Leslie's Monthly.


1t was curious to see how some of the
lazy birds would quickly make off with
the pebbles with which they build their
nests, and which through great care and
work, had been accumulated by one Of the
band, the moment the owner happened to
turn his back. The ostentatious attempt
of the culprit to look innocent when
caught in the act amused us nightly
The rightful owner of the pebble was sure
to pursue the thief and then the two
would fight desperately till blood covered
their Aippers Sometimes they stood UP
TO each other like pugilists. giving and
taking punishment like men, and they
exhibited surprising efficiency in the art
of hitting. Sometimes they seemed to re-
member the pebble, the cause OF the quar-
rel, but l noticed that the one who first
gave in generally walked off with the
pebble, while the other, blinded by sue
cess, was left with the honor. Meanwhile
the conqueror would return to his nest and
find that his kind neighborS had used the
opportunity 10 pebble their nests from his
possessions while he had been away strug-
Cling so valiantly to catch the thief Of one

EUROPE'S SMALL FIRE LOSS.

One-Tenth of What 1t Is Here-Bui1d-
inEs Are Almost Fireproof.
Losses by fire in European cities are
less than one-tenth of those in the cities
here, though in Europe the fire depart
ments, except in one or two instances,
are almost insignificant and on casual
survey wholly inadequate.
With a population of 100000, Paris
for years has had fire loss less than
Boston's. Budapest, with larger pop
ulation than Boston, lost less than one
tenth the amount last year that the
Massachusetts capital did.
Milan, with half a million inhab1t-
ants, loses on the average only $4,000
a year, and the total damage by fire in
Venice, where 100000 people live, was
only about $4,000. London's loss is
only about one-fifth that Of New York.
1t is not that the fire departments are
so very efficient in any of these Euro
pean cities, but because the buildings
are planned on lines which render them
practically fre-proof. Wood plays some
part in the construction of houses, but
brick and stone surround it invariably,
and experience has shown that elabor-
ate fire fighting forces are unnecessary.

He Showed His Contempt.

A short time ago portrait of Captain
Perciyal, former officer Of the navy,
was presented to the department. The
captain, who died in 1862, was an odd
character. He was known as Mad
Jack" Percival, because Of eccentrici-
ties which on many occasions brought
him in conflict with the naval authori-
ties. The portrait was sent by Mrs.
William Nicholson, but who she is the
department is unable to discover. Cap
tain Percival was sent to Morocco with
his frigate to bring back a cargo Of
jackases for the government, and in
order to show his contempt for the en-
ployment Of war vessel for such q
mission, on entering New York harbor
he ran in all his guns and placed the
head Of a jackass through each part
as the ship hailed in. The sight of
double row Of jackasses' heads protrud-
ing from the places where guns were
looked for created a sensation at the
time and Mad Jack" narrowly es-
capped reprimand.

Ten Children, All six-Fingered.


Unique in the history of freaks is the
six-fngered family of Dresbach, MINI.
The family now consists of Mrs. Gas
kill and ten children. The popularity
belongs to the mothers side.
Mrs. Gaskill's maiden name was
Olive Cooper. She doesn't know where
she was born, but the family is prob
ably Of New York origin. She remem-
bers only that she was a wanderer with
the Cooper family at an early age, and
that the Cooper family were basket
makers and vendors; they led gypsy
lives and crossed the continent from
New York to San Francisco several
times.
In the Cooper family there were ten
children. Five of them had six fingers
and five Of them had not. The great
est popularity is that every alternate
child, in point of age, has the extra fin
ger, and those who are not six-fngered
are blessed with an extra toe and those
who have six toes have webs between
their toes: The extra fingers and toes
have well-developed nails. Exactly the
same conditions are found in the Cas-
kill family. Mrs. GaskilI was married
to Zacheus Gaskill thirty-two years
ago, and has resided in Dresbach since
then.-St. Paul Dispatch.

Indian Wore Glasses.

