THE BALTIMORE ORIOlE.
Famous American bird That Is
. Common Illinois.

Common Illinois.
Belonging to the same family as the
blackbird, but quite unlike them in ap-
pearance, and of different habits. is one
of the most splendid and musical of the
feathered family, and one numerous
about Paoli. This is the Baltimore
oriole, one of the most famous, as it
deserves to be, of our American birds.
Its song is delightful, and its plumage
brilliant. 1t is known in some parts of
the country as the Golden Robin" or
"hang-nest." The head to the middle
OF the back, the wings and the upper
surface of the tail are black All the
rest of the bird is orangc-red, except a
white band, which crosses near the ends
of the wings. The markings of the
females are much less brilliant The
song of the bird is peculiarly rich and
varies with different birds. They are
great lighters, ard protect their won
derful nests gallantly. There was a
nest last year in one of the elms Just
across the creek from the Lithia spring,
and in that tree gallant oriole whom
we named Alexander held absolute
sway. Let another bird alight amid
the branches ard there was a flash of
what looked like fire through the leaves
and much clamor, ending with the swift
departure of the intruder. The eggs of
the oriole are a whitish pink, with pur-
pie brown blotches, and the nest which
contains them is a wonderful piece of
work. 1t Is sort of woven pouch sus.
pended from the very end of a limb,
and so strongly attached that il will
sustain weight of several pounds.
Further north the nest is very frequent
ly not at the end of limb, but hid
den in cluster of twigs in the tree
tops, where IL has greater protection
from the elements. There are many
kinds of orioles in the United States,
but the Baltimore oriole is decided
ly the most beautiful and companion
able. Its name is not given il because
1t is more numerous in Maryland or
the vicinity of Baltimore than il is else
where, but because the livery of the
earl of Baltimore, under whose patron
age Maryland was first settled, was
orange and black, so il came that the
settlers had the fancy of calling this
songster which attracted their admira-
tion the baltimore bird."-Stanley Wa.
terloo, in Paoli Qll) Republican.

CHAPTER XXvI.

After the business of transferring
the mine to its new owner was COM
pleted, John Kenyon went to the tel
cgraph Office and sent short cable
message to Wentworth. Then he
turned his steps to the hotel, an utter
ly exhausted man. The excitement AMI
tension of the day had been too much
FOR him, and he felt that, if he did not
get out of the city of Ottawa and into
the country, where there were fewer
people and more air, he was going to
he i'll. He resolved to leave for the
mine as soon as possible. There he
would get things in as good order as
possible and keep things going until
he heard from the owner. When be
goe to his hotel he wrote to Went
worth, telling the circumstances under
which he secured the mine, rather
briefly, and dealing with other more
personal matters. Having posted this
he began to pack his portmanteau pre-
paratory to leaving early next morn
ing. While thus occupied the bell boy
came to his room and said: 'There is

Brent, who wished to see him with re-
gard to some fcrmality relating to the
transfer, and he was, therefore, very
much astonished, in fact, for moment
speechless, to see Mr.. William Long

rather shabby room with his critical
eyeglass.

VERY reasonable request, very rea-

likely that a man would climb up here
into your room, and then not be pre-

WASHING BLANKETS

Summer is the best time for washing
blankets. To do the work satisfactorily
FIJI tub half full of soft hot water in
which half bar of Ivory soap has been
dissolved, and wash gently with the
hands. Rosin soap and hard rubbing

hang on the line in the sun. AS soon as
dry, fold evenly and put away securely
in box or closet. Blankets washed
thus will remain fresh and soft for

The Ameer of Afghanistan.

The ameer of Afghanistan is one
of the most autOoratic mOnarchs in
the world. Not the czar of Russia
or the sultan of Turkey is more alb
solute in authority. Yet he is, or
makes himself, curiously subject to
the will of the people in some TO
spects. A few years ago he greatly
desired to VISIT England and other
European countries, and the British
government was anxious that he
should do so. But he did not ven
ture to do SO without the consent of
his people. So he took a plebiscitum
on the subject. He sent proclama-
ton to every village in his empire,
telling what he wanted to do, and
explaining the advantages that
would accrue to him and to the EN-
pire from such a tour, and asking
the people to take vote on the sub
feet and let him know the result.
So the question was submitted to
universal suffrage. After few
weeks the returns were all in and
We're counted, and it was found that
a considerable majority of the peo'
pie were opposed to his leaving the
country. He was disappointed, but
acquiesced in the will of the people
and staid at home, sending his Sec
ond son to England in his place.

1t is to be hoped that the Treasury
Department will not appeal from
the decision of the Board of APP
praisers by which calfskins have
been relieAed from the payment of
the outrageous tariff tax levied on
hides. The appraisers have taken
the logical, sensible, practical view
of the matter, without the fear of
Jones of Nevada or the Republican
senatorial caucus before their eyes,
and have set aside a great wrong to
industry. Secretary Gage ought not
to try to re-establish the wrong.
Undoubtedly this decision will
mean loss of revenue to the gov
crnment; but the Dingley tariff is
such a monumental failure as rev.
enuc producer that this will make no
difference. Moreover, the govern
ment has been able to get along for
twenty-five years past without duty
on calfskins or any raw hides, and
it can keep on in the same way.
The tariff tax on hides remains, of
course.-lBoston Post.
