THE ROBINS TRAGEDY.
Mother Bird Comes to an Untimely
Eud-Male Bird Rears Young.

End--Ma1e Bird Rears Young.
"A morning paper has an editorial
article on Devotion to Duty" The
hero is a robin, whose mate swallowed
a knottcd cord and died in agony,
says the Rochester ost-Exprcss. The
male bird, after seeking yainly for
her, took up the task Of raising the
young family and became mother as
well as father to the little birds. He
did his duty and deserves ali praise,
though newspaper notoriety may mot
move him to exultation; and yet,
there is another Rochesterrobin wor-
thy Of even greater admiration, a
mother bird. Acat notedthi robins
nest in a secluded back yard, and be-
gan to climb after the young ones;
but the vigilant mother was at hand,
flew down on the cats back and be-
gan pecking the marauder vigorous
The scene Of the glorious defense
was not without spectators, and sew
eral people who happened to be look
ingon clapped yigorouslyfor the gal
liant bird; and the amazed cat sour
ried away. BY the way, the kindly
writer inthe morning aperintimates
thatfherbird victim in his story swal-
lowed the knotted cord accidentally.
Alas! the supposition may be too
charitable. The chances are that
some thoughtless or malicious boy
baited the cordSNith bread, for this
fendiah device is familiar to many
a youthful sinner; and the yillaini in
abiga gsggedyi is sometimes q child, !.

ROYALTY AT THEATER.
Handsome Ante Rooms Annexed to the
RoYal Box.

Although royalty visits the theater
in much the same way as do less x
allied members of the community the
occasion is nevertheless marked by
certain special preparations, says the
London Daily Mail,
Among the outward and visible
signs thereof are the erecting Of an
awning outside the private entrance.
This extends across the pavement
and enables the distinguished visitors
t, alight from their carriages and en-
ter the building wrhout attracting
too much attention, from inc crowd
which always gathers at such times.
A few minutes before royalty arrives
a strip Of carpet is laid down and is
taken up again directly the party
have reached their seats.
On one occasion when there was
so large a crowd of onlookers that
it seemed as though his majesty would
be Inconvenience, the manager Of
the theater he was patronizing was
struck BY the happy hourghto Of hav-
ing the carpet ostentatiously placed
in position and removed almost inn
mediately afterwards. The plan sue
ceeded admirably, and the would-be
spectators melted away, firm in the
belief that the proposed visit was not
to be paid that night. Then the car
pet was laid again.
An adjunct of the royal box in ev-
cry London theater nowadays is an
anteroom to which the distinguished
visitors repair between the acts. At
Covent Garden, His Majesty's, the
Haymarket, Garrick, Days and
Wyndham's such rooms are fitted up
in an exceedingly handsome fashion.
The furniture in the one at the AL
hambra is valued at upwards of ST.
500.

What a Man Owes
His Children

Never before In all the long his
tory of the word was there time
when the call for educated men,
for trained men, for men of brains
and ability and balance, was so Or
gent as 1t Is today. 1t will be in
creasingly so as he days go Oh.
The man of today who does not
educate his sons and daughters to
the highest extent of his ability IS
condemning them to levels of med
iocrity In the generation TO succeed
him.
What do you owe your children?
The question of mans duty to the
world Is seeing that his children re-
ceive common education IS recog-
nized by law and therefore indis =
putabIe, but IS the common school
education going to be suflcienl
for your children's future neec!
The higher the degree OF learning
the better qualified will be the
future young man or woman to
meet the requirements of advanced
ideas and progress which mu
ever hereafter face them IN the
general struggle for existence. The
better and hig her the grade OF edu-
cation, the better the opportunity
