OUR GIRLS AND BRlTONs.
Why American Maidens Are Tempted to
Wed StOlid Englishmen.

Why American Maidens Are Tempted to
Wed Stolid Englishmen.
Why does the American girl marry
the Briton? Has she any adequate jus
LITIGATION? Do you suppose it pays her,
and can such a choice on her part be
defended on large grounds as promotive
of the greatest good of the greatest
number? Is it fact, as has been flip
PANTY suggested, that she moves to
England to get country life because we
have no good roads here yet, or, on the
contrary, can it be demonstrated that
one reason our country roads are so bad
is that the American girl cannot abide
the country and promptly carries her
man off to town at the earliest moment
that sees his endeavors blessed with
the necessary income? Is it her fault
that country interests tend too much to
fall to the care of a residuum that is
too poor to get away, or has the coun-
try life not much to do one way or the
other with her British propensities?
To be honest, there are other con-
ceivable reasons for marrying an Eng
lish gentleman besides his country
roads. He may be a charming gentle
man-they are said to be so once in
awhile-who can win wife by plain,
personal courtship, and whom any wom-
an would be justified in marrying on
general principles and without specific
excuses, or he may be good ''aver-
age" sort Of man whose advantage
over his American brother is a matter
of size or complexion Or hale appear
ance have known American women
who ventured to assert that the femi-
nine eye rejoiced more in the type of
male human that treads the pavements
of Piccadilly and Pail Mall than in the
contemporaneous pedestrians of Fifth
avenue and Broadway.
Or maybe it is his superior stolidity
that electrifies in the Briton. 1t is to
be feared that there is truth in that tale
Mr.. Kipling or somebody was telling
of how phlegmatic merchants of the
east had discovered that the way to
beat the American was simply to put
him off and let him fret himself reck-
less. Stolidity is not quite the same as
repose, but to persons who are suffering
from an acute dearth Of repose it may
appeal as tolerable substitute, SO that
one can imagine an American maid,
worn with the restless aspirations of
her high pressure countrymen, turning
with sincere relief to pillow her fair
young head upon bosom behind which
lurked no threat of heart failure

M. Mingaud, naturalist of Mines,
France, gives, in La Revue Scientifque,
an interesting account of the musical
accomplishments of sparrow in his
collection of living birds. He captured
the sparrow soon after it had been
Matched and fed it by hand until it
could care for itself. Then he placed it
in cage containing chaffinch, gold
finch and two canaries. After a time
the sparrow learned to MARBLE like the
fnches and to trill like the canaries, the
limitations being so perfect as to deceive
the ear. In spring M. Mingaud is ac-
oustomed to keep a box of crickets near
his birdcages. Two days after the
crickets had been placed near the cage
containing the sparrow the latter began
to initiate their cry, intermingling it
with its songs. Even after the crickets
had long been dead the sparrow remem-
bred its lesson and continued to repeat
their cry. None of the other birds at
tempted to initiate the crickets. Singu-
larry enough, the sparrow never utters
the peculiar squalling cry of it's own
species, having been removed from it's
nest too early, apparently, to have
learned it.

"Few Americans know that this
country owns a cemetery at Saltillo,
Mexico, and fewer still are aware Of it's
shameful neglect" said Colonel j. S.
Ross of New Orleans recently. 81 visit
ed the place not long ago and felt hu-
inflated by the evidences of the lack of
attention which are manifest. Thou
sands of the bravest men who volun-
teered their services for the Mexican
war are buried there. Niggardly little
headstones mark most Of the graves, but
there is no effort at decoration or order
ly treatment of the cemetery. A few
hundred dollars properly expended every
year would keep the graveyard III good
shape, so that Americans would not feel
ashamed of their country when they
visit it, / believe Colonel f. G.. More of
Missouri, while consul general to Mex
leo during President Cleveland's first
administration, tried to arouse a sense
of national pride in this matter, but
further than the earnest and feeling APP
peal he made to his countrymen nothing
has been done, so far as l know. st.

Orsini's Headaches.

