Mark Twain and General sherman,

Some man who wants to spoil a good
story has raised a direct issue of verac.
ity between Mark Twain and the late
General William r. Sherman. Mark
Twain, In the published accounts of his
recent interview with Emperor Francis
Joseph Of Austria, makes the emperor
offer, after Twain had apologized for
forgetting bis German Grafton, TO
translate it for him from English into
German. General Sherman, on the
other hand, in the diary of his trip to
Austria in 1872, has Francis Joseph
apologizing because he is unable to
speak English.

Borrowing Birds.
From the Spectator.


If wingless birds, unable to place their
nest or gain security for their sitting mate
and her brood on trees or preclpices took
to burrowing in the earth, they would be
considered to be making an intelligent ef-
fort at self preservation. But the burrow-
ing birds are mainly species remarkable
for their power Of flight, and could choose
any site they preferred to nest on. Even
the puffins can fly away TO the Mediter-
ranean every year, ana the kingtisher and
sheldrake are both remarkable, the one
for the velocity, the other for the sustain
ed power. of its travel through the air.
Sand martins, the smallest of our swal-
lows, and the stormy petrels, the tiniest
of web-footed birds, both choose to toll at
mining the earth for a nesting place,
though both belong to families famous for
flight both over land and sea, and neither
has the slightest special equipment for
such arduous labor Other petrels, true
ocean birds, and Independent, except at
nesting time, of any element but air and
sea, burrow in the earth by choice when
the single egg is to be laid. 1t is not
even a successful device. The capped pc
trel, now believed to be extinct was kill
ed off in its only breeding places, the ISL
ands of Guadalupe and Dominica. large
ly because it did burrow, and so was cas-
lily caught both by men and small carniv-
erous animals. Yet the zeal with which
such tiny birds as the petrels or sand mar
tins work at their tunnels shows that they
believe them to be a necessity for success
in life.
Early last spring a freshly arrived par
ty of sand martins reached the mouth of
the River otter, in Devonshire, almost at
the beginning of April, and at once Sc
lected a bank, just over the stream, for
an experiment in burrowing. The little
birds were almost as tame as bees; pos
sibly they were all young birds of the past
year and in the solitudes of Libya had
not yet learned any fear of man between
the days of their leaving and returning
to the banks of the Otter. They clus-
tered and fluttered like brown moths
against the red earth, and competed for
claims" with gentle rivalry. Though
they could hardly have recovered from the
fatigue of their fight from Africa their
first thought was to select a site for this
abnormal and unnecessary labor of exca-
walton.

two days. When Lord Curzon and Lady
Curzon arrived on the steamer landing the
former exhibited SO much self-complacency
that the effect on the Bombay people was
unpleasant. But the people were charmed
with Lady CUrZOn, for she is said TO have
been simply and unaffeetelly peasant. The
selection of Lord Curzon has been a very
popular one In India, however. and there
is a feeling that ne is well fitted for his
