Iloys and Girls, Bird f.ag.

How would you like to spend one day every year studying tho birds? The boys and girls of Oil City, Pa, and of Fort Madison, Ia. have regular bird day, which comes every. year, in the spring, like Arbor day. They have songs, reel tations and readings about birds, and in the afternoon they take trip to the woods to hear the soRgs of the birds. At the Fort Madison school the pupils bring their pet birds, and the building rings all day with their songs. Besides that, the pupils watch the birds all the year through, reporting when the birds come in the spring and studying those that remain during the winter. = Chicago Record.

A Mans Knee.

At the reception given to Dr. John Watson ill Syracuse two Scotohmen in highland costume, presented themselves. As the day was cold, many of the other guests expressed the fear that they would suffer discomfort from their bare legs. Hearing this one of the Scotchmen laughed and said: Do you know that 2 mans knee is like dog's nose? It is bonnd to be cold anyway. That is a fact, and syathing the knee in fannels and trousers doesn't make tho body a bit warmer. a

Much has been written about the beauty, tho stupidity and the vicious ness of the lizard tribe, and I want to say word about the intelligence of the chameleon, little reptile belonging to the great lizard family and i'll size the antipodes of the alligator, it's big brother.
 The incident l now relate came under my personal observation and demon- strates that the chameleon is susceptible of education and can be ranked with animals chased much higher in the scale of intellectual development
 Miss Henrietta Keene q little lady of 12 years, living in Philadelphia, was presented with two Florida ohameleons, and she 1t once began instrueting and educating her pets. By continued gen tleness and kindness she won their con- fidence, and at her call they would raise their heads, listen and then come run ming quickly. Soon they responded to their names-Brinton and Baby-and nodded their little heads knowingly.
 She then taught them to stand up on their hind legs and put their little fore paws together and stand ill the attitude of prayer, locking solemn and closing their eyes. At signal they would quickly prostrate themselves, roll oyer on their backs and pretend to be dead, lying without motion until told to rise and embrace. which they would do with every signof joy and pleasure.

 Commenting on the abo ze, the New Orltans Daily States says: If it is true, as thc DispatcA says, that q good deal of the bloom has been removed from the rose by women entering the business walks of fife and competing with men. This com petition has grown at such Q pace within the past twenty years that men have been crowded out of oceu- pations formerly belonging to them and forced to joln the rapidly in- creasing army of tramps, and as result women are not respected as much now as they were when they Illuminated home and not the busi- ness office with her presence. But VIC are glad to know that a crusade or courtesy is not necessary in New Orleans, and We hope never will be. While female labor has supplanted male labor in many in- dostrial pursuits in the South, our men, we are proud 10 say, hold women in the highest respect be- cause ehivalry is inborn and cannot be acquired. The gallant, courteous and respectful treatment of women has made the Southern gentleman famous the world over, and may he never fall below the mark set by his ancestors the cavaliers.

4 Mild BIapnered Mans Simple Method of
 Curing Ba1kiness.
 At least 20 minutes had been expend- ed in fruitless efforts to make the stub- born horse move. Hitched to bulky delivery wagon, he stood directly in the pathway of traffic at the crowded corner of Sixth avenue and Fourteenth street., The animal was large, apparently well fed and not oyerworked. There were no evidences of disability. It was simply a case of balk.
 Tine driver had exhausted his persua- sive powers and sat quietly on his seat, tho half dozen men who had been tug ging st the wheels of the wagon had de- sisted from their intellectual exertions, the knowing individual who sought to coax the animal with q whisp of hay had throwa down the untempting bait ill disgust. md the daft fellow who es- sayed to tT ist Che horses tail had man. aged to get away without being kicked, when a mild hammered gentleman. silk halted and kid gloyed, came upon the scene.
 Quietly pushing aside the impatient street car driver who wanted to build a fire under the animal, the gentleman gently stroked the horses neck with one gloyed hand while with the other he picked up the baked creature s right foot, bending it back and holding 1t firmly.
 Nodding to the driver, he said, "Now go ahead ,
 The driver hourished his whip and said "G langF' The horse insti1fotiyely started, and, finding that it's powers of locomotion were gone, became restiYe. The gentleman then released the im- prisoned foot, which the animal imme. diately put into action by trotting rap idly down tho street.
 After brushing few particles of dirt from his glove the mild hammered man passed on his way, and the congestion in the street enjoyed speedy relief New York Times

THE DECAY OF CHITALRl.

