.'AIy Village" by T. Boyd Smith, is
hook that will appeal with especial force
to persons of an artistic temperament The
author is an American, native of Boston,
who for many years has spent his winters
in Paris and his summers in Valombre, or
in some equally quaint and picturesque sea-
coast village He has thus come to know
the French peasant very intimately. 1t is
fortunate that coupled with this knowledge
should be the capacity to interpret, in both
text and illustration, the tragedy and the
comedy of village life. His pen pictures
have a sympathetic quality that is some
what rare, but it is no disparagement to his
capacity as a writer to say that it IS his
drawings which give his book its chief dis
tinction OF these there are nearly one
hundred and fifty. Every type of French
village life, depicted with sympathetic
tenderness as well as with delicate humor.
seems to have strayed from the artists
notebook into these pages.
The originals of the monotint plates, OF
which there are about fifty, were made
in curious way. First, a porcelain plato
was smeared with a thin layer of black
paint. Before this paint could dry the
drawing had to be made and the impression
taken off upon paper by pressure from the
palm of the hand. Sometimes good. and
more often poor result was obtained. The

tiful chimpanzee, whose name was Mir
anda. .....
Consul had never seen such beauti-
full chimpanzee before, and he fell deep
ly in love at first sight. Miranda re-
turned his regard, but she had become
attached to the household of British
trader, and she insisted that she would
not live elsewhere.
Miranda took great pleasure in in
structing Consul, and it was not long
before he could eat raw eggs, drink
from teacup and smoke pipe-ac-
complishments which were shared in
a higher degree by his wife, Miranda.
Some years after this, in 1893, Consul
accept an engagement with the Zoologi-
cal gardens at Manchester, it having
been agreed that, in return for board
and lodging and care in sickness, he was
to exhibit his performances in public.
The managers of the gardens, not being
aware Of Consul's high moral character,
and fearing that he might leave the
premises at the first opportunity, locked
the door of his apartments on the first
night of his arrival. This was an in
dignity which the newcomer took inn
mediate measures to resent and to cor
rect, Having read some of the marvel
Gus tales about how certain prisoners
had escaped from their cells by oddly
improviseds tools, he set to work on a
teaspoon and in a short time had de-
vised very serviceable chisel.
With the aid of this instrument he
soon regained his freedom, and sincl

have been seen any fine day, gravely
parading the walks of the gardens in q
gorgeously decorated coat, stockings
and shoes, wearing a comfortable soft
hat and leaning on cane. Occasion

had a pleasant word for those whom he
met, whether they were within or out

How She Spelled 1t,

ably some readers would be puzzled to

cinnati girl could tell them how, ac-
cording to the Enquirer. She does
not go to school, but is taught by her
mother at home. The other night her
father was hearing her spell. One
word after another was successfully
disposed of, and then he said: Now,
Annie, am going to give you hard
one. If you spell it correctly I'll bring
you some candy. How do you spell
yesterday" 1t was hard one. An

TWO TEMPTING RECEIPTS.
A CONNECTION of Figs and q Celebrated
Rule for Making Chocolate. .. ...

al RUE MAKING SnOCOlate. s.... .r.
Take dry figs. The choicest thin
skinned ones are not necessary for this
purpose. Wash and cut them care
fully to be sure no imperfections are
left. Pour boiling water on them
and let them simmer until the skins
are quitet tender. Then remove the figs
and add sugar sufficiently to make rich
sirup of the water in which they were
boiled, and lemon or grape juice to
give color and acidity. Pour this on
the figs and set them away to cool.
When William NJ. Evarts occupied a
seat in the United States senate and a
fine house, with his family, in Wash
ington, the chocolate at their afternoon
receptions became famous. The re-
ceipt for it was as follows: One quart
milk, one cake chocolate, essence of
vanilla. Crate the chocolate very fine,
mix with teaspoonful of hot water
and rub smooth. Allow the milk to
come to a boil, put in the chocolate and
boil about five minutes, or until of de-
sired thickness. After removing it
from the fire season with the essence
of vanilla according to taste. Boil in
n farina kettle. The chocolate should
then be poured into dainty cups while
still in the kitchen and served quickly
steaming hot.
Fill the cups two-thirds full with the
delicious brown mixture and add thick
beaten cream. This addition consti-
tutes the making of the famous Vienna
chocolate introduced at the centennial.
If only one square of chocolate is re-
quired, draw q line across the two
squares at the end dividing them in
half. With sharp knife shave off
the chocolate until you come to the
line, which saves waste OF time and
material.-Chicago News.

Prehistoric Literature in America.

