n1mas and Porthos.

Dumas, like Balzac, was fond OF his
own creations. Among them all he
loved PorthOs best. The great strong,
vain hero was a child after his own
heart. one afternoon, it is related, his
son found Dumas careworn, wretched,
overwhelmed. what has happened 10

"Why?" "This morning | killed Por-

it! But there must be an end to all
things. Yet when l saw him sinking

A B,rl That Is Feared.

The elster Pica candat@ is a bird
that is respected and feared through
out south Germany. 1t belongs 10 tie
raven tribe and is about the size OIL
dove. with black and white feathers
and long. pointed tail. 1t builds us
nest in orchards, and its life is sacred.
If II is seen three times In succession
On the same house top in place remote
from its home 1t Is believed to be a
sure sign of death in that house II II
flies over a house where any one IS III
and gives its peculiar cry the SICK per
son is sure to die, but If it does not
scream the patient may recover. IL ~
better for the sick person If the plrd
does not come near. aa
No one-could be. hired. to bother these
birds for fear they might seek revenge,
and if nv chance one Of them should
die it is a sign of bad luck TO the own
er of the property where itwas found.
The bird is a valuable insect destroyer
and in this way probably more than
compensates for the fear 1t occasions
among the farmers.

A clever Method of Stealing.

An ingenious and successful trick
was played at London fat in broad
daylight. A gentleman rang the bell
at 3 o'clock and inquired whether Mr..
Grey was at home. "No, sir" said the
1anitor. "He rarely If ever comes back
from the temple before 8 o'clock
THAT is strange" returned the other,
"since l know he has an appointment
here with q Mr.. Johnson at 4 O'Clock"
Then he went his way.
At 4 o'clock to the minute Mr.. John
son called and, giving his name was
of course allowed to wait in Mr..
Grey's apartments, which he denuded
of everything of portable value in
ten minutes and then walked out, OBJ
serving as he passed the porter that he
could wait no longer.

To induce Humility In a Peacock.


If you wish to take the conceit out OF
a peacock pull out his tail feathers, and
as soon as he finds the glory OF his
plumage gone he becomes the hum
blest, most subdued and ashamed look
ing bird that ever walked the earth. n
peacock in full feather is so vain and
conceited as sometimes to be really
troublesome. Not satisfied with squall-
ing at the top of his discordant voice
and with parading up and down the
walks with expanded plumage, he Will
attack cats, dogs and even children and
has been known to seriously inJure
small boys or girls that were incau-
tious enough to venture within his
reach.
Plucking his tail feathers, however,
causes all his courage TO eyaporate.
He will sneak around the yard like a
whipped spaniel, will keep out of sight
as much as possible, and you will hear
nothing Of him until his plumage has
again grown.

Parrots Arc vegetarians.

Parrots are vegetarians. They live
chiefly upon a light but nutritious
diet of fruit and seeds or upon the
abundant nectar of rich tropical flow
ers. And 1t is mainly for the sake of
getting at their chosen food that they
have developed the large and power
full bills which characterize the fami-
ly. You may have perhaps noted the
most tropical fruit eaters, like the
hornbills and the toucans, are remark
able for the size and strength of their
beaks.-Cornhill Magazine.

 BEHIND IN RAGE
CRIPPLED AND LIMITING SHE COMES ACROSS THE LINE FOUR MINUTES BEHIND THE SLIPPERY NEW CUP HUNTER.

New York, July 3.-A sudden shift of wind today brought Sir Thomas Lipton's 8 former challenger crippled and limping across the finish line minus her club top- sail, only four minutes behind the slip pery new cup hunter, Shamrock III, after the latter had beaten her three minutes and twenty seconds. In twenty-six miles of a sall-stretching trial before the old boat was partly disabled
 The club topsaIl of Shamrock I broke at the top masthead. when she had four miles to sail. She was thirteen minutes behind the new boat when the damage was repaired and the race resumed. Be- fore the accident Shamrock III beat the old boat Az minutes running to leeward 15 miles, and nearly minutes in sailing along the leg close haulec.
 The new cup-seeker was hardly up to her standard today. Ordinarily, in light wind. such as prevailed, she Is ten min utes better than her namesake in a 15- mile run, but changes which had been made in her trim and reduction in her ballast had not improved her.
 The wind during today's trial was west. northwest at the start. shifting to west and then to south, southwest, and varied from two knots to about seven. The course was 30 miles long starting from the mouth of Gedneys channel and running fifteen miles dead to leeward and back to Scotland Lightship.
