BIRDS EARN THEIR LIVING.
Why Songeters of the Air Have
Claim on Man.

Not a bird comes to the country but
earns its living from the people. In
some way or another they earn their
right to live. Most of the song birds
are insect eaters. 1t is a question
whether we could live on this earth
IL insects were allowed to multiply in
the numberless forms and myriads
of progeny that nature provides. Ger
tainly man could not alone keep the
insects down without the help of the
birds. Even the hawks and owls live
mostly on field mice and gophers, and
Mr.. Grow will eat almost any old

According to It's trans-atlan- tic advices, Consuelo Vanderbilt is not happy any longer with her little duke, and they appear in public together with as little frequency. as decency demands. I beg leave to doubt this thoroughly, for l know that Mrs. Belmont, Consuelo's mamma, received a letter not two months ago in which the duchess wrote of Marl- borough in very agreeable terms, and mentioned that the dukes appreciation Of things American was not limited to his auriferous American wife. but had shown itself in a nebullition of profound esteem and almost boundless admiration towards a famous American gentleman who lately visited England. and, who, though devoted to silver, won golden opinions everywhere among the arlstoc- racy.

New York, April 3O.-The strange losing and weird finding of Mrs. Sartoris' jewels continues to Hume conversation Poor and consider her, as it were the daugh- ter of the regiment, the child of the na- ton. She generously gave the restorer of her gems, valued at S4000, a hundred dollars reward without the asking. Rath- CT different conduct from that of dis tinguished bridge-whist member of the Union club, whose play for some time has been under suspicion, and who in somewhat similar case a few years ago Adonis, reputed to be worth $5,000,00O, but really worth less, once made a con- tract with a poor fellow concerning the management of some property and in- volving only a few hundred dollars. The property was suddenly sold, and, when it was remarked that the poor man might sue for his balance, this parsonage answered: Let him sue and be damnedl My lawyers can hang his shabby little suit up for three years and tire the beggar out. That's what I keep lawyers for" Such things naturally tend to in- tensify the bitterness felt here against the very rich and are not offset by the charitable deeds of a Miss Gould or a Carnegie. A noted New Yorker said to me the other day, when Carnegie's latest benefaction came to light: Tt would be better If he established fund to prose- cute, free of cost, the just claims against the disgraceful rich, who by their con- duct are sowing the wind of discomfort for our posterity to reap the whirlwind." Yet, just as in Paris few years before 1793, New York salons were never so brimful and bubbling over with all sorts of philanthropic schemes for the ame- lioration of the condition of the misera- ble masses.
