young woman was recently asked by young man to become his wife. He was a bright fellow and was ac- cepted in general society because of the wealth and official position of his fath- CT, but his habits were known to be bad. There were no evasiOnS in her answer. "You tell me-" she said. "that l possess qualities that you must have in the woman who is your wife. I can not say that 1 have then-but I can speak of habits that do not have and that l could not accept in a husband who did have them. do not smoke. I never swear. do not indulge in wine am not in debt. Not a moment of my nights is spent. with questionable asso- eiates, and my days are not given to idleness or to walking the streets with silly, minimizing girls Most women avoid the. indulgences I have men, tioned. and do not welcome them in men who ask to become their husbands. AS you have them, or most of them. I am not willing to become your wife. am sure nothing but wretchedness could follow from such union." The answer was sharp and decisive. It is a pity all girls under the same circum- stances are not as frank and sensible.

The Conservative, a Nebraska City weekly paper edited by J. Sterling Nor ton, contains in a recent issue a long plea for the addition of bird day to the school calendar. The article first ap- peared among the departmental reports at Washington in 1896 and is reprinted for the purpose of directing attention anew to the subject. c. A. BabcOck, superintendent of schools at Oil City, Pa, is credited with being the Origina- tor of the idea of bird day. He wrote to
 MT. Morton in 1894 urging the estab- liShment of such a day on the same general plan as arbOr day, and his sug- gestiOn met with the hearty approval of the then Secretary of Agriculture, who was himself the founder of arbOr day. May of the same year oil City gratified the wishes of its school super intendent by giving effect to his idea. This was the first bird day. A similar movement was started in Iowa, and in other States there was an awakening of interest on the subject. It engaged the sympathies of the crusaders, who deplOre the sacrifice of birds to mil linery, and of those who would check the murderous and predatory instincts of small boys, but there has as yet been no such general support of bird day as has been accorded to arbOr day. Time, however, might we'll be spared to it, both because of the instruction and the pleasure 1t would bring. We note a stimulus that is a real inspiration to study. TiresOme routine makes way for a series of object lessons in the preparation for which the youthful demonstrators have had their faculties of observation exercised to the utmost. In larger cities the study of bird life might be made in the parks and in those delightful books of which pub fishers are so lavish nowadays. Never was there time before when children could get at so many charming and at tractive volumes on any branch of nat ural history, never a time when so much was done in literature to correct the ignorance that has attacked the ! feathered allies of men in field and for--i est as if they were enemies. It is good work that deserves the general es- tablishment of bird day to further its ! object.

Concerning Longeyity.

In paper on longevity, printed in the Lancet, Dr. AinSlee Hollis comes to the conclusions: First-That the primary factor in a long life consists in an in- herited durability; the vital machinery is wound up to go for a given period, and but for accidents-or in spite of them-it will go till the time appointed. Second-That an important part of the primary inheritance is good digestive and nutritive powers. Third-That temperance is necessary in the use of the nutritive functions both in eating and in drinking, and in regard to all kinds of food and drink. Fourth-That an energetic temperament and active habits conduce to longevity.

Electric Company, who lives at Dobbs Ferry. pr. and Mrs. Reyes had ar ranged to stay over night at the Casino.
 From the accompanying sketch it will be readily understood how it was that Dr. Reyes caused the accident which resulted in the death of himself and his wife. The Casino is equipped with both electric and gas light, the electric current having been in use on the even ing in question. In turning off the key in the lamp socket 1t is probable that Dr. Reyes thumb or fingers struck the gas key, which must have been quite loose, and accidentally turned it about three-fOurths around. The result was that sufficient gas escaped to kill the two occupants of the room.
 The proper design for the combina- ton of electric and gaslight fixtures Is a subject of vital importance, and the location of the two respective keys should be as far apart as practicable. It seems to the Electrical Review that the designer of fixture of the sort here sketched comes pretty near being guilty of criminal negligence.-E Electrical Re view.

