COST OF THE CUP DEFENDER.
The American Racing Yncht Has
Cost It's Owners IA Handsome
Fortune.

A correspondent of the Army and
Navy Journal having applied to it for
informa ton on the subject, that paper
answers that the cost of the building
of the Columbia has been variously esti-
mated at from 100000 to $150,000 and
for the Shamrock at from $150,000 to
100000. 1t then adds:
"A summary Of the cost of the Sham
rock, based on estimates from various
sources, is as follows Construction
and rig, 100000; pay roll officers and
men, including sailmakers and car
penters $50 mem, for four months at
average of $40, $12,s00; provisions for
men and officers at SIS week for IS
weeks, $1,000; clothing for crew, $1,000;
for dry docking twice, 5000; tender at
$3.50 day for 60 days, $4,000; tugboat
a 500 day for 60 days. $4,000; derrick
and lighter services, $500; lighter for
storage of spars for six weeks, $500;
freight for spars and sails by steamer
$685. passage for 30 workmen, Triggers

! Fife, and of Sailmaker Ratsey, who
came TO this country, are charge
against the account the sum would, OF
course, be SO much augmented. Re-
| capitulation shows that the Erin and
Shamrock represent a first cost Of

| increases the expenses to $S75,000."

BIRD SISTER OF CHARITY.
Affection Manifested by Jnva SPAR
row When It's Companion Was
MOrtaIIy Wounded.

Milne Edwards, director of the Jar
din des Plantes in Paris, relates the fol-
lowing story of two Java sparrows:
"They were both hens and in the same
aviary With a parrot, which took dis
like TO one of them. One day the parrot
picked quarrel with one of the spar
rows. tore out its feathers and finally
broke its leg with blow of its beak.
The poor little thing could no longer
stay on a perch. 1t lay shiyering on the
ground, to the evident grief of the COM
panion bird. She went about the avlary
picking up straws, feathers and leaves
to make bed for the invalid. She ac-
compIished wonders of dexterous man
agement in lifting up the featherless
sufferer and placing it on the couch.
But the weather was cold at night. The
charitable bird placed itself beside the
one with the broken leg, and extended
a wing over it to keep ii warm. The po-
sition must have been uncomfortable,
not to say painful, but NJ Milne-Ed-
wards never came at night TO see how
this feathered sister of charity" was
behaving without finding it with it's
wing lovingly extended. The invalid
died. The other bird began to NOPE,
lost appetite, withdrew into corner.
dropped and died also. Was it instinct
that prompted it TO make a bed and
keep the other bird warm? No, it was
sentiment, and charitable sentiment,
guided by reason. That bird was not
only charitable, but virtuous, and really
deserved the Montyon prize.
