Rousseau's AHectation.

Rousseau lived long on his fifth floor
in Paris, forgotten by the world which
he affected to despise and from affec-
tation really Stunned, when an acci-
dent happened to him In one of his
solitary walks. He was met in a mar
row part of the street by NJ. de Far
geau. driving very fast in his carriage,
and in his attempt to get out of the
way was pushed down by large Dan
ish dog running before the horses. M.
de Fargeau Immediately stopped his
coach and FASTENED to assist the per-
son whom his dog had thus knocked
down, but when he saw II was the
author Of "Emillus" he renewed his
apologies and attentions.
The next day he sent to ask after
Rousseau.
"Tell your master to chain up his
dog" was the only answer.

why birds Are Easily Poisoned.

Birds seem to have no discrimination
whatever in regard to poisons, proba-
bly, because they have no sense and
swallow their food without masticating
II. They are terrified to paralysis by
the appearance of poisonous snake,
unless the terror be due to dread of the
appearance of the serpent rather than
to an inherited knowledge of Its ven
omous power, but such intelligent birds
as rocks will pick up and eat poisoned
grain, and crows and ravens readily
eat poisoned eggs or meat. Chickens
will eat the poisonous seeds of labur-
mum and die from its effects. Wheth-
er birds such as tits and greenfnches
ever do so does not seem to be known.
But wild birds are frequently found
dying in gardens, though apparently
they have been in good health few
hours before, and their death may be
due to the consumption of poisonous
seeds.-London Spectator.

DEVOTED WAeTAILs.
These Birds Mate For Life and Are
Extremely Anectionate.

The wagtail frequently migrates
from one part of the country to anoth-
er and sometimes congregates in
same pair always reappear, sometimes
when they are least expected and all
the more welcome from their occasion
al absence, on their favorite lawn.
Their devotion to one another is ex-
treme, as u scene l witnessed some for
ty years ago. but which is as fresh in
my memory as If l had seen It yester-
day, will show.
A wngtail had been killed, probably
by stone, and was lying dead in the
middle of the circular drive in front of
the Down House, Blandford. The sur
vivor seemed beside himself with
grief. Like Eve in Paradise" he
knew not what death was" or, at
most. the reality was only gradually
breaking in upon him. He kept run
ming up to the body with loud and
plaintive call notes. He called, but
there was no response. He caressed
the body, caught hold of It with his lit
tie bill, coaxed 1t to move and drew 1t
after him for yard or two. He even
tried TO rise with II in the mir. Then,
like one distraught, he dashed away
to the edge of the gravel drive and
then as quickly dashed back again, to
go through the same mournful process
es. Sometimes he would fly right off
in wavering, uncertain fight as far as
the eye could follow him, as though
he could bear the sight no longer, but
without stopping TO rest he hurried
back in straighter and quicker flight,
unable to tear himself away or as IL
he hoped that something might have
happened in his absence. This long
drawn tragedy, this abandonment of
grief, watched from the window
throughout the afternoon till darkness
came on. Next morning the body had
disappeared, and l saw the survivor no
more.-R. Bosworth Smith in Nine
teenth Century.

A story which Mr.. Davenport told Of
Pistrucci has its point for collectors.
Plstrucci w;is an Italian and chief en-
graver at the mint. 1t Is, by the way,
to him that England Is indebted for the
fnc group of st. George and the drag
OH on the reverse of the sovereign. He
insisted that modern work In cameo
could be quite MS fine as ancient work.
a ''potboilcr" head of Flora which he
engraved and sold to a dealer for 60
was aftcrward sold as an antique to
Richard Payne Knight for $500.
Knight took the cameo In triumph to
Pistrucci. where can you get modern
work like thatf" he asked. Plstrucci
smiled and claimed the antique for his
own. knight would not believe him.
Examine the roses" said the artist,
'and you will see that they nrc modern
flowers" The point was admitted by
others. but never by Knight. who be
queathed the gem and the rest of his
collection to the nation. Mr.. Daven.

Women of Muscle.

In the time of Louis XIV. there was
an actress engaged at the Theatre
Francnis-Mlle. Gauthicr-who could
break II coin between the fingers of one
hand and roll silver plate into the
form of cup Of conicul shape. No
one could bear the pressure of her
hand, and only Maurice de SAKE, one
of the strongest men of his time. was
able to open her closed hand.
In the same century there lived in

son, who could break chains with her
hand.
Miss Kerra, young mulatto woman
who appeared in most of the capitals in
Europe, was, we believe, the first to
perform the feat, while hanging with
the bend of her knees in n trapeze, Of
holding u man at his belt with her
teeth and turning him rapidly round
with her hands.
