The formalities preceding marriage
in France, which have hitherto been
of a formidable character, have been
modified no doubt in view OF the
dwindling population of the republic.
Men over 25 and women over 81 can
now be united without the consent of
their parents, after presenting a single
respectful notification of their intent,
and waiting one month before pro-

Marks bedroom, now vacant. Here, the
nurse told me, should find coffee and
light refreshments. A drawn portiere
hung between the rooms, but the door
was open, and a lamp burned brightly
upon Marks table, furnishing sufficient
light for the room beyond, where Bur
lington lay. The nurse warned me to
leave this lamp where it was: too much
light, he said, was bad for his patient.

bed, with my back to the portiere and

He sighed.

upstairs. Community of suffering, ac-

WINTER BIRD LIFE.
Three Feathered Friends That Stick
Together.


Together.
On a winter morning when one has
been vainly listening for some sign of
life, what a welcome sound is the tap
ping of woodpecker! Doubtless it is
a downy eXcavating his breakfast of
larvae, and we follow his 'tap-tapping
just for the satisfaction of seeing the
black and white fellow at work; or
he may be repairing his winter quarters,
for he fashions home in which to pass
the colder months as well as one in
which to nest. The male has red band
across the nape; in the female this
mark is white.
The hairy woodpecker is as a rule
less common than the downy in the
eastern states. He may be known chief
~ by his larger size, the downy measur-
ing ga inches in length while the hairy
is about 21s inches longer.
With the downy we may often find
associated, in the winter, another climb
ing bird, the white-breasted unthatch.
Seen creeping over tree trunks, he has
at first glance the appearance of a
woodpecker, but closer observation will
show that he differs in many points,
the most striking of which is that he
climbs downward as well as upward
and that he does not use his tail as
support. The tail-feathers, therefore,
instead of being stiffened and pointed
at the end are soft and rounded. The
whfte-breast's mode of progression,
black cap, blue-gray back, white cheeks,
and characteristic note of yark yank
combine to render his Identification
both easy and certain.
If one finds the downy and white.
breast in partnership it is quite proba-
BILE that a third member of the firm
is the chickadee. During the winter
these three birds seem to have some
thing in common which draws them
together. Perhaps it may be feeling
of loneliness which prompts them to
seek each others companiCrship. How
ever, they seem to be on the best of
terms, and one of the pleasantest eX-
pePiences of a midwinter stroll is to
encounter this trio. The chickadee will
doubtless announce himself in perfectly
ineligible English, and to the usual
chick-a-dee notes.-Frank NJ. Chapman,

THE BOVEIANDERs OF GUIANA.
A Strange Product of Dutch and In
dian Races.

There is in Guiana a class Of inhabi-
tants who dwell along the central and
lower reaches of the great rivers, al
though they penetrate to considerable
distances into the interior, and have,
in fact, made the whole region between
the Essequibo and OrinOco their own.
These are the 'Boveianders," a half
breed race descended from the inter
marriage of the old Dutch settlers with
the aboriginal women. There are also
black Boveianders, who are descended
from the admiXture of Indians with the
runaway negroes who fled to the wilder
ness in the days of slavery. In color
the Boveianders of Dutch extraction
are of a light-brown yellow, somewhat
fairer than mulattos, and having a
strong European. cast of countenance.
They are well formed and generally good
looking; those of negro strain are of a
dirty reddish-black, somewhat fiat
featured, and ugly. In habit and man
ner the white is tidy, clean, pleasant,
and attractive; the black slOvenly. foul,
sycophantic and repulsive. Their Ian
guage is English. but so full of Indian
and Dutch idioms and variations as to
be something of a Volapuk.
The customs of the white Boveiander,
like his language, are combination of
savagery and civilization. Socially as
well as ethnologically, the European
and Indian meet in his personality.
Prior to the discovery of gold in the
northwest territory, these people were
little known in the colony except to the
government and among the wood-trad-
ers, their chief industry being wood
cutting. AS boatmen they are in their
own way to be classed among the most
expert in the world, combining with
the unerring instinct of the Indian the
superior intelligence and calm iutre-
pidity of their Dutch ancestry. Of late
years they have been brought more in
touch with the colonists, and already
an interesting change has been
wrought in their life.-Chambers' Jour

BIRD SONGS.
One of the Pleasures offered Us by
Nature.