Aluminium a. Paper.

Experiments with aluminium as 8 substitute for paper are now under way in France. It is we'll known that the paper used today in the manufacture of books is not durable.
 It is now possible to roll aluminium into sheets our-thousandths of an inch in thickness, in which form it weighs less than paper. By the adoption of suitable machinery these sheets can be made even thinner still and can be used for book and writing paper. The metal will not oxidize. is practically fire and water proof, and is indestructible by the jaws of worms.

His Denomination

At the close of service one Sunday morning the pastor of a city church went down the aisle, as was his GUS tom, to greet the strangers in the con- gregatiOn. You are not a member of our church" he said to one of them.
 No, sir" replied the stranger.
 Do you belong to any denomination. may 1 ask?"
 Well" responded the other, hesitat- ingly, I'm what you might call a sub merged Presbyterian"
 How is that?"
 "I was brought up a Presbyterian, my wife is a Methodist, my eldest daughter is a Baptist, my son is the or ganiSt at a Universalist Church, my second daughter sings in an Episcopal choir, and my youngest goes to Con- gregational Sunday school"

THE SENTRY DRANK. x
But General Meade Did Not Happen
 tO See Him Do It.


 At little village on the Susquehan- na river I met an old soldier who re- lated this incident of his experience with General Meade in the civil war have forgotten his name and the place where it occurred It was a raw night in October. the wind was rather strong, and Meade had fixed stove in his tent. The soldier was the sentry for the gen. eral. A puff of wind knocked down the improvised stovepipe. and soon the tent filled with smoke. The general came out and asked the sentry to help him to rearrange it. The soldier replied that he was under orders and could not leave his post.
 "Yes. yes,'' said Meade, ''that is true. but I would like to have that stovepipe fixed. You are right" And the general went at the job himself.
 ''I kept pacing my beat" said the soldier. "and enjoyed Meade's efforts to get the pipe back in its place. He made a sorry mess of it. Finally he turned to me and said: Sentry, you will have to help me. I will be respon- sible for you. and if there is any trou- ble about your leaving the beat I will explain to the officer.
 ''In few minutes we had the pipe in position. Meade disappeared into the tent without a word of thanks, but he soon came out with jug of applejack and asked me to take a drink. Once more I reminded him I was on duty. Yes, yes, he answered. I know. but you helped me to fix the stovepipe.
 "He turned on his heel and re-enter- ed the tent, leaving the jug outside. After time he came out.
 "'Did you drinkf' he inquired. l nodded.
 "I knew you would, but I did not see it. . "-Pittsburg Dispatch.

HE ATE THE SOAP.
Garland Would Have Swallowed It if
 It Had Killed Him.

It Had Killed Him.
 The late Augustus H. Garland, who was attorney general under President Cleveland, was very fond of practical jokes and during his term of service in the senate frequently turned the laugh on his colleagues. Senators Voorhees, and Vest. with whom he was very friendly. finally determined to turn the tables Mir. Garland had a habit, like Voorhees,, of munching candy, and Vest and Voorhees, made it up between them to take advantage of his fondness for sweets to play their trick. They had some tempting looking chocolate cara mels prepared, with the interior filled with brown soap. These they took to the senate chamber and Voorhees, placed them on his desk. The lid being off when Mr. Garland sauntered down the aisle he noticed them at once.
 "What have you there, Dan2" he in- quired.
 Voorhees, looked up carelessly from his writing and responded: "Caramels. Help yourself.
 Garland needed no second invitation and, picking mp two or three. placed one in his mouth. Steadily he chewed away, his face betraying no sign of the conflict within him. This alarmed Voorhees,. who went to Vests desk and said:
 ''He's eating them, Vest What shall we do2 The stuff will kill him surel"
 Senator Vest replied that it could do no more than make him sick. Garland swallowed tine stuff. although he was foaming at the mouth. from the soap suds. Herelated the incident afterward with great gLsto and said he would have swallowed it if it had killed him.
