Home, founded by the late W. W. Cor
coran as a memorial to his wife and
daughter. 1t is a remarkable institu.
ton Of it's kind, and its occupants, all
of whom come from the aristocratic
class in the South, are treated more as
boarders than as dependents, but, no
matter how pleasant the environment
it is still sad that a woman who at one
period of her life occupied the position
of the first lady in the land should
spend her last days an object of char.
ity.
When Mrs. Semple presided In the
White House the demands upon her
were heavy. Three days in the week
were devoted to the reception of visit
ors, and three more devoted to the re.
turning of calls. Mrs. Semple had the
honor Of christening the first iron ship
which was propelled by steam in the
American navy, the Allegheny. When
her fortune was swept away she estab
lished an electric institute in Baltimore
and presided over it eleven years, when
ill-health compelled her to accept the
hospitality of the Louise Home. Dur
ing the war she aided in the establish
ment Of hospitals for the sick and
wounded in the South, and her jewelry
was donated to the fund for the pur
chase of food and clothing for the
Southern army.

The surprising news comes from que
bee that the Plains of Abraham have
been surveyed for building lots, and
that already nine streets have been
laid out across them. It is added, and
citation in Canada has protested
against the dissertation. The land ought
to have been purchased long ago by the
Government, which has preserved the
famous site so far through the pay
ment of a small rental. It was a case
in which there was no need to take any
risks, and there would never have been
any doubt about the desirability Of
maintaining the grounds as near as
might be in their original condition.
Nowhere on this continent is there a
place Of greater historical interest or
one that explains and re-enforces SO
clearly what is told on the historic
page. With brief outline Of the facts
in his mind the writer can himself fill
in the details. Going to the ramparts
above he realizes at once the desperate
nature of Wolfe's enterprise. The COM
manding position of the upper town
seems to preclude the very idea Of an
attack from any point higher up on the
river. No book makes it SO convincing
~ evident why the French were con-
tent with a careless guard upon the
Plains. Then a walk out Of the city
and across the very grounds to the spot
where the indomitable redcOats ap-
peared intensifies the first impression.
Horatius at the bridge in the brave
days Of old had no heavier task than
did those Englishmen. The steep
banks towering over the river are for
midable enough to the curious traveller
who carries neither arms nor ammuni-
ton, and has no foe to fear. 1t looks
as though one proper man might stop
host in that perilous path. That an
army could reach the summit seems
fairly incredible. But interest does not
cease there at the brink. A superior
force was to be met and conquered on
the Plains, and every foot Of way
thrills the nerves and appeals to the
Imagination. The disposition Of the
troops can be readily figured out, and
the whole course Of the battle can be
closely followed till the supreme mo-
ment, when Wolfe fell and the shout Of
victory was borne on his ears as the
routed French fed pell-mell for the
city. From any but the numerical
standpoint the battle was one of the
most important in history. 1t deter
mined not only the fate Of Canada, but
that Of the whole Northwest, and all
the inheritors Of British institutions In
the region Of the great lakes are It's
beneficiaries. So much the Plains Of
Abraham stand for, and they should
remain to tell their story to the end Of
time.

BIRDS WE SHOOT.
The Partridge a Mixture of Nervous
ness and Courage.

The Partridge a Mixture of Nervous
ness and Courage.
The partridge is singular combina-
ton Of nervousness and courage. It's
natural fear of mankind and its inces-
SAINT dread Of the assaults Of such
blood-thirsty enemies as stoats, Weas-
els. foxes and hawks are, OF course,
well known. Yet few creatures are
more truly courageous. During the
pairing season the male partridge IS
one of the most pugnacious and deter
mined of all birds, and the courage and
devotion shown by both the parent
birds in defense Of their young is, IN
it's way, almost unequaled.
why does the partridge tower? That
is a question once holly debated, but
now set completely at rest. A tower
ing bird has been SO hit that it suffers
from an escape Of blood into the lungs
or windpipe. 1t chokes, and In Its pit
eous desire for air flies upward and
upward until it can fly no higher. Then
it falls, rocket-like, to earth, and IS
found stone dead, usually on Its back.
In spite Of the coddling with which
the modern pheasant is so unduly sur
rounded, its natural instincts Of wild
ness and suspicion are so deeply I'M
planted that few days of roaming in
woodland and covert suffice to render
the hen-reared bird almost as truly
feral as it's wild-bred congeners. A
curious instance of the strange ner-
yousness Of the pheasant happened
many years ago $3.50 in the south Of
England. When the terrible gun
powder explosion in March of that year
occurred at Curtis & Harvey's mills at
Hounslow, the dull shock and concus-

