Bird. That Make Queer Noises.

The bellbird, or campaLcre, which Ia
found In South America and also In AZ
rica, can be heard at n distance OF
three miles Its note Is like the tolling
OF distant church bell and Is uttered
during the heat Of the day, when every
other bird has ceased TO sing and ma
ture Is hushcd and silent How the
bellbird utters this deep, loud note Is
not known, though 1t Is supposed that
a fleshy protuberance on its head,
which when inflated with air stands
up like horn, is In some way the
cause OF It,
The hornbill, n bird which is widely
distributed IN India, the Malay archt-
pelngo and Africa. has also n very loud
note. Its call has been described as
between the shrek of a locomotive and
the bray Of n donkey and can be heard
a distance Of about couple OF miles.
The barking bird also uttcrs very
loud note; indeed. It IS impossible to
distinguish II from the bark OF n dog.
Its English name. says Darwin, Is well
given, for | defy any one at first to
feel certain that n small dog Is not
yclplng somewhere In the forest. The
toucan has also the same popularity.

THR present Geneaal Assembly
may have some excuse for longer
existence, but it would be extremely
difficult to say what that excuse Is. 1t
has been in session some weeks and to
sum up what it has accomplished,
could be done by very poor ma,he-
matician with very small slate. AS a
"kilkenny cat" spectacular play it
may be termed a success, but the
people of Rhode Island are paying
good money for the wasted time.
Our legislators seem to forget that
they are representatives of the peo-
pie, who though long suffering and
patient will some day, like the
Todden worm, turn. 1t is mis-
aiken notion to put party interests
,bove everything else, and this is

CHARLOTTE CUSHMAN.
Bitter Ending of the One Love AnaSr
of the Famous Actress.

of the Famous Actress.
Charlotte Cushman, the actress, was
In love but once in her life. She met In
Cincinnati, where she was playing, an
actor named Clark, with whom she fell
In love. Through her efforts Clark was
advanced to leading man In the COM
pany, and the course OF true love ran
smoothly.
One night the actress met n strange
woman behind the scenes between the
acts.
The woman came up to her and ad-
dressed her thus:
"You are Charlotte Cushman, the
great actress. Haven't you got enough
men TO admire you without coming be-
tween man and wife and robbing me
OF my husbandr'
"Your husbandw cried Miss Cush-
man. getting excited.
"Yes, and you have taken or you are
trying 10 take him from me-" contin-
ued the ragged woman, looking Miss
Cushman full In the face.
"Who is your husbandT
Conrad Clark" replied the woman,
"the father OF this child" pointing TO
half starved, thin little child IN her
arms.
Miss Cushman started as II she had
been shot.
She went through her part that night
as usual-ncted It splendidly-brought
down the house; then, after the per
Torrance, she sent for Clark TO come to
her dressing room. Clark knocked and
then opened the door. She brought for
ward to him his wife and baby, who
had been Whiting in the dressing room
10 receive him.
Such reception! Charlotte Cushman
never looked or acted 40 grandly on the
stage I'm all her life as she did that
night I'm her dressing room. She waved
Clark awny with n greater majesty
than ever ns Queen Catherine she
waved away Cardinal Wolscy, and then
going TO her hotel probably she had
good crying spell.
But she never loved again.

ADVERTISE IN THE TINES.
The Trajectory OF n Thing.

The trajectory of thing Is the path
OF a bullet or anything else passing
through the air from the gun 10 the
place where II strikes. Generally the
word Is applied only TO bullets and can
non balls. In shooting at an object
near at hand you aim point blank, be.
cause the bullet practically reaches the
target before It falls at all, but when
you fire at n distant object you must
aim above It, so that the bullet may
have room to fall and yet hit the object
The desire Of every marksman ~ TO get
n trajectory as fiat as possible, so that
the bullet shall have no need Of falling
very far \ fiat trajectory Is obtained
by increasing the speed Of the bullets,
by diminishing their size and increas-
Ing the powder charge.

Evidence That They Possess Ps~uI-

His owner reached his destination aft

Next morning the captain took the
dog on deck with him. but was much
afraid he would jump of to the tow

handsome an animal would have been
In danger OF being stolen.
