A Friend of the sparrows.

A philanthropic old lady who lives on
a small street below Morris for several
years past has fed daily a large number
of sparrows in the front entry of her
house. A great many of the little birds
hover about the house of their friend
and perch fearlessly on the steps and
window sills. The children and the
neighbors, strange to say, have the ut
most respect for the birds and take
great care never to interfere with them.
The old lady pays for the regular re-
moVal of her ashes and garbage. When
ever the ashman comes the sparroWs
are generally perched about on the
ledge Of the ash barrel, and the man
will not go near them until the old lady
comes to the door and calls them all in
side.
Recently an intruder in the shape of
a white owl came to the door, and there
was great excitement among the chill
dren of the neighborhood. They would
not touch it because they thought it
was new pet, but when the old lady's
attention was called to the owl she gave
the children icecream money to capture
it and take it away from the vicinity
so that her sparrows would not be dis
turbed.-Philadelph Record.

EYEhASHES REN WE'D BY
lRfN5J Ian IN4 HAIR

Transplanted eyelashes and eyebrows
are the latest things in the way of
personal adornment. Only the brave
and rich can patronize the new method
at present, for besides being painful and
costly, it takes a long time to accom-
plish it.
There is only one person in New York
who makes a speciality of the process,
but in Paris and London, where the
idea originated, there are specialists
who make handsome living out of the
process of transplanting hair from the
head to the eyebrows or eyelashes. The
specialist works by putting in, not on
the new eyelashes and broWs wherever
they are absent or grow thin, and so
cunning is he in his work that not even
the closest crutiny can detect any
difference.
BY means of the. new process, it is
said, eyes which are at ordinary times
only passable become languishing in
their expression, while eyes which were
previously considered fine have their
beauty much enhanced.
This is the way new eyelashes are
put in: An ordinary fine needle is
threaded with a long hair, generally
taken from the head of the person to
be operated upon. The lower border Of
the eyelid is then thoroughly cleaned
as painless as possible rubbed with d
solution of cocaine. The operator then
by few skillful touches runs his
needle through the extreme edges of
the eyelid between the epidermis and
the lower border of the cartilage of the
traguS. The needles passes in and out
along the edge of the lid, leaving its
hair thread in loops of carefully gradu-
ated length.
When this has been done another
and another length of hair is sewed
through the lid until finally there are
dozen or more loops projecting. By this
time the effect of the cocaine has been
lost and the operator is obliged to desist
and put off the further sewing Of hair
for another sitting.
The next step in the process is cutting
off and trimming the ends of the loops,
and the result is a fine, thick, long set
of eyelashes. 1t is the finishing touch
that is to come that makes them look
like natures own. When they are
first cut they stick out in the most
singular fashion, giving the person
operated upon the most uncanny look.
The operators next step is to take
curling tongs, made Of silver and no
larger than knitting needles, and to
give them the curve which is essential
to perfect beauty. Then the eyes are
carefully bandaged and kept so until
the following day.
Most of the hairs that have been
transplanted take root and grow, but
a few of them fall out and have to be
attended to. For the first month it is
necessary to curl the new eyelashes
every day, but after that they become
properly assmilated, and it is not
necessary to give them any further at
tention.
Eyebrows are doctored In the same
way, but there is not so much pain
associated with the process as in trans
planting eyelashes.

Sailor Hat Trimmings.

Whatever else may be said of the new
sailor hats, they cannot be accused OF
meagerness of variety in the arrangement
of the sashes and quills that seem to be
the only trimmings allowed for them.
Probably the simplest arrangement IS
the three inch wide Roman sash banded
around the hat and tied in a neat bow
on the left side. A little more ample than
this s a wide sash folded around the hat,
piled up high at the side and finished OF
with quills. The latter may be either
straight and stiff or soft and curled.
still more elaborate trimming Is that
in which two sashes are used. one OF
heavy silk goes on first, and then above it
is twisted one of null or chiffon. The
latter is sometimes made, by graceful
loopings, to form a cascade effect at the
back of the hat.
Decided contrasts of color are to be
found In most of the hats. For instance,
if the hat and sash are white, then the
two port quills, just starting up from the
soft white mass, are jet black. No flow
erS are seen on the sailor hat.

IMPERIAL BoDYGUARD.
An Institution That Died With the
Second French Empire.

