There were once two little birds who lived to-
gether,
And all they had to wear was ono pinfcather.
Now. when Sunday came, tho big ono said
"Give me that feather to wear on my head"
This made the little one weep and wall,
For he wanted the feather TO wear in his tail.
Then they pecked and they quarreled, rs
naughty birds will,
And they didn't stop screaming an instant till
Their mother heard tho noise and asked.
Whats this about2'
And took the pinfcathcr and pulled it right
"Oh. mother, dear mother. wo won't DO badi
Do give back our feather; it's all we had
But the mother was stern and said: "No, no!
Now you must wait till your other feathers
grow"
So She took the feather and few far away,
And the brides haven't quarreled since that
day.

John Ruskin, according to q letter re-
ceived by one of his former students
now living i'll New York. is dying. vir-
tually Ruskin has been dead for wears.
Like SO many Of those who have made
the world better and happier by their
genius, his mind has given way before
his body. His memory has gone entire
ly, and he is subject to continual delu-
sions of the most pathetic kind. He fan.
cies that he is ruined and that he and
all around him are on the point of star
walton.
Ruskin wrote the last words that will
ever come from his pen about four years
ago. His autobiography, "Practerita, ;"
will never be completed. but fortunate
ly he was able to continue it to q con.
siderable length. AS it stands it forms
