Rabbit. That Climb

A correspondent writes to the London
Field that while he was hunting rabbits
with ferrets in January he found rabbits
on three occasions in willow trees which
overhung the water Of mill stream.
The miller said that it was not an un-
usual circumstance. Some months ago
The Field told of other rabbits which
had been shot, like raccoons or opos-
sums. out of trees in England. In re-
cent years cases of rabbits in trees have
been reported with increasing frequency.
From Australia has come the most re-
markable story Of rabbits as climbers.
The only way in which rabbits could be
kept out Of certain tracts of land in
Australia was by the building Of wire
fences about them, the fences having
meshes SO small that the beasts could
not crawl through and being SO high
that they could not jump over. The rab-
bits have clawed at the wires until their
nails gradually have become hooked.
Some Of the rabbits learned to scale the
fences, and then great additional ex-
pense was necessary, for the top Of the
fence had to be bent over like J up
side down, with the hook out, 80 that
the rodents could not get over the top.
Australian rabbits are said to be learn

Kipling's Famous Poem.

It is the sentiment, says Arlo Bates
in The Atlantic, and not the object,
which arouses sympathy and kindles
the imagination. No mistake could be
more complete than to suppose that in
this poem is to be found any argument
in favor Of the use Of machinery as ma
terial for poetry. In "McAndrew's
Hymn" it is the character Of the stanch
old engineer and his feelings by which
the reader is moved. The wonders Of
the great engine are q hindrance, and
not help. il they are looked at in any
way other than through the eyes Of Nc
Andrew. The piece succeeds or fails to
the degree in which it makes his emo
tion real and contagious to the reader,
and that, too. as emotion pure and SIM
pie, quite without regard to what has
excited it. In so far as the attention is
caught by tailrod, crank throws, feed
ing pump and 'purrin dynamos"-
finely suggestive as is the epithet in
this last-the emotional effect is weak.

LADIES WHO STOLE.

OF W0Sn1nGCOnB Time.
We naturally have a very exalted
opinion Of the aristocracy of our coun-
try and can scarcely be convinced that
the ladies of society in the early days of
independence conducted themselves in
any but the most dignified manner. In
deed some Of their descendants would
feel highly elated to know that they in
any wise resemble their supposed court
ly ancestors. It is to be hoped that they
are not kin to the personages referred to
in the following complaint:
One Of our early statesmen actually
complains that between tippee beaux
and fashionable bellies an honest fellow
will stand a good chance Of being feeced
by the politest tissue of mistakes con-
ceivable. The gentleman will help him
self very casually to your hat If it is
better than his, take up your umbrella
with the most absent air imaginable,
bear off your loose coat without once
perceiving his mistake and pick up your
gloves, they SO much resemble his. I"
And now for the ladies' part in this
proceeding:
''The lady will borrow your penknife,
very accidentally put your pocket hand
kerchief into her muff or playfully take
your ring from your finger or breastpin
from your bosom, all as innocently as
though it was the very thing you called
upon her for, SO that between ladies
and gentlemen you will stand good
chance Of being turned out, stripped Of
all your possessions, according to the
newest rules Of etiquette. - Philadel-

FRENCH JOURNALS.

Most Of the French journals have1
sale de depeches, where bulletins am
displayed and museum Of relics Of the

much more personal in regard to it's lit
erary composition than that Of England
or America. A large proportion Of the
articles are signed with the names OF
the writers, even when the work ia
more or less Of routine nature, such
as the sporting or law departments Of
the paper. On the other hand, the own
ership Of newspapers is less frequently
lodged in single hands than is 2le case
in America Very many Of the French
papers are owned by companies or asso-
Citations, while the stock Of several Of
the best known. such as The Figaro and
Petit Journal, is bought and sold daily
on the Stock Exchange, the quotations
appearing as regularly as those Of rail
way shares or Government bonds.
The circulation Of all but very few
OF the Paris papers varies enormously,
according to the contents. II a paper
contains striking article, well adver-
tised previously. or IL its feuilleton, con-
tinued story orsmemoirs, which most Of
the French journals consider an essen
tial part Of their daily issue, is by some
we'll known author, the circulation will
run up $4,000 or 100, 900 in a week
and drop again as soon as the special
feature is discontinued. When Le Jour
began publishing NJ. Henri Rochefort's
memoirs, its circulation went up ive-
fold, although the price Of the paper
had been doubled in order to make hay
while the sun shone.
The French press is much more con-
centrated in the capital than that of
other European countries. In Germany,
for instance, it is not the press of Berlin
that has the largest circulation or the
greatest influence. In this, as in many
other matters, however, the French
press only bears out the saying that

FIGHT FOR A BlRoHousE.

