Cheeky Robins.

With one accord the farmers and truck

ment of the rascally robin. set forth in
yesterdays Record The cheeky. audac-
iousness Of these red-breasted robbers is
almost past belief. An owner OF a fine
stra wberry patch recently noted that a
robin that was raising family in near
by tree, instead Of carrying food to the
nest escorted his family direct TO the
patch, and. after RECALLING them with the
finest berries in sight. adjourned to the
nest for post-prandial nap Another far

ed bells in the limbs. The ringing when
the branches are in motion is usually suf-

A CORES DOndent writes to US suggest
ing the opening of the public parks Of
London from the present hour of closing
until II or u o'clock at night, In order
that men whose avoca tons detain them
until late hour may have the refresh
ing rest and enjoyment of nature which
the parks afford In order to meet any
extra expense involved. and to keep out
undesira bles, the parks committee of
the county council might, he thinks, is
sue tickets at a small charge to house
holders and persons of known reSpecta-
bility. who could be trusted to act as
guardians of the public property. The
only expense, our correspondent says,
that need be incurred would be for
gate keepers and for the lighting after
dark.
Unfortunately a matter of principle
appears to be involved. That is to say,
the parks are public property, support
ed out of the rates. and on that &C
count it would be difficult to exclude
any adult person unless he were yer

mons such as footing, Chaplain. Hanp-
stead Heath. WandsWOrth, Blackheath,
and so on. But in the case of parks
which close at o'clock or earlier ex

the employment of a It least as large

Southwark, Deptford, Maryon Park and

with our correspondents natural desire
to enjoy the recreation and rest which
the aspect of nature on early summer
nights afford we have deemed it right
to set out the difficulties in the hope
that if possible these may be overcome

The Rest Cure.

After work comes rest When they
alternate perfectly a man may prepare
to enjoy real happiness. When they al
ternate perfectly a man will enjoy both
he work and the rest that follows IT,.
Nature is a just old lady. She seldom
gives a man more than he needs. II he
elects to live a lazy life she lets his
muscles get fiabby and his brain go
sleepy. She never permits him to long
possess a faculty or a nerve OF q
muscle or a sinew that he does not Use.
The proper way to keep your muscles
or your brains is to use EN- up and let
nature provide you with a fresh supply.
Nature is assisted in this work by rest.
One may rest sometimes by seeking a
change in labor. Labor thus becomes a
ecreation-re-creat ton.
To live happily in this world 1t is not
enough to know how to work; a man
must also know how to rest The man
who knows only how to work viii soon
wear out. If he doesn't wear out i'm,
mediately his work viii suffer in some
way. No man can do his best work IN.
less he alternates it with a little play
or little rest
A man who can't drop his work from
his mind as readily as he can drop his
tools from his hands had better take a
few weeks off to study the rest quss-
ton. His nerves are not what they
should be.
If a man wishes to keep his nerve let
him avoid nerves.-Fittsburg Dispatch,

BEES SCARED THEM.
Swarm Tried to Settle on PeO-
pie on Kansas Avenue.

Excitement prevailed at Fifth street
and Kansas avenue at o'clock this
afternoon when a swarm of bees APP
peared and attempted to settle on pc
desrians at the intersection Of the
streets.
The bees circled around in the air for
a time before they made a move to set
tie. During the time they were in the
air they had the persons around that
locality scared.
J. A Ramsey Of No. 1911 West Sixth
avenue ran to quincy street and secured
some boughs from a tree and brought
them back to the corner of Fifth street
Giving part of the boughs to r. Law
renee of North Topeka they succeeded
in hiving the whole swarm. The bees
attempted to swarm on Mr.. Lawrence
back. At one time half the bees were
ON his back while the rest were on
the leaves of the boughs. They were
all safely hived without mishap.

ASYLUM FOR LEPERS.
Fine Work Being Done for the Victims
in Burmah.

In Burmah one grows callous at the
several and CHASTITY sights, as one sees
leprOSy in all its worst forms stalking
rampant through the streets and thor
oughfares. Ascending the steps of a
pagoda you rub shoulders with the vic
Tins. in the markets. on the streets you
jostle against them. and yet you do not
seem to feel the repugnance a stranger
not used to such sights would feel
Even we with long experience of
Burmah, find much that Is new and in
terestlng in the golden city, once the
citadel Of the lord of the white elephant
and the golden throne. But there is one
sight, one institution. one enduring me-
mortal, for which we are not indebted
to the past. The "ManaW Yanan,' the
Royal Garden, where St Johns Leper
asylum is situated. is the home of many
miserable creatures to whom even pa
rental doors are closed: it is the home
of the afflicted and the despised. the
home of hideous sights and Tepulsive
objects. Almost all the countries of
Europe are allied in the work of mercy
carried on at this institution; priests
and nursing sisters, who have given up
home and friends to minister to those
most miserable of creatures, are Joined
in their labor of love.
A visit to the asylum conveys a les
son of self denial that strikes one
speeches.. How dreadfully, meanly
selfish one feelsi 1t excites emotions
that cannot be imagined they must be
felt. To US to whom it has not been
given to understand such love the de-
votion that mandates a life on the altar
of self imposed duty seems madness
What buoys us up in our most difficult
tasks and our hardest struggles, the
hope Of success. is denied to the worker
in the cause Of the unclean leper What
hope is there of a cure following the
patient labors of the devoted attendant?
What gain, what profit, does he ac-
quire? Some such thought must as
suredly pass through the minds of the
unfortunate patients, for naught else
can account for the smile of doglike
love and affection that breaks over and
transfigures for moment their other
wise disfgured and hideous counte-
nances as they look upon the calm fea-
lures of their self appointed attendants.