The only evidence that has ever been
found going to show that the prehis-
torict cave-dwellers of America had a
written language was discovered for
the first time in the year 1891. In the
summer of that year Profs. Shaler and
Warren, the former of Yale college,
made thorough exploration of what
is known as Falling Spring cave, in the
Seauatchie valley, state of Tennessee,
and therein found incontrovertible
evidence that the prehistoric Amer
leans were a race of civilized beings,
possessing q literature and an alphabet.
In one of the galleries of the cave they
found the body .of a human q being.
transformed 10 stone by the salts and
silica in the dripping water, and near
by a large oval slab, upon which were

some of which contained nine and ten
letters, only 80 different characters
were used, proving conclusively that
their alphabet was one of 80 letters
only.-St. Louis Republic. .o'

hastened to the door, when she hap
pened to catch sight of a bird cage just
inside it, containing strange looking
black bird, with two white bands, that
reminded her of those worn by English
elergymen, extending downward from
its throat. 81, At, the same moment a
woman appeared at the half-opened
door leading to the rear of the shop.
.Tas tina burd be taken, num-" said
she, with a strong North-of-England
accent. ''Tas parson, mum; them do
go on wors'n parrots" .......l
On inquiry, the talker proved to be
what naturalists call Prostehmadera,
which had been brought by the shop
keeper all the way from New Zealand
(where she had formerly resided), of
which the, bird is a native. HFHm
It's popular name, ''parson bird, given
IT. by the carly colonists of New Zea-
land in allusion to- the peculiar tufts
of long white feathers that hang down
from the throat as if to set off its glossy
black plumage, and which resemble
clerical bands, certainly seems appro-
pirate. Perched on a stump, as an ex-
UenpOTlZeu 'pdlhcT, ~ gives SShV W q Je'l
gon of sounds, displaying its'bands and
gesticdlatingin a manner that irresist-
IDLY reminds one of the declamatory
style of preaching. A gentleman de-
scribing the bird says:
''He shakes his head, bending to one
side, then to another, as if he made his
remarks first to this part of his hearers
and afterward to that, and once again,
with pent-up vehemence, contracting
his muscles and drawing himself to-
gether, his voice wakes loud, as if to
awaken sleepers to, their senses."nsN
It is favorite cage bird with the col
onists, being easily reared in confine-
ment, and it's extraordinary powers of
mimicry make it a very interesting pet.
II can repeat whole sentences and i1ni-
tate, among other things, the barking
of dog to perfection. Its memory,
teachableness and articulation are bet
ter than those of any parrot; in fact,
perhaps, it is the best talker among
| birds

the place, writes J. Carter Beard in

turned about to leave a hoarse voice
called out:
"Wait moment, ma'am. Take q

at not seeing any source from which
she could suspect the voice to proceed
or any possibility of accepting the in

THE SONG OF THE GUN.

The furnace was white with steel a-light,
When my newborn spirit came
I'm a molten flood of the war-god's blood,
In passion of fire and flame.
Il looked Ger the deep from lofty steep
With a strong heart full of pride;
Like a king alone on his stately throne
Whose word no man denied.
Ny thunder spoke from the battle smoke,
When the waves ran crimson red,
And heroes died by my iron side,
Till the foreign foemen fled.
The sentence Of death was in my breath,
And many ship went down
oh. the gun is lord of the feeble sword.
And greater is his renown. ..r
Now the long grass hides my rusty sides,
And round me the children play;
But dream by night of a last great fight.
Ere the trump of the judgment day.
For men must fight in the cause Of right,
Till the time when war shall cease;
And the song of the gun will ne'er be done,
ill the dawn of lasting peace.

Theories of the Cold Treatment of Fellow

Theories of the Cold Treatment of Fellow
Passengers by Men Otherwise Decent
What is it that makes a decent man
turn bocr as soon as he enters @ rail
road car" If there were 80 double seats
in car and 80 men entered it each
would sit by himself. Let him, if he
chooses. But let the 31st man come in
and ask SIS this seat engaged?", and
the chances are that every answer he
gets will be Yes" .|t1 .'.'& ht'".
The other day Hartford man bound
for Boston asked six men who were
sitting alone if the seats beside them
were taken. Each answered "Yes,"
and yet five Of the six rode clear
through alone. Indeed, this habit has
gone so far that, if passenger moves
along to make room for you, you look
him over pretty carefully before you'll
trust yourself with him, for fear he is
a pickpocket. His unnatural demon
stration of hospitality invites sus-
picion. 30. II5E .fEr .a'TIyf
And this disposition of man to sit
alone seems to be matter of sex.
Women do not behave that way-at
least not in steamcars. In trolleys
IL women may start on one side of the
car, but, after three, or even four, have
gone, there's no more room, not even
for another woman, than there was
before. The remaining eight somehow
spread out their skirts SO as to look
more crowded than before. But in the
steamcar the average woman, especial
ly If she has with her big bundle, a
baby, or Il restless child, will take a
half-seat beside man, even if there's
whole seat vacant near by. u aRHf.l
There are some men to whom this
fate comes whenever they travel. 1t
may be due to a Christian gentleness
that beams in their eyes, but it may also
be due to the cowardice that they can't
conceal. At all events, they have the
company. and, generally, before long,
the bundle or the child is in their laps
and they submit. One reason is that
they have to. 1t is expected of them,
Maybe the cold treatment that one
man gives another in the cars Is his
method of getting even for the way
that women impose upon him. That
is plausible explanation and it's the
only one that appears. Nor does this
do away with the charge of boorish-
ness. That can't be done away with,
for it's there.-Hartford Courant.
