These who shed tears most copiuusy over
the wrongs OF Porto Rico when the Porto

years ago are displaying the utmost ipdif :
ference to the fate OF Cuba. LittIeEeld of
Maine is one Of the most vehement oppon-

from Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska and
California soho clamored for free trade with
Porto Rico are deAouucing any tariff con

the fact that the suggestion was made by

The Birds in Washington.
Editor Rochester Post Express.


I have read from week to week in your
column, "At Home and Abroad about the
birds. 1t is always Interesting to me, for
I am a bird lover and on the watch wher-
ever 1 am for a new song or a feathered
stranger.
Last Sunday we went out to the zoo, as
It is called. 1t was a beautiful day, and the
park was just budding into green. The
animals were attracting the people in
crowds, but as for me, I was more inter-
ested in a cardinal bird. He was glorious
bit Of color as he sat in the topmost
branches of a tree. Before we came to
his locality, heard a long and rather loud
whistle and 1 said to my friend, rs that
a boy or a bird?" We decided that it must
be boy and walked on. But we heard
1t again and soon discovered that the sound
came, not from boy on the ground, but
from bird in tree. His red dress and
his crest are easy marks by which to dis
tinguish the cardinal bird. and he Is GER
tainly handsome fellow and fair singer.
1t Is difficult to describe his song, though
he gave us fine performance before he

the White House grounds the grackles seem
to be holding sway. We saw many of them

HE WAS WARNED.
Why President Postal Acted So Dis
creetly That Day.

President Fred Postal of the Washington
Base Ball Club of the American League
and Mr.. Wilton ]. Lambert, the clubs at
torney, visited the East Capitol street Of
fees of the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company the early part of this week
for a conference with the company's off,
GERS, the desire being to secure increased
railway facilities to and from the ball
grounds. Just as the car on which the pair
were passengers passed the Library Of
Congress building a well-dressed woman
of middle age leaned forward and attracted
the attention Of Mr. Postal by tapping him
lightly on the shoulder.
'The old man with the long white beard
standing in the aisle beside you desires me
to convey to You a warning announced
the woman, with a sepulchral voice.
Il beg your pardon?" remarked Mr.. Pos
tai, tnquiringy, after establishing to his
own satisfaction that no such elderly gen.
tleman was on the car.
You must beware" whispered the
woman. THE old man urges that you be
careful of all you say and do until sun
down today"
The president of the Washington Base
Ball Club turned slightly pale as vision
Of the supreme court of Pennsylvania
flashed before him and he recalled the rul-
ing in the Lajoie case, and the rumors Of

hard and deigned no reply the woman VOL

been hard task for me to bring about this
manifestation In daylight and in public so
be very careful what you say and do until
sundown."
THANK you, madam" remarked Mr.
Postal, as he and Mr.. Lambert alighted
from the car. A moment later he asked
the attorney: Us this a common occurrence
in Washington
Mr.. Lambert replied in the negative It
is stated that Mr.. Postal was quite solemn
and unusually discreet until after the sun
had disappeared that evening.

Scotch Wit,
From the London News.

From the London News
The Peoples Friend cites the following
as sample of characteristic Scottish wit
keen, grim and caustic": A certain par
ishioner dealt in old horses. altering his
spells of labor with heavy sprees. During
the period of depression which followed
each overindulgence John habitually took
to bed. and there diligently studied the
family Bible. During one of these fits Of
attempted reformation his condition
prompted his wife to call in the Rev. Mr.
Wallace. the parish minister. who at the
time happened to be passing.
"Oh, Master Wallace. come in and see
COR John; he's rale bad"
Whats wrang wi him?''
Hes feart to meet his Maker" said
Mrs. John.
Quick as FIRE came the crushing reply:
'Humph: telFm he medina be feart for
that; he'll never SEEM"
There are some good stories of this kind
in DR.. John Kerrs Memories, Grave and
Gay" just published by Messrs Black
wood. Here Is one: She had just lost her
husband. and the minister calling to con-
dole with her found her sitting in front of
a large bowl Of porridge. Terrible loss
terrible loss" sighed the minister. Aye"
was the reply, 'it's a terrible loss to be-
I've just been greetin' a NIGHT, and as sumo
as finish this wee drap porridge I'm Just
gaun to begin again."

