EARTHQUAKES DAUGHTER UNA.
Novelist's Close Study of Human Ma
 ture Is Illustrated.

very delightful glimpse of Haw- thorne's little harp-souled Una" is given by Col. T. W. Higginson in an article in The outlooks July magazine number, called out by the Hawthorne centenary celebration of this month. In heretofore unpublished letter Hawthorne. wrote of Una, as Colonel Higginson says, In such a way as to illustrate foricbly the way in which the shy and reticent author ap- piled minute personal observation to the few human types with which he came closely in contract. Thus in one letter he writes
 There is something that frightens me about the child. I know not whether elish or angelic, but at all events super natural. She steps so boldly into the midst of everything, shrinks from noth- ing has such comprehension of every thing, seeming at times to have but lit- tie delicacy and anon shows that she possesses the finest essence of it; now so hard. now so tender. now so perfectly unreasonable. soon again so wise. In short, I now and then catch an aspect of her in which I cannot believe her to be my own human child, but a spirit strangely mingled with good and evil, haunting the house where I dwell
 Una, I think. does not possess humor, nor anything of the truly comic; she can- not at all bear to be laugned at for any thing funny that she perpetrates una wares and when she tries to be funny, the result Is seldom anything but an ec- centricity-a wild grimace-an unnatural tone; her natural bent is towards the passionate and tragic. Her life at pres ent is a tempestuous day, with blinks of sunshine gushing between the rifts of cloud. She is as full, oftenIimes, of acerbity as an unripe apple, that may be perfected into mellow deliciousness hereafter She has very strong craving for sympathy, and yet hundred times day she seems to defy sympathy, and put herself in position where she knows she cannot receive it.
 Her beauty Is the most fitting, tran sitory, uncertain, and unaccountable af- fair that ever had a real existence. It beams out whenever nobody expects it; it has nysteriously passed away when you think yourself sure of 1t.

Owl Wanted Helmet.

Did you ever have dream come true? Particularly very ridiculous one? I have had several come almost entirely true even to small details. But an ex- ceedingly absurd one has just had odd reproduction in an event here that Is causing considerable amusement. One night l dreamed I was an owl, not lit- tie downy of the kind Shelly, the poet liked-the Aziola--but an enormous owl of the kind our President prefers-a strenuous owl with wings about five feet from tip to tip when spread and with a hoot somewhere between the whoop of an hilarious Highlander and Cape Cod foghorn. l, huge dream-owl, went ca- reering through a great park In the dead of night and suddenly espied a policeman under tree Glee possessed my owl-soul. Here was a chance to secure the guardian of the peaceful scene. With a grand to-whoo 1 bounced upon his hat and bore it away in my talons, while he screamed and jumped about wildly beating the air with his night-stck. The noise of my hoot woke me up: 1 was owl no longer, but a mere man, laughing at dream.
 We'll, few nights ago under a huge oak tree in Bronx park peaceful police man, new on the post was standing
 wondering possibly how soon the lid would be lifted, when suddenly a vast bird swooped on his head-gear. Though taken by surprise. he fought the game bird back right gamely and managed to catch hold of one of Its legs. Then he swung his night-stick but the bird in- stantly reached for his scalp and claw ed his face so badly and buffeted him with its wide, strong wings so we'll he had to let go and ran shrieking Tor nelp into the station house near by. Who done you up like this?" asked the sergeant. "Begorrah, to my sorrah, sir,I tried to fight with an American agle who tuck a fancy to my helmet. l wish I'd let the haste have it an be damned to himr' Twas no eaglebird ye shamrock" said the sergeant, " Twas the owl; the big Bronx owl. We've been gunning for him here this last month You're the second victim. A young girl who was listening hard to tale of love month ago under that same oak had her hat torn from her head and went nearly crazy. Go and put some plaster on your mug and have your revolver ready tomorrow night. The scalp ing old thief will come again for ye, sure.'

Raven In the Bronx.

Speaking of the glorious Bronx park, where the starlng, recently imported sings by day and the owl ululates by night, there Is another bird up there of even more interest. But he is stuffed and adorns with his solemn parsonic pres ence, the pretty library of the Bronx Republican club. He is a big raven and the tradition Is that he was in lire the property of Edgar Poe and the inspira- tion of his most popular of poems, "The Raven Poe in his Fordham cottage now part of the park and preserved Sy the efforts of the Shakespeare society, through the initiation of either Appleton Morgan or Fearing Gill used to have a pet raven. and it is believed that whei he left for that journey south, wfI-cf ended in his tragic death by knockout drops in Baltimore he gave this river into the care of a neighoor.

One of the charges which white men bring against the negro is that the odor emanating from him is the re- verse of pleasant and occasionally in hot weather, is almost unbearabie The Cau- casian never pauses to think that pos siply the odor of his skin is by no means pleasing to the sense of smell of the negro or the Indian Nevertheless, 1t is stated that the smell of the white man is not so fragrant to the negro as is imagined, but is, in fact, objectionable to a de- gree. A Japanese medical man has pub lished a treatise concerning the odor of the Occidental races declaring that it takes some time for the Oriental to be- come accustomed to it.

MRS. WHEREFORE ATTENDS
|ST Congregational CHURCH.

We heard an interesting sermon At the
First Congregational Unitarian church
yesterday morning. which was preached
by the minister, the Rev. Augustus M
Lord.
The quartet sang a beautiful song be-
fore the service, which wound UP with
the familiar tune and words.
Lord. God. Almighty,
Merciful and mighty"
And when the service was finished Toll
Grafton said as how he allowed the first
song was the most classical OF the whole
lot that was sung.
Why" says I, 'the last soprano solo
was counted the real classical sort. The
irst was only q smstterin' OF hymn

but ~ you had been educated 10 enjoy
the higher class OF music you most
likely wouldn't have been stirred by so
common a song"
Wal" says he. "I sin't agoin' ter say
taint so, but it's my notion that this

music Is a good deal like educaun' your
taste for tomatoes. After you've got
your taste all fixed. you feel as II they
