The Skyiarls's Song.

In the winter the sliylark of England
does not sing, but in early days OF spring
the great fiocks of these birds break up,
and then go in pairs to look for places
to build their nests and rear their young
ones. And then the charming song OF
the skylark is heard in all its sweetness.
While the mother bird is brooding over
her eggs to warm them her mate often
rises into the air, and then with quiz.

Lost Arts of Egypt.

Analyses of weapons and TOOLS dat

pure copper in the manufacture OF suon

One Cannot Overthrow a Republic.

In The Century there is an article on
political society i'll Paris under the title
of "Royalists and Republican, writ
ten by Baron Pierre de Coubertin.
Speaking of the efforts of the Legiti-
mists and Orleanists, NJ. de Coubertin
says:
The period which followed the de-
cease of the Count de Chambord was
one of increasing disillusions. 1t had
been so continually reiterated among
their adherents that the Orleans princes
would lido something" as soon as they
had 1.-THE right" that every one had
ended by believing that they would.
Now that the right was theirs as the
sole representatives of legitimacy, they
did nothing. Very little reflection suf-
feed to show how impossible it was
that they should do anything. One may
conspire against a sovereign, overthrow
a monarchy. What power can be used
against a republic based on the ballot?
To all pretenders the republic replies
"You wish to take my place? Very
we'll. You have the right to do so. Get
q majority. Get them to elect you. -
An electoral majority large enough to
modify the constitution in favor OF the
individual to whom democracy gives
its confidence-that is the only chance
in republic. General Boulanger might
have attained his end in that fashion,
and even he failed. With the Comte de
Paris it was out of the question. He
could not at any time have commanded
a sufficient number OF votes. And 1t
would have been incompatible with his
dignity as pretender to sue for them in

A historian of the town of Athol.
Mass, writing in The Transcript of
that town, tells of an old citizen. Dex.
Ter Lee by name, who possessed the
PSwer OF controlling, even of intimidat-
ing, animals. Mr. Lee was one of the
most sunny and good humored of men.
In whose presence even quarrel was
well nigh impossible. Yet he was alb.
solutely fearless of either man or beast.
and no animal dared TO approach him
with hostile intent.
One day a peddler arrived in Athol
with a valuable stock of silk in his
wagon. A little crowd gathered about
it, among whom was Dexter Lee. AS
the peddler moved about the place,
from one store to another, without
locking up his silk, Lee remarked to
him:
Il should think you would be afraid
OF being robbed with so costly load. &"
No fear of that" said the peddler,
laughing. 81 have guard in there who
will protect the stock against anything. "
He pointed to large bulldog of fero-
cious aspect who lay inside the wagon
and who growled threateningly at the
crowd.

stand up against man. I"
Wouldn't he? You'd better not &C

Lee said no more, but stepped back a
little and drew his under lip between
his teeth, which caused his why chin
whisker to project into the air in an
extraordinary and alarming manner
Then he fixed his eyes sharply on the
dog and slowly approached the animal
The bulldog watched him for a mo-
ment as if fascinated, but presently,
when Lee made little dive at him,
the dog made leap out of the wagon,
and with a series of terrified bowls
bounded across the street and crouched
there with his tail between his legs.
Nor could his master induce him to
come to him until the terrible man had
gone to distance.

The Luxury of Rubber Tires.

One Of the most triumphant luxuries OF

wheels. A luxury triumphs when its alb
sence betokens antiquity and decay. Even
a public cab in New York which has not
rubber tires looks ancient and second rate,
and no amount of fresh varnish will make
it contemporaneous or restore its stand
ing. The rubber tire is the next best
thing to continuous asphalt pavements on
streets which carriages frequent. A good
deal of nonsense is written and printed
about the prospective elimination Of the
horse from the landscape Of cities. 1t is
true that the hoofs of the horse are not
well adapted for continuous use on as
phalt, and it seems also to be true that
nothing better than asphalt has been dis
covered for paving. If a new species of
animal could be invented that was better
suited than the horse for hauling carriages
on asphalt, the horse might be crowded
out, but there is no prospect of the dis
covery of such a beast. The camel has a
foot which would doubtless take good hold
of hard, smooth surface, but camels are
not pretty and camel hauling "a brough-

cite derision. Very likely the steam OF
electric carriage will have some vogue, but
it Is an ugly vehicle and probably never
can compete in style with the carriage that
is hauled by horses. -Harper's Weekly.
