combe endows the insignificant spar
row with the same high intelligence.
Passing along Bridge street." he
writes, Il saw one of pair sitting on
a house top, when suddenly a loose
slate slipped and caught the bird by
the tail, so that it was quite unable TO
move. 1t called to its mate, who see
ing its companions difficulty, tried
hard to raise the slate, but without
success. Then it flew around, utter
ing wild cries, until the attention of a
man with a ladder was attracted. He
climbed up and released the poor bird.
Both sparrows then flew off with a
merry chirp." A sparrow that knows
the uses of a ladder would be worth
something to a Snowman.

An Cniuue Institution.

II there were more men in the world
like Ebert Hubbard Of East Aurora,
n. Y, it would be a good deal more
prosperous and the theater of a good
deal less discomfort. Mr.. Hubbard
was and still is prosperous stock
breeder. Some years ago, with an OBJ
ject in view, he established the Roy
croft Shop in his little village, and be-
gan the publication of the Philistine."
a periodical that is absolutely unique
in matter and makeup. In the pro-
ductiOn of the magazine he enlisted
the services of the young men Of the
village and very soon they became
more interested in the art preseryatlye
than they had even been in billiards.
Very naturally the village girls were
also interested and became enthusiast
tic in the art of book illustration. The
"Philistine," which is known every
where, in its makeup is one of the
most artistic of periodicals. and the
books bearing the imprint of the Roy
croft Shop are as nearly faultlesS as
books car we'll be made The Roy
crOfters now not only print, illumine
and bind books. but they produce ar
tistic pieces of furniture, beautiful
things in iron. and pottery of no mean
quality. About a hundred workers are
engaged. and the idea is to give con-
genial employment to every young
man and woman in the village who
wants to work Good wages are paid,
and besides this profits are divided at
the end of the year. If all this is
not Christian Civilization in the best
sense. where will you find it?-From

What They Real,Y Said.

Deeds CT valOr and self-sacrifice in
companied by rhetorical fireworks.
During the Zulu war. after an engage
ment in which the British troops were
defeated by CetewayO's black warriors,
and were compelled to fly for their
lives, an English cavalryman, whose
scraggy little pony limped from an
assegai slash, detached himself from
the retreat and galloped back upon the
charging Zdl'S. A glance over his
shoulder had shown him a dismOunted
comrade, stumbling painfully along,
trying to jam some cartridges into his
clogged revolver When the trooper S
pony trotted up the Zulus were almost
upon the two soldiers. Fortunately
however. they had discarded their
spears, ard were mishand,ing captured
carbineS. Now. in a melodrama, or in
a realistic novel, the language of these
two gallant officers, one to the other,
would have been noble, lofty and in
spring. This is what they really said:
Get out of this, Bill, we bloomin' ijit
the black beggars will skewer we, "
gasped the wounded man You climb
up on this 'orse or I'll punch yer 'ead
off," was the reply OF the other And
1t is delightful" says a writer in Col
lier's Weekly, ito be able to say that
he did climb up, and they both escaped
from the black beggars,' and that the
trooper got the Victoria cross"

Artistic Napery.

Women whose circumstances allow
them to crafty their exclusive tastes
have pet patterns for their damask
coverings as they have favOrite flow
ers. Lady Randolph Churchill is as
sensitive to artistic napery as to
good literature or a beautiful picture,
and a design of small wreaths scatter
ed thicky over linen of the most ex-
quisite texture is the distinguishing
feature of her dining cloths. Anoth-
er American woman in England has
succumbed to the questionable fash
ion of associating satins and ribbons
with culinary matters and considers
the silken sheen of valuable linen,
woven with graceful. spreading fern
leaves in natural sizes. quite worthy
of her dinner service of gold and the
goblets of Venetian crystal.

B. g. o. RECEIVERSHIP ENDED.
New Officers Have Taken Charge of the
Road.

Baltimore, July 1.-The receivership
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
terminated at II o'clock last night and
the property was turned over to the
stockholders without celebration or
formal ceremony. John X. Cowen
and Oscar G.. Murray were appointed
receivers of the company on February
29th, 1896. by the United States court
for the District of Maryland. Being
familiar with the needs of the property
the receivers decided that the only
wise course to pursue was to practi-
cally rebuild and re-equip the railroad
The physical condition was bad, its
equipment Anticipated and inadequate
to handle business and its insufficiency
was such as to seriously injure the
revenues. The receivers plans were
discussed by the security holders and
as a large majority agreed to the pro-
vision OF enough funds to place the
road in a condition to handle its traf-
fic, they obtained permission of the
court to issue certificates for the pur-
chase, by means of equipment trusts
and receivers certificates, of new cars
and locomotives and to improve the
physical condition of the property.
The plan also provided for the payment
in full of all receivers Indebtedness,
the entire floating debt of the COM
pany. represented by promissory notes
and negotiable obligations and of all
car trust obligations. enabling the COM
pany to begin the fiscal year Of 1899
1900 with all its obligations paid. For
the reason that reorganization was
possible without foreclosure, the orig
inal charter of the company remains in
force, and the next annual meeting Of
the stockholders will be the 73d. The
new stock of the company is held by in
terests which cannot fail to be of great
help to the property and much new
capital has been invested in the Sc
curities, and there is a sufficiency of
money for still further improvements,
which are in progress. with a view to
still further reducing the cost of trans
pOrtatiOn.

PARIOR GOLF
Beginning to BE Played by the Invalid
and Lazy.

Those who are anxious to learn the
game of golf without all the violent ex-
ercise and immense amount of tramp
ing up hill and down dale which the
real thing calls for, will welcome the
new game of lawn golf. OF course.
golf cranks and enthusiasts will scott
at it, but lawn golf will give beginners
a very good idea of the rules of the
game. and from this they may graduate
into full-fiedged golfers. Lawn golf is
played with a small-sized golf ball and
implements something like golf clubs.
The course can be laid out on an Ordi-
nary lawn. or even in a drawing room,
and constantly altered at will. In place
of bunkers little fences provide the
necessary distractions, and. instead Of
the holes Of an ordinary putting-green.
there are saucers of tin with holes in
their centers. The saucers are turned
upside down in any desired position.
and, as might be imagined. il is no easy
matter to get the ball into them.
