in her defense, said she intended to de-
clare the necklace but that she desired to
consult her husband on the steamship dock
before doing so. While she was talking to
her husband the treasury agent stepped up
and asked her to hand him the necklace,
which she was wearing at the time.
The necklace will now be sold at public

ALLEGED ASSAULT.
Boy Taken to Casualty Hospital fol
Treatment,

A small boy. named Bernard Burns, was
removed to the Casually Hospital by the
ninth precinct police yesterday afternoon,
suffering from an injury to his head Cath
crime Lucas, colored, twenty-seven years
old was arrested and held to answer for
the boys injury. Burns lives at 142 D
street southeast, and was on the street
near his home when, 1t is alleged. several
boys on the street were annoying the col
ored woman, and brick thrown by her
landed against the Burns boys head. The
doctors at the hospital found that the outer
covering of his skull had been fractured.
The injury is apparently not serious. Cath
crime Lucas will probably be given an OPP
portunity to explain her conduct to Judge
Kimball Monday morning.

The Inverted Comma.

"Mr Bernard Shaw will have the SYM
pathy of writers-and we should think of
compositors--in his protest against the
use OF the apostrophe,' says the London
Chronicle. HE has himself dropped it
ont of aint,' don't and 'shouldnt'-but
not out of 'hell'--before he wrote his
protest in "The Author" But why all
these inverted commas, the silly trick of
peppering pages with these uncouth ba-
cilli'? You viii find none of these bacilli

at random Now Jesus knew that they
were desirous to ask Him, and said unto
them, Do ye inquire among yourselves
of that | said, A little while, and ye shall
not see me; and again a little while and
ye shall see me- The modern compositor
would set that passage between two
brackets of inverted commas, for it is a
quote within a quote But it is beauti-

Biblical Misunderstanding no one we
think las been misled by the absence OF

Worse Than Bullets.

A regiment OF Scottish Highlanders,
during the heat of one of the early bat
ties of the South African war, were
suddenly seen to break ranks and run
in all directions says the New York
Times. The officers also shared in the
stampede, and apparently made no at
tempt to urge the men under them into
line.
Their behavior was n surprise to
everybody on the field, and after the
battle was over the colonel of the regl-
meut was summoned before General
Roberts.
What was the matter with your reg
iment" asked "Bobs."
We'll" replied the colonel, there is
not man in the regiment afraid OF
bullets, but we were steered into a field
literally infested with wasps' nests,
and you know, general, we were all in
kits and in bare legs
When this amusing confession Is in
corporated in regimental history it
Will not shake the strong foundation Of
song and story upon which the valor Of
the Scottish Highlanders rests. The
usual spirit was there in South Africa
so also were the wasps, and for oRce
the proyerbial weakness of the flesh
was not without excuse.

Royal Poultry Keepers.

Poultry keeping is one Of the modern
delights Of society. That it should be
so may puzzle those who base their
ideas on some disreputable type Of
farmyard hen, and who have never
visited big poultry show, where
fancy fowls are staged in all their
glory. No lover of the beautiful in
nature can fail to be impressed by the
delicate coloring Of some of these
ariStocrats OF the poultry world, the
exquisite markings and the quaint &C.
cenuricites of others. The arts and
sciences Of breeding may remain Il
closed book to us. But the wonderful
products of modern fanciers demand
admiration.
The Queen is the first poultry keeper
in the kingdom, and a regular exhib-
itor and prize winner at all the great
shows. one Of her favorte varieties
is the Siliie, a quaint little fowl, with
white plumage OF silky texture. The
King, If he is not actually a poultry
faDcier, has sincere respect for the
Slkie fowl, for they are wonderful
mothers for rearing pheasants and are
much in request at Sandringham. The
Queen also has some Of the tiniest and
smartest bantams in the country, and
their excellence from a show point Of
view is proved by the number Of prizes
they win-London NJ. A. z.

one of Them Escaped, somehow.

The wild pigeon, which existed in
countless millions forty or fifty years
ago, is practically extinct so far as this
country is concerned. Some idea OF
how it has become extinct may be
gathered from an incident which oc-
cured in Chicago.
The last wild pigeon seen in Chicago
so far as known. was encountered one
morning in 1894 by Edward b. Clark
