shipping merchants, whose connections

abled him to get much valuable news,
and being acquainted with the gentle
man. asked If there was anything new
"NVhy yes" said the merchant There's

been assassinated, and war with Chile

Is Dreyfus Insane and Dying.

(New York Mail and Express)
The report circulated I'm Paris that the
unfortunate Dreyfus has attempted sui
eide, that his guard has been strengthen
ed in consequence, that he has been
placed in chains, and that he is on the
verge Of total collapse, mentally and
physically, is probably without founda-
tlon, so far as direct information is
concerned. In view OF recent events,
1t is altogether unlikely that the French
Government would permit news Of this
sort from Devils Island 10 reach the
outer world. Publicity would be an in
vitation to renewed agitation Of the most
dangerous character. The first authentic
statement TO the world from the living
grave of Dreyfus Will probably be that
the hapless convict is actually dead.
The story current In Paris is, as We
have said. probably without warrant
due. possibly, TO a desperate effort on the
part of friends to awaken some spark OF
pity i'm hearts apparently turned TO stone
through an insane fear OF the national
consequence that might follow an eXer-
else of justice and mercy. Yet ina gina
ton can easily paint picture on this
island of misery not less shocking than
is alleged by the cable report The stu
alton OF Dreyfus can scarcely be less
desperate. Therefore, the story, even If
without basis is probably true reflec-
ton OF facts.

ingenuity can tNtttu III torture LDaL OF

How the scotch and Irish Delight In

Will sing It's song sitting on biz of turf
In the bottom of the cage; but you want
TO stop your ears, il is so harsh and sbi-
liant and penetrating. But up there
against the morning sky and above the
wide eXpanse of fields, what delight we
have in II! 1t is not the concord of sweet
sounds; IL is the soaring spirit of gladness
and ecstacy raining down upon us from
Heavens gate" Then, 10 the time and
place. if one could only add the associa-
non, or hear the bird through the vista
Df the years the song touched with the
magic OF youthful memoriesl
A number OF years ago a friend i'm Eng
land sent me a score of skylarks in a
cage. i gave them their liberty in a field
near my place. They drifted away and
never heard or saw them again. But one
Sunday a Scotchman from a neighboring
city called upon me, and declared with
visible excitement that on his way along
the road he had heard a skylark lie was
not dreaming; he knew ii was a skylark,
though he had not heard one since he had
a century or more before. What pleasure
II gave him! How much more the song
meant 10 him than IL would have meant
10 me For the moment he was on his
native heath again Then ] told him
about the larks l had liberated. and he
seemed TO enjoy it all over again with
renewed appreciation.
Many years ago some skyarks were
liberated on Long Island, and they be-
came established there. and may now
occasionally be heard in certain locali-
ties. One summer day a friend Of mine
was out there observing them. a ark
was soaring and singing in the sky above
him. An old Irishman came along ana
suddenly stopped as If transfiXed to The
spot . A look OF mingled delight and in
credulity came into his face Was he in
deed hearing the bird OF his youth? He
took off his hat. turned his face sky
ward, and with moving lips and stream
ing eyes stood a long time regarding the
bird "Ah" my friend thought, III /
could only hear that song with his ears!"
How Il brought back his youth and all
those long gone days on his native hills!
The power of bird-songs over us is so
much a matter of association. Hence 1t
Is that every traveller to other countries
finds the feathered songsters " less
merit than those he left behind. The
traveller does not hear the birds in the
same receptive. uncritical frame OF mind
AS does the native. They are not in the
same way the voices Of the place and