DEATH OFADESERTER
THE TRAGIC RETRlBuTION THAT
CAME TO CORPORAL HAZE.
Onacer In a California Regiment Be-
comes Madly infatuated with Fill
pino Maid, and La Killed While
Fighting In Rev Il Ranks.

When the news came that the First
was going to the front California went
half crazy with pride and patriotic
frenzy. The men Of the First were IKE
madmen in their enthusiastic delight.
They grabbed each other around the
shoulders and did wild war dances.
They sang, they shouted, they laughed
and some Of them cried. And Corporal
Henry Haze danced, and sang, ana
shouted, and laughed, and cried with
the best Of them. When the ship went
down the blue bay and past the island,
past the Cliff house, black with peo-
Die, and out through the Golden gate
into the Pacific, Henry Haze stood on
deck with his comrades. He lifted MS
cap. 'Boys," he said, "we'H make Call
fornia proud Of u.s."
Corporal Haze reached Manila with
the command. Good soldier. well Skill
ed in arms he had been lifted from the
ranks to command a squad. Manila IS
a strange town, strange even TO the
world wanderer, Corporal Haze. Many
kinds of women are there, japanese,
Spanish, French, Malay. There was
more. There was one who was part
native, part Spanish, part French. she
was neither yellow nor black nor white
she was brown, like a shining brown
leaf in autumn, and she ffirted with
the eyes, like the Spaniard, and with
the fan, like the Japanese.
1t wasn't long until Corporal Haze
was only at the camp at duty hours.
When tae men Of the First got around
and grumbled at the climate and found
fault with the rations and wondered
how long they were going to be Gagged
up there to stare at the moon, Corporal
Haze was never there. Then came
great news. The general wanted volun-
teers to 20 to Iloilo. D company was
going. Every man who was going sang
at his packing and every man who was
not going sat about and grumbled be-
cause he could not go. All but Cor
poral Haze. He turned as white as
death when he heard about Iloilo.
Some of the men looked at him anxious
" and one of them began to whistle
1.-THE Girl I Left Behind Me" in the
doleful time Of a dead march. Cor
poral Haze turned and looked at the
man and his eyes were like the eyes of
a maddened tiger. The tune died ond
the whistler's lips.
On the Sd of January, 1899, company
D of the First Regiment Of California
Volunteers embarked, among other
companies, from Manila on transport
bound for Iloilo. When the transport
was ready to sail it was discovered
that Corporal Haze Of company D was
not in his accustomed place. Search
was made for him. He could not be

found. The transport was delayed
while corporaPs guard went ashore to
extend the search.
The troopship sailed without Corpor-
al Haze, and the soldiers that stayed at
Manila spent all their spare time try
ing to get news of the deserter and to
find him and to bring him into camp
and to blindfold him and to shoot him
for a coward and disgrace to his uni
form and to the country. But they
never found him.
The soldiers who stayed at Manila
began to be busy. There were riots and
rumors of riots. And one day the Fill
pinos came out of the swamps and
swooped down on the American lines.
The California First was in the thick
Of the fight. The regiment went whoop-
ing and cheering into its first charge.
sHurrah for Gods country, boys"
shouted a beardless boy of lieuten-
ant.
"Giye 'em taste of. California shoot
ing" yelled little pink-faced captain.
The Filipinos scattered like chaf be-
fore the wind. But the Californians
found them lying dead in rows and
huddled heaps. There they found a
white man in a pool of water. He had
led the charge. He wore ragged uni
form of lieutenant Of the Filipinos.
One OF the Americans stopped to look
at him. The white man opened his
eyes and tried to sit up. Something

In foolish gesture.

MULES ON THE BALCONY.
Ludicrous Incident that Did Not
Amuse the Owner.

