Of the session was the open parliament.

SSS POL IS Ss
ISLE OF sPICE."

$. C. Whitney's company in the quaint musical mixture "Isle of Spice" will likely provide one of the best en- tertainments in the way of musical comedy, that we are to have this sea son when they appear at Polls to- morrow evening. The piece created q sensation in Chicago, where it ran at the La Sale theater for 2G weeks. It was then taken to Boston at the Globe theater, where it delighted mus ica1 audiences four weeks, and theh to New York at the Majestic theater for 15 weeks, where it quickly established itself as a prime favOrite among the metropolitan theater-goers. Absolute novelty is claimed for the construc- tion of this musical extravaganza and the chorus numbers are said to be marvels of stage invention. The musical numbers are of the singable, whistling kind, and there is no doubt but that the most catchy of them will be heard on the street long after the engagement here. Among the most attractive features of the 'Isle of Spice is pony ballet" composed of twelve little girls, not weighing over one thousand pounds for the entire lot who do some very clever work throughout the entire perform ance. Among the principals Of the company that are of more than or dinary prominence in their profession are Blanche Buckner, prima donna of well known ability; Denman Maley, who has attained an excellent reputa- tiOn as a comedian; George Fisk, last year the tenor with the Boston ians; Leslie Leigh, Lisle Bloodgood, Alice Yorke, Harry Watson, Matte Martz. John Hendricks, Otto Booker and Carlton S. King. Prices are 9, 50, 75 cents, $1 and $1.50.

Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

1t looks as though patrons of the Jacques were in for ai1other week of rare amusement in the show that is having its opening this afternoon. Three splendid acts are offered for headline hOnors, any of which may be regarded as the topliner according to the view of the audience First there is novelty ill Prof Aleine's educated Monkey which made such big sensa- 'tion at Hammerstein's Victoria thea ter in New York this fall. Then there are two acts offered by Hiss Norton and Paul Nicholson, and the OFpheus Comedy Four, both of which are sU good that it will be difficult work to choose the better. The former act is a playlet entitled 'The Lady and the Pugilist," and as the title implies it deals with a subject that offers great possibilities of fun. The quar- tet act is q combination singing and eccentric comedy turn that is all to the good in both features. Probably one of the most acceptable features of the 9;ll, however, is tl, reappearhnce of Miss Nellie Floreda, the dainty come dienne whose singing of Teasing 6 few weeks ago made one of the big. gest succ"es9s of the season. Indeed, so great an impression did Miss Flor eda make that numerous requests have been made to the management to secure her for a return engagement. She is brought back so soon after her first engagement for the reason that it was found that this was the only week she had open this season, and as she contemplated entering musical comedy Manager POli resolved to make an in. novation in his regular custom and bring her back after the lapse of only few weeks. Other contributors to the bill are Cliff Gordon, MT and Mrs Stuart Darrow, Barto and Lafferty, and the electrograph. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.N

the pupils or the ptID11c SCHOOLS. souIes of students or pupils should work under the leadership of either an individual or committee, who should divide up into sections all the territory to be covered, and assign to each section one or more squads of from two to six men. These men should set out provided with plenty Of bird food, which may easily be carried either in baskets or in bags, which have straps to go over the shoulders. and they should be armed with snow-shoy- els, and with string for tying the suet to the trunks and branches of trees. The grain, seeds, etc, should be placed in the middle of fields and other open places, which are plainly visible to birds which may be flying over. On reaching such place squad should begin by marking out space perhaps 20 feet square, and from this they should clear the snow, right down to bare ground, on which the grain should be scattered. If it were put on top of the snow, it would be apt to sink in at the first thaw, and be out of the reach of the birds. It is hardly necessary to say that these spaces should be cleared after each snowstornn, and if this is done regular ly, the work of clearing them will not be severe. This plan is one I can vouch for, as have seen 1t thoroughly tested, and the results were gratifying from every point of view.

AsHop SIEGE THE LONGEST
Town Held Out Against Egyptians for Period of from Nineteen to
 Twenty-Qns YearB.

The Philadelphia Ledger says that the longest siege of antiquity was that of Aahdod by the Egyptians. Accord ing to one authority 1t lasted 10 years
 Another fixes 1t at go years. Tabled Troy was besieged for ten years. The siege of Jerusalem by Titus, A. D., 70, though not the longest, was the most sanguinary on record. Syracuse. s14 B. C., held out against the Romans for three years, and Carthage resisted them, 147 B. C., for two years. Famous among sieges was that of Parma, which capitulated in 16S5 after a years in- yestment CAndia, in Crete, surrender ed to the Turks in 1869 after a siege of 24 years, during which, it ia said, 2D0,- 900 were slain. Gibraltar successfully resisted the Spaniards and French from July 16, 1779, to February 5, 17Ss. Among modern sieges that of Sevasto- pol, 1S54-55, is interesting, inaamuch as the besieged were Russians. SevHs- topol and Port Arthur are seaports. When the former was invested the Russians hlockaded the harbor with sunken battleships, Whether the de- lenders of Port Arthur will resort to the same course remains to be seen. The siege of Sevastopol lasted 349 days during which the besieged were heav- fly reinforced.

