A LIVELY CORPSE.
How the PhilanthropIc Mrs. K. Was Curoa
 of the "Slumming Fever

How the PhilanthropIc Mrs. K. Was curea
 of the 'Slumming Fever
 Mrs k. had the stunning fever. :" She has now recovered. The incidents which led to the cure may be of value to others similarly and as indiscreetly inclined.
 Being very inexperienced and tender hearted, Mrs K insisted on visiting" the branch of work which can be suc- cessfully undertaken only by those who have for long years studied the ways of the lower east side.
 One lamentable case came to her knowledge almost st once. There was the usual poor woman, with six ehil- dren already in the world and the inc evitable seventh in prospect. Her hug band, she said, lay cold and dead Rt home, for she had not only no money to bury him, but none for food or clothing for his little ones. And how she had loved her husband. He had been such a good, hard working man never beaten her but once, when he was drunk And she didn't blame him then, because it was in honor Of the birth of their first and only son.
 Mrs. K. made what she considered a very shrewd remark. "How could yo0 tell it was to be your only sonP'
 "Ach, we hoped it would not be and Himmel has been good to us. We havs five more"
 Touched by this raaternal piety, Mrs K. almost broke the first canon pre- scribed for the real philanthropist. But wisely resisting in time the temp tation to give money, she said she would come and see if the story was true. Taking a friend to bolster up her nerves, she climbed the tene- ment stairs, and there, sure enough, was the dead husband, the six children and squalor in plenty. With quick tears of sympathy, Mrs, k. emptied her purse into the woman's lap and left her the bundles of food she had brought.
 When she reached the street she found she had forgotten her umbrella and hurried back after it. She had left the door ajar on departing, and now could see plainly through tho opening Q sight that set her somewhat on edge.
 Sitting upright ia his coffin was tho dead husband the good, hard-woris- ing man-in Jnstriously counting tGe money she had left IN. !. Herald.

 Jacob Hoigate, Of Corvallis. Ore. started out to capture 6 sea lion req ccRtly and found n very brief period that it was au elephant he had on his hands. The sea lion was lying on the beach, along which Mr. Holgate was driving in his buggy, drawn by healthy young horse. Mir Holgate lassoed the lion, and tying the rope to his buggy axle, whipped up his horse with the intention of hauling the lion back to town. After being dragged along few yards the lion decided to go home to sea, and started toward the breakers. Despite all the efforts of Mr. Holgate and his horse the lion got the better of the tug of war and in a few minutes the hind wheels of ths wagon were in the surf Then Mir. Holgate cut the rope, and was glad to get home alone and alive.

ssYMPATHiEs OF CHILDREN

2 Ghild's Love Frequently Takes tho Forna
 of HeipFulness.
 Very sweet and sacred to the mother Gre the childs first clear indications e concern for.herself. These are sporadic, springing up rarely and sometimes, as 1t looks to HIS, capriciously. Illness and temporary removal are common occasion for the appearance of deeper tenderness in the young heart A lit Ele boy of three spontaneously brought s,is story book to his mother when she lay in bed ill; and the same child used to follow her about after her recovery with all the devotion of little knight.
 Very quaint and pretty, too, are the first attempts of 8 child at consolation. A little German girl, aged two and half, had just lost her brother, and seemed very indifferent for some days. She then began to reflect and to ask about her playmate. On seeing her mothers distress she proceeded in truly childish fashion to comfort her: Never mind, mamma, you will get better boy. He was a ragmuffin" {aEr war ein Lump'4 The coexist. ence of an almost barbarous indiffer- ence for the dead brother with prac- tical sympathy for the living mother is characteristic here.
 4 deeper and more thoughtful sym- pathy comes with years and reflective power. Thought about the overhang- ing terror, death, is sometimes the awakener of this Are you old, mother?" asked a boy of five. ''Whyo" she answered. Because, lie continued, .'the older you are the nearer you are to dying" This child had once before said he hoped his mother would not die before him, and this suggests that the thought of his own ferlorn condi- ton was in his mind here; yet we may hope that there was something of dis interested concern too.
 This early consideration frequently takes the practical form of hopeless ness. A child loves nothing better than to assist you in little household occupations; and though love of &C., tivity and the pleasure of initiating, no doubt, count for much in these cases we can, think, safely set down some thing to the wish to be of use This inference seems justified by the fact that such practical helpfulness is not always initiative. 4 little boy of two years and one month happened to over hear his nurse say to herself, T wish that Anne would remember to fill the nursery boiler.' ''He listened and presently trotted off, found the said Anne doing distant grate, pulled at her apron, saying, Mama, Nannaf lcome t5 nrrse). She followed. surprised and puzzled, tthe child pulling all the way, till, having got her into the nursery, he pointed to the boiler, adding, Go dare, go dare so the girl comprehended and did as he bade her With this practical ''utilitarians sympathy there goes 3 wish to please in other ways.

In addition to suffering severely from

food the sufferer was greatly tried by

The rarest species of bird nov eX-
liant, and one which Is almost extinct,
has its home m the jungles Of
South America. This archaeological
curiosity Is known 10 science as the
palamedra corduda, aud 10 the com
mon people a. the horned screamer.
As rara avis nothing could excel the
cornuda unless Il would be the acci-
dental discovery OF a living mOa OF an
epinoris. But lew bird books let
Won know that such q horned paradox
ever existed, let alone telling you that
living specimens of the queer creature
are still occasionally met with. The
only one now in captivity IN North
America, II the writer has not been
misinformed, is that belonging to the
aviary of the Philadelphia geological
gardens. and which arrived iu this
country about three years ago. The
creature Is about the size of full
grown turkey hen, and of blacklsh-
brown color. One of Its distinguish
iug ucculinrities Il a ruiie of black
and white which surrounds the head.

the early South American explorers
to write 50 many chapters On the
.'wouderful rhinOceros bird OF the
Jungle" j. about four inches IN length,
and grows straight mp out OF tine

head. But the above Is not the only
only natural offensive and defensive
weapon with which the horned scream
er has been provided. On each wing,
