The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1897-04-29

The French colony Of New Caledonia
is troubled by the depredations of deer,
which multiply with marvellous rapid.
ity and invade the plantations, where
they do great mischief, even climbing
up into the granaries. A curious fea-
ture of the trouble is that the deer are
not native, but are the offspring Of n
present made to the colony by the
Queen of England.
A scientific writer draws from this
fact lesson that it is well to be eau
tiOus concerning the gifts of animals
we may bestow upon other countries,
and not make them without advice
from experts concerning the conditions
and contingencies. Rabbits in Aus
tralia, the mongooSe in Jamaica, and
the New CaledOnian deer afford in
stances in which such gifts, made with
the best intentions, have resulted dis
astrously.
1t Is said that the farmers of the
State of Maine have also suffered from
the incursions of deer since restrlc-
tions were placed upon the hunting of
them.

Dickens as Critic.

Charles Dickens had a great love
for music and particularly enjoyed
songs and ballads, anything pathetic
IN the strains of which quickly moved
him.
He had his own ideas of the way in
which songs should be rendered, and
when occasion offered he made them
known.
One day member of his house
hold was singing ballad, when sud
denly the novelist, who had apparent
ly been deep in book at the farther
end OF the room, got up, saying, "You
don't make enough of that word"
He seated himself at the piano and
illustrated his idea Of the way in which
the word to which he referred should
be emphasized and did not rise until
the phrase had been sung to his salts
faction.
After that, whenever the song which
became favorite with him was sung,
he listened with his head little on
one side until he had made sure that
his instructions had not been for
gotten that time K0ntAs Companion.

Funny Blunders.

The following is surely the funniest
vote of thanks uttered for long time.
The speaker, with evidently the best
intentions in the world, nervously
fioundered along through various
sentences complimentary to the
lecturer, and finally flckered out
feebly thus: "And so propose vote
OF thanks for the lecture to which we
have SO ably listened" The audience
was so wearied that it did not notice
the fatuous remark, and only the
lecturer smiled.
1t is fit to be placed beside another
muddle headed sentence made in con-
verSatlon to north London clergy
man. A man had been pressing his
views energetically on a certain ques-
ton, when suddenly he paused, and
looking at the clergyman said briskly,
sand now, sir, what is your humble
opinion 2"-L0na0n 7H,Bits.

Crossing the Atlantic.

"The best time to cross the Atlantic" f"
says woman traveller, sis in winter.
The passenger list is large enough
then for company and small enough
for comfort. Everybody gets acquaint-
ed with everybody else, and though
the voyage is apt to be prolonged no
one complains. Invent over In mob
last summer and was miserable. The
contrast with my return voyage was
very pronounced. Another sugges-
tion is to take one of the slow boats.
The few crack speeders are filled,
usually, with the rich society set who
cross to the other side. They con-
slider the trip bore and all the per-
sons on board not on their visiting
list detrimentals, whom to notice
would be crime. The atmosphere
on the less fashionable boats, for the
smart set affects its ocean liners as it
does its other fads and fashions. is
much more agreeable. There is sure
to be genial, delighted company, to
which one is made welcome, and OF
which one holds ever afterward de-
llghtful memories. ."--St. Louis Rebn6-

THE MOST ORIGINAL WoMAN's CLUB
1t will Test the Truth and Generosity OF
Its Members.

Indiana has the most original WON
ans club in America. In that broad
and breezy State, perhaps, there is
room for such n thing. The POSSIBLE
ity of it's existence in a more narrow
minded community is doubted. Its
membership is small, and its main OBJ.
ject is to increase the fascination of
each and every member. Every won.
an who joins pledges herself to divulge
the secrets of such charms and ac.
complishments as she may possess,
and, as far as possible, to impart them
to her fellow members. Accomplish
ments such as singing, playing, dane.
ing, even cooking, known by some, are
to be taught to the others.
So far so good, but the difficult part
is in the next group Of by laws. De-
fects are to be weeded out Any young
woman observing serious faults in q
fellow member is to labor with her un.
til such mental or moral blemishes are
removed. All peculiarities of tempera-
ment are to be closely watched and
fully discussed, with view to the i'm.
provement Of their owner. This Is the
point at which the tolerance and broad
mindedness of the Indiana woman is
expected to show itself.
Incidentally, the matrimonial pros
poets Of the members are to be looked
out for. Young men are to be studied
carefully, and reports on them read
and discussed at the club meetings, so
that no member can make the mistake
of marrying in haste without a suit
able knowledge of the man into whose
hands she resigns her natural and ac-
