The changed conditions of modern So
ciety seem to have struck some of the
lower orders of animal life. Thereport
comes from the national military home
at Marion, Ind, that "a common
Shanghai rooster has taken it upon
himself to hatch out brood of chicks
and act as mother and protector to
them. He set on a nest of eggs the
requisite three weeks and hatched out
the fluffy chicks in regular fashion, and
now he seems to be very proud of his
accomplishment. He fondles and pro.
tects them after the fashion of loving
and jealous mother. The story of this
queer ROSTERS peculiar act has brought
many people to the barns to observe the
barnyard phenomenon"

SPARROW AND ELEPHANT.
/, Contest That Was Decidedly
UncuunI.


A pupnacious sparrow the other day
flew into the elephant house in the
Central park menagerie and began pick
ing up the crumbs from the table of the
only elephant thou inside. TheEnam-
moth and midget apparently did not
see each other for some time. says the
New York Herald. until the former, III
shifting his position, nearly placed his
ponderous foot on the latter. The
fighting little specl1 of fuss and feath-
ers evidently accepted this thoughtless
act as a challenge to battle. and at once
flew in the elephants face. The great
beast looked astonished. and. sending
a small cyclone through his trunk
raised such cloud of hay and dust that
the bird was lost sight of.
When the air cleared the biped was

looked into the face of his antagonist.
Thus they stood, as though trying to
recover breath for few seconds, when
the elephant reached out his trunk to-
ward the sparrow. The bird. with out
stretched wings aud ruflled feathers,
threw himself with full force at the
end of the threatening proboscis. Then
came a gentle blast of air from the ele-
plants lungs, and the sparrow was
blown against the wall of the house.

as a parting look at his huge antag-

ACRES OF PINK POND LILIES.
Floral Display That Delights Con-

nccticut hallway Travellers.
One of the most beautiful floral eX-
hibits in New England is upon Tad
pole," a famous pond lily pond on the
line of the Norwich e. Worcester rail
road, one mile above Jewett City, Conn.
The surface of the pond is now a mass
of pink and white pond lilies, and their
fragrance is carried for miles by the
summer winds, says the New York
Sun.
No one knows how long this remark
able garden of pond lilies has been in
existence, but for many years Tad
poles lilies have been sought by picnic
parties from nearby counties in this
state, Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
Carloads of the flowers are carried
away, but there seems to be no diminu-
ton in the supply.
The railroad comes suddenly upon
the pond, which it divides in halves, and
in an instant the passengers detect the
fragrance of the lilies and throw up
the windows, the better to view the
beautiful and unusual sight. In one
section of Tadpole there is large tract
of lilies the blossoms of which are of
so rich a pink as to be almost rose
colored, it is said. They are of exceed
ingly rare beauty and are much sought
after by collectors.
Tadpole's unromantic name comes
from its being favorte place for
young frogs. 1t has been known 10y
this title for years, but an effort is now
making to change its name to the still
more unromantc one of Clayville

ious Suitor.
He was a theatric lover, and she didn't
like his style a little bit, says the New
York Sun.
He was constant in his devotion,
however, and that made matters worse.
She had tried gentle means to get
rid of him, but he had disregarded
them with painful persistency.
In this moment of her desperation
he felt it incumbent upon him to pro-
nose to her as men under similar cir
cumstances so often do.
Which they wouldn't if they had any
sense at all.
Dear one" he exclaimed, hurling
himself tragically at her feet, II love
you. My life is yours. viii you take
it?"
She did not look like murderess.
Mr. Singleton" she responded, with
calm determination, II will"
He gazed at her rapturously.
Don't do that" she begged, draw
ing back from him as if in horror. 81
have taken your life, as you requested
me to DO, and you are henceforth to all
intents and purposes dead"
He seemed dazed.
Il do not. Mr.. Singleton" she con
tinued, turning aside, desire to have
a dead person in the house, and if you
do not go away at once l shall ring for
an ambulance and have you removed
to the morgue."
Then the dreadful situation in which
his own precipitate folly had placed
him was revealed, and he removed him
self with promptness and dispatch.

Gently has probably never been printed

tory that Gen. Grant did not know how
to whistle, nor could he turn tune if
his life depended upon it. On one oc-
casion, says the Chicago Tribune,
when an attendant came to deliver
cards from a party of callers, he found
President Grant sitting at piano in
one of the upper rooms of the white
house drumming away with a two
finger exercise. Mrs. Grant was an
amused spectator of the generals
piano exercises, and neither of them
heard the messenger at the door with
the visiting cards.
Finally. however, the attendant
opened the door, but this did not in the
least disconcert the president, who
kept on practicing as though he was
really enjoying it, Here are the
cards, Ulys," said Mrs. Grant, "of n
party of friends whom we invited here
this evening. They are anxious to see
you. and if you are not too much inter-
ested in the piano we will go down
stairs in the blue parlor."
Don't you think you can get along
without me this evening?" replied
President Grant. 1T seems to me this

piano than plunge into the vortex of
society"

Mr.. Mason reports that Germany is
doing everything possible to extend her
commerce, having recently sent COM
missions to China and Japan and South
America for this purpose. Her trade
with the United States is being fos-
