A Practical Joke.

A practical joke that was played Oh
Charles Maurer of Eleventh and Cal
lowhill streets early last spring has re-
suited in something likely to puzzle the
brains Of several up town naturalists
Mr.. Maurer is great lover of birds
Last spring one Of his canary birds was
busy with a nest Of eggs and Mr.. Maui
rer was as much excited as the mother
bird. As joke Curtis Souder removed
the eggs and in their place put three of
the sparrow variety. Now, in the course
Of time those eggs were Matched, and
both mother bird and master were
greatly bewildered at the odd looking
birdlets. The joke in some way leaked
out, but as the mother bird was treat
ing her foster children tenderly Mr..
Maurer decided to let them remain and
watch the result. After the sparrows
got little older it was noticed that
the canary would put them in a row
and chirp to them, after which the
sparrows would try to initiate her. Per-
severance on the canary's part has re-
suited in three ugly sparrows that are
beginning to sing, and it's toss up as
to whom the joke is on. philadelphia

THE MOTHER AND HER BOYS.
There are Fairfax and Fred and Arthur an
Ned

There are Fairfax and Fred and Arthur and
Ned,
Good boys, and remarkably clever.
In studies and sports and games of all sorts,
To excel is their noble endeavor
And when porting DER books with studious
looks
Despairing of help from a brother,
The eldest of all will not scruple to call
For aid from his bright little mother.
In out of door games every one of them claims
Her presence to strengthen and cheer them,
For the better their luck and the greater their
pluck
They say, il their mother is near them,
With hearty good will and wonderful skill
She champions one or the other,
And the boys oft declare, with a satisfied air,
There's no better playmate than mother.
She joins in their walks, and delightful the
talks,
Most sacred and sweet the communion
The mother enjoys as she strolls with her
boys,
So loving and loyal their union.
Their future careers, their hopes and their
fears,
They would not reveal to another,
Are confided to her, and the lads all aver
The best Of companions is mother.
She shares in their games and in all of their
aims,
Their faults and their follies correcting,
That they may grow wise and secure the best
prize,
True culture and courage rejecting.
And If quarrels take place, as at times is the
case,
Alas, betwixt brother and brother,
She soon sets them right, preventing fight,
For there's no better umpire than mother.

A,HeaIthy Body and Clear Head.

If indigestion, constipation and bilious
ness torment the body, the head cannot
be clear. These disorders react upon the
brain most hurtfully, and produce q
cloudiness in the organ of thought not
experienced by healthy man. Happily,
these brain depressing maladies may be
entirely dispelled by that peerless altera-
tive, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
cheers, refreshes.and invigorates the brain
and nerves, while it regulates the organs
of digestion, assimilation and bilious
secretion. 1t expe)s the 'morbid. humors
which poison the system through the
bowels and urinary passages, and exerts.a
powerful invigorating influence as we'll.
It's cathartic action is never irritating,
violent or painful, but even, natural and
progressive. As an appetizer and sleep
promoter, the Bitters is.unrivalled; it
mltigates the infrmities of age, relieves
the ailments peculiar to the gentler sex,
arrests premature decay, and builds up an
enfeebled physique.

Fatigue and Digestion.

The influence of fatigue on digestion is
pretty well understood. Scientific expert
ments have demonstrated the fact beyond
a doubt. They have even gone farther and
shown that fatigue is disease and that it
is possible to produce the same symptoms
in one animal organization by inocula-
ton with the fatigued serum of another,
showing that overwork produces an actual
poison in the system. Worry is equally an
tagonistio to good digestion, another fact
that Is well known, but cannot be too Of
ten reiterated to this nation Of worrying
folk. A little rest and banishmont of care
in preparation for a meal should become a
habit. 1t means heightened life and pre-
served health, as do such other confessedly
hygienic habits as proper bathing, dress
ing and wholesome food.--New York Post.

F6rfume9s
A new process for extracting the per-
fume Of flowers has been devised by M.
]. Passy He sleeps the flowers in wa
ter, which is drawn off when charged
with perfume and fresh water substi-
tuted. This keeps the flowers fresh for
long time, and their life Is further
prolonged by the use Of saline solution
such as the tissues Of the plants call for.
The charged water is then evaporated
by the use Of ether. The process has
proved successful with many flowers
which previously refused to yield up
their perfume, notably the lily Of the
valley.

It was a fine SrJTnar IaCTnlng IN one
of the southern counties Of Virginia,
and in front of her own little house sat
Aunt Belinda Tinsley, pairing pc atoes.
This worthy person was colored
woman, something under forty years
of age, light brown in color and come
ly tolool1 upon. She was neatly dressed,
and her surroundings, as well as the
amiable and satisfied expression OF her
countenance, showed that her circuna-
stances were comfortable.
In her earlier days she had lived
with white people and had been cook
and laundrass. Retiring from domes-
tic service she had married Dick Tins
aev, an industrious and worthy black
smith, who, about two years before
this summer morning, had died, leav-
ing his widow a small but we1l-built
house of more pretentious design than
any Of the negro habitations in the
neighborhood, a few acres Of land, all
paid for, and, as report had 1T, an IN
come, although there was not unanlm-
ity in the neighborhood regarding the
amount of this income, nor from what
lit was derived. But everybody knew
that Aunt Belinda, as she was called
hy her older friends ndacquaintances,
or Mrs Tinsley, as some colored people
of progressive views now chose to des-
sirnate her-was person to be envled,
because, so far as outsiders could de-
tcrmine, she had all she wanted.
Aunt Belinda lived alone, and when
she had pared four medium-sized pota-
toes she knew these were enough for a
meal, but she was considering whether
or not.it would be well to boil some
more which might be cut up and fried
for supper, when, raising her eyes, she
saw man coming along the path
ywhichsle to her house. At first She
did not recognize him, but in few
minutes she saw that he was Moses
:Lipscomb, a man somewhat younger
than herself and a,little browner. She
had known him all her life as good
'natured, jolly fellow, who, although
systematically Industrious and able te
perform surprising feats Of labor al
hog-killing time, or on other occasions
when the work was suitably mixeo
with excitement, was in general, on &C
count of his aversion to monotonous
employment, as needy man as ever
strutted through a cake walk OF
twanged banjo
This morning, as has been said, Aunt
Belinda did not at first recognize him

the starched threads hung over his

There is probably no measure De-

is a part of the code of nearly every CIV

by experience to be an indispensapie
requisite to the permanent success OF
business enterprise. 1t is liable to abuse
of course, as every beneficial law is ia

adverse considerations. We are behind
the civilized nations of Europe today
in this particular, and it is high time
that we should act.