A well meaning and chiyalrous gentleman in Chicago has started what he is pleased 10 call "a crusade of courtesy in other words it is his determination to make the men of that city show more gallantry and respect for women by surren- dering their seats in street cars to the softer sex We do not know of a harder spot than Chicago in which to inaugurate campaign or a cru sade of courtesy, but it is to be hoped that the crusader will succeed and battery of artillery will signi- fy the event by firing a salute on the lake front, but we arc inclined to believe that he is doomed to sore disappointment, because of the material he has to deal with and the fact that the times have changed Commenting on this fact the Chicago Dispatcl says
 ''The male biped who keeps his seat in street cars while women stand is not necessarily hog. He may be simply a very tired man,
 1t is one of the deplorable feat ures of latter day civilization that women have voluntarily surrendered that consideration shown them a generation ago.
 They have gone into the indus trial market and have bid against their brothers for places of profit, and their brothers have very prop erly como to recognize them as a force to be recognized in the strug gle for existence nothing more.
 If the men Of this country can not support its life; if female labor is essential to the development of industries, then it would ill become man to affect superior strength by surrendering his rights in public conveyances or anywhere else.

Teddy never meant to do if, but when Tom threw snowfall what could he do but squeeze up another and toss 1t back? And how could ke know that naughty bail would hop right over Tom s head and go smash right into the window of Miss Priscilla Prim s millinery shop? But there was the bro- ken pane and the glass scattered all oyer the ladies' bonnets.
 Tom dodged around one corner and Teddy around the other. When Miss Priscilla looked out. the street was as empty and still as if there was not one little boy ill town.

 Just five minutes later Teddy stepped into Miss Priscilla's shop with his little red savings bank in his hand. He emp tied it on the counter, and out came rolling such swarm of dimes and nick els and pennies Miss Priscilla was so surprised that her eyebrows went right mp to her little gray ourls.

Chicago, Jan. 29.-The wheat market
opened with every bear feature in good
working order and an attempt was i'm
mediately made to bring about another
smash III prices, but 1t soon became
apparent that there was a supporting
power at work, and it did not take long
Tor the crowd to change front and
help along a recovery. Liverpool open
ing cables were lower to agree with
yesterdays break on this side. Second
ones gave a recovery, and that assisted
the better feeling here. Receipts at
Chicago were rs cars and 66.S38 bush
els were taken from store. The north
west had 1874 cars against 276 last Fri
day, and 5l1 a year ago. In the last
hour there was repetition of yester
days action, prices Succumbing to
heavy offerings of long wheat. A sharp
break occurred, prices dropping almost
to the inside put figure Closing. con-
tinental cables were generally lower,
although full sympathy with American
Weakness was not shown. Export
clearances amounted to 1S3,S1S bushels.
At the close, shorts covered freely and
a reaction resulted May wheat opened

Corn-The earlier steadier tone of
wheat aided that of corn materially.
Oats-There was improvement in
oats as in the other grains. No extra
ordinary incident was noted nor was
there unusual interest, but trade was
Ect by any means dull. Receipts were
l53 cars. There were no Withdrawals
from store. May oats closed q over
yesterday. Estimated receipts for to-
morrow, 200 cars.
Provisions-Similar action to that
witnessed in grain took place in pro-
visions. The opening was easy, then
there was a rally which was due to
covering by shorts. Sympathy with
wheat affected the feeling here The
strength of corn was an important fac
tor in provisions late in the session.
