Loves Young Dream.

There was love-sick couple from
the backwoods at the Baltimore &: Ohio
depot one day last week and they didn't
care who knew 1t, They were evident
ly in town for the day and were walt
ing for their home train. He was about
20, she IS and both were evidently en-
gaged-not only to be married in the
future but to make love to each other
for the present.
In spite Of the fact that 1t was the
busiest part Of the lay for the depot
they made love as happily as though
they were nesting beneath the sunny
smiles of a hay-rack in their provincial
homo. The depot might have been as
deserted as tho garden of Eden for all
they cared, for they proceeded with
their billing and cooling in the most
birdlike fashion. until all the spectators
turned away in disgust. The seats are
separated by side rail but that was
no obstacle to the devoted Romeo, for
he calmly slid into the same seat she
occupied, until both were compressed
into a space eighteen inches wide.
Then his arms stole around her waist
and she leaned her head on his manly
shoulder. He softly chirruped his little
lay of love and she blushed and looked
as though she would like to have him
say 1t again. Then they became SO de-
voted that stout policeman who Is on
duty at the depot gave 1t up and con-
cluded not to break up their business.
For three solid hours before the pass
ing crowd of people the ticket agent sat
and watched this love-sick perform
ance and at the close the young man
and his girl looked at every one as
bravely as though no one had seen

summed up, is as follows: The vessel,
a side-wheel iron steamer, was pur-
chased in New York in 1870 by the
Cuban revolutionary junta. and was
used for the transport of men and mu-
nitions to the coast OF Cuba. She was
entered as an American vessel, how
ever, and continued to fly the stars and
stripes on her various cruises. Her
last trip was in the autumn of 1873.
when she left Kingston. Jamaica. with
one hundred and seventy-five volun-
teers and a complete armament. and
turned her helm toward the Cuban
coast. Her captain, Joseph Fry, was a
native Of Louisiana, and had been
specially engaged for the occasion. Her
crew for the most part were New
Workers, and were unaware OF the OBJ
ject of the expedition. Unfortunately
a damage to her machinery obliged
the Virginius to seek temporary shell

Volunteers. On Nov. 9 a drum-head
court martial was convened on board
the Tornado, and the four leaders
OF the expedition, Generals W. A.

Bernabe Varona and Pedro Cespedes,
brother of the president of the Cuban
republic, were condemned to death on

STRANGE ACCIDENTS TO BIRDS

An Irish naturalist once observed
dumlin acting in very curious manner
on the seashore. The bird would alight
then fly short distance, then alight
again, violently shaking its head. A
round lump appeared fastened to Its
beak. 1t turned out that the bird had
innocently attempted to investigate a
cookie which it had found open. The
shell had closed on it's bill.
poor little chaffin was found dead
near EPSON with it's lower mandihle so
firmly imbedded in the shell of beech
nut that it had been unable to extri-
cate it and had died of starvation.
A hen pheasant was observed by a
sportsman to be flying around and
around in a wild manner. On being
shot 1t was discovered to have a large
oak leaf impaled upon its beak in such
way as to totally obscure its vision.
Herons sometimes choke themselves
by attempting to swallow large trout.
An elder duck has been killed by at
tempting to swallow a toad. A king
fisher was once found which could not
fly on account of having a young pike
stuck in its throat. Some hunters re-
moved the fish and the bird few away
unhurt.
Birds that employ hair in the build
ing of their nests come to grief in
strange ways. A gentleman who pos
sessed several colts noticed a small
bird entangled in the tail of one of his
colts. 1t had evidently been on a search
for hair and had become ensnared.
Cases Of birds getting their feet en-
tangled in wool or string are we'll
known and death usually ensues II hui

In the spring of the year the dead
leaves of pampas grass dry. fall to the

its neck that it could not feed and Sc