The Cent Gardes foundered with the
second empire in 1870. The corps dat
ed from the time of the Crlmean war.
when a visit from Queen Victoria was
expected. The tallest and finest look
ing men and officers were Sc
lected from the cavalry. There
We're 137 of the former and
eleven of the latter. but the num-
Der of the men was increased to 20S
Their function was purely decorative
and they chiefly served within the pal
ace. What swells the officers were in
their sky-blue uniform bedight with
golden lace! The corps had regulations
of their own. They were on no account,
when on duty, to stir unless to salute
the Emperor or Empress. and only then
when specially ordered. The worst
breach of discipline would have been to
forget they were to be motionless as
caryatides.
One day Marshal Castellane. a vain
old peppery parsonage, had occasion to
see the Emperor soon after the creation
of the Cent Gardes. Two of them kept
guard beside the door opening from the
anteroom on the presence chamber.
They remained in the regulation atti
tude-that is to say, with the right
arm horizontally stretched out and
holding a musket by the bayonet. The
butt end rested on the ground. The
Marshal was in uniform. Furious at
not being saluted. he asked the one
nearest to him what it meant. The
Cent Garde seemed neither TO see nor
to hear. Castellane lost self restraint
and abused him. Still the soldier re-
mained fmpassive. The irate marshal
sent for Colonel Verly to complain.
The colonel failed to make him under
stand that approval and not chastise-
ment was due. Thus the matter was
brought before the Emperor, who gave
the complainant a sharp rap on the
knuckles by expressing his pleasure at
the Spartan attitude of a household
guard who4was bound to ignore every
rank but. the mperial-LOndon Truth.

EXONERATED BY
DYING VICTIM
Officer Rice Fired in
Self-Defense.
DONNELLYS LAST WORDS
HIS ANTE-MORTEM STATEMENT
READ IN COURT.
Fresno Policeman Is Discharged, but
at Once Rearrested at the In
stance of the District
Attorney.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

FRESNO, July S.-Polceman Tony
Rice, who shot and killed Daniel Don
nelly in the tenderloin two weeks ago,
had his preliminary eXa ninatiOn before
Recorder Cosgrove to-day and was dis
charged, the court holding that the
homicide was justifiable and that the
officer performed his duty in killing
DOnnelly. Some of the testimony was
highly sensational, especially the ante
mortem statement of Donnelly. Dis
triCt Attorney Everts tried to make it
appear that Donnelly was killed by
Jack" Brooks, and that officer Rice
Was merely an accessory. A number of
witnesses were produced who sWore
they saw Brooks fire the fatal shot.
The statement of Donnelly, taken on
the morning after the shooting, was
suppressed by the District Attorney
until the defense compelled him to pro-
duce it in court this morning. When it
was read it created a sensation. Don
nelly completely Vindicated Rice, de-
claring that he shot at the officer while
the latter was attempting to place him
under arrest According to his state
ment, Rice returned the fire and
wounded him.
Upon hearing this statement read the
court Immediately. ordered Rice dis
charged.
Charles Ardell, who had been ar
rested for completely in the alleged
murder, was likewise eXonerated. The
charge against Brooks was reduced
from murder to assault with a deadly
weapon and he was released on $4,000
bail.
Late this evening District Attorney
Everts went before Justice st. John and
procured warrants for the rearrest of
Rice, Brooks and Ardell on charges of
murder. Rice and Brooks are now in
Jail, but ArdeIl has not yet been ar
rested.
The action of the District Attorney
in attempting to suppress the state
ment of Donnelly has been openly de-
nounced as an effort to railroad" Rice
to the penitentiary. He. on the other
hand, contends that the dying man
either preVaricated or did not know
who shot him. or where he received the
fatal wound. He says he will fight the
case to the bitter end and prove Rice
murderer.
Friends of Rice declare the prosecu-
tion is really a political fight between
the Republican Board of City Trustees
and the Democratic City Marshal, John
D. Morgan. Rice is a bitter enemy of
Morgan, and the Marshal was instru-
mental in having him arrested. Everts
supports Morgan. The Trustees, on
the other hand, have unanimously en-
dOrsed Rice by refusing to discharge
him. They declare the Marshal is try
ing to get rid of the young policeman
in order to make room for one of his
political faVOrites.

