WHY ROBIN HAS A RED BREAST
One Of Christ's Comfortera When He
 Hung on the Cross.

One Of Christ's Comforters When He
 Hung on the Cross.
 Birds played a part at the erueifxion, according to legend. After Jesus had been nailed to the cross two birds came and alighted on the extended arms ot the instrument Of death. One was a magpie. with a beautiful aigrette on it's head and a long, waving tail, then the handsomest of birds, but the wickedest chipping insults at the suffering Jesus The other bird was a modest little bird, with gray plumage, which aT7Ioaehed the cross timidly. uttering cries Of grief. With it's wings t tried 10 wipe away the blinding sweat and blood from the face of Jesus, while with its beak 1t tried to pluck away one Of the thorns which was piercing Jesus fore head. A single drop of blood fell on the breast Of the pitying little gray bird, and gave the world the robin red breast. And to it Jesus said: Blessed be thou, little bird which sharest my sorrows. May joy accompany thee ey- erywhere. Thine eggs shall be as blue as the sky above; thou shalt be the bird Of God, bearer Of good tidings. As for thee" said he to the magpie, thou shalt be an aceursed bird. Thou shalt lose that brilliant aigrette and the beautiful co1ors on which thou pridest myself so highly. Funereal bird, thy message shall be only evil, and the rain from heaven shall always fall into thy nest. The peasants of France in accordance with this tradi- ton, pierce the heart Of magpie with 3 thorn whenever they catch one. In Spain the swallow is considered the good bird, and they say that when the Roman soldiers pressed the crown of thorns on Jesus brow the swallows came and tried to remove the thorns with their peaks. The Russians say that the swallows took away the nails which the executioners had brought, but the sparrows carried them back again. The Danish say that the moment of the erucifxion the stork, moved with pity. cried eStyrkhain! Styrkhain!" God give him strength!) and since that time the stork has been consider ed sacred. IL is also stated that Lon- ginus, the Roman soldier who pierced the side of Jesus with the spear, was converted on account Of the blood which fell upon him. This was due to the cleansing power of that blood, according to the church. and his eyes were thus opened to the beauty Of ho- Uness.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

The Germ That Causes sunstroks

An eminent doctor has been fnvesti- gatlng the malady and has come to the conclusion that sunstroke is not due simply to excessive heat or ex- posture to the full rays of a eloudless sun. He declares that sunstroke is, on the contrary, an infectious disease, caused, like fever or smallpox, by specific organism or germ. But this germ he has not yet succeeded in isolating, though he hopes in course Of time to do so. There is little doubt, he says, that the germ is bred in the superficial layers Of the soil in cer- tain low-lying regions Of the earth, and that 1t is imbibed into the hu- man system by the breathing of dusty air.

This year things are picking up a bit. and it is said all the big enter tainments are already arranged for, so madame has ht@ engagement book all made out for the summer and has noth- ing further to do but enjoy herself. Hotelkeepers are getting ready for a rush, because it is expected a horde of titled folk will follow Sir Thomas Lip ton over when he brings his yacht to compete for the cup.
 It is said Mrs. 0. H. P Belmont will occupy the famous marble house this summer. as W. K. Vanderbilt, jr.. her son, and his bride, formerly Miss Fair, have declined to open the big house on their own account. Instead they have taken Belvoir which is a beauty spot. The house is all covered with ivy and is surrounded by eighty acres of lawn They will entertain lavishly.
 George Gould will not go to Newport. His wife never did like the place. and Lady Mary Saekville of England, now her guest, does not want to go where there is crush. The Goulds will live on their yacht this summer and cruise about the coast as fancy strikes them.
 Henry White, secretary of the Amer ican legation in London, will not be able to eeme to America this summer. and has leased his Newport place. Ed gerson. to Mir. and Mrs. Almeric Hugh Paget. Mrs. Paget is the daughter of MT Whitney.

Great stamp CoIIection.

Philatelists will be interested to learn that the great Tapling collection of postage stamps in the British Mu- scum is now nearly all arranged in sys- tematie order, and will soon be ayail- able for purposes of comparison and study. L. D. Bacon, who has been engaged in the work for the last four years, has carefully annotated evers issue with the name of the printer and designer, and the date of issue. The collection is preserved in a very strong iron chest in one of the rooms of the National Library. but when it's ar rangement is finished it is probable that some device may be adopted so that those who wish to consult it can do so without having access to the stamps. Several suggestions to this end have been made, and experiments are being tried with view to adopting the most satisfactory method of giving the public the required facilities. whila protecting the stamps from being ham, dled and the deteriorating effect os light Birmingham (England) Post

COFFEE REPORT.
Low Priced Grades Find the Readies
Sale.

Otis, McAllister & Companys latest
coffee report was received by the Hong
kong Maru. Their summary of the sit
pation is as follows:
A glance at the sales since our issue
of the 18th ultimo., shows the past
month to have been one of unusually
large business for this season. Grades
below Sc. have found readiest sale and
the continued demand for these makes
the one steady feature of the market.
Unwashed Salvadors have dragged,
while washed varieties are attracting
attention because of the values they
show as compared with other growths.
All coffees over 10c. evoke but little
interest and keep sagging toward a
point more in harmony with the lower
priced goods and, while Brazil receipts
continue as at present, excessively large
these conditions must obtain
observation-disclosures do not seem in
clined to make any material concession
in prices and as a consequence sales
have been very limited during the past
month; fortunately stocks are not large
and receipts are light, so possibly ask
ing prices may be realized if the coffee
is held long enough; in the meantime
however. Central Americans are being
sold at from to cents per pound less
than similar grades of Hawaians.
Stock in first hands today is 1146 bags.
sales: 126 bags prime to fancy 14617
cents; Is bags current quality 01S
cents; bags common to ordinary 1851
cents.
