Not a few persons consider the out
look for an auditorium here very un-
promising. There are two factions
among the stockholders, one desiring
the Academy Of Music bought and
enlarged, h other wanting a site

IND to practically all the general pub
lie. The faction which opposes the
Academy OF Music plan did rot attend
the stockholders meeting which was
called for last night. Next Thursday
there is to be a meeting and this, it
appears, will settle the fate Of the
mu~ch-talked-of auditorium project one
way or the other.

Professor Roberts and His Burglar.

Several years ago, when Professor
Charles G.. D. Roberts was living in Can
ada. he was wakened one night by hear
ing a burglar at his window. 1t was
bitter cold. and the snow was two feet
deep on the ground The burglar was
warmly clad and the Professor wore
only his night-gown. Nothing daunted.
however, he sprang to the window. The
housebreaker started back in alarm and
made for the back fence With spring
the Professor leaped through tho win
dow. carrying the sash with him.
Stop" he shouted.
The burglar sped on. In an instant
the Professor was at his side. He caught
him by the coat collar, snatchcd club
from his hand threw it on the snow. and
then with his bare feet kicked him to the
fence. over which he threw him as If
he had been log.
When the Professor returned to the
house he found that he was badly cut
by the window glass. and that his feet
had been frost-bitten. 1t was several
weeks before he was able to leave his
house. but he never was troubled by
burglars again.-Phi!adelphia Saturday

female Bird Rules.

Among several species of the birds OF
prey a difference for the female sex is
shown which is not met with in the
great majority of feathered kind, says
Mr.. Frank c. Kirkwood. an ardent stu
dent of the ways of birds and beasts.
He says:
Several years ago it was my fortune
to capture two young eagles OF the bald
head species. When meat was thrown
into the room where they were confined
the male showed plainly how great was
his desire to pounce upon it, but glance
from his sister was sufficient to keep him
rooted to the perch until she had fln-
ished. When beef or other similar meal:
were given them this easy victory fol
the fair sex was the rule, but when
fish was introduced it was only after
fierce fight that the female succeeded ir
reminding her brother of the respect
due her.
"A pair of young breat-horned owls
which l at one time had also displayed
this female domination. l fed them prin.
cipally on live rats, and when they were
turned loose in the room, the male re-
tanned a stolid and indifferent pose upor
his perch until the female had satisfied
her hunger, after which he would des'
patch what was left. Many other arr

and owls in which the female bird is the

Anci.nt Bookkeepine Methods.

The collection Of Assyr!an and Baby
lonian records at the British Museum
has revealed more of the domestic life
of people who lived 5000 years ago than
is known in the case of our own country
men 1000 years ago. Such was the
opinion expressed by Mr. w. St. Chad
Boscawen when he explained these relics
to an interested audience. The clay
bricks and cylinders beneath the glass
cases were covered with characters testi-
flying to a completely organized system
of justice. marriage, divorce, and conf
merce. The bookkeeping of 5000 years
ago was shown to be wonderfully ac-
curate: A curious form of record is that
preserved in the form of baked clay tab
lets. which were inclosed in clay en-
velopes also inscribed with the terms Of
the transaction. so that double record
provided against the possibilities OF dam
age. The open and closed evidence
spoken of BY Jeremiah is supposed to
refer to this system. The practse of re-
cording on brick the name of the king,
of the building. and of the city in which
it wa. being erected has had the advan-
tage in modern days that an odd brick
may become the means of disinterring a
city hitherto unknown-London Chron-
icle.
