THE ORIOLES PERIL,

A community of birds had establish
ed themselves in certain grove,
birds OF many kinds-orioles, robbins,
blackbirds. bluebirds, catblrds There
were three pairs of the orioles, each
pair with their nest in a different tree,
but all close together, and all on good
terms. And they were on good terms
with their neighbors, too, though the
male blackbird occasionally got into
trouble by coming too near the orioles
nests. One day the whole community
was found to be in an uproar. scream
ing and flying about in a state of great
excitement, the cause of which was
soon discovered. One of the female or
ioles had got her head caught in the
sharp fork of limb, and there she
hung. tiuttering, and unable to help
assembled around her, and were as
much excited and as incapable of rem
dering assistance as a crowd of human
beings would have been under similar
circumstances. They merely dashed
about from place to place, and fiut-
tered and screamed; all. that is to say,
except the other two female orioles,
which tried to release the captive by
dashing at her and pulling at her tail
feathers. This, however, seemed only
to wedge her more tightly in the fork.
Meanwhile. the three male orioles sat
side by side on a nearby limb. not
making move of any kind. The wit
ness of the strange scene was sur
prised to see them inactive at such a
time, but they must have been taking
counsel with each other, for present
ly one Of them flew to the place where
the captive was hanging, and strad-
ding the fork that held her head, he
caught her by the back OF the neck and
gave her a tug that pulled her free
Then he dropped her; but she recov-

SINGLE LIFE NOT LONELY.

The mans heart may be restless ano
ursatisfled, but that is not always the
chief evil of life In the masculine
heart. The lack of power to mend

atmosphere of home-the wretched-
ness of being Ill with only stranger
women, timid of approach and chary
OF soothing and smoothing. touch-the
want of insight as to what ails dis
comforting trifles, really make one
feel that the old maid has greatly the
advantage in the single-handed COM
bat with life's ills.
A woman Is never alone while she
has a work-basket and her knitting
and she must be desperately Ill II she
cannot tell the dullest attendant how
to shake up her pillows and make a
cup of tea. The physical man, In
hours OF distress, cries out for COM

aching head. says the New Yorl

there Is no doubt that this winter will
sanction the fashion of the various
thin white blouses to be worn under a
plain or elaborate Jacket
Louisine will be the fashionable fab
ric for dressy blouses to be vs)rn with
handsome cloth suits, and French
knots look immensely well on the
bands that go to making collar, cuffs
and front box plait.
Black knots on white are charming.
Try making some on bands of white
taffeta and see how stylish the result
is! Then hemstitch these bands and
apply them to the white blouse you

How shall one reach the century

of oatmeal porridge and bread and
about half a pint of milk just warm

nearly forty years Afted breakfast
he worked till lunch time. his lunch
consisting of a mutton chop and a
glass OF that ale, which, as he himself
says, taken in moderation gives stam-

were in the early '90s-he went for
walk before his dinner at o'clock,
beer again being his only drink. After
that he read his newspaper. At 8
o'clock he took his one cigar and at
10 was In bed. This was the every
day tenor OF his life, and he remarked
that regularity Is the secret OF long
evity.-London Chronicle.

Coast Zine In Cuba.

One OF the monthly magazines pub

entitled Covering a War" purporting
to show how the papers get the news

principally with Cuba. and In the ar

Cuba (the island is over one hundred
miles long,, and to know every event

Girls Away from Home - Traits of

House.
GIRLS AWAY FROM HOME.

lived for some time in boarding
house for girls exclusively, where
hundred made their homes, engaged in
Offices, stores, schools OF music and
public schools and medical and dental
colleges. AS most of those girls spent
their evenings in the house, frequent
opportunities we're afforded for observ-
ing the effect produced by sympathetic
songs, the talk OF home, or perhaps the
recital of an accident which OCCASION
ally befell some unfortunate little
newsboy. Such incidents. while tri-
fling in themselves, served to remove
the outer shield and sterner mien with
which many true girls must Il need
envelop themselves while making their
way In the world.
Those girls appreciated and sympa-
thized with the little newsboy's efforts
in getting his pennies together each
day. They also loved the songs OF
home, the sentiment seeming to reach
and affect the hearts of those who,
through the force OF circumstances,
were separated from home and Its sur
roundings. An agreement was entered
into by the girls in that house that,
when on crowded cars, they would sur
render to age, irrespective OF sex, seats
they might be occupying. and when not
very tired, or II they had been sitting
greater part Of the day at their work,
then the seat should be surrendered to
laborers with tin pals going home
after long day of hard labor.