1udicrOus Incident that Did Not
Amuse the Owner.
In the old days when mules were
plentifully bred in Kentucky, and
taken thence for sale to the plantation
States, they went forth in droves, com
monty under the leadership Of a bell
mare, preferably white in color. In
the course of few hours the mules
would know their leader. and follow
her with so little trouble that two men
could conduct drove of several hun
dred. Nevertheless, if the foremost
mule turned aside, all the others would
blindly follow her like q flock of
sheep. II recall an amusing instance
of this 'follow-my-lead motive" says
Prof. N. S. Shaler in demonstrated
Animals"
Engaged in survey work in Southern
Kentucky, was passing along quiet
road when in the distance heard a
thunder Of hoofs, and in moment saw
great drove Of mules, the appointed
leader of which, man on a white
horse, had fallen to the rear Of the col
umn. The creatures. thinking it their
duty to overtake the missing master,
were going on the full run.
Needing the shouts Of the troubled
herder, turned my wagon across the
road, which, being at that point very
narrow, was effectually barricaded by
the vehicle. Although the rush was so
wild that the brutes nearly overset my
''outft," they were brought to a full
stop.
Unhappily, on one side Of the road
and one hundred feet from it was a
comfortably built Southern house, with
a broad gallery extending along the
front, while in the door of the man.
sion were some women whose atten-
ton had been attracted by the tumult.
No sooner had the mob of mules been
brought to stage of surging quiet,
than one of the creatures jumped the
picket fence, and started for the open
house door.
In much less time than ii takes to tell
1t, hundred or more mules were on
the gallery, the floor of which gave
way beneath their weight; they quick
" broke down the columns which sup
ported the roof. SO that the whole
structure at once became heap Of

We sometimes speak Of this as q
skeptical age, and laugh hugely over
the stories of medieval charlatans who
bamboozed the public, but it Is doubt
full whether the era Of Jernegan, OF
Hooley and the Keely motor has any
reason to boast of its sagacity. 1t is
safe to say that If there were any
money in squaring the circle the proc
ess would be the basis of a stock COM
pany to-day. 1t is rather curious In
deed to see how the world has moved
from its incredulous position Of fifty
years ago. Science is sometimes spoken
Of as unsettling belief; 1t is just to say
that it has shaken the foundations OF
unbe1ief. twenty-five years ago the
idea of flying machine was invariably
ridiculed; its eternal impossibility was
regarded as demonstrated. To-day vast
fortunes are being spent in the effort
to make practicable airship. Then
the medieval notion Of the transmission
of metals would have been scoffed at
by the most ignorant. Now Professor
Emmens has merely to cite few mys-
terious chemical "analogies" and put
his claims in the Sunday papers to find
thousands of fairly well-educated read
ers ready to believe that silver has been
made into gold. A process for extract
ing gold from sea water was no less en-
ticing, and, on the whole, the time
seems ripe for carrying out DR.. Swift's
project for extracting sunshine from
cucumbers. In the popular mind there
is a sort Of awe Of the astonishing
achievements of recent science and a
difficulty in drawing the line between
the possible and the impossible. If we
can see through opaque bodies, hear
music across the continent, bottle up
the voices Of our dear friends, tele-
graph without wires and light rooms
without visible connections why not
make things go Of themselves?

The Philadelphia Record makes the

In official and unofficial reports con-

Of the parties putting up or vending

what the people want more than any

How 60 Make a Teiephone.

Procure a couple of empty cocoa tins,
knock out the bottom of each, and you
will then. Of course, have left two tin
tubes. Next glue a piece of cartridge
paper over the mouth of one side of
each of your tubes, taking care to
stretch the paper tightly over the open
ing. Make small hole in the center
of each piece Of paper, take piece Of
string of whatever length you care to
have it, and then pass one end through
each hole, afterwards making couple
of knots at each end of the string so as
to prevent the latter from coming out
of the holes.
This done, your telephone is complete
and quite ready for use. The persons
who are to converse with one another
each take hold of tube and stretch the
string quite taut. The one who intends
speaking first merely puts the tube to
his mouth and speaks into it, while the
other person places the opposite tube to
his ear. A conversation can be carried
on in this manner In whisper even at
a distance of hundred feet.
