The wood-Pewee,s Song.

Mr.. Henry W. Oldys, who has made
a scientific study of bird songs, says
that the most remarkable instance of
appreciation of form in music comes
from the wood-pewee, a bird whose
structural development is not suffi
GENTLY advanced to entitle it to be
classed among the real song birds
Analysis of the ballad in human music
shows that repetition plays an i'm
Dortant part, and that the few phrases
that are required to make song have
a certain symmetrical arrangement.
The wood-pewee, with no other mater
ial than those few plaintive, discon-
nected phrases that haunt the mid
summer woods, has constructed on the
ballad plan set devotional piece for
its morning and evening prisons,
which it sings over and over in strict
time. as though there were so many
verses that had to be rendered before
it could utter the final amen.

If, Notwithstanding the vigilance Of
the Federal secret service, this wide
awake country is occasionally flooded
with counterfeit money it is natural to
expect that less watchful nations
would sometimes get into very serious
difficulties through the counterfeiting
of the currency. A case in point is
Korea, which apparently is the coun-
terfeiter's paradise. Part of the trou-
BILE arises from the attempt Of the gov
eminent to establish nickel coinage,
the intrinsic value of which is only
about one-eighteenth its face value.
Consequently nickel is Icing imported
in immense quantities. The British
vice-consul at Chemulpo is authority
for the statement that there are reg
ular market quotations on counterfeits.
For instance, the official coinage is
quoted at first class, the best counter
feits as second class, the medium
counterfeits as third class land the
poorest limitations as fourth class.

No Cement Like the Cradle.
(Thomas Wentworth Higginson.)

(Thomas Wentworth Higginson.)
For many years it has been my strong
est conviction in respect to divorce that
our statute books should nave a double
system OF laws in respect to childless
marriages as compared WITH tnOse where
the interests Of children were included.
In childless marriages, it is the inter
ests of man and wife alone which have
70 be consulted, but the moment children
appear the question becomes incompara-
bly, more difficult.
For childless marriages it seems to me
that divorce should be far easier; but
N the other case, the interests Of the
next generation become the primary OBJ
ject and the law should place much
greater obstacles in the way of separa-
ton.
During a tolerably long life, have
seen many instances where there seemed
for a time great incompatibiIity, but
where the unconscious influence Of these
young creatures gradually brought and
kept the parties together so tina di-
vorce would lave seemed a great calami-
ty, eve to those who might otherwise
have dreamed of it and were indeed tend
ing in that direction.
After all, there is no cement like a

The hounds were yelling like lost spirits

the uproar like a bagpipe. 1t was an

the voice of a countrywoman. and there
were frowzy remnants OF responsibility
about her general aspect.
And is it you, FURRY Knox, that's

me, in the midst of vast apologies, had
been permitted to squat at Shreelane
until my tenancy began, and having then
ostentatiously and abusively left the
house, they had, with the connivance of

connection with the outer world by

with the house in general and my whisky

THE LAMENTABLE FATE OF JOE
Joe Mush no appetite possessed
For meats and things, they held no
zest,
But through his life he only cried
For mush, nov anything beside.
Now listen to his tale of woe,
Since mush has made him Mushy Joe.
Much worried he, when all his teeth
Dropped out, above and exc beneath.
Straightway unto the Doctor hied,
DOC, see my teeth are gone!' he
cried.
The Doctor said: well, be it so
What need for teeth has Mushy Joe?"
He ate but predigested food,
And soon his tomach was no good.
The Doctor said with manner wise.
"Tis dead for lack of exercise!
I'll take it Quit" He did, and SO
No stomach then had Mushy Joe.
His bones grew soft from mush he ate,
His legs refused to bear his weight.
And 10! A happening most weird,
They shriveled up and disappeared,
Sans teeth, sans legs, sans stomach,
The world wagged on with Mushy Joe.
Then both his arms grew mushy, too,
And useless and more useless grew,
Until they shrank like unused wings,
And went the way of legs and
things,
The people gazed and cried: ooh!
OH!
| What will become of Mushy Joe?"
His spinal column shrank and shrank
His head into his body sank,
Sans legs, sans arms, sans teeth,
sans head.
Sans stomach-but a thing to dread,
An evoluted oyster, so
We take our leave Of Mushy Joe.
Good people, prithee. We who think,
To live upon no food or drink,
But mush and predigested chaff,
Give ear-nay, tbs no time to laugh
But read my tale, reflect, and so
A moral take from Mushy Joe!