~ noticed something the other day
that was to me in the nature of nov
city," remarked a prominent local
court stenographer who has spent con-
siderable time in a business way
among the descendants of the Ameri-
can aborigines. what struck me as
strange was my meeting here in Wash
ington with an Indian who wore eye
glasses. In the course Of all my ex-
periences with the red men l never
before observed Poor LO making use
of lenses to aid his sight Perhaps the
name Of this particular Indian has
something to do with his adopting
what is unquestionably very neces-
sary custom Of civilization. He bears
the cognomen 'Foggy Cloud and is a
member of the Chippewa tribe. All
the other Indians of my acquaintance
are blessed with keen sight Of the
most pronounced type and l do not re-
member hearing that any of them ever
had eve trouble of any character.

things" he meant much that is not or
dinarily grasped by readers Of his max
inns. Many persons think that it is the
things themselves that are not to be
scorned, which is, in a sense, very true,
for natural science as well as abstract
philosophy teaches that there can be
nothing, however infnitesimal, that
has not it's function and it's proper
place. The small things, however,
which the sage probably had most in
view are not concrete at all, or, if con-
crete, are not those which in their best
uses are complete in themselves. A diff
ferent definition would circumscribe
too greatly the profound lesson that he
taught. Many small things go to make
up a mighty whole. Many efforts go to
make up a wonderful achievement.
You may read Of geniuses accomplish
ing this, that or the other thing, at one
superb stroke. Never believe it. If 1t
may seem to have ben done at one
stroke, be sure that many were re
CURED. For every great act, whether
apparently spontaneous or not, there is
preparation; there are various stages OF
the process Of getting ready. Shak-
speare did not burst forth in a day
from the obscurity Of Stratford- on
Avon as a full-fedged dramat1st and
poet, the greatest that the world has
seen. Every literary work of value,
no matter how quickly it may have
been dashed off in the heat of final pro-
duction, is a result Of many things,
many thoughts and impulses, and is
not an independent act. One evil fruit
of romanticism, which ran riot in lit
erature in the early half Of the last
century, was the notion that genius is
a heaven-born gift which by itself can
achieve all that is achievable. 1t has
been discovered over again, If the
phraseology may be allowed, that gen
ius is the power Of utilizing to the best
advantage the many small things that
go to make up great whole Genius
itself is a product Of cumulative prod
ucts. The teacher meant that the day
in which time could be found for only

really great man knows how much he
owes to the perseverance with which
he sought to make gradual advances
towards his chief aim, when long, COM
polling strides were impossible. The
weak soul, in such a case, would have
faltered, delayed, probably given up,
or dilly-dallied until it would have been
too late to go on. Wherein genius
sometimes consists is the sense of pow
er to command the best that little
things and earnest though often inter
rupted efforts can afford. A few min
utes a day devoted to a special study
may make one the best qualified in it
Of any. No person with any claim to
culture should let a day slip by with
out at least an hour Of study or serious
reading The day Of little things be-
comes the day Of great things In the
long perspective Of time and action.

eter-give our neighbor planet celestial
displays not elsewhere known in the
solar system. These satellites travel
about the planet from west to east, but
Phobos, the nearer, makes a complete
revolution in seven hours thirty-nine
minutes, outstripping the planet in it's
rotation in twenty-four hours thirty-s six
minutes, and thus accomplishing the
unique feat of rising in the west and

The death of Thomas Prentls of
Massachusetts, United States consul at
st. Pierre, who with his wife and chill
dren persisted in the Martinique ca
tastrophe, recalls the story of how Mr..
Prentis was dropped form the consular
service a few years ago.
In Mr.. Cleveland's second term Mr..
Prentis was consul at Mauritius, where
he had married Miss Louise Fry, the
daughter Of wealthy English resi-
dent. According to the story, Mr..
Campbell, an American, who was en-
tertained by Consul Prentis during a
visit to Mauritius, spending some time
as a guest of the Prentis family, asked
President Cleveland, close personal
friend, to appoint him to Prentis' place.

The railroads also are planting trees,
although it cannot be said that they do
80 with any special reference to Arbor
Day. A New England company is set
ting out ten thousand catalpas and
some chestnut and black walnut sap
Hngs upon it's vacant lands. A Western
company is about to plant more than a
hundred thousand catalpas. Years
hence these trees will supply timber for
ties, posts and other purposes, and the
railroads are taking the long look
ahead. The country would be richer
In the future if the rest Of US would
exercise some such forethought, even if
we were to plant only ole tree for ev-
cry hundred trees that we cut down.
