A SNOW WHITE ROBIN.
How One of These Rare Creatures
Was Discovered by IL Lover
of birds and Nature.

A large tract, not very far from Chi
cage, unfrequented even by sportsmen,
has been taken possession of by birds
and ''beasties." Hundreds of them live
here the year round. Warnl-weather
birds spend the summer months here,
and thrcngs Of hardy little creatures
shelter themselves here throughout the
winter and listen for the spring.
One day last September pushed nv
way through this wood down to the
creek to see what condition the fences
were in-for sometimes old Mosquito
carries off the rails-and to say good
by to the summer birds. 1t was a
lucky day for me. Besides being near
to lark when he rose with his song in
his throat, / flushed covey of quail
from the edge of the brush, heard II
flicker drum his best tune on half
decayed limb, and, best Of all, l saw
white robin. This was the way it
happened; l was coming home about
four o'clock, when just before me in
a little open space on the ground were
five or six robins, supping on some ber-
ries. Among them was one white as
the driven snow. i could hardly be-
lieve my eyes. Involuntarily l stood
still and riveted my gaze on the little
albino. The flock fingered several see
onds on the ground and then flew, light
ing in tree not far away / moved
carefully till l could command sight of
this tree, and in a few minutes l saw
them fly again, this time to disappear
in the tree tops. The fact which i'm
pressed me most in my observation of
this robin and its companions was that
neither the white one nor the red
breasts seemed conscious of any pc
culiarity in its appearance. Unlike the
while blackbird of the old Latin read
er, the bird appeared to be on the most
friendly terms with those around it,
picking up seeds and chirping with the
rest. The little company was doubt
less preparing to go south, for robins
are won't TO gather in flocks in the
woods just before migrating.
All robins have more or less white in
their feathers, but a robin perfectly
white is extremely rare. Once in a
great while Mother Nature, for soma
reason not understood by naturalists,
forgets to put any dark coloring mat
ter in n robins plumage. The young
of this freak of nature are not neces-
sarily white, but they inherit ten
dency to albinism.
Robins have habit Of returning year
after year to nest in the same place,
and if Prince White Feather spreads his
wings in Mosquito creek woods next
summer | know a person who will be
there to cultivate his acquaintance

Varying Sensations Make 1t Hard to

tionaI Work.

Some little special training, no doubt,
is needed in the observer himself. He
has to grow accustomed to the some

is confined, not less to the novelty of
the situation, and to the fact that his
observation seldom remains for a single

self with superlluous apparatus and not
to attempt too much or too varied work
on any one voyage. 1t is noteworthy,
too, how much incongruity is found in
the experiences of different individuals.
TO one, on ascending, the earth will
seem to rccedc from beneath and hol-
low itself out, as it were, into a basin
bounded only by the horizon. To an
other no optical illusion is noticeable,
and the earth, from all considerable
heights, will appear only as a dead
level. With many, but by no means all,
aerial travellers, when rapidly ascend
ing or descending, there may be a cer-
tain feeling of distress in the ears, in
terfering more or less with the sense
of hearing, but transient and generally
relieved by the mere act of swallowing.
On clear days, as higher attitudes are
reached, all voyagers will be conscious
of such sensations as are experienced
on mountain heights, the fierce rays of
the sun appearing almost capable Of
blistering the skin, even though the air
grows very sensibly colder.
There will be few, also, who will not
own to great cXhilaration of spirits,
witch renders the task of concentrat-
work somewhat difficult and irksome.
Some striking feature of the shifting
panorama, some opening fairy scene in
the heavenly glories of cloudland, will
almost irresistibly divert the atten-
ton.
1t is said, indeed, that these indescrib-
able beauties do not lend themselves
readily to photography, and can never
be done justice to by artists brush.
When the startling suddenness of a
Transformation scene there will some
times burst on the view vision of
aerial alps of puyest snow and limitless
range; towering mountains and deep
ravines, rocks with yawning chasms,
giving place to true castles in the air
with frowning battlements, dissolving
in their turn into forests of towers,
domes and spires, and all the while the
beholder is conscious that this is not
illusion, but a reality of his new home,
and that for the time he himself is a
naturalized inhabitant of the sky.
Later on conditions unknown will
prevail. The sun seems loath to with
draw his warmth, the distance becomes
swallowed up in gloom, the rawness Of
evening is absent, and the night grows
genial.-Contemporary Review.

Lumbermen were rolling logs down
a bluff into the st. John river, CANADA.
Near the foot of the hill there was a
slight ridge, and now and then log
would strike it and bound into the air,
landing well out into the river. Some
times log went astray and got stuck,
and then a man had TO go down to dis
lodge it. Once when this happened a
man was prying at log when two men
came to the top of the bluff with an
other log, and ~ some mischance it
started down. They called to the man
below, but there was no chance to seek
shelter. Down rolled the log, gaining
velocity with every foot, and then it
struck the ridge, gave great bound,
and went high over the mans head.
The lumbermen call it the closest shave
on record.

And so Decoration day should be to

keep it as a nation of men and women
who believe in a republican government,

are ever ready to honor those who come
forth to the defense of our institu-

To-day we are one country--we know

ducks in the barnyard all her life, sleep

some one took all her little ones away
she was lonely without them and stole
10 little ducklings from an old mother
duck. She carried them all down in

the mother duck could not coax them

When he reached the Ralston lot he
looked about him sel.rowfully. He felt
sadly desolate. He alone was left OF
all those merry, laughing fellows.
Presently his eye wandered to grave
somewhat apart from the rest. The
scarcity of its flowers drew his attten-

DECORATION DAY.
~ Is n Day Dedicated 10 the Brave
Dead and should De
Held sacred.

Among the many national holidays,
there is none which SO tenderly affects
the heart of the thoughtful as Decora-
ton day.
The day when rich and poor alike go
to the silent resting-place of the loved
and lost, to lay with reverent hands
flowers upon the graves of their dead.
The day when grateful people go to
decorate with the sweet offerings OF
fragrant springtime blossoms the
graves of those who fell in battle, and to
speak in hushed and saddened tones of
those troublous times when every heart
was sorrowing, and every eye was wet
with tears for the dissension which had
rent our beautiful and beloved land in
twain.
Decoration day! The very name calls
up such sweet and tender memories.
How the flowers are tended and cher
ished through the long, cold days of
winter that they may be at their best
and brightest for Decoration day. And
the costliest offerings are not too good
to lay upon the graves of those we have
lost, but whose memories still live in
our hearts.
How those among US vino are Tar

battle had been fought, until the aw-

been made out. And then? All, God
had need to be mercful TO those who
read the names o, their loved ones in
the terrible list.
How from the pine-clad hills of
Maine to the palmetto plains of the
gulf stateS-from the Atlantic to the
Pacific-the cry of grief was in all The
air, and the brave young sons of the
north, and the equally brave and gal
liant young sons of the south, gave
up their bright young lives, and the
mourners went about the streets in
every town and city in the land!
Mothers sent out their sons, and
wives sent their husbands. And when
they came not back, as. alas, so many
of them did not--the desolated hearts
of those who had loved them sought
solace by setting apart one day when

S. Otis, the American commander in
the Philippines, been nonplused. That
was when as boy he was a student in
the Rochester academy. He was
natural leader, and for four years he
kept the faculty in a state of agita-

smuggling of a donkey into the class
room, and tying the animal securely
TO the head professors desk. When
that gentleman made his appearance,