U1ycatoheEs Dxtve1 Out by B1uebirds.
wrsns the 1inal vicSoes.
Zone spring, said lover Of birds.
"there came to birdhouse in my gar
den pair Of great crested flycatchers.
I had dozen birdhouses scattered
around. This particular one was about
a foot square, with peaked roof and q
chimney at each end. doorway for the
birds to go in and ont and q couple Of
anger holes bored through the back to
give the house light and air.
''This birdhouse, the summer before,
had been occupied by pair Of blue
birds, who had left their nest behind
them. This nest the great crested ay-
catchers pulled apart and threw out Of
the house, every twig and straw. They
cleaned the house out completely and
then they brought in everything new
and built q nest of their own and set
tied down comfortably for the summer.
"But in a few days pair Of blue
birds came along, and they made for
this house. It might have been the
same identical pair Of bluebirds that oc-
cupied it the summer before. ] don't
know about that, though / have no
doubt that robins and other birds that
have been south for the winter, hun
dreds Of miles away, do come back in
the spring to the same places and to the
same trees. Anyhow this Pair of blue
birds wanted that birdhouse, and they
were ready to fight for it, and that is
what they did. The fycatcher is nice
little bird and a pretty plucky sort Of q
fighter, but not q match for the blue
bird. They had grand round up inside
the house, and finally the bluebirds
pitched the dycatchers out, and later
they pitched out every stick Of furni-
ture that the fycatchers had brought
in, cleaned the house out entirely and
then brought in fresh material and built
a new nest according to their own ideas,
and they settled down for the summer.
'sWell, a few days after that pair
Of wrens came along, and they took q
fancy to that particular birdhouse, too,
and they sailed right inland tackled the
bluebirds on the spot. You couldn't see
the fight from the ground, but every
now and then you could see straw or
q feather shoot ont Of the front door of
the house. The bluebird is good,
sound fighter, but the wren is q better
one. and the upshot was that the wrens
fairly put the bluebirds out and took
possession of the birdhouse themselves.
And then the wrens did just what the
others had done. They pitched out ev-
cry scrap Of stuff in the birdhouse- just
tumbled it out Of the door, to fall on
the ground-and then they brought in
new stuff and built nest for them
selves.
Nobody molested the wrens. They
staid there and raised their young
there, and in the fall they all flew
away and left the birdhouse again de-
serted for tho winter. New York Sun.

A LESSON in ECONOMICS.

Again 1t is Washington girl.
This time she appears as an angel Of
economy to q young man who needs
that kind Of angelic administration
about as much as any other young man
in the Capital City, and she is just as
successful as if she were trampling him
under her scornful heel and making
him feel how utterly helpless man is in
conflict with the irresistible.
"By Jova - he was saying, "this sort
Of thing is simply intolerable!''
"What sort of thing?" she inquired,
with admirable poise.
"Why. I have just had to pay o mes
senger 40 cents to deliver note up
town for me, and he was gone less than
half an hour. It would be cheaper to
have hired cab and horse and driver,
and still cheaper to have sent it by
mail under special delivery stamp -
"What was the note?" she asked,
womanlike, before she thought.
"A response to an invitation to din
ner."
"Forty cents is cheap for good din
ner," she smiled.
''But I couldn't CO." he walled. SIT
was declination, and the 40 cents on
top Of that. Really, though, this mes
senger service is rank imposition and
should not be tolerated. twenty-five
cents an hour is ample, with short dis
tances at 10 or Is cents. The conven-
ience is easily worth that, but more
than that is plain extortion and the
greed Of monopolies.
"You have my sympathy. You are
the more entitled to it ha9ause you
don't seem to know any better. Now,
why aren't you as bright as man ]
know, who hasn't any more money
than you have? When he has a note OF

pensive than messenger service, just
substitute candy for flowers. You can
get something perfectly lovely for 60
cents, and to add a book or pleasant
note to it makes itwell worth the girl's

ira. Now, is the plan clear to your stu
pid brain?''

scrimmage followed, during which
a number of the Italians were Sc

party then withdrew and two hours

attack was made on the shanties and an
attempt made to burn them. but this
time the foreigners drove their assailant
off. The Italians went to work under
