SEARCH FOR A SICK DER
A Young WOman's Devotion to Her
Brother and Hospital Scene.

"A Aouh8 "Oman'S Devotion to Her
Brother and Hospital Scene.
There came into Brooklyn hospital ono
DAY last week young woman who seemed IN
great mental distress. She told the hospita
authorities that she was looking for he1
;Drother, who was sick soldier, and of whom
all trace had been lost. The brother had gone
to Santiago, had become sick there and had
been taken to Montauk Point. From there he
had been sent to hospital in New York OF
Brooklyn, but no one could tell where.
The syoung woman and, her mother had
come from the far West on a search for the
soldier boy. They had spent several days at
Camp Wikof and found finally that he had
been sent to hospital in this city. Mother
and daughter came here, took lodgings and
went through all the hospitals, examining
ward after ward. The search was without
avail. They moved over to Brooklyn and there
the mother became SO exhausted and un-
nerved that the daughter continued the work
alone. When she came into the hospital she
said that she feared her brother was too Ill to
give his name or that he had been entered Oh
the books under wrong name. She scanned
the death list closely, after struggle with her
courage, and did not find her brothers name
Then, under proper guidance, she started
through the wards, peering into the face OF
every man. She went through them all and
IN an effort to control her disappointment and
to overcome her complete dispondcncy she
stepped over to a window overlooking yard
where dozen convalescent soldiers were sit
ting taking the air.
Perhaps he's among them" said he1
guide.
The young woman shook her head and stood
watching the soldiers, at the same time try
ing to keep back the tears. Suddenly she gave
a scream.
'"Theres Tom now!" she cried. GLOW car
get to him? Let me go at once!"
There were no stairs in sight and in her
excitement the young woman began to climb
out of the window. She was seized and taken
to doorway: She dashed out to the group
calling her brothers name again and again
They were in each others arms in a jiffy and
the soldiers Joined in the tears that were shed
all except one. After the young woman had
taken her brother off this one growled out:
II don't see why all you fellows had to CRY
because that girl found her brother. What
dye want to blubber for?"
"Ain't you got mother or a sister," asked
one of the group.
The man bit his lip and fairly shouted:
"Naw!"
The other soldiers turned their backs on hin
for the rest of the day. He felt it, however
and the next morning he said:
"Say, fellows, course I had mother.
didn't mean anything. I didn't want to give
way, that's all. 1t doesn't do man any good
was just trying to be soldier, that's all, ant
/"
Then that man broke down and soldierly
stoicism went to the winds.-New York Sun

A Destructive New Zealand Bird.

One of the strangest chapters in the natural
history of our times is the transformation Of
the kea, or mountain parrot, of New Zealand
from respectable vegetarian to rapacious
bird Of prey. 1t is utterly unknown in the
North island of New Zealand, but 1t is ter
rible pest in the South island, where.( on lat
est calculations, it kills 10000 sheep everv
year. It settles on the back Of the sheep at
the root of the tail, reaches forward, and with
it's powerful beak tears hole through the
side of the back, just over the kidneys. Hay
ing devoured the kidneys, it leaves its victim
to die, and Immediately attacks another in
the same way. It has been known to enter a
shepherds hut, tear the blankets to shreds,
smash the crockery, bend UP the gridiron. drill
holes in the frying pan, bite off the legs Of
chairs, and the knobs of cupboards, and then
bore it's way out through thick, wooden door.
TO hold kea in captivity is next to impossi-
BILE, but the experiment has Just been entered
upon at the Geological gardens, Melbourne.
A war Of exterminationis being waged against
the kea. New Zealand county officials give
shillings per head for every dead specimen
Of this destructive bird. -''-'.: -Sz

Congressman Samuel w. Mccall re-
turned from Washington last week, but
instead of starting away at once upon
an extended trip through Canada, as
had been his intention, he is devoting
nearly all his time to writing a life of
Thaddeus Stevens for Houghton, Milf
fin & Co.'s American statesman Sc
ries, the same to which Henry Cabot
Lodge, Theodore Roosevelt, Carl
Schurz, Moortield Storey, and other
distinguished men have contributed.
Unlike most Of the other personages
treated In this series, Stevens has re-
ceived little attention in extended bio
graphies, and Mr.. Mccall finds the path
OF research and discovery long one.
