BLOWN OUT TO SEA.
Helpless Birds That Are Driven to Deaf
by Fierce Gales.

Helpless Birds That Are Driven to Death
by Fierce Gales.
Birds driven before the wind are toss
cd about relentlessly, and they rarely
recover their balance after once being
caught by the gale Shore birds arc
either dashed upon the waves and made
to swim for their lives or they are hurl-
ed violently against trees or other OBJ
jects and killed Shore birds, when fac
Ing gale, will take every advantage Of
trees, houses and hills as defenses
against the wind. They Will close their
wings and sink so close to the ground
as to get the protecting shelter Of n
hedge fence, and then swoop up again
with renewed Roadway. They frequent
ly ADVANCE before the gale by series
of side evolutions, flying at right angles
to the wind until they have attained con-
siderable velocity, and then wheeling
about straight against the wind and
making some Roadway before it over
comes them. This operation is repeated
continually until the desired place Is
reached.
During QUIZ fall and early winter
gales cartridges and quail are quite fire.
quently blown out to sea by strong
hurricane. where some Of them have
been picked up by fishermen. In nearly
all such instances they are caught by
the gale when high In the air, and be-
fore they can recover themselves they
are hurried out beyond the shore and
dropped into the water. With their
plumage soaked with the spray they tn
stantly become helpless and cannot
reach the shore in the face Of the wind.
On our inland lakes and rivers this Is a
moro common sight than along the
ocean shore.
When once blown out to sea, the
shore birds have little chance Of escape.
Unable to battle against the heavy
wind, they yield themselves to their
fate and drift about until the storm
subsidies. BY that time they are likely
to be so far from shore that they cannot
reach 1t again, and they either fly or
swim until they starve to death or die
Of exhaustion. Their dead bodies, along
with those Of the hapless gulls, terms
and herons, are finally drifted upon
some shore, where the waves leave them
high and dry. After every heavy storm
hundreds of such luc!zless victims can
be found on the beaches of our Atlantic
coast. Our Animal Friends.

A Nice Spanish Plot.

st. Thomas, D. w. l., June 23.-United
States Consul Hanna, who was formerly
stationed at San Juan, has discovered q
typically Spanish plot perpetrated by
Governor Macias Of Porto Rico to muir
der the whole foreign colony of San
turce and embrol the United States in
a quarrel with the great European pow
ers. -'S'
Macias scheme was startling and
original in its aim at wholesale assas-
snation. He had placed four small
cannon on a height between Santurce
and the sea in such position that they
would inevitably attract the fire Of the
American warships when the capture Of
San Juan was undertaken.
Santurce is suburban section Of San
Juan. peopled almost exclusively by for
eigners. Fourteen consuls, including
the representatives Of all the great pow
ers, reside there. Macias' plan was to
cause wholesale slaughter during the
bombardment and thereby involve the
United States in tremendous foreign
complications because Of the shelling
without notification Of the practically
unfortified town of Santurce.

THE STAMP TAX.
That Section of War Revenue Act VIII
Temporarily Embarrass Business.

That Section of War Revenue Act VIII
Temporarily Embarrass Business.
Washington, June 23-Every possible
effort is being made by the secretary OF
the treasury to put into operation on
July the adhesive stamp tax section
of the war revenue act. 1t is not thought
possible, however, to have stamps on
sale in all parts of the country on that
date, and In consequence 1t Is expected
that Tor several days at least business
embarrassm win be many and in
some instances serious.
The law declares it shall be deemed q
misdemeanor not to aff1x stamp to
any bank check, note, draft, etc, pun
ishabe by a fine not exceeding 5000.
The law further declares that such I'M
stamped instrument, document or pa
per shall not be competent evidence in
any court-in fact, void.
It is believed that many embarrass-
ments and even losses cannot be avoid
ed; hence the secretary's request for a
postponement for Is days. Nevertheless
the force at the bureau Of engraving
and printing Is working every hour OF
the 81 to get out the stamps, and efforts
will be made to reduce to a minimum
embarrassments arising out of the new
law.
| About 900 stamps were shipped to
the Pacific coast today and other ship
ments will follow In rapid succession.
The stamps will be sent to collectors Of
internal revenue and by them distribut-
ed to the deputies. National banks in
each town will receive Geographic re-
quests to handle the stamps for the
benefit Of the public until other ar
engagements can b made for their dis
tYibution.
The low rate Of discount, per cent,
| allowed to persons purchasing stamps
| in quantities Of 500, It is believed, will
operate to make 1t difficult to secure a
sufficient number OF local agencies to
supply the public needs. but special ap-
peals will be made and the hope is ex-
pressed that there will be found In ev-
cry community a sufficient number of
public spirited citizens to undertake to
handle the stamps without proper COM

THE SMILE OF A CHILD.

Tho smile of child to a weary heart,
Like dew on the thirsty earth,
Is springipg we'll whence teardrops start
In flow Of Joy from living worth.
The smile Of child is q gift from heaven
Frightening the way Of toll;
Like golden clouds floating at even,
Bathing with beauty Gods flower gem
med soil;
Like incense as Its fragrance waves
And floats on the air the while
Meath richly sculptured architraves
Or thickly peopled aisle.
Give me knowledge give mo health,
But in grief and sorrow wild
Give mo the wealthiest known Of wealth
Tho artless smile Of child.

In Reaching Santiago.
OF Santiago de Cuba, June 23.-den-
eral Calixto Garcia Of the Cuban army
has visited Admiral Sampson on ooaro

second in command to Captain General
Blanco were marching in large BODY
to re-enforce the Spaniards at Santiago.
The insurgent troops under genera
Garcia's command are said to be 30 ols-
tributed as to cut off General Pandos

ion of his Cuban allies since their exhl-
bition Of courage in aiding the marines
to repulse the Spaniards. General Pie

McCalla by means of runners.
Perez says that the Spanish troops
| are In absolute control Of the territory
from Santiago eastward to Daikiri,
| about IS miles. Daikiri is on the coast
| and is the place where the smelling
| company's works, piers and mines are.
| From Daikiri eastward to Guantana-
mo, Perez says, the insurgents hold the
| country. Perez says that he has the
strictest orders to prevent the junction
of the Spanish troops at Guantanamo
and Santiago at all hazards He assured
| Commander McCalla that the forces
driven from Guantanamo and Caimane-
ra will not reach Santiago unless over
his dead body and those of every armed
