THE LITTLE TITMOUSE.
One Free Bird Attracts Attention
Among Hundreds of Captiyes.

In big bird store where there are
hundreds of birds of many kinds inces-
sanity squawking, chirping, and sing
ing, there is one that is free-a tiny
titmouse. 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
perches on a gas fixture in the window,
and to that it comes back from its vari-
Gus excursions by day.
Customers that come in to buy birds
and bird cages 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 his
one as it darts about, free among so
many captiyes, and they are likely TO
smile at it, they are so pleased with it.
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 gaspipe perch and
perks its head this way and that and
looks about. Sometimes it whets its
bealS on the gaspipe. Every now and
then it dashes off somewhere. If il

PILGRIMS AT THE JORDAN.
Russian Peasantry Manifest Their
Strong Faith.

The Russian peasantry have strong
belief in the sacred properties of the
waters of the Jordan, Nothing but
Jordan water must be used for bap-
tism, and to be buried in shrouds which
have been made from linen which has
been dipped in the Jordan, or, still bet
ter, in which the water has bathed in the
Jordan, is extremely desirable.
So strong is this feeling that an an
nual exodus of pilgrims sets out for
Palestine. Hospices have been built
throughout Russia, and at Jerusalem,
where the pilgrims have free accom-
mediation for a period not exceeding
10 months. They walk from all parts OIL
Russia. some of them even as far as the
White sea, to Odessa, where they take
steamer for Jaffa; thence on to Jeru-
salem. where they wait until the Satur-
day before Epiphany. On that day both
men and women walk in thousands
down the 20 miles of continually de-
scending road to Jericho; where they
eneamp fer the night.
On the Sunday the whole troop,
headed by their bishop, go ON to the
Jordan. and after the bishop has blessed
the waters they fill bottles, tin kettles,
and, in fact, any available vessel with
Jordan water, and most of them, men
and women alike, taking no notice
whatever of the thousands of Arabs
Jews, Greeks, Mahometans, and even
English and American tourists with
cameras, who are there, calmly divest
themselves of clothing, and, putting on
their shrouds and crossing themselves
three times, stumble plaeidly down the
muddy river banks into the cold waters
OF the Jordan.
There is a strong contrast between
the broad, simple. honest-lookng coun-
tenances of the Russian and the keen
and crafty faces of the willy Arabs by
whom they are surrounded. There is
surprise and pleasure in hearing for
the first time the sweet and tuneful
voices with which the pilgrims reverent-
w chant their service, each taking his
or her own part and producing a weird
and beautiful melody which will long
dwell in the memory of those who hear
il.
The pilgrims cross the Brook Gherith,
memorable as the spot where Elijah
was fed by the ravens. Arabs, with
view to the main chance, provide
plank, for the use of which toll is de-
manded. One can readily realize with
what look of disgust he sees many Of
the pilgrims wade rather than pay his
toll.
Pilgrims may be seen erowding to the
river bank after the blessing of the wa
ter to collect water for baptisms, dip
ping new liren, which will afterward be
made into shrouds, into the Jordan, and
bathing in the shrouds that have been
epared.-London Graphic.

BEARDED WOMEN NUMEROUS.
There Are, 1t Is Said, Thousands of
Them in London.


Them in London.
The free advertising given by Eng
fish newspapers to the bearded woman,
who is prominent among the freaks
now being exhibited in London by a
great American circus, has brought to
light the fact that the menagerie lady
enjoys a monopoly in her line only
through the courtesy of many British
women who could rival her, though pos
sibly not to the same degree. Cases OF
superfuous hair on the female face
run into the thousands, according to
the most prominent of London special
lists engaged in remedying this form of
affection.
"In the course of my experience,
stretching over the last seven years"
said he, II have met with some 10000
cases. During the past year | gave no
fewer than 1900 sittings for electricity
sis, removing at each sitting from 40
to 50 hairs, and during the year 1896
800 sittings, so | am convinced the
trouble is distinctly increasing. ] have
had cases in which removed as many
as $4,000 hairs from one lady's face, but,
of course, bearded ladies. except when
! they make money out of their disfig-
III ement, take every possible means to
conceal the nature OF their trouble.
One lady l have cured, and who has
now gone abroad to enjoy herself, had
not for five years previously seen even
any member of her own family, and She
could never go into the street without
being ieered at.
~ have had two cases of suicidal
mania brought to me by their keepers.
In each case the family considered that
the mind of the patient had become un-
hinged by the terrible distress of the
Disagreement of superfluous hair.
One believed that her trouble was the
punishment of an imaginary crime
but she entirely recovered as soon as
the growth was removed, and is now,
four years later, happy wife and
mother. The oth@r, soon after | com
pleted her treatment, wrote to me to
say that she was engaged to be married,
and as have heard nothing further of
the Gaze / presume she went on salts
factorily. Both of these were eXcep-
tionally handsome women"

THE PARLOT.
Room in Which There SHOULD he
Comfort.

Comfort.
\ vast amount of unlhappiness in this
world isscaused by contrasting our cir
cumstanees and surroundings with
those of our neighbors and attempting
to live up to what we believe they ex-
oect of us. Most persons would find
that they finally commanded the re-
speet of the most critical, If they showed
perfect independence and made their
house as attractive and comfortable for
themselves as they could, without re-
gard to the opinion of others. The par
lor is the room in the house on which
the greater part of the money spent
in furnishing is often expended, ana IL
is the room of least value TO the house
hold.
1t has been proposed boldly to do
away with this room. In some cases
This is the best plan, but in families
where there are few or no servants,
and many children, the parlor is nee
essarv room. In a house where maid
keeps every room busted and swept and
there are no children to invade the sit
ting-room with their books and play
things, this room may take the place OF
the parlor. The tired mother, however,
whose powers are limited, cannot al
ways keep this room in the perfect or
der she desires. A parlor is room OF
refuge, because it is kept shut up from
small but dusty footprints, and the all
invading disorder caused by continual
use, which, in spite of her best efforts,
must occasionally penetrate into the sit
ting-room. Literally the parlor means a
room for talk. 1t was formerly the re-
ception room of the convent, where the
nuns met occasionally for talk or par
lance. Itisa room that can be set apart
and easily kept well swept and busted,
and always neat, even when all the
work is done by one pair of'hands, be-
cause it is not in continual use, like the
sitting-room.
It is mistake to spend much money
on this room, simply because Mrs,
Smith or Mrs. Jones does. Reserve the
best pictures for the sitting-room,
where the family can enjoy them every
day. Put the most comfortable chairs
in the sittng-room. Furnish the par
lor neatly and daintily, without much
expenditure. 1t does not require such
strong, durable furniture as THE sitting
room. More delicate colors can be used,
and less expensive materials may be
employed because there is less wear.
a simple, dainty little room of this kind
In which one may listen to the chat
of the casual visitor is a great assist
ance and relief to the working mother,

| does not care to receive in the sitting
room. The confusion that may have
| taken possession of that room becomes a
| double source of annoyance when it Is
observed by women whom She knows
are not always charitable in their judg-
ment. 1t is impossible that the sitting
room in family where it is the play
room of the children, the gathering
room of the family, and subject to the
general wear and tear of such room
should always be in order. 1t is often
akin to wearing ones heart upon ones
sleeve for DAVIS to pick at" to take some
visitors into such a disordered ROOM
