And the polite answer invariably

Every one who answered his ring
addressed him as mr." but shut their
doors and hearts against him.
Finally, he rang the bell at a brown
stone front. A gentleman appeared
and the old man began:

"You darned, black, kinky-headed
~rascall!" exclaimed the gentleman:
tTHow dare you ring the bell at my
front door? Go round the backyard

yellow Canary
TIP was a cute little yellow and
brown canary, the pride and pet Of q
New York family. He was given the
freedom of the sewing room and only
retired to his little gilded palace for
rest and refreshment. At night when
his master came homo Tip was always
invited to alight on mis- ~forefinger, a
with many dainty pecks would de-
spatch a lump of sugar held n U Tor
his delectation. A funny little chap ne
was, and the delight and amusement
Of all, but he had a very human weak
ness and too much attention spolled
him.
After leading a virtuous life for dive
years Tip took to drinking in his old
age. Like so many OF his feathery
kind he developed asthma, and the
only relief for these alarming par
oGysms was a little whiskey and wa
ter, which always had the desired Ell
feet. Butft also made the little fellow
so tipsy he would be quite unable to
mount his perch, and would stagger on
to some convenient corner to sleep OH
his debauch. The attacks occurred
with suspicious frequency, and finally
it was announced by a sceptical mem
Der Of the family that when Tip clos
ed his little eyes and emitted a few
feeble chirps he was not always suf-
fering from asthma, but working his
anxious friends for a drink, AND great
was the CONSERVATION and discussion
In consequence. How was n TO tell
a genuine case from the counterfeit
article? While the doctors were decid'
ing the patient would die. So Tip
went on having an alarming seizure
almost every day, followed by the in
eyitable drop" and the final nap in
the corner of the cage.
One unfortunate morning TaDby
slipped up from the lower regions and
saw an intoxicated bird huddled up
helpless in a corner of his abode with
the front door invitingly open. The
narrowing details were lever known,
but half an hour later a poor little
head was all that was found lying in
pathetic disjuncture on the floor OF the
sewing room, while Tabby L the back
yard licked her wicked chops and
purred ~contentedly.

Rainbow in a Cloudless Sky.

Unofficial reports which have
reached Washington indicate that the
eclipse was visible to a greater or less
degree in its entire path of totally.
Particularly fortunate were the OBJ
servers in the southern section of the
country, where the weather seemed to
be unusually favorable for securing
the Photographic data which the sci
entists were so anxious to obtain,
though in some portions toward the
gulf the weather was cloudy. In some
of the southern cities during the pc
Rod of totally stars were visible al
most directly overhead. In Richmond
a most striking feature of the eclipse
was a short but brilliant rainbow on
the west or contact side of the sun.
The phenomenon was the more sur
prising as there was not a cloud in the
sky.

ideaI Weather.

Atlanta, Ca, May 29.-In every sec
ton of the southeastern states Mon
day over which the belt of totally of
the suns eclipse extended, the
weather was ideal for the observation
Of this remarkable phenomenon. In
the southern portion of Alabama
there was some haziness, but other
than this the astronomers and sci
entists who located their o~bseryatories
in North and South CaroIina, Georgia,
Alabama and Louisiana report that
the weather could not have been more
auspicious for the study of the suns
eclipse and to secure splendid photo
graphs of the details attending the
passage Of the great orbs.
From the many stations OF obser-
Tation established by universities, sci
enfihc and private parties re-
ports indicate that the taking OF sci
entiic data was entirely successful,
and no incidents occurred TO mar in
the smallest degree the full benefit
that was expected to be derived from
the event by the scientists, many OF
whom made long journeys to view the
eclipse for IS seconds.
The two most notable features of
the day was the discovery by Prof.
Lord, Of Ohio State university, who be-
heyes he obtained results that tend to
prove that the mysterious matter
which forms the corona Is - be found
also IN the solar promlnences, and the

Phenomena Observed.

The watchers at the observatory
gazed at the phenomena through a
26-inch and a 12-inch equatorial tele-
scope, while another official used a
comet finder. There were no attempts
at photography, as all the instru-
ments for such purposes had been sent
south. The only object of The watch
ers in Washington was to catch and
record the time of the first and final
contact and the exact moment of the
nearest approach to totality. The
phenomena of the moons shadow

compartment for the eclipse, was not
observable here. Mr.. Boeger, who
