A CHIVALRIC BIRD.


Even the birds recognize woman's
rights-at least so an Audubonite lee
turer declared the other day in describ-
ing the habits of the golden-crowned
thrush, more familiarly known as the
oven-bird. The word ''oven" merely re-
fers to the shape of the philosophers
nest, which usually is built on the
ground with a dome-like roof. Even
the family name suggests fire, being
Furnariidae, says the Baltimore News.
But the way in which the nest is
built explains the birds answer to
eternal feminine" demands. A parti-
ton divides the 'oven" into two COM
partments. The inside one is for the
lady bird and has a luxurious feather
bed. The outer room is the gentleman
birds boudoir, and it's only furniture
is a rough clay couch.
The head of the family has a golden
crown-which he deserves, for he's a
gentleman and a scholar-a regular

for 20 miles before he was picked up

Caleb was finally landed in Cincin-

As he had got that far from home,
he thought he might as well go fur

western states before setting his face
homeward.
The three-times widow said he ought
to make up his mind to live or die. and

of course she was glad he had come
back. With Arson Davis it was diff

Caleb went into full particulars, and
as he could show head squeezed out
of shape and letter from the super
intendent of an insane asylum in cor
roboration, he was finally forgiven by
the aggrieved parties and the wedding
garments packed away again.

later, but I'm hoping that when | do

why, yes; l promised to-" was the
reply, land | never break my word.
Yes, you can depend on me-"
This time it was year before Caleb
had any further adventure, although
his heart trouble grew worse. and the
doctors told him he was liable to drop
dead any day. He went away one day
on a seven mile journey 10 visit a sis
ter, and while crossing a bridge on
which a crowd had gathered to watch
the flood. the bridge gave way with
crash and &c people were swallowed up
in the rushing waters.
That Caleb was among the swallowed

dozen people who knew him saw him go
down. During the next three weeks
most of the bodies were discovered. and
his was among the number. The widow
identified il by dozen different marks,
and had been very particular about it,
because Arson Davis had said:

when the year is up, and we can't af-
ford to have any more mistakes"

Handwriting n Relic of Knighthood

In the days of knighthood every man
carried a sword and was ready to slash
his neighbor upon the slightest pre-

one another by the right hand, thereby
indicating peaceable intentions, as
each one thus gave up to the other his

Arson Davis didn't rush matters. He
waited a month before he called TO in

Mary, do. you think there can be any
doubt that Caleb is in Heaven this
time?'

under his arm appeared and walked
straight to the Widow Jones house
without asking for directions. He en-

placed his bundle on a chair, he said to

TAKE POWER FROM PRIESTS.
Commission to Enact New
Repatriation Law for Recording
Births, Marriages and Deaths.

One of the first things done by the
new Philippine commission will be to
provide new registration law in the
Philippines. This act will be another
long step towards divesting the clergy
of it's tremendous power, and it will re-
ieve the people of oppressive charges.
Atpresent all births, deaths and mar
riages are registered by the parish
priests, and a fee of one dollar for each
certificate is charged. In 1870 regis
tration law applicable to the Philip
pines was enacted in Spain, but owing
to the influence of the clergy it has
never been put into effect This law
reduced the charges so per cent, and
gave justices of the peace the power to
register births, deaths and marriages.
1t also prohibited the priests from reg
istering these events, and of course de-
prived them of a large revenue. .<.>:
When the Philippine commission
was in the archipelago it was requested
to procure the enactment of law of
this kind. If the recommendations of
that body are adopted the Spanish law
of 1870 will be put in force. This will
give justices of the peace and clerks of
courts authority to perform duties Of
this kind now done by priests. No ex-
pense will be incurred by the govern
ment in granting this wish of the Fill
pinos, as enough fees will be collected
to cover all outlay.

Whether Government Is at
Peace or War,

The secretary of war has confront
ing him difficult problem requiring Z
decision whether or not the United
States are in a state of war. In time of
peace, but not in time of. war, any
United States soldier may purchase his
discharge from the army upon certain
prescribed conditions. More than two
score of applications of this kind are
now before the department.. If it is
held that this isya time of peace that de-
cision might carry with it the reduc-
ton of the pay of all the soldiers now
in the Philippines by one-half, contin-
gency that cannot be contemplated
without apprehension.
There are equally dangerous COM
plications lurking in the other propo-
'sltlon-namely, that the, country is in
"a state of war. War department Of

BIG ORDER FOR ToRPEDoES.
Thirty Whitehead Projectiles of the
Latest Pattern Needed by Battle-
ships of the Maine Type.

Rear Admiral O'Neil, chief of the
ordnance bureau, has placed a contract
with E. w. Bliss & Co., of Brooklyn,
for 80 Whitehead torpedoes, for
which the government will pay
$146,000. -.
These torpedoes are needed for the
battleships of the Maine class, which
have been equipped with underwater
discharge torpedo tubes. The tor
pedoes which Bliss & Co. will supply
to the government will embody the
most advanced features, and it is ex-
pected, will have range much great
er than that of the torpedoes now in
service. 1s#..
Each battleship of the Maine class
has two torpedo tubes, so that the CON
tract just placed will enable the issue
of five torpedoes to each vessel. It
is proposed by the department to
equip the battleships of the New Jersey
class and the Sarmored cruisers Of the
Georgia class with underwater dis
charge torpedo tubes. Sixty torpedoes
will be required for those vessels, and
will be contracted for after the con-
struction Of the ships is begun. $2