ID FEED TIE BIRDS
WE sHo6LD NOT FORGET OUR
 FEATHERED FRIENDS.
Many of Them Dependent Upon Hu- man Aid When the Ground Is
 Snow Covered = Pleas M ure of It.

Do not let us forget that within a very short time now the ground will be covered with snow, and that our friends, the wild birds, will be glad to have tangible proof of our friendship. Last winter bird lovers in many parts.of the country made g good beginning, and saved the lives of many thousands of birds. Had their work been initiated wherever the winter was severe, many more lives would have been saved; as it was, great numbers of birds perished from starvation or from cold, which they might have withstood had they been able to obtain food. The state Drnithologist of Massachusetts esti- mates that 95 per cent. of all the quail in the state perished from starvation last winter, and that even five per cent. survived is due to the fact that they were fed by the bird-lovers. To hear of birds dying of starvation is one thing; to sse the birds themselves is another, and am sure that, if the public could see some Of the sights which were seen by certain students in the woods and fields last winter, there would be but small need of making this appeal. Those who were out on snowshoes every now and then discovered the stiff little form of some junco, chickadee or tree-spar- row, and now and then an observant man would notice q dozen or 20 little hummocks of snow lying close together
 Beneath would be found as many quail, which. when all hope of obtaining food was gone, had died as they had lived, gently and together. h some cases help had been given, but it had come too late. and the birds, exhausted by their last brave efforts, lay dead upon the food which they were too weak to eat up. Such sad incidents as these should make us more anxious than ever that there shall be as little suffering as possible during the coming winter, and am going tO make some suggestions

KrM THE OLDEST OF BIRDS
Devoid of Wings or Tail, But Pos sesBed of Four Toes-Inhabi-
 tant of New Zealand.

In New Zealand is found the kiwi, strange bird of the ostrich family. Ostriches have two toes, but the ex- tinct moaS had three toes, 50 also have the existing ernus, cassowaries and rheas or South American ostriches. The ktwi, however, differs from the other struthious birds in having four toes. Further, the kiwi cannot be said to be quite ostrichlike, for in size it ia not larger than an ordinary barn fowl. It has small head, with large and muscular neck and long, slender bill. with the distinguishing feature that the nostrils are placed close to its tip. The legs are short, but the muscles on the thighs are well developed and the feet are strong and powerful and provided with sharp claws. The kiWt is & bird devoid of any external trace of wings. and there is no trace of tall visible. while l. is covered with long, marrow. hairlixe feathers, and on the fore part .of the head and sides of the face are raggling hairlike feelers. <'

FAIRY-LIKE KASHMIR
GLIMPSE AT THE LAND WHICH BRITAIN MAY BUY BACK.
Climate There Is Hea1thful and De- ightfu1-Interest in Lord Cur : zon's Intended Visit Thither.

Kashmir fairy-like, fascinating Kashmir-is more than usually inter- esting at this juncture, when there are renewed rumors in official circles that the British government intends to buyit back, and that Lord Curzon'S forth com Ing visit is partly connected with this pet. scheme of his. Certainly the cli- mate of this magnificent country is well suited to the European constitution, for here children, as we'll as adults, thrive all the year round, so that separation be- tween parents and children is unneces- sary; and it seems now to be a matter of regret that the British government did not keep it in their hands in 1S46, and establish here great military sana- torium, instead of selling it tothe maha- rajah of Jummoo.
 The majority of the peasantry are Mahommedans, while the officials are Hindoos, and the very dress of the former is relic of slavery; for the long woollen garment in which the men go about is still the same as Akbar com pelled them by law to wear (after he conquered them in 15S7), with the idea of destroying in them all self-respect and manliness.: and reducing them tc the level of women.
 Srinagar, the "City of the Spn," and the capital of Kashmir, stands at an elevation of 5,25o feet above the sea level, and 1t is one of the most pie turesue cities in the world, situated az it is on the banks of the Jhelum, with the fort-crowned Hari Parbat and the isolated Taktht-fSuleiman in the back ground. The river is the main artery of the city, and 1t is also the principal business thoroughfare, for the streets are mere lanes, narrow, dirty and mall odorous, and the houses are ramshackle and dilapidated, many of them being out of the perpendicular and frail to the point of danger. But the river, which is crossed by seven bridges, presents a
