A Bird Story.

The faculty of initiating sounds ana
songs not their W must be more fire.
Quent In blackbirds than is generally
supposed. I remember in the spring
Of 1870, in the little copse on the side
Of the Frauenberg, at Fulda, hearing
several blackbirds sing a fragment Of
the w~ell-known "Du Dist verruckt mein
kind" They all sang the same first
few notes, breaking off with exactly
the same quavering, hesitating sound,
beginning over and over again. / tried
to find out how they had acquired this
addition to their usual natural roper
| toire, but could not, until an old lady
/ explained to me that blackbirds on
| the Frauenberg must have learned the
| air from q tame bird belonging to a
soldier, which had been taught by him
| to MARBLE this tune. / saw this black
| bird in a cage hanging over the cot
| tage door, but I did not hear it sing.
I have observed another instance of
| this faculty of acquisition this year In
| the Pare de Montsouris, in Paris. We
| have been interested in noticing one
particularly good-voiced bird sing
ing quite differently from his fellows.
1t seemed sometimes as we listened
in the quiet Of the early dawn or late
evening as If the bird were trying to
invent a new song; it may be he was
only initiating. Anyhow, our atten-
ton was called to the performance
Of this particular bird by the differ
ence from the usual %blackbird's song

The way Of the ChInaman.

That the Chinaman places his sur
name first, while the American has
his last; that the Chinaman wears
white for mourning and the American
black; that the Chinese women have
big waists and little feet, while the
American women have little waists
and big feet; that the Chinaman sits
in a draught as a matter of prefer
ence, while the American avoids it;
that one eats with chopsticks and
spoons, the other with knife and fork
these and a hundred other insignif-
cant contrasts in the customs of every
day life indicate the kind of obserya-
tons I am naturally making during
my sojourn in the United States. But
I realize that this antithesis is only
skin deep. Human nature is the same
in both cases, but expresses itself diff
ferently.-The Hon. WI Ting-Fang, in
Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly.

Hung Chang, Yung Lu, Hsu Tung and
Prince Ching have been appointed
Peace Commissioners in behalf of
China by an imperial edict. The pro-
foreign Southern Viceroys suggested
for Commissioners by Ii Hung Chang
were rejected by the Empress Dowa-
ger. Yung Lu and Hsu TuEg are an
ti-foreign, and the last named, who
is guardian of the heir apparent, is es-
pecially obnoxious to the foreign COM
munity in China.
Foreigners in Shanghai and other
Chinese cities are protesting against
the proposed evacuation of Pekin by
the allied troops. They desire the de-
struction of the Chinese capital. Sto-
ries of barDarous treatment of women
missionaries in the interior make a
policy of leniency unpopular in the
coast cities of China.
The anti-foreign frenzy Of the EN-
press Regent is said to have been
caused by a forged document present

an ultimatum, containing sweeping
demands from the Powers.
