BIRD SHEEP HERDERS
A Crane of the Amazon Which Docs
 the Work of Deg.

The natives Of Venezuela end ad- joining countries on the north side of the liver Alna"on often avail them selves of tAo services cr q native crane to care for their poultry. and also in the place of collis.s or shepherd dogs use.t by North American Indians and Euro2- t.:.ns to guard and her,. their domestic animals. This remarkable bird. which the Indians call yak2nik and the orn- ithologists Psophia Crepitans, is found in wild state in the great forests that lie between the northern coasts Of South America and the Amazon river. p2rticua1ly in Venezuela and British Guiana. The birds never leave the forests unless shot or captured.
 They travel abcut in nocks Of from 100 to 200 in search of the berries. fruits and insects upon which they subsist Their usual gai- is Q slow and stately march. but they enliven themselves from time to time by leapirg up into the air, executing eccentric and fancy waltzes, and striking the most absurd and preposterous attitudes. If pursued, they enGeavor to save themselves by running, for their flight is so weak, ac- cording to SchC:3iburSl1, that when they attempt to fly ever body of water Of any considerable width they are often obliged to drcD upon it and save them selves by swimming.
 When alarmed they utter the cry which has obtained fer them the, name Of trumpeters. The sound Is something like that produced bv q 9erson endaav- bring to shout the syllable tow, tow, tow, tow, toH,'" with his mouth shout or the GoIeful noise made by children on New Years day with their trunpets, The yakamiks usually deposit their eggs in Q hollow in the ground. often at the feet Of Q tree.
 A nest generally contains ten eggs, of q pale green cC!or. The young birds follow their mothers as soon as they are matched. but do net lose their pret- ty down covering until several weeks old. The yakaGlihs are very readily tanned, and prove valuable servants to the Indians. who Gomesticate them, and as they are courageous and will pro- tect animals intrustcu to their care at every risk to themselves, even d5gs ars obliged to yield to their authority.

HE WAS A REAL HERO
Sam Davis Exploit Recalled by Kan
 sas Cityan.

At Nashville monument is to be erected L. Sam Davis. yours ConfeG- crate hero who Was executed at Cor inth, Tenn, November T, 1863, at the age Of 19 years.
 This is thc'story as annouEced in the press The Gcarth of detail makes it uninteresting to most readers. To Uncle sammy Morse of 17l6 Wash ington avenue, the brief item con. eya q world of meaning in the memories or the execution of the spy that 1t prlnSs back. For MT. Morse was then a sci dier on guard duty at Corinth under the command Of Colonel Wilcox, of the Fifty-second Illinois infantry, who later completed the march to the sea with Sherman
 Mir Morse remembers the capture and execution of the Confederate boy who was hero then and who is now to be recognized as such. He made the rude box into which the dead body o1 the soldier of the Confectionery was placed when it was delivered to the brother who claimed: it.
 Young Sam Davis was arrested as spy said MT. Morse. He was under orders Of General Bragg, and operatel around Missionary Ridge just prior t2 his capture. It was a hazardous ven- ture, that which Davis took as a spy for Bragg. Several of the spies of tn, rebel chieftain had been taken already when Davis assumed the risk. It was '1ot long before the result that he might have and proba bly, did foresee came to rass. Davis and his fellows were cap tured by the Seventh Kansas cavalri called the Jayhawkers. The Kansas men caught more spies than any otEer regiment that campaign.
 Davis was placed in jail ct Pulaski, after having been relieved of important papers, among the others a letter to General Bragg. which was found in his shoe. It was from Captain Coleman of the scouts and gave accurate descrip- ton of the conditions in and around Nashville. It was not believed that Davis was the head of the spies and lie was taken before General Dodge end informed of the grave nature of tlle case against him. He was offered clemency if he would tell who was the real spy. the man under whom he was worlling-for he was just boy and they did not want to execute him. Davis never wavered an instant. Col onel Shaw. who was the chief of the spies, was in jail with Davis, on suS- picion only. The only discriminating evidence had been found on Davis Shaw was in tremor Of excitement all the time for fear that he would be exposed. But the story was locked in the boys breast and he would sooner die than tell it. He did die on the scat- fold-he had expected to be shot. but the other death was given him. On the scaffold he had an opportunity to tell of the real head of the secret service in the Nashville campaign, but he steadfastly refused to the last.
 That is why" said MT. Morse, "the

DISREPUTABIE AND POW ERFUL
Leopold II. of Belgium Has Most
 Power of All Monarchs.

