where she made a study of animals.
Young girls. even If art students, were
not as free to go where they chose
then rs now. AMI the consequence was
that Rosa dressed in male attire, and
since then she invariably followed the
custom.
The first great success of Mile. Bon
heur was the Horse Fair, justly re-
garded as masterpiece of its kind.
Another famous painting is called lie
Labourage Nivernais. which she exc
cuted in 1919. Her principal paintings
number over fifty, and besides these
there are numerous small paintings
that are scattered over the civilized
earth. Most of her animal pictures
have been made from animals in her
own collection. At her chateau of BY
she kept complete menagerie, and
often she dropped her brush to 90 and
talk to its inmates. ITO have wild ami
mails love one," she once said, lone
must love them and indeed her fond
ness for animals was "A passion. She
had no hesitancy whatever in passing
her strong hand through the name of
lion the first time she saw one; and
often, after she owned one for Il little
time, 1t would come TO the bars of its
cage and seem to beg for u caress.
Once while Mile. Bonheur was paint
ing stampede Of horses on the Ameri-
can plains Buffalo Bill sent her two
wild mustangs as models. In return
she invited him to sit for her. and her
picture of Col. Cody on horseback is
said to be one of her best pictures.
Mile. Bonheur was the recipient of
many honors. The Empress Eugene
conferred upon her the cross of the
Legion Of Honor. From King Leopold
of Belgium she received the decoration
of the Leopold Cross of Honor, the
first woman who was ever so honored.
and she also had conferred on her
many other decorations.

Curious bird Habits.

1t is well known fact that if the
young of almost any kind of bird are
taken from the nest before they can fly
the old ones will feed them most atten-
lively if the cage in which the little
birds are inclosed is placed somewhere
where the parents can reach ii, and a
popular but erroneous belief is current
that they do this for time. and end
by poisoning the young ones
This. however, is mistake, the fact
being that at II certain stage of young
birds existence, when it is naturally
able to begin catering for itself. the
parent birds. also quite naturally, cease
TO attend it. and then. if the birdlings
are shut up in the cage and their Gus
todian has not thought of placing some
food at their disposal they necessarily
die not from poison administered by
the parents, but from starvation. st.

The Irish Language.

1t sounds profane to ask whether
our ancient tongue is worth preserving
Yes, 1t is, even as Il spoken language.
and SO well worth preserving that if
the effort be not made, and. with God =
blessing, made successfully, we should
be held accountable for casting from us
what is. in the natural order. apart
from the national spirit, the noblest in
heritance of our race.
1t is the misfortune of many good
Irishmen to know nothing of the Irish
language, however anxious about it.
and. through an untoward history, ii
is the way with many others to care
but little for its fate, because the in
vader has branded it as an inferior
tongue. But it never happened that
any one competent to form an opinion
who knew Irish did not esteem it as a
noble vehicle of human thought and
feeling --Gael.

CONJURED A TREATY.
How Houdin. the Magician. Awed the
Arabs Into Submission.

During the French conquest of Al
geria (ls3O-ls33) negotiations for peace
were entered upon with the sheiks Of
certain Arab tribes. and a meeting for
the settlement of terms was arranged to
take place mt the French headquarters.
The French officers received their guests
with great hospitality. and after the
banquet given in their honor, at which
the utmost splendor was employed, in
order to dazzle their eyes and captivate
their simple minds, an adjournment
was made to large hall, where NJ
Houdin, the celebrated conjurer, who
had accompanied the French forces,
gave an exhibition Of his skill.
They stared in open mouthed wonder
ut all the tricks that were performed,
and a feeling of awe crept over them ms
they witnessed the mysterious appear
ance and disappearance OF various oh
jects. But what appeared to them most
marvellous was the apparent manufac-
ture of cannon balls M. Hondin passed
round among them a high hat. which
they examined very carefully, but with
out suspecting anything unusual in Ell
Their its make or its appearance. When
the hat was returned TO him the con-
jnrer placed it on the floor in the mid
die of the stage in full view of his au-
dience. He then proceeded to take from
the hat cannon balls apparently with
out number, and rolled them across the
floor into the wings. With this the per-
Torrance terminated.
The chiefs then consulted among
themselves and came to the conclusion
that it was useless TO offer any opposi-
tion to an army that could turn out its
ammunition in so easy manner. They
therefore signed the required treaty and
departed to tell their friends in the
desert Of the wonderful power Of the
invaders. -Cincinnati Enquirer.
