EXCURSION INTO BIRD LAND

There Is more than one way to name
the birds without a gum" for example,
Mrs. Jenks-Smith's way, as it Is record
ed In The Garden of a Commuters
Wife" And as for birds" began Mrs.
Jenks-Smith, bird study is all the
rage.
five stopped wearing feathers, any
way, till the excitement dies down.
And we's stopped driving birds out of
the fruit trees and we've put up boxes
to draw them. They won't come into
them, though, because, the doctor says,
the rooms aren't separate and the open
lDgs draw a draft through. l call that
going q little too far. AS If birds that
fy all day in the air can't stand a draft
at night
I'm the spring, when we return here,
I'm going to have q bird class and a pro-
fessor to take us out and point out the
birds.
It's awfully nice, my DEAR" contin-
ued Mrs. Jenks-Smith; much easier
than giving a garden party; no trouble,
no fuss, managed like a Cooks tour In
Europe. He tells you everything you
ought to see, SO you don't have to
think, you know.

river where l was visiting. There were
twenty ladies, in such becoming out
ing costumes, and such a delicious
lunch, served quite In the woods, my
dear! When we were eating we saw
a quail! Yes. with its feathers on and
all! Did you ever know anything so
appropriate?
1--WE learned two other birds besides
"a blue Jane, and the other was a red.
eyed virago. l remembered the name
as SO appropriate, because the bird sang
or scolded, l don't know which you
would call 1t, all the time we were
lunching."

The World Still Needs the Workers.
The world still needs the workers, though
1t may sometimes forget
That 1t owes the weary laborers an ever
lasting debt;
Without the busy %toilers gold would cease
at once to buy
The things that please the palate or are
grateful to the eye;
The world still needs the people who must
labor day by day,
But the world keeps on forgetting, in its
easy-going way.
The lady in her satins, who Is beautiful
to see,
Forgets that those who labor lend her
all her w~itchery;
Without the busy toilers all the millions
she commands
Would not procure a piece of scented
soap to wash her hands;
Without the busy people who must labor
all their days
All her money wouldn't eve buy new
laces for her stays.
The magnate who looks proudly on his
million-dollar yacht
Forgets to give the carpenter a single
kindly thought;
He ceases tansAnember as he sips bia
splendid wine
That without the ones who labor there
would be no fruitful vine;
He forgets that all his money wouldn't
clean the crumbs away
If there were no luckless people who
must labor day by day.
The ones whose names are famous. who
are high and great and proud,
Forget that pride would die without the
busy, weary crowd;
Without the ones who labor n could
hope for greatness here,
Without the busy toilers all we prize
would disappear.
Oh, the world still needs the people who
must toll through all their days,
But the world is so ~forgetful in IT'S easy
going ways.

among them for six months while max
ing studies for the railroad in that re-
gion, has been telling some facts about
the ~troglodytes.
Along the banks of the river the pee
pie live in clay huts, but higher up
among tile hills, only a short distance
from the stream, they make for them
selves permanent ~habitations dug in
the hillsides. There are many villages
of these caves, not only the h%abitatlons,
but also the temples, the shops and
the storehouses for grain being moth
ing more than these dark artificial
caves. Many of the caves are nearly
as spacious as the smaller New York
flats. They are about nine feet high,
ten to twelve feet in width, and have
a depth of fifty to sixty feet. They are
dark and gloomy abodes, but the peo-
pie who live in them think they are
much preferable to the clay huts in
which their neighbors live on the river
bank. No adornment of the interior is
attempted, excepting in the temples,
whose walls are whitewashed and COW
cred with rude paintings in lively col
ors, that under the bright light which
Is constantly burning gives these sa-
cred rooms quite a gaudy appearance.
The only particular advantage the un-
derground rooms seem to have is that
they are cool In summer and warm in
winter. The inhabitants are gentle and
even timid, and Mr.. Slosse said that, be-
ing unaccustomed to seeing whites,
they almost invariably disappeared in
to their caves when they saw any of
his party approaching. 1t was curious
to see them at a distance working in
their little fields above or below their
dwellings, only to find not a soul in
sight upon nearer approach. They
would all mysteriously sink into the
ground, and apparently there were no
human beings for a mile around, though
undoubtedly there were thousands of

ing at their doors for the footballs Of the

BUYING THEIR DESSERT.

Bookkeeping at Oxford University
Takes Up Minute Charges.
An American student at Oxford says
that in certain of the university col
leges a man may go for dessert to the
hall store; that Is, the room below the
dining 'hall' where the fancy grocer
les of the college are displayed for sale.
There are oranges from Florida and
Tangiers, apples from New England,
figs and dates from the Levant, prunes
from Italy, candied apricots from
France, and English dollhouse grapes.
All are spread upon the table. like a

announcing to the city that the king
had taken the oath.
King Alfonso, the queen regent and
the prince and princess of the As
turias withdrew from the chamber of
deputies with the same ceremonial
that marked their entry into the
building. and the procession was re-
formed and, proceeded to the San
Francisco church.
King Alfonso was met at the portal
of the church by the primate of Spain
and the Cardinal Archbishop of San
tiago de Compostela and twenty bish-
ops, all in the magnificent robes which

Eight priests bore a canopy over the
king as he advanced up the central
nave and took his seat on throne
placed beside a crimson velvet Gov

of the grand altar. A TIE Deum was
then cbanted, accompanied by a
grand orchestra.
The king left the church with the
same ceremonial as on his entry and
returned to the palace.
A manifesto proclalming the right
of Don Carlos to the throne of Spain

Senior Armijo then drew near to

the same time keeping open a book
containing the formula of the oath.
His majesty. placing his right hand

horses.
A detachment of the royal body
guard rode in front of the massively
gi1ded chariot termed the royal
crown" having gilt. allegorical figures
standing out in relief from the panels
and whose roof was surmonnted by
heavy, gilded crown. The gold-plat-
ed, nodded lamps of this carriage
were especially striking, being set
with imitation jewels. The hammer
cloth, wonderful piece of embroidery
work, is valued at $4,000.
The king and the queen regent were
seated side by side in the royal coach
and were accompanied by the Infanta
Maria Teresa, youngest sister of his
Majesty.
This coach was drawn by eight fine
speckled grays, in dark red harness
having heavy ormolu ornamentation.
Immense white ostrich plumes waved
from the heads of these horses.
The officers of the kings military
household and three squadrons of
the royal bodyguard closed the parade.
The procession proceeded at a
walking pace through the streets,
gay with color, and beneath festoons
of evergreen, which at some parts Of
the route formed veritable vaults of
foliage and flowers, to the chamber of
deputies, before the steps of which
had been erected a purple canopy.
A delegation, consisting of twelve
senators and twelve deputies, received
their majesties at the steps and, pre-.
coded by the macebearers, they were
conducted through the antioch bers.

The royal procession was formed on

of Deputies, where. in the presence of
the senators and deputies, the King
took the oath to uphold the constitu-

The procession was a spectacle of
medieval magnificance. Great grooms
