouting of his
mustache. But one often hears the con-
science-ridden New England mother
mourn over these lads as if they were
all we'll started on their way 10 State s

Anything will serve really good,
Dious, upright, self-sacrificing New Eng

A Fake Pure and simple.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Officers on
duty at the War Department regard the
story telegraphed from Ell Reno, Ok.
that Captain Baldwin of the Fifth Infant
ry. Acting Indian Agent of the Com
ancho and Apache Agency, has been
killed by the Indians as a fake pure and
simple. II there was any truth IN the

have been notified OF it long before. Cap
ta.n Baldwin is consid cred very able

the Indians, and the only enemies he has
in the region, so far as is known, are the

IN A NAMELESS GRAVE.
Where Tom Moore's First Sweetheart
Lies Buried.

Only those who are thoroughly con-
versant with the innumerable highways
and byways of Greenwood Cemetery in
Brooklyn know OF section called "fhe
Hill of Graves" The section derives its
name from the fact that nearly forty
thousand unfortunates are buried there
in rows of fifty. One would never think
of looking for a spot of interest in that
locality. TO find any particular grave in
this public burying-ground one needs
the aid of a cemetery guide. And even
such q guide has difficulty, since the
graves are known only by numbers.
Upon looking at the records of the ceine-
terry it was found that the special grave
desired in this instance WAS In Public Lot
No. S,999, and that the number of the
mound was sos. When the grave was
found it was not unlike the thousands
around it. The mound was sunken and
neglected.; the grass, once green upon it.
is long since dead. A small white mar
BILE stone stands at the head, on which is
inscribed:

Nothing is there to indicate the fact that
underneath that sunken mound lies all
that is mortal of beautiful Mary Duff, to
whom the poet Thomas Moore offered
his hand and heart. whose beauty he i'm
mortalized in his verse, and who. in the
maturity of her career, won the applause
of thousands and thousands of people,
whom her name attracted to ali the great
theaters of America and England as one
of the most gifted of actresses.-Edward