DR.. Lees told one amusing story about
Orsini at Blaydon Hall. which showed
the latter as very simple man. Orsi-
nj, at one time, complained every
morning of his head. 81 ave one bad
headache" he used to say at breakfast
to Mrs. Cowen. One night Joseph Cow
en- detected a strong smell of gas pro-
ceeding from Orsini's room. He went
to see what was the matter and found
the explanation Of Orsini' bad head
aches. The room was quite dark, and
the gas had not been turned off. "What
did you do with the gas?" asked Cow
en-. 'Blew him out, said Orsini, who
had never seen a gas burner before. The
headaches then ceased. They were eff
fectually cured some months later at
the instance Of the emperor of the
French. Westminster Gazette.

Many years ago the farmers Of Aus
tralia imported bumblebees from Eng
land and set them free in their clover
fields. Before the arrival of the bees
clover did not flourish in Australia,
but after their coming the farmers had
no more difficulty on that score. Mr..
Darwin had shown that bumblebees
were the only insects fond Of clover nee
tar which possessed a proboscis suffi-
GENTLY long to reach the bottom Of the
long, tubelike flowers and at the same
time body heavy enough to bend down
the clover head so that the pollen would
fall on the Insects back and thus be
carried off to fertilize other flowers Of
the same species According to writer
in Popular Science News, the humble
bees sent to Australia cost the farmers
there about half dollar apiece, but
they proved to be worth the price.

Richard Davey, in his book, "The
Sultan and His Subjects, says:
GAS to the sultan himself, his life is
of the simplest and most arduous. He
rises at and works with his secreta-
ries until noon, when he breakfasts.
After that he takes a drive or row on
the lake, within his vast park. When
he returns, he gives audience to the
grand vizier, the sheik ul-islam, and
other officials. At s O'Clock he dimes,
sometimes alone, not infrequently in
company with one of the ambassadors.
Occasionally his majesty entertains the
wives and daughters Of the ambassadors
and other Pera notabilities at dinner.
The meal, usually a very silent one, is
served in gorgeous style, a la Franchise,
on the finest of plate and the most ex-
quisite of porcelain. The treasures Of
silver and the Sevres at Yildiz are hors
de ligne, both in quantity and quality,
Very often in the evening Abdul Ham
id plays duets on the piano with his
younger children. He is very fond of
light music, and his favorite score is
that of La File de Nine Angot. He
dresses like an ordinary European gen
tleman, always wearing a frook coat,
the breast of which, on great occasions,
is richly embroidered and blazing with
decorations. -

TONIC

Mr.. Isaac Horner, proprietor of the
Burton House, Burton, w. Va, and
one of the most widely known men IN
the state, was cured of rheumatism
after three years of suffering. He
says: 81 have not sufficient COM
mand of language to convey any idea
of what | suffered; my physicians told
me that nothing could be done for me,
and my friends were convinced that
nothlng but death would relieve me of
suffering. Ia June. 1894, Mr.. Evans,
then salesman for the W heeling Drug
Co.. recommended Chamberlain's Pain
Balm. At this time my foot and limb
wers swollen to more than double their
normal size and it seemed to me my
leg wonld burst, but soon after ! be-
gan using Pain Balm, the swelling
began to decrease, the pain to leave
and now | consider that | am entirely
cured. For sale by druggists.

MY MOTHERS VOICE.

Oft in my happy dreams Of infancy
A voice was heard in that blest "long ago."
Now rising sweet and clear, then soft and
low,
In ripping tones of wondrous melody.
All through my childhood rang that happy
voice,
Which fainter grew, as youth came on apace,
Yet echoed on, when, weary Of life's race
heard its tones, which babe my heart rejoice.
Bar from that happy home, yet not alone,
wander, bearing in my heart that song,
Which fingers, guarding me from every
wrong.
ever hear it's old, familiar tone.

THE SCHOOL BONDS

The city council yesterday adopted
without change or amendment the plans
and specifications presented by the
board of education of the new school
houses which it is proposed to build un-
der the bond issue-provided, of course.
that the bonds are issued An ordinance
of intention was also adopted, prepara-
tory to calling an election on the bonds.
The council by its action has virtually
surrendered everything to the board Of
education, which will have the expend-
iture of the entire amount raised.
AS has been stated by The Herald, the
history of the board has not been such
as to impress the people very forcibly
with its financial ability. and the ques-
ton row is whether the people have
confidence enough in that body to turn
over to them over 100000 to he expend-
ed by them without check of any kind.
The Herald believes that the people ar.
not prepared to do anything of the kind.
and the board will have to make better
showing in the future than in the past
as to the crying necessities Of additional
school facilities before the bonds will
be voted