BERLIN, July S.-Emperor Williams
visit to the French training ship Iphi
genie at Bergen on Thursday, and his
cordial exchange of kilograms with
President Loubet, were not only re
ceived with great satisfaction here, but
throughout Europe. AS one paper put
it. it promises to be a turning point in
the worlds history. At the opening of
the Kiel canal his Majesty went on
board one of the French ships. but in
the present instance. it is maintained,
the Emperor set foot on the deck of
French vessel, which is equivalent TO
French soil, by the express invitation
of her commander, who was acting
upon instructions from his Govern
ment 1t is therefore believed here that
the many graceful and courteous atten-
tions which during the past seven or
eight years the Emperor has been in
the habit of paying to the French Gov
ernment have borne fruit. The EN-
peror's act has been sympathetically
received in France, though some see in
it only a desire to visit the Paris EX-
position in 1900. Most of the papers
print the Iphigenie kilograms without
comment.
The Tageblatt says 1T was the first
official act of France for a generation
expressing a desire for more friendly
relations. The courtesy OF the hdlSeE
is gradually telling upon France"
The Vossiche Zeitung says: The IN
cident must fill with satisfaction the
friends of the republic, not only on both
sides of the Vosges, but everywhere ir
the world. 1t proves the present rulers
of France are not hypnotized with the
idea of a revanche and have the moral
courage to show it"
The Lokal Anzeiger sees in the Incl
dent proof of good relations.
The Cologne Gazette looks upon It as
an indication of how far French and
German sentiments have moderated
recently.
The Vorwaets does not see in the af-
fair a turning point in the worlds his
tory, and sarcastically expresses the
hope that Professor StengeIs mind
would now become more peaceful. The
attitude of the French press has
caused much satisfaction here.
Dogday dullness has suddenly set
tied upon Berlin. The Diet has ad-
journed to August IA, and the Herren-
haus to August II. Nearly all the Min
listers have departed on their vacations
and the political excitement of the past
week has given place to a quiet which
the papers can only disturb by invent
ing new rumors Of Ministerial changes.
The Emperor is yachting off the Nor
wegian coast. No exciting speeches
may be expected from him, and during
his absence the public has settled down
for month Of quiet.

FEATS OF ARCHERY.
The Ancients Were Wonderful Mas
ters of the Art

Everybody has heard the story of Will
lam Tell, who shot an apple from the
head of his son with a bow and arrow,
and of the wonderful feats of Robin Hood,
who roamed the green woods Of 'Merrie
England and could bring down a wild
goose on the wing or split an opponents 5
arrow with his own.
There are many other curious feats of
archery, however, that are not so well
known There was a famous William of
Cloudesley, who split a hazel wand with
his shaft from a distance of 200 Yards
Homer tells how Penelope promised her
many suitors that he only should be IA
vored
Who first Ulysses wondrous bow should
And through twelve ringletS the feet ar

Wen knowing that only her'husband could
display such power, in proof of which,
when they failed, he rewon his wife, for,
bending his elbow,
The whizzing arrow vanished from the
string,
Sung on direct and threaded every ring.
The Romans were very skillful bowmen,
although they discarded the weapon in
warfare, trusting to the charge and to
man Emperors were famous archers. 1t
is said that Domitian would place boys in
the circus at a considerable distance from
him and as they held up their hands with
arrows between them with such nicely
and accuracy of aim that ne never in
flicted wound.
The wicked Emperor CommoduS boaSted
that he never missed his aim or failed to
kill the wild beast he shot with a single
arrow. He would set a shaft in his bow
as some wild beast was set free in the
circus to devour living criminal con-
demned to die. Just when the furious
animal was springing on his prey the
Emperor would strike ii dead at the man 8
feet. Sometimes 100 lions were let loose at
once, IN order that he with 100 arrows
might kill them. With arrows, the heads
of which were semi-circular, he would
sever the necks of the ostriches in full
flight.
The Persian archers, according to Char
liam, practiced at a mark placed on top
of mast twenty-six feet from the
ground. Toward this the horseman rode.
with bent bow, at full speed. and in pass
ing the mark turned and shot at It back
ward, sometimes to the right and some
times to the left, seldom missing. The
Persian bow required pull of 500 pounds.
1t is said that the Turks were at one
time very skilled archers. An old writer
says that they practiced regularly with
the bow from the time they wer or 8
years old to manhood. 1t was a common
feat for them to shoot several arrows
not larger than q die. In July, 1892 Nah
moud Effendi, secretary to the Turkish
Embassy at London, shot an arrow 415
yards partly against the wind. In 1898 the
Sultan of Turkey shot an arrow 972 yards
"a feat scarcely surpassed by those at

At first the censor refused to allow II to
be acted; but, since the Emperor has Dro-
nounced it a work of great spiritual
worth ir- has been staged and will soon
doubtless be acted in every town in the
German empire. So it seems that some
times an omniscient and omnipotent En-
peror is of use. The play is very dramatic
as well as a fine work of art"
