TEXAS DEMOCRATIC SILVER MEN
Are Not Averse to Teller's IndOrse-
ment by the Party.

Austin, Texas, June 21.-Some of the
silver delegates to the state democratic
convention which meets next Tuesday
arrived in this city today. They state
that individually they are not at all
averse to the Endorsement Of Teller by
the democrats; that as the issue of the
campaign was 20 be silver and gold. they
believed all factions, irrespective of party
lines, would affiliate to win the battle;
that Teller would poll a strong republi-
can following, and that if the democrats
and populists Endorsed his canvass and
supported him he would undoubtedly be
the next president.
Many of the silver democrats who ar
rived today say they will work in the
state convention Tuesday for an indorse-
ment of Teller, and they believe they can
secure the Chicago delegation for him.
The sound money convention, which also
meets here Tuesday, will, of course
send a gold man to Chicago and will
indorse Cleveland and Carlisle.

A cLEReYMAN's CURE FOR LOVE.

have been told that a great many cler-
gymen are much troubled by the MEM
bers Of their congregation confiding to
them their love troubles One well known
and much admired prophet and evangelist
Is 80 much bewildered by the quantity and
quality Of these condolences that he now
makes 1t rule not to see any member Of
the fair sex In the vestry unless she states
beforehand what she wants to consult him
about. One day, however, when he had
preached very eloquent sermon, sad
eyed lady member of his congregation
forced her way into his house on the plea
of urgent business, and in spite Of his
most discouraging manner insisted on in
forming him, with tears and sobs, that she
had fallen hopelessly in love with certain
gentleman of her acquaintance and that
she did not know what would becomesof
her in life unless he could be persuaded to
return her affection.
The reverend gentleman rose inpatient
ly and exclaimed that he should advise the
lady to buy bicycle and go out for long
ride every day until she was cured The
damsel went away weeping and saying
that, alas, he did not understand that her
love fever was incurable! The clergyman
thought no more about this interview,
which he had looked upon as being one Of
the disagreeable details Of his profession,
but month later, as he was walking
along the street. he met pretty blooming,
bright eyed girl, who stopped him and ex-
claimed, with enthusiasm: II can never

Young Wild Birds.

The thickness of the foliage on the trees,
the high vegetation of the cultivated land
and the natural tendency Of young birds
to keep quiet and still, make the study Of
them matter Of some difficulty. In the
nedgerows and by the woodsde unfamil-
lar notes and calls of birds are constantly
heard-the notes of young birds, which
cannot be identified owing to the thickness
of the foliage, and though in the large
woods the cry of the young sparrow hawks
and the fight of the pigeons and wood
peckers betray their presence, it is almost
impossible to watch them or to ascertain
their way Of procuring food. Probably
most of the larger species are fed by the
old birds long after they leave the nest
OF game birds, young cartridges are the
most self reliant, and young pheaaants the
least able to take care of themselves. The
present writer has never seen young quails,
but as those coveys which are Matched in
England often number as many birds as
the quail usually lay eggs 1t may be pre-
sumed that these, the smallest of all the
game birds, are not less active and pre-
cocious than the young Of the partridge.
The latter are almost as active upon land
as young wild ducks are upon the water
They run swiftly and without hesitation,
even among thick vegetation when they
are no bigger than wren, and follow or
precede their mother through moving
grass, hedgerows or the sides Of furze
breaks and copses, seeking and catching
insects all the while, and neither losing
themselves nor betraying their where
abouts by unnecessary noise or excursions.

Kipling's Snake.

A writer In McClures Magazine tells
how he edited paper in India with the
help Of Rudyard Kipling, and he mentions
as a side issue d peril from snakes which
Kipling once underwent. The danger Of
snakes in Lahore was real enough, and the
place was rich in scorpions. The person
who tells the story had been stung by q
scorpion In bed one morning, and Kipling
aided him In the afternoon In scorpion
hunt They found 30 under the mating
in the veranda outside the bedroom door,
besides few centipeds, and put the lot in
to large tumbler and filled 1t up with
whisky.
lone day when we were dressing in the
morning heard Kipling shouting, and
went into his room. His face was pale
with horror, and he was tightly clasping
one leg above the knee.
There's SNAKE he gasped, inside
my trousers, and think I've got him by
the head. Put your hand up from below
and drag him out.
II observed that Kipling only thought
he had 1t by the head, and that really its
head might DO at the other end, in which
case-but before had finished, saw the
horror in his face relax and give place to
puzzled look, succeeded by fits Of laugh
ter. Endeavoring to ascertain by the sense
Of touch whether it was the head he was
grasping, he had discovered that it did not
really feel like any part of snake at all.
In fact, 1t had buckle, and he realized
that his braces had been dangling inside
the garment when he put 1t on"
