Delhi. the Gem Market.

From Eliza Ruhamah Scidmore's Win
 ter India.'
 Delhi remains the center of all Indian art industries. The most skilful jewellers and gem-cntters, painters, carvers, em- broiderers and craftsmen whose crea- tions could tempt the purse or minister to the luxury of the greater and lesser moguls. have gathered there for centur- ies, and trade habits are but slowly broken. Along Chadni Chaunk plump merchants in snow-white clothes and tiny jewellers turbans invite one to their white-washed felt-noored inner rooms; and there, treading catlike in stockinged feet, they unroll gold and silver embroid- cries Kashmir shawls and camel 8 hair" stuffs, and cover the last Inches of floor space with jewels.
 Necklaces, girdles and queens orna- ments are drawn from battered boxes, scraps of paper cotton cloth or old fian- mel. Nothing seems quite as incongruous in this land of the misfit and the incon- gruous as the way In which the jewels of a rajah are produced from old bis- cult tins, pickle bottles and marmalade jars. One buys the gems of a temple goddess, and they are laid in grimy cot ton wool and packed in rusty little tin boxes of crudity inconceivable.

NONSENSE ABOUT ANIMALS.

What John Burroughs Thinks of the
 Thompson Seton Theories.
 For forty years have seen crows in winter in different parts of the country, passing to and fro between their rook cries and their feeding grounds, and I have never seen anything like leader ship among them.
 They leave their roasting places at daybreak and disperse north and south or east and west to their, feeding grounds, going in loose, struggling bands and silently, except in early spring, and they return at night in the same way, flying low If it is calm, ris- ing up or sheering off if they see gun ner or other suspicious object, but mak- ing no sound, uttering no signal notes. They all have eyes equally sharp and do not need to be warned. They are all on the alert.
 When feeding they do post sentry, and he caws when danger approaches and takes to wing. They do not dart into bush when pursued by a king bird or purple martin; they are not afraid of hawk; they cannot count six, though such araditions exist (Sil- yer Spot could count thirtyO; they do not cav when you stand under them in winter to turn their course, they do not drill their young, they do not flock to- gether in June; they cannot worry a fox into giving up half his dinner; they do not, so far as we know, have per- petual entries; they have no calls that, so far as we know, answer ao our words, Mount" Bunch" Scatter" Descend" Form Line,' Forage on these and other points my observa- tions differ radically from MT. Thomp- son Seton's.

NEGLECT OF ART EDUCATION.

President Butler, of Columbia univer- sity, defines education as a gradual ad- justnleht to the spiritual possessions or inheritances ofthe race, these inheri- tanees being literary, scientific, aes- thetic institutional and religious. With reference to the importance of the aesthetic inheritance and it's place in we'll rounded education, he says: we should no longer think of applying the word cultivated to man or woman who had no aesthetic sense, no feeling for the beautiful, no appreciation of the sublime, because we should be justified in saying, on psychological grounds. that that nature was deficient and de- fective. This great aspect of civiliza- tion j is necessary factor in adjusting ourselves to the full richness of human conquest and human acquisi- ton . we should see to 1t that the aesthetic inheritance Is placed side by side with the scientific and the lite rary in the education of the human child" Among the humanizing ele- ments of education as it should be or- ganized aesthetic insight and apprecia- ton rank high. Yet our figures bear testimony to what every one knows without tables of statistics, that art is neglected in the education of the Amer ican youth so far as the schools are concerned. The fact that high school seniors who can name on an average 57 statesmen know only 2.7 painters, soulptors and musicians in all the worlds history is too significant to re- quire comment. Is it a fair showing? Does it not indicate an overemphasis of certain lines of school work to the neglect of others, and to the perma- nent injury of pupils? Does it not in- dicate an overdoing of the literary side? Are we not too much enslaved to letters and books even in our hu- manizing? One may even ask, has the poet any just claim to so much more of the pupils time and interest, as indica- ted by the figures, than the artist who bodies forth his ideals on canvas or in stone?-Popular Science Monthly.

