wHY ROBIN HAS A RED BREAsT
One of christ's eomforters when II.
 Hung on the Cross.

O@e or 1hrtsts Gom1orteFs when He
 Hung on the Cross.
 Birds played a part at the crucifixion, according to legend After Jesus had been nailed to the cross two birds came and aIigbted on the extended arms of the instrument of death. One was a magpie, with beautiful aigrette on it's head and a long. waving tail, then the handsomest of birds, but the wiekedest. chirping insults at the suffering Jesus, The other bird was modest little bird, with gray plumage, which aIo3oached the cross timidly, uttering cries CT grief. With it's wings il tried to wipe away the binding sweat and blood from the face of Jesus, while with it's beak it tried to pluck away one of the thorns which was piercing Jesus fore head. i single drop of bleod 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- anywhere. 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 aecursed bird. Thou shalt lose that brilliant aigrette and the beautiful colors on which thou pridest myself so highly. Funereal bird, thy message shall be only evil, and the rain from heaven shall always FaIl into 41,4v s,e-f r7ho 9aacaufe of France. in accordance with this tradi- tion, pierce the heart of a magpie with thorn whenever they catch one. h 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 beaks The Russians say that the swallows took away the nails which the exeeutfoners had brought. but the sparrows carried them back again. The Danish say that the moment of the erueifixion the stork, moved with pity, cried "Styrkhaini Styrkbaini. God give him strengtb9 and since that time the stori1 has been consider ed sacred. It 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 fe1 upon him. This was due te the cleansing power of that blood according Go the church, and his eyes were thus opened to the beauty Of ho- Philadelphia Inquirer.

SEASON AT NEWPORT.

Last year was the dallest socially that Newport has known for thirty years. This year things are picking up a bit and it is sad all the big enter tainments are already arranged for, SO madame has her 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 d horde Of titled folk will follow Sir Thomas Lip ton ever when he brings his yacht to compete for The cup.
 1t is said Mrs. o. 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 Sackville of England, now her guest, does not want to go where there is a 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 come 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 Mr. Whitney.
 It is said the first big function of the Newport season will occur in June, when Mrs. Potter Palmer gives a dance to introduce Miss Julia Grant to many Newport people she has not met. Ex, tensive entertaining will be done this summer, previously to her marriage.