An African Night.

From The COrnhiI.
From the bush rose the death scream Of
some animal in the grip of its pursuer,
jackals 5selped in the distance. or the pro-
longed howl Of hyena broke out close at
hand. A wakeful boy initiated it de-
risively; the SHORES gave place to a re-
newed murmur of talk, the askari flung
another log on the smoldering fire. Not al
ways did the land lie silent. I have known
sleep made difficult by the antics of hum
dreds of zebra. who thudded hither and
thither on the plain like diminutive cav
alny. and cried in succession of little
barks, worried perhaps by finding the camp
between them and their accustomed water
ing place. In some districts when on wet
nights rain had swamped the fires, ZOO
logical garden of ''questing beasts" was
apt TO foregather round the tents Thus
hyenas jackals, three lions, and a brace
of hippopotami contributed intimately to
one seance that wot of. and as the dark
ness was too thick for vision. that night
yielded but scanty peace. Hippo are at all
times awkward things to get raveled up in
the tent ropes.

The Mitre.
From Notes and Queries.


The mitre seems to have sunk into disuse
in post-reformation times. except as an
ornament ensigning the arms of the differ
ent sees, though now 1t is being revived
and worn by some Of the bishops Of the
Anglican Church. Sir Bernard Burke,
whom every one must allow to be high
authority on heraldic matters. merely as
signs the ducal coronet to the See of Dur
ham, and omits it from the arms of CAN
terbury and York, where it is usually
placed, and the coronet. from It's having
been thus used, l suppose, entities them to
be styled your Grace"
Samuel Seabury, the first bishop Of the
American Church. consecrated at Aberdeen
in 1874. wore the mitre, thus described by
Arthur Cleveland Coke in his Christian
Ballads"
The mitre with Its crown Of thorn
Its cross upon the front;
Not for proud adjoining worn,
But for the battles br,Int;
This helmet, with salyation's sign,
OF one whose shield faith

HUNTING BEE TREES.
There's Knack in Locating the Store
of Honey

Il used to hunt the bee trees when I was
a boy in northern New York" said Assis-
tant Secretary Taylor of the Treasury De-
partment. 1T is great sport and requires
art to find the home OF the bees and Sc
cure the honey. Wild bees invariably hunt
the hollow of some tree in which TO make
their home and store up honey for the
winter season.
The way L used to find out where a bee
tree was located was by going into the
woods and fields and taking with me a
little box containing a lid, in the bottom
of the box being some honey. With this
little box in my left hand 1 would slip
along through the trees and bushes until
found bee sucking honey from some
wild flower. Taking off the lid of my box
L would quickly knock the bee into the
bottom on the honey. cover it with the lid
and let it remain there until it had filed
itself with honey. Then pulling of the
lid. would allow the bee to fly out.
The little insect would generally crawl
out on top of the box, look around to get
its bearings and then fly of in the direction
Of the tree. BY watching this direction L
could get an idea of where the tree might
be located. But / always remained in the
same spot until the same bee came back
again and of it's own accord entered my
box for the honey. Frequently die bee
would bring companion with it, Some
times it did not do so on its first trip back.
but always on the second il brought one
or more companions. They enjoyed the
honey very much, and, by watching them
fly away, 1 was soon enabled to tell for
certain the direction of their tree. Then
moving two or three hundred yards in the
right direction / would catch another bee
and go through this operation with ii and
so on until got within sight of the tree it
self and saw the bees swarming out at the
top. After this there was no trouble cut
ting down the tree and getting the honey,
which, 1 believe is the sweetest in the
world Yes. / can remember my bee hunt
ing paStime with great pleasure"

rom Chambers Journal.

To the popular mind all astronomical re-
search ought Of necessity to be concerned
with the important questions whether there
are men In the moon and Inhabitants In

turns a decided negative: there Is no life on
the moon; and probably no life. either veg
etable or animal. existed at any period Of
human history. To the second the answer
is, we cannot tell. There may be men in
Mars and there may not The conditions Of
life there do not preclude the existence Of
human beings. We have I'm Mars rain and

towns and cities in Mars. Should ever such
