BIRD SONGS.
One OF the Pleasures offered lis by
Nature.
[To DE Continued

One OF the Pleasures offered lis by
Nature.
1t is pleasant TO idle away an occa-
sional hour during the spring or sum
.mer enjoying the fresh, fragraHce-laden
air and the greensward, with its 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 mere mass-a collective
noun, as il were - one separates
each individual from its fellows,
learns to know the color which
each flower lends to The scene,
the note which ench bird contrib
utes to the chorus-then is felt the
truest, deepest and most intense en-
ioyment of the bountiful feast which
nature offers to the senses. Each flow
err, each bird, is 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; 1t 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 clear,
rather plaintive notes is 10 longer an
undistinguighed part of general
chorus in the chickadees song, which
has SO many times broken the long
silence of winter and told us of rte
coming spring, even amid snow covered
folds and icicle-pointed trees.
The memory is stored with rcminis-
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
uh stirred to life to Il greater or less
degree by the sound of their Voices

SAVANNAH, TENNESSEE, FRIDAY, MAY 6, 1898.

hung between the rooms, but the door

heavy disappointment to Demetrius,

sentence provoked the exclamation:

my child. I've had n hard life-plenty

greatest misery. Good night"
/ piticd him profoundly as / walked
upstairs. Community of suffering, ac-
cording to George Eliot, is the root of
pity; and, smarting beneath the knowl-
edge that Nancy could never be mine,
realizing that life without her would
prove saltless and sterile, l could put
myself in the place of Mark Gerard and
say with him, all is vanity.
What a paradox the man was! What
a bundle of contrast! He possessed in
many material respects mind of the
largest scope-and also Of the smallest
ii mind at once of the finest and
coarsest texture. His financial combin-
atoms had gained him an international
reputation. lie was known as one of
the pluckiest bulls in the stock ring.
He had the tenderest affection for his
son. But I knew him to be u sensualst
and poltroon. Perhaps he had the
moral equipment which in these latter
days proves the shield of success, the
aegis against which the sings and ar
rows Of debauched and unscrupulous
press rattle in vain.
The professional nurse assured me
that the patient had rested easily and
had taken a surprising amount of nour-
ishment. The slight symptoms of fever
had passed away, and the application Of
the liniments caused less pain. He lay
upon his back, eyes and mouth closed
senseless, apparently, to the outer
world. received careful instructions
rs to diet and massage, and then the
nurse left me.
The room was the one usually occu-
pied by Demetrius. 1t had two doors
and a window. One door communicated
with the passage, and the other with

The Functions OF Hairs.

DR.. Exner, in the Vienna Klinische
Wochcnscbrift, 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 a network of nerve
fibers, and in less degree the eye
brows. Both serve to 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 pu4~
pose.

schools. Each of the 466 districts has
an inspector, besides board Of direc-
tors. Children commence school at
the age of 10; from to 10 they receive
instruction at home from the parish
priest. Co-education has been most
successful in these schools. In Fin
land women share in all industries, and
are especially capable as teachers.
Both men and women teachers receive
careful instruction and preparation.
They are treated with the greatest def

the schoolroom; they exercise super
vision over the selection of books for
home reading, and during the summer
vacations they accompany the children
on excursions, giving them lessons

Ant Baths for Rheumattsm,

The taking of ant baths for rheuma-
tism by Russian peasants has been
long and successfully practiced, espe-
cially by those in the vicinity of Mos
cow. An ant hill being found, sack
is filed with ants and their eggs, and,
if it be considered necessary, a GER
tain quantity of the earth which COM
poses the HILL The sack is then
closed Theoretically and carried to the
home of the sufferer, where warm
bath being already prepared, the sack
is plunged bodily into the hot water.
In short time there begins to be
given off peculiar pungent odor char
acteristic of formic acid, and the bath
is now ready for the patients INNER
sion. The action Of the bath on the
patients skin is described as one of
intense irritation, the result seeming
to be a drawing out of the evil and
the consequent disappearance of the
rheumatic pains. Care is necessary in
resorting to this remedy to avoid re-
naming too long in the bath, as the
consequences might be a total disor-
ganization of the skin, which would
peel off, owing to the violent action Of
the acid.-London Post.

no Imitate sIronnd elias.

To avoid being overlooked it is often
necessary to cover the clear glass of a
window. Paper cut out in designs will
often prove sufficient protection, but
should some denser means of obscura-
ton be required proceed as follows:
Melt some clean gum arabic with hot
water to form very thick mucilage
and set the pot in which the mucilage
was melted at the back of the stove,
where it should remain all day and
night, so that the contents may practi-
cally stew. Next morning place the jar
in basin of hot water and mix into
the mucilage a quantity of epson salts
to approximate with the amount of
gum arabic originally melted. Stir I'M
til the salts are dissolved; then, still
leaving the jar in warm water, begin
to paint the mixture over the window
panes with a fiat camels hair brush.
Apply evenly, and as the gum dries a
crystalline appearance will be given to
the glass, which will make sufficient
protection against outside observation,
while it will in no degree darken the