1t is q remarkable fact that of all the constitutional monarchs in Europe the most disreputable has the most power. We refer. of course, to King Leopold II of Belgium. whose escapades have been for many years of q kind in com
 parison with which those of Louis XV were conducted with discretion and en- Veloped in mystery. Strange to say. although. from ore point of view, his life has been one which would debar him from any respectable middle class household in England O. the United States. the masses of his subjects coul1 not if they were Moslems regard his sexual diVagat:ons with more indulg- ence. The recent attempt to assassi- nate him undoubtedly added to his popularity, and probably has pro longed the life Of his dynasty. It is nc longer true of Leopold II that he reigns hut does not govern. The Bel gian sovereigns were figureheads years ago. when the old fashioned liberals were in power, under the leadership of N. Frere- Orpan, but since the conserV- atives, who are almost exclusively Catholics. have had no formidable riv- als except the socialists, the kings personal Influence has become politi- cal factor of the first magnitude. He is even more powerful today in Belgium than George III was in England during the first twenty-fCur years of his reign. Not content with the exercise of indi- rect and surreptirious pressure through the responsible ministers. lie has cf late not hesitated to place himself in direct and open relation With the people and the peor.le's representatives in the

THEY LIVE IN SILENCE.
C6rm site Order, a Relic of Mediae~
val Times, La showing some
Growth In This Country.

Prayer, penance, fast and silence
Turing all the 365 days of the year, is
the manner of life of an order of wom-
en- who have just established another
branch of their institution in the
United States. They are known as the
discalceated nuns of Mount Carmel
and are followers of the Church of
Rome. Despite the fact that this
strange order of women is a relic of
the medieval age, and that the daily
routine of their lives is entirely con-
trary to the dictates of modern civili-
zation, they are gaining a strong
foothold in this country, and their
converts and numbers are steadily IN
creasing.
In gloomy looking old house on
Poplar street, just west of Fifteenth
street, in Philadelphia, they have
opened, or, more properly speaking,
have entered and closed, another con-
vent of Mount Carmel. In it are clois-
tered six young nuns. There are also
two lay sisters, who attend to the
business of the institution. These six
choir nuns, as those taking the per-
petual VOWS are called, have never
since the day of their profession en-
tered the world, nor come in contact

this remarkable story is yet to be told.
few months after this Lieut.. Paine
was in Washington, where he learned
that the officer whose life he had so
gaiiantly saved had been taken pris-
oner by the union forces and was then
confined in the Old Capitol prison.
Paine visited his friendly f De- at once.
and supplied all his wants, except his
want of liberty. The gallant Maine
oavalryman visited Gen. Martindale
then in command of Washington, and,
telling his story, interested him at
once in the prisoner. The conse-
qnence was that Capt. Henry was pa
rolled and allowed to return to the
south.
These gallant young soldiers fought
ON opposite sides till the war was end
cd. when they sought each other out.
and since then their relationship has
been that of brothers between whom
no sign Of strife has ever passed.

A GALLANT DEEDS RETURN.
An Act of Splendid Courage Amply
Rewarded and the Lifelong
Frben dship II Made.

In the movement of Stoneman's
cavalry in the fall campaign of 1862,
the advance was led by Lieut.. Paine
of the First Maine cavalry.
Being separated by a considerable
distance from the main body, Paine's
command Unexpectedly encountered
vastly superior force of the south
ern troops, and his whole party were
taken prisoners.
They were hurried off as rapidly
as possible, to get them out of the
way of the advancing union forces,
and in crossing a deep and rapid
stream, Capt. Henry, commanding
the confederate guards, was swept
off his horse, and being unable to
swim, sank at once. relates the Amer
ics Fri une
His own were so bewildered
THAT they did not make move to save
him, But Lieut.. Paine showed that
misfortune had neither deprived him
of courage nor of presence of mind.
Quick as fash, he threw off his coat,
plunged into the current, and, seizing
the drowning man, he swan with him
to the shore, and thus literally cap
tured his captor.
Paine was sent to Richmond with
the rest of the prisoners, and the facts
being made known to Gen. Fitz-
Hugh Lee, he wrote statement of
them to Gen. Winder, then provost
marshal at the confederate capital.
Winder ordered the instant release of
Lieut.. Payne, without even parole,
ants sword was even returned to
him, and guard of honor, with a flag
OF truce, gave him safe conduct to the
lines of his friends.
Men capable of such splendid conduct
should never have had cause to fight
each other; but the strangest part of
