Senator Hale's remarks concerning
our national expenses were rather i'm
pressive to those who do not think we
are rich enough to have anything we
want. He pointed out that, a few
years ago, everybody was shocked to
find that the expenses had reached one
billion dollars for a single congress,
lasting two years 1t was evident, he
said, that we were rapidly approach
ing billion-dollar session. He pointed
sorrowfully to the fact that our Mill
tary budget for the coming year, in
Guiding pensions, would reach S4OO, 000,-
900, being double that of any European
power The entire expenditures Of the
government, including postal service, in
1892 were only $413,0O0,000, and now, af-
ter a lapse of only ten years. our ex-
penditure for war purposes, In time of
peace, nearly reaches that sum. The
pension bill alone calls for $145, 100000,
against $139,0O0,000 in 1899; and this
takes place thirty-six years after the
close of the civil war.
Well, those who dance must pay the
fiddler, and we must dance. 1t is much

ANyNG ENJOYS SCHEME.

There are some enterprising and in
genious folks connected with the
Broadus Memorial church of Richmond,
Virginia. They have started in to build
what will be a very interesting meeting
house. In addition to memorial win
dows which viii be erected to comment
crate the heroic deeds of American SOL
diers and sailors it will contain win
dow in honor of the Christian bankers
Of America, another in honor of the
railroad men of America and still an
other in honor of the iron workers of
America. These windows will be erect
ed by contributions from representa-
tives of the several classes which they
will honor, and all who contribute will
be provided with cards which will ad-
nit them when visiting the church to
pews opposite the memorials in which
they are interested. 1t is said that this
idea Is attracting wide attention, and is
receiving the cordial Endorsement of
many persons of influence, and it is be-
lieved that there will be many generous
responses to the appeal Of the congre-
cation for aid in carrying it out. The
building is to be somewhat on the in
stitutional plan, and among Its impor-
tant features will be a reading room
and library for the public and a we'll
furnished nursery where mothers can
leave their children when attending SER
vices. AS soon as it is completed an ell
egaht book containing history Of the
Broadus Memorial congregation, with
elegant colored pictures of the memorial
windows and list of the contributors,
will be sent to all who have interested
themselves in the enterprise.
There's nothing slow about this plan,
and we don't see any reason why those
who want to be remembered in that
way shouldn't take that way to be re-
membered.

such fare as he could afford to give
If they wanted to go, the doors were
OPEN In this way he has tanned SOUR
| rels. muskrats and woodchucks until
they and their offspring nearly overrun
his camp. With birds he has been less
successful, because most Of them went
away south at the annual migrations,
and when they came back, If any did
| come back, they were ungrateful
enough to prefer their liberty to any
thing that Mr. Davis could offer. He
has two crows, one of which Is more
than thirty years old, which have
stayed by him and never sought the So
ciety of their kind. Two robins lived
with him for years, but persisted one
cold night when the, camp fire went out.
His great success has been won with
woodpeckers, of which he now has near
ly one hundred. They are of the hairy
and downy species in about equal num-
bers, but more than both of these in
number and esteem are the red-headed
ssapsuckers, which pick round holes in
the bark of trees, making them look
like the bottom Of an old styled colan-
der.
AS these woodpeckers did not migrate,
Mr.. Davis had company the year
round. He put up boxes for them to
occupy as homes an in few years the
maple grove back of his camp was
filled with birds. The yellow hammer
is the only species Of the woodpecker
family that will live without insect
food, and after the sapsuckeTs grew
very numerous Mr.. Davis had much
trouble to feed them. He dug UP the
ant hills and sifted the sand out to get
the insects for his birds, but In spite Of
his labors the red-headed woOdpeckers
made sad havoc in his sap orchards,
digging holes in his best naples, and
impairing the flow Of sap, from which
much Of his living was derives
1t was impossible to kill the birds be-
cause Of the company they afforded,
and it was equally impossible to live
without the income from the sap cr-'
chard. The old man spent weeks in his
grove, watching the result of the
wounds which the birds inflicted on the
bark. AS the scars healed he noticed
that there was bright red spot left on
the wood directly below the mound.
If the tree was badly marked the red
spots were more numerous than they
were on trees which had suffered less,
while on trees which the woodpeckers
had not visited there were no traces OF
red.
About the time it occurred to him
that as the beautiful markings of birds
eye maple were due to the red spots IN
the wood, and as nobody had ever been
able to account for them, it was possi-
BILE that the variety of maple known as
birdseye might owe Its origin to the
work Of the woodpecked. II go, he had
made discovery that had baffled bot
anists for years. He had also learned
how to make his colony Of tame wood
peckers self-supporting.
BY mixing the ants which he sifts
from the sand, with a paste formed
from elm bark boiled down to thick
batter he can SNEAK the trunks Of
thrifty naples with such food as the
woodpeckers require, and while they
are getting meal from the bark their
bills are boring new holes In the trees

The Alleged Profitable Discovery of a
Maine Woodsman.
After having spent more than sixty
years and more than ten thousand dol
lars in hunting bears and studying the
ways of wild creatures, Greenleaf Da-
Wis has begun to raise tame woodpeck-
ers with the purpose of using them to
convert ordinary rock naples into the
rare and costly wood known as birds
eye maple. Mr.. Davis is more than
eighty. Sixty years ago he inherited a
mill property valued at ten thousand
dollars, which he coon sold and then he
went to the woods under the side Of
Mount Katahdin. Here he built a log
camp and spent much of his time on the
trail of bears and Indian devils of
which he has killed more than any 9TH
er man in Maine.

creature should be kept in captivity

he caught chose to remain with him

D0ughnut Day.

Doughnut day, how well ] knew 1t,
Years ago down on the farm;
How they sizzled in the suet
Held me spellbound as d charm.
How impatiently | waited,
Prone to sink my teeth in one,
Till their temperature abated
And Aunt Kate pronounced them done.
Big and brownish, rich and mellow,
Hole of regulation size,
Nothing else so pleased a fellow,
Naught so fair to youthful eyes.
One a relish, two delicious,
Three banquet spread for one;
Children all grew avaricious
Fer the doughnut day was done.
How | used to watch her fix 1t
As she rolled the spongy dough;
With the spices she would mix 1t,
Kneading slowly to and fro.
Pieces cut, she'd deity round them
On her own peculiar plan,
And another moment found them
Ready for the frying pan.
Winter nights how sweet they tasted
AS we sat around the CRATE,
Not a single crumb was wasted,
Bedtime found an empty plate.
All through dreary, bleak December
Unto bright, sweet-scented May,
OF the days that remember
First of all is doughnut day..

Is the hereditary prince of Isenburg

year to his fathers estates in Austria.
He found them SO hopelessly encum-

plain Charles Isenberg, he applied for a
situation as bank clerk. He will be
satisfied with his share of the good

be bank manager with an income
than prince with none.

post has extraordinary skill with the
pen and brush, and his diplomas and
certificates were greatly admired for
their exquisite taste and sl1ilful execu-