l hespeaks of certain old pine woods as ! the crows fortress and college: Here
 they find security in numbers and in i lofty yet sheltered perches, and here 1 they begin their schooling and are taught all the secrets of success in crow life, and in crow life the least fail-
 ure does not simply mean begin again.
 It means death.''
 Now the idea was false one before MT. Long stole it, and he has pushed it
 to such length that it becomes simply ridiculous. There is not a shadow of truth in it. It is simply one of MT. Thompson Seton's strokes of fancy. The crows do not train their young. They have no fortress. or schools, or colleges, or examining boards, or di- plomas, or medals of honor, or hospi- tals, or churches. or telephones, or pos tai deliveries, or anything of the sort. Indeed, the poorest backwoods hamlet has more of the appurtenances of civil ization than the best-organized crow or other wild animal community in the land!
 There is school of woods, just as much as there is a church of the woods, or parliament Of the woods. or a so- ciety of united charities of the woods, and no more; there is nothing in the dealings of animals with their young that in the remotest way suggests hu- man instruction and discipline. The young of all the wild creatures do in- stinctively what their parents do and did. They do not have to be taught; they are taught from the jump.
 The bird sings at the proper age, and builds it's nest, and takes it's appropri- ate food without any hint at all from it's parents. The young ducks take to the water when matched by a hen as readily as when matched by 8 duck, and dive and stalk insects, and wash thenl- selves just as their mothers did. Young chickens and young turkeys un- derstand the various calls and signals of their mother the first time they hear or see them. At her alarm note they squat, at her call to food they come, on the first day as on the tenth. The habits of cleanliness of the nestlings are established from the first hour of their lives. When bird comes to build US lifSl HSSI pO ItdT US HTSJ pTOOus IL knows how to proceed. as well as it does years later, or as it's parents did before it. The fox is afraid of trap before he has had any experience with it, and the hare thumps upon the ground at the sight of anything strange and unusual whether its mates be within hearing or not. It is true that the crows and the jays might be called the spies and informers Of the woods, and that other creatures seem to un- derstand the meaning of their cries, but who shall presume to say that they have been instructed in this vocation? Mir. Long would have us believe that the crows teach their young to fly. He might as well say that the rooster teaches it's young to crow, or that the cock grouse teaches the young males to drum. No birds teaches its young to fly. They fly instinctively when their wings are strong erough.-John Bur- roughs in the Atlantic Monthly.

Hyperion Theate~.

= Mrs Langtry has been presenting at 1er theater in London number of suc- cessful plays, but she achieved her greatest success in "Mademoiselle Mars" in which she will appear here for one night, Monday, Auril G. "Madem- oiselIe Mars" was written especially for the. famous English actress by Paul Kester, who dramatized "The Caval- fer" When Knighthood Was in Flow er," and who is the author of a number of successful plays. The play ran for over 150 nights in London and provides Mrs Langtry with an adnirable1ole, ill which he talent and beauty are display ed to great advantage.
 Mademoise1le Mars, actress of the Comedie Francaise, woman of the world, wit, a handsome daredevil at one mo- 1nent the soul of comedy, at the next, defiant and tragic, has to fight, single handed, the greatest brains, the best recognized tacticians in the whole of the revolutionary period. It is a case of one down t'other come on. Napoleon Borlaparte, a demon with his war paint on, but weak where women are con- cerned the astute and interruptions f the manager of the Theater Francais; Talma, the actor; the jealous actress ri- val, Mile Leverd; all the Napoleon fam fly, mother and sisters; all the soldiers and governors, bribable and unbribable; all the Bourbon faction, and all the Napoleonic dynasty, are as wax in the hands of this marvellous woman. Few parts have been better written in mod ern times with such grand opportunities for the star actress as NH Mars.
 Mrs. Langtry, given her opportunity, comes to the front at once. It is no case of wearing lovely dresses here, and no more, though she is a perfect Empire picture in every scene. Mrs. Langtry understands that the character is infi- nitely interesting in its variety. Her comedy wakes up the house and arouses 1t to interest. her refined insolence to her enemies. or those of her lover are charming. Her voice has gained such strength and mellowness that she car- ries off the more dramatic scenes with

It tells a simple story of southern folk whom it is not difficult to imagine might have had an existence, might even have passed through the trials and hardships depicted by the play. A scenic investi- ture; complete for the four acts of the play, is carried. Capable people are announced as employed in the several roles, and a good, praiseworthy enter tainment is sure to result one to which you can take your wife, sister or sweet heart without question as to the pro- priety.

The announcement that DeWolf Hopper and his magnificent company are to ap- pear here in MT. Pickwick on Tuesday night, April ', at the Hyperion, fresh from a three months run at the Herald Square theater, New York, is an event that is sure to attract the attention of theatergoers, book lovers and admirers of Dickens. MT. Pickwick has been the sensation of the present season in the theatrical world. Its comedy is so de- lightfully quaint, refined and unique; it's characters so true to the famous conception of Dickings and Cruik- shank; the atmosphere of the days of the celebrated MT. Pickwick, and his contemporaries so delightful, that it ap- peals not only to the usual theatergoer but to every person that enjoys the celebrated English authors most fam- ous work. The company which supports MT. Hopper contains some of the very best talent to be found in the theat- rical world. Digby Bell, the celebrated comedian, who for many years starred at the head of his own organization ap- pears as Sam Weller: Grant Stewart, the writer of the lyrics as Alfred Jingle; Henry Norman as Tony Weller; Mar guerite Clark as Polly.
