from different kinds of nuts. The al

THE LITTLE TITMOUsE.
One Free Bird That Attracts Astenaion
 Among Hundreds of Captiyes.

One Free Bird That Attracts Attention
 Among Hundreds of Captiyes.
 In a big bird store where there are hundreds of birds of many kinds inCes- sanity squawking, ohirping and singing there is one that is free-a tiny tit mouse. The window is full of cages containing birds of various sorts, and one side of the store is lined with bird- cages stacked up high all along. But there is none that attracts so much at. tention as the little titmouse fitting about the store at will. At night it perehes on e gas fixture in the window, and to that it comes back from it's vari- ous excursions by day.
 Customere that come in to buy birds and birdcagtd and bird seed and one thing and another never fail to notice the titmouse. They may not notice an other bird there individually, but their attention is sure to be attracted by thiE one as it darts about, free among so many captives, and they are likely to smile at it, they are so pleased with ib. And sometimes children, looking in at the windows of the bird store, come in to tell the clerk that one of the birds has got loose.
 When it has nothing else to do, the titmouse sits on its gas pipe perch and perks its head this way and that and looks about Sometimes it whets it's beak on the gas pipe. Every now and then 1t dashes off somewhere. If it wants a drink, 1t perehes on the rim of 9 goldfish globe-fc- home aquariums and stock for them are sold here as we'll as birds-no doubt to the great surprise of the goldfshes and certainly to that of the human beholders, who wonder that it doesn't fall in, it has to bend over so far to reach the water. But it gets it, and when it has taken it's fill 1t flashes back to it's perch oB the pipe in the window.
 The titmouse catches spiders and oth- CT insects, and it feeds in the larger cages when 1t will. It goes in and out of them between the bars with perfect ease. It is very little bird, even with its plumage in it's natural form. With its feathers pressed against it's sides it can get through very narrow space between the bars of a parrots cage, for example-with ease. There are in the window 8 number of parrots cages in 8 TOW. The titmouse almost flies through these cages, stopping in each perhaps to sat of the parrots food, but they never molest it. Parrots that would bite at the finger of a man who should put hia hand near enough to the outside of their cage stand back in fright or sheer amazement when the little titmouse dashes in and perches on their feed cup New York Sum

MAKE THE MEN MARKET
A Woman Writers Bold Suggestion te
 Help Weary Wives.


 There are few things that exhaust a woman more than a days shopping The average man looks upon a woman 8 purchasing day" ss one of pleasure but when he accompanies her on one of these shopping expeditions he goes home, after his patience has been all ez- hausted, with 8 different belief He learns, too, that 8 woman can endure vacations and disappointments with much more equanimity than he can and he mentally VOWS never to do 1t again
 The number of miles traversed is really what tires one, and it is little wonder that the woman who does the shopping for herself and her entire fam fly, as we'll as the marketing and the bargaining with the 'sbuteher and bak- CT and oandiestick maker, " should feel the need of rest for her tired nerves.
 The man of the house should always do the marketing In the old days when the butler WAS net the stately parsonage he is now, women were nev- er troubled with the worries of house. hold purchasing, for the head of the house did the entire buying and James" carried the parcels and was not ashamed to do it.
 No mother who has the care of little children should give the precious morn ing hours to anything else but tho nursery, nor should she let butchers and grooers' boys call for and deliver orders, because there is sure to be dis satisfaction if she does. Some wealthy families allow their chef to take charge o4 ne l. ehold. and he collects a large percentage from the tradesmen, which. of course is added to the monthly bill. Reputable storekeepers will not do this kind of business, however, and the chef patronage is controlled entirely by a few men, On the whole, it is much more satisfactory for the man of the house to do the marketing. He will get the best meat, have his orders promptly attended to and save about 25 per cent in the transaction, as we'll as the health of his wife. Chicago Times.Herald.

proveeASnA of the w@shar.
 Under the ~waptces Of the Peoples Enstltute of New York Henry WhisA general secretary of the United Gas. ment Workers, delivered an address rs- gently in which he said:
 Fifty years ego, when labor saving machinery was yet in It's infancy, the re- lations between employer and employee were quiet friendly. The functions of the employees were fraternal But now things are changed, and the breach be- tween the two classes seems to widen daily. The rich become richer and the poor poorer. Why is this? l. is because there are so many unemployed in the labor market who are forced to oon1. pete wt3h the employed, lowering wageE and spreading misery.
 Trades unionism is trying to root out Ehis evil which is menacing society by quiet but persistent agitation The im- provement of the condition of the mass es cannot be brought about by general uprising of the working class. The sal vation of suffering humanity Is a mat ter of evolution-slow, but sure. The trades union is the most powerful factor in this evolution
 If the number of the employed were reduced gradually, we should soon reach such a condition that there would be enough for everybody and all disoontent would disappear. We have innumerable statistics to show that if the people have the courage to grapple with tho question 8 general eight hour day could be established in few years. The eYo- lution would be Very gradual, but cer- tain. know it to be fact that if every workingman worked eight hours day and child labor is abolished every man in the country may have work enough to support his family deoently.
 Reforms could then be introduced which would have 8 reasonabl chance of being successful, because the people would then be intelligent enough to adopt them. 4 man working eight hours day has leisure enough to educate himself When the people are dull and stupid, like cattle, reforms have no ef- feet, They may be introduced by intel- ligent and energetic enthusiasts, but the seed which is sown falls on barren ground There isno response. Those for whom the reforms are intended are too dull to grasp their significance and value.
 Another evil, the tendency of which is to aggrayate the misery brought on by the vast hordes of the unemployed, is the tendency of the agrarian popula- tion to migrate to the eenters of popu. lation. More and more Iaborers from the farms come to the cities every year. The cities are already overcrowded, and these agricultural workmen bring star yation and suffering of every description in their train
 Work should be made more congeuiak to the agricultural laborer. His hours of labor should be reduced. Re should be treated like a man. and ho should be deoently paid. It is the imperative duty of our legislators 10 influence legislation An the direction of improving the condi- tion of the agrarian population. They would only be protecting the interests ef their constituents

The growth of the Protestant
churches in the United States shows no
dying OUT of Christianity as fools
and blinded enemies of the truth say.
The growth is healthy if numbers can
indicate it. The leading denomina-
tons show growth, some great growth.
In seventeen years the Roman Cath
olics have increased $500, 900 in popu-
2ation, or 81 per cent. The Protestants
do no count population but member
ship only. A Protestant body will have
three or four times as many adherents
as protesting believers. The Catholics
ar growing rapidly and to a consid-
cradle extent by foreign immigration.
Professionalism is by no manner Of
means On it's last legs. In seventeen
years it's net increase is $3.50, 900 COM
municants, or 70 per cent. Counting
its population the increase would be
hardly short of 20, 900, 900. The Pro-
f~estants do not count infants in their
returns. We wish We could write that
fnfidelity and general religious TOM
fooiery were all dying out" 1t would
he a great blessing if it were so to 'dy-
ing" humanity.
