Years ago, before the corrupt prac-

tary candidate was %canvassing his con

While they were %conversing the would

A KentnoI.r summer outnt.

Many years ago Senator Blackburn
Of Kentucky was summoned to Wash
ington in the middle of June to look
after a small matter Of patronage.
His departure was 50 sudden and the
prospect of his staying more than a
day or two away from home so remote
that he carried with him only a hand
bag. But business heaped up IN him
after his arrival at the capital, and he
was obliged to telegraph back a re-
quest for a trunkful of summer cloth
ing. His little daughter happened to
be the only member Of the family at
home when his dispatch arrived, and,
thinking it her duty 10 respond
promptly, she packed n trunk and ship
ped it, first slipping n note inside, as
follows:
Dear Papa-I send you all the clothes ]
can find and hope you are well.
The trunk contained white
shirts, six winter s~carfs, n tooth
brush, one bowie knife and two re
volvers. II was a rueful outlook for
Blackburn. with the thermometer up
among the nineties. but he listened to
no preferred condolences. my daugh-
ter has done right" he said. "she
sent me what a real Kentucky girl re-
CARDS a suitable summe outfit for a
gentleman."-fIarper's Weekly.

By the seventeenth century golf in
Holland had become almost entirely a
winter game. The Dutch painters Of
the period seem to have found a pc
culiar fascination in winter scenes,
with their clear, bright atmosphere and
the moving clouds of figures in their
various occupations of sledging, skat-
ing or golf. AS might be expected,
mary a golfng scene is to be found
IN pictures by Van de Velde, Van der
Neer, Avercamp, Van Goyen and 9th
ers of their school. Several drawings
of this period showing single figures
or small groups give perhaps a better
idea of the golf of the time.-Connois-

The Germnn soIdier,s wnge.

One of the peculiarities about the
military service in Germany is the pa
ternal interest that the officers are re-
quired to take in the frugality of the
men. The pay Of the soldier is only
6 cents a day, but the army regula-
lions guard it jealousy. Each man is
expected to keep his money in a little
bag suspended from a string around
his neck, and any officer during in
spection may demand to have the bags
opened and their contents shown. If
it be found that a soldier is spending
his pay too freely-think of that. with
the pay at so low a mark-he is rep
rimanded and punished. He is COM
PEELED to make his pay cover his ex-
penses.

YOUNG RAVENS.
queer 8t0ry 6f Pa changing Color

-
queer STORY Of The Changing Color
of the Newborn Birds.
I have not learning enough to know
whether In the earliest times rarens
were accounted "~unlucky." IL so, why
were they chosen from among all the
birds OF the mir for the merciful err
rand OF carrying bread to Elijah in the
wildernessg Did they steal itl They
are given to thcfti Also in,thc written
word we are assured that God hear
eth the young ravens when they cry
out unto him." And nothing Of this
is said OF doves or Of any other white
or heavenly kind OF bird. An expla-
nation is given in the Egyptian COM
mentary on st. Luke In the Coptic
script by ~Epiphanius, A. ID. 36S-401.
The passage Is certainly very curious,
and l am permitted to transcribe 1t
here: "Why, then, did the evangelist
mention no name among the birds ex-
cept ravens only? Because the hen
raven, having laid her eggs and
Matched her young, Is wont to fly
away and leave them on account Of
llt nut VI tucu NoiVAf ANL Wien
hatched they are red in appearance.
Then the Nourisher of all creation
sends to them a little swarm Of In
sects, putting it by their nest, and
thus the little ravens are fed until
the color Of their body is, as it were,
dyed and becomes black. But after
seven days the old avens return, and,
seeing that the bodies Of their young
have become perfectly like their own.
henceforward they take to them and
bring them food Of their own ac-
cord"
1t is for naturalists to ascertain
whether or no this strange account
Of the young ravens holds coed in our
day.-Cornhill Magazine.
