Morning for Phillde'phi.t's Birds
 Few pedestrians who daily pass the shadow of a great oak tIee that stands in Rittenhouse square know of the se- cret that it has shared for more than ten years with Mrs. Kate Covert and
 the birds of Philadelphia.
 Every morning between five and six o'clock the story repeats itself The tree suddenly darkens in the shadow of birds that seem to descend from every chimney top and church spire in the city. The leaves rustic nosily in the commo.ion, and the branches sway lightly under the weight of their hun dreds of tenants. The birds warble few notes to the opening day, salute 5ach other-and then all is silence again. They are waiting for Mrs. Kate Covert-and breakfast.
 She has never disappointed them. T always go no the same two trees, said the quaint benefactor, as she talk cd wisely of her proteges. For l would not want one of them to fly away thinking that 1 had not really been to see them. And they never look for me under any other tree.
 But one day they disappointed ms" Mrs Covert became grave but there was twinkle in her eyes. Tt was the first time that I had occasion to go through the square in the latter part of the day. I felt distressed at first for I felt sure that the birds would recognize me, and then seeing that l had no crumbs would think that l was betraying them and would fly away with their faith in woman shattered.
 But I had no time to pause or to change my gown. So l Qui5 tly sped through the square. Not a bird chirp- ed good morning or made any sign of recognition. Then realized that It was the basket they knew; not the cit izen Who carried it.

HARD DRIVING IN RUSSIA.
Horses Travel There Abreast Over the
 Toughest of Roads.

In Russia, as in this country. trot- ting is an established fixture: Next to the American trotter his Russian prototype is the best of it's kind. Hun dreds of thousand of dollars have been invested by Russians in the develop ment of the trott5r and every year shows improvements which, sooner or later. will seriously menace the supre- macy of the American horse.
 Russian trotting horses, so dear to the hearts of lthe fashionable in St. Petersburg, form a distinct class sim liar to the trotters and pacers of this country. and appear only in the shafts of the lightest rubber-tired vehicles and sleighs. These trottsrs are bred for speed and not for staying power. A glance reveals the cart strain in the breed, which comes out particularly in the head and legs. with their large. hairy fetlOcks. As the horses are rat tied at the highest speed over the toughest ground. even over cobble- stone pavements, the big fetlocks soon give under the strain, so that after year or two of fast driving these trot- ters leave their dignified stables for the cab ranks. Many Russian trotters have done their mile under 2.2O.
 These animals owe their origin as a distinctive class to Count Orloff Tchestmensky-he who, on behalf of Catherine II. played the chief part in strangling the unfortunate Peter III. He did good service in Russia by his stud operations, which resulted in the fast and flashy trotters that are named after him.
 Count Orloff died in 1910 and his stud. from which all the trotting studs in Russia Were formed. was afterward bought by the Russian government.
 The Russian trotting club is a W5al- thy institution largely patronized by the public. On Sundays large crowds flock to the trctting ground of the Sem enovsky. in St. Petersburg. American professionals are greatly in evidence, but work under immense difficulties. owing to the bijter jealousy of Russian trotting men. All the races are run against time and are therefore very tame from a spectacular point of view, while 50 little eXcltem5 mt do they cause that not single evening paper publishes the winners names.
 When driving trotter in sulky the driver usually sits on his hors s long tall to keep him steady in his gait. All the driving horses in Russia, by the way, have long tails. The cOachman of an ordinary Russian carriage takes no trouble to prevent the reins from drop ping about his h0rsas' hind quarters. In spite of this. however, the retns rarely become entangled with the tail, and even if they should do so the horse never kicks. This striking fact is an eloquent example to those who up hold the cruel practice of docking a

HAS QUIT LECTURING.

Mark Twain apparently has perma- nemtly quit the lecture platform. Ma jor Pond says he offered him $1o,000 if he would deliver ten lectures on his return home this autumn. He replied that no terms would remove his preju- dice against the platform. He lectured once in Vienna and once in Budapest for fun. not for money. He likes to talk for nothing about twice a year; but talking for money is work. and that takes the pleasure out of it.
