In Iowa the schools have holiday
that is callsl Bird day, and efforts are
being made to have it set aside in other
states. On this day original compost
tions were read about birds, the young
writers finding out for themselves the
things they wrote about, the teachers
gave talks, debates were held, and fine
pictures OF our feathered friends were
shown. One good thing that has been
done by this Bird day in Iowa is to stop
the boys from killing the helpless lit
tie songsters. As they study them and
know them more they grow to love and
protect them.

The statistics relating to the care Of
the poor are often interesting. In n GER
tain New England city they allow the
people who need the city's aid three dol
lars week, and they order ut certain
stores what they please up to that sum
weekly, and the bills are sent to the
city auditor. The auditor, as he reads
the bills, is greatly enlightened us to
the diet of the poor. There are fire.
quently raisins, citron, and things that
are not usually supposed necessary to
support life, but one poor woman broke
the record when in the bill for one
weeks supplies it was found that 26
pies had been purchased. That, at ten
cents pie, exhausted $500 Of the city's
money, and there remained 40 cents to
supply the necessities. Another poor
woman had purchased at the expense
of the city pair of corsets.

A wealthy G5-year-old widower In
Greene county proved himself the other
night philosopher capable of turning
disappointment into jollity on short
notice, says the Kansas City Journal
lie had invited numerous guests to par
ticipate in an elaborate feast, the fea-
ture Of which was to be his marriage to
an attractive young woman who was to
arrive on the evening train from an
other town. The trnin came, but the
bride-elect did not, the wires bringing
the would-be benedict this message:
wedding is off. Papa says too much
difference in our ages" But there was
no postponement of the festivities, the
jolly old chap insisting that the mer-
rymakers should proceed with undi-
minished hilarity, as the alleged we'd
ding preparations were all bluff.

Not n little perplexity is being caused
in social circles in Washington by the
custom inaugurated by certain set OF
introducing people. 1t is claimed by
the origina,ors of this custom, writes
IL Washington correspondent OF the
Chicago Record, that people in society
ourAt 20 he acquainted and therefore
un introduction is an implication that
the parties to ii do not belong to the
leading social circles. The hostesses
who have adopted this custom have,
however. brought no end of trouble
upon themselves. Recently Il newly
rich woman WIS endeavoring to enter
tain seven women in her drawing-room.
Not one Of the seven happened TO know
any of thl others. The call was any
thing but satisfactory, and now these
seven women all pass the newly-rich
woman by on the street without so
much as Il nod. Yet she is confident
that her theory is right, although it
may not be applicable to the curious
social fabric OF Washington, where peo-
pie appear and disappear with start
ling rapiGity.

while q large tom cat was making an

and the fun began. Fur flew and din

After n few minutes they ceased from
sheer exhaustion. and three cats lay
stone dead. the others staggering off to
their various homes. They presented
such an appearance Of intoxication
that George Notes, the barber. made an
investigation, and found that the cats
had been drinking beer which had been
left in keg In the corner of the room.
He determined TO watch the keg, and
late that evening saw cat walk into

IL drank until hilarious. This story

at Usage City, Kan, Mrs c. A. Stod-
ard was cleaning up her garret when
by some means the family cat got into
un old trunk filed with clothing and
was shut in tight and fast just 20
days later Mrs. Stodard was in the gar
ret again and heard the cats feeble cry
from the trunk. When the lid was
lifted the cat had just strength enough
to climb out. 1t had torn the clothing
in the trunk all to pieces in its clawing
and had gnawed the sides nearly
through in several places. But perhaps
the most singular circumstance was
found in the manner In which the cat
took care of itself after securing lib
erty. Mrs. Stqdard set before 1t a big
dish of milk and big dish of water.
1t would lap a little of each and then lie
down for n few minutes, when ngain
it would partalie sparingly of the milk
and water, and this proceeding 1t con-
tinued through the whole afternoon.
If that cat had been human doubtless
it would have swallowed all that was
placed before it at one gulp.

the first female child born in the Alder

A Denver young man wrote his best
girl, after one of those ordinary quar-
rels, saying: II want you to return
everything that have given you" She
replied by telling him to call at GER
tain hour and she would cheerfully
comply with his request-beginning
with the kisses. A man can never get

of age. If they were born the same

fishes an insulting letter addressed to
President Loubet by Lieutenant Ar

The letter is equally insulting

PARIS, June 27.-In the Chamber
of Deputies today NJ. Paul Deroulcde,
founder of the so-called League of
Patriots and member for the Angou-
leme division of Charente, introduced
a proposal for the revision of the con-
stitution, with the view of substitute
ing "a popular" for parliamentary"
republic, and demanded urgency for
his motion.
The Premier. NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau,
opposed the proposition, and asked
that the motion be referred to COM
mittee.
NJ. Deroulede asked permission to
speak, but the President OF the Cham-
Der, NJ. Deschanel, refused to allow
him to do so.
M. Lasies, Anti-Semite member for
the Condom division of Gers, accused
the Premier of having recourse to
subterfuges, and n violent tumult en-
sued. Several of the Deputies tried
to speak, but their voices were drown
ed, and the President was compelled
to suspend the session. When it was
resumed urgency was proposed for NJ.
Deroulede's motion, and was defeated
by a vote of 397 to 20.
