Revengeful pigeon..

A remarkable story of the vengeance
wrought by pigeons is told by a paper
at Zurich, writes our correspondent.
Two pigeons built nest in a tree stu
ated in a well-stocked garden of flow
ers and vegetables, and there raised
a brood, of which they were very
proud. The other day the .old birds
left the nest, and in their absence some
one captured the young ones. On their
return the hen was much upset at her
loss. The cock, however, went and
fetched about so other pigeons, which
actually devastated the garden, the
vegetables and flowers being de-
stroyed in wholesale quantities.-Lon.

The New Girl VS..
the Old Girl . 3
BY DANIEL
girls I knew years ago.

girls I knew years ago.
Are the girls of to-day more lovabe, or even as much SO, as the
girls of half a century ago?
| am by no means a pessimnst, but I answer: mo"
And why? There are several reasons. Let me analyze a few Of
them.
FIRST-The girl of to-day has not the sweet refinement of the
girl of the past. She is more bosterous at times; she is more, much
more, given to the use of the vulgar street slang of the time.
S~ECOND-The girl of to-day is too often in despair. To watch
her and talk with her one would think she was carrying the weight of
a nation upon her shoulders, whereas, in reality, her trouble is moth
ing more serious than the desire to accomplish something a trihe more
novel or shocking than her girl friends.
THIRD-The girl Of to-day is too fond Of excitement. She de-
mands perpetual change, perpetual amusement, and without these she
mopes.
F~OURTH-The girl of to-day gives but little, if any, thought to
the duties that should come to her-the duties of the home life. She
thinks more of the race for fame in unfamiliar fields, of the attain
ment of a brilliant social success, of the number Of suitors she can
gather about her.
FlFTH-The girl Of to-day, while more bosterous, is less merry
in a happy girlish way than was the girl of the past; she thinks less
of the Joy of life, is more pessinistc, more harassed, more nervous
and unhappy than was the girl OF the past.
The world needs girls who will find pleasure in the duties of home
life and of motherhood, of the simple duties that tend to make the
home brighter, girls who will keep their brothers at home for the
evenings rather than send them to the streets or the clubs. Such
were the girls Of the by-gone days; such were the mothers of the
girls of to-day.

our grandmothers' time would be
very much surprised should they Wis
it the home of a certain big happy
family in Chicago. The members of
this family are some rs in number
and probably more than a third of
them are over 80 years of age. Their
fingers are still supple enough so
that the quilting bee is their main
delight; and it is also a source of
some profit, for the old ladies are
often able to sell the quilts to visit
ors. On five days out of almost any
week a quilting bee is in progress in
one of the three parlors of this
home.
Sometimes, when I am out for a
walk, I drop in at the Old Peoples
Home, as it is called, and there I am
always sure of a cordial welcome.

in IS years, mainly as a result Of racing, than in as many decades be-
fore. After our civil war everybody looked for the displacement OF
sailing craft by steam vessels. Now, in this country at least SAIL
POWER ACTUALLY GAINS UPON STEAM.
Columbia and Shamrock are not more wonderful in their way
than a vessel few have heard of-the George w. Wells, of Camden,
Me, the first six-masted schooner in the world.
She is like six Columbus teescoped, broader, deeper, heavier.
She can carry 5000 tons of coal cheaper than it can travel in barges
towed by tugs, far cheaper than in steam barges. Her crew is but
ID men. She is bigger than was any transatlantic steamer except
the Great Eastern 20 years ago. She is steered by steam, her sails
are set by steam, steam HOSTS her anchors, trims her spars.
SAII-POWER is NOT TOY. Slow freight can never be so
cheaply carried by steamers as by sailing craft of the Wells type.
Another thing: Coal grows constantly more expensive. In England
it has become SO scarce that an export duty has been put upon it. AS
coal grows dearer, sailing ships are relatively more economical.
The Wells is as beautiful in her lines, as finely modelled, as smart
ly found as a yacht. She has everything that yachting can teach,
as the farmers work horse of to-day has all the power and stamina
that have been developed by generations of racing sres.
The engineer, the man of steam down below in his stoke-hole,
speaks contemptuously Of the Sticks" of the sailing vessel. But like
a good many old-fashioned things whose obituaries have been writ
ten, SAIL WILL STAY.

anarchy and revolution could gain the mastery.
Are we, as a people, forsaking this keystone of our nations? Cen
ss figures would seem to show that we re becoming, more and
more, a trades people, a manufacturing people. When our govern
ment was founded it was a government of farmers, AND A RIGHT
GOOD GOVERNMENT IT WAS. Then there were, comparative
ly speaking, no cities. But six places in the nation could boast a
population of 5000 people or more, and Of our nearly 100000 people
but 34 per cent. lived in the cities. To-day, with Is 468,o3o people, 331
per cent, or nearly one-third, live in cities of more than 5000 in
habitants. EVERY DECADE A HEAVY INCREASE
IN THE PROPORTION OF URBAN POPULATION.
The advantages and possibilities offered by the farm to-day are
greater than advantages and possibilities offered at any time in the
past. They are greater than are offered the majority of men in the
overcrowded cities. THE FARM is STILL A GOOD PLACE
FOR THE SON OF H SOIL TO TIE TO.

Street Cars vs.. Transfer Wagons

While there is no city ordinance
that says IF you have more packages
to carry than wheelbarrow will hold
to get hack or transfer wagon" there
is an unwritten law to that effect There
are some persons who disregard this
time established custom and pile their
baggage upon a street car regardless OF
the inconvenience caused to the crew
and the other passengers.
Recently the Wayfarer was riding on
a Delaware avenue car of the Whining
ton City Railway Company. when 2
man boarded the car in Market street
He carried with him two of the largest
sized washtubs. People lodged tC
avoid having their heads knocked OF
but the man persevered until he hat
placed a tub on either side of the mo-
,torman. The latter resembled a drum
mer in the Salvation Army. except tina
his face was minus the heavenE
smile of Christian resignation.
Upon looking around the Wayfare
discovered a drummer in possession o
T, the rear end of the car. and his bag
gage almost hid the conductor.

As to Horses Straw BOnnets

Alfred d. Vandever, formerly coroner
OF New Castle county, is an authority
on horses, and during the recent torrid
weather impaired to the Wayfarer
some information relative to the use Of
the straw hats and sponges worn On
horses heads.
THAT straw hat is all right" said
Mr.. VandeveT, If it is properly adjust
ed, and is a protection to the horses
brain in the broiling sun, but if used
improperly it is a detrlment and source
OF discomfort to the animal
In the first place, if a sponge is used
beneath the hat it should not be wet,
as it has a tendency to scald the hOrse's
head 1t should be kept dry, except as
wet by the sweat from the animals s
head. The hat brim should extend
we'll down over the forehead, leaving
space of about one and a-half inches
for the air to pass under. Many per-
sons are ignorant of the fact that q
horses brain lies in its forehead and
that the extreme top of the skull De-
tween the ears is protected by heavy
bones, and wet spOnges and hats arc
not needed at this point to save the
brain from heat"