One OF the treasures OmeFed Us by
Nature.
1t is pleasant to idle away an occa-
sional hour during the spring or sum-
mer, enjoying the fresh, fragrance-laden
air and the greensward, with it's dots
or splashes of color, and drinking in
the mingled chorus of songs and calls
of the many other sounds that pervade
the place. 1t is pleasant to allow these
variable agreeable sensations to form
a harmonious background to dreamy
reverie.
But when, instead of permitting them
to remain a mere mass-a collective
noun, as it were - one separates
each Individual from its fellows,
learns to know the color which
each flower lends to the scene,
the note which each bird contrib
utes to the chorus-then is felt the
truest, deepest and most intense en-
jOyment of the bountiful feast which
nature offers to the senses. Each flow
er, each bird, is a friend; and about
each are clustered the many pleasant
associations that friendship brings.
That clear, ringing melody from the
:opse is not merely pretty song; it is
the rich voice of our old friend the
Carolina wren, whose cherry note, ac-
companied by the pure, cool breeze of
early morning, has so often brought
matin greetings through the open win
dow. That beautiful song of two ci7ar,
rather plaintive notes is DO longer TN
undistinguished part of a general
chorus in the chickadee's song, which
has 50 many times broken the long
silence of winter and told us of th4
coming spring, even amid snow covered
fields and icicle-pointed trees.
The memory is stored with reminie-
cences of former scenes and SURROUND
ings; with details of the habits and
appearance of the singers: with Incl
dents of their courtship, their rivalries,
their house building, their parental
cares and anxieties; with their social
travels to other lands. And these are
al stirred to life to a greater or less
degree by the sound of their Voices

It's a little cot

It's a little cot
In little spot
With little heaven here sent,
An her hand in mine
In rain or shine,
An I'm goin' my way content.
I'm goin' my way content.
With the blue skies over me bent;
an the world is right, an the world is
wrong,
ss't my heart keeps singin' thankful
song.
It's a little way
From that cot each day
In the toilin' world 1 roam:
But the whole day long
That sweet heart-song,
And kiss when the stars sing: "Home!"
A kiss for welcome home,
When the bees are hid in the comb:
An the world is right an the world Is
But Love keeps singin' the same sweet
song.
The same sweet song
Where the toilers throng
An the skies are cold an gray;
For hear the beat
OF her heart so sweet,
Calm me-far away!
CALM me-far away
To the blooms an the bells o. May;
An the world is right, an the world is
wrong,
But the heart keeps singin' that same
sweet song.
An the little cot
In the little spot
Is dearer than domes that rise:
For the day is bright
An the moon is light
With the love in woman's eyes
With the love in a woman's eyes
A love that never dies:
An the world is right, an the world is
wrong,
But Love keeps singin' the same sweet
song.

The Functions of Hairs.

DIR. Exner, in the Vienna KlinisChs
Wochenschrift, says: "As to the physi-
illogical functions of hairs, it is admit
ted that they are modified sense organs,
which have lost all connection with the
nerves" Certain hairs serve as organs
of touch. The bulbs of the eyelashes
are surrounded by network of nerve
fibers, and in a less degree the eye
brows. Both serve 10 protect the eyes.
Being sensitive, they give warning of
danger. The eyelashes keep out dust.
The hair of animals serves to maintain
and regulate the heat of the body, but
in man the scalp alone serves this pr
pose.

Plants Which Give Light.

There are a number of plants and
flowers which give out a phosphores-
cent light in the dark. Linnaeus first
noticed this phenomenon in the COM
mon nasturtium, whose flowers seemed
TO him to have faint iridescence at
night. Later observations by others
showed that the light was stronger
after very sunny days. Among other
plants which possess this singular
property are the marsh lily and the
fraxinella. The last named secretes a
volatile oil which oozes out during hot
weather, spreads in thin layer over
the flowers, and forms a vapor which
becomes luminous in the darkness. In
