The annual spring hunt for hawks nests has always seemed to me a sport by itself, a unique excitement which stirs the blood with peculiar thrill. It means many a mile of arduous yet ex- hilarating, driving and tramping. clam berfng up rocky hillsides, traversing wild areas of swampy forest, always on the lookout, every nerve and sense at- tuned. Each pair of the savage feath- cred carnivora pre-empts its own hunt ing territory except as it scornfully fg- nores certain minor species of It's dace, so that to find one sanctum sancto- rum of, say, square mile or rough ground with any degree of facility or assurance, one must become an adept in woodcraft and familiar with the tastes and habits of the wild creatures.
 Perhaps may imagine a score or so. But now here Is one, at the very sight of which my heart gives bound. It is large and spreading, built entirely of sticks, and without any top-story of leaves: the sticks lie lightly one upon the other, strong and springy. Very quietly approach and bring the glass es to bear upon it. The ends of the sticks are freshly broken, and there is a little piece of waving down clinging to "a twig on or near the nest, the surest sign of all! With eyes fixed on the nest Iclap my hands, or give the tree re- sounding blow with club. Something moves on the platform, a confused mass of brown extends itself, launching out into the air, and great creature Hops hurriedly away into the mazes of the forest. What is it--va red-tailed, or red shouIdered hawk? Usually I can tell at glance. If the tree is pine. with branches to grasp, I am up there in a jiffy; if it. is deciduous, the climbers are buckled on, to spike the way up. The most exciting movement is when is just raising his head above the level of the nest What will 1t be? Two eggs, probably. if it belongs to the red-tailed hawk: three or four, if to the red shoulder. Were it later in the season, and the retreating bird smaller, the contents might be the two or three eggs of a broad-wing, or the four or five of the Cooper's or of the dashing little sharp-skin.. Tn color they may be any thing from dirty or bluish white to specimens beautifully blotched and shaded with different shades of brown. Or, if 1t be late in the season, . brood of odd, hook-billed young may be the surprise, clad in suits of soft, white down, that rise to their feet, and snap and hss at the unwelcome intruder Herbert K.

 In many other factories work oS a similar sort Is being done. Tn fact. a social betterment wave seems to be sweeping over the factory districts of Newark at present.
 Half dozen years ago two or three large concerns gegan experiments, but met with failure. At the Clark O. N. T. thread works a restaurant was started, where the most wholesome food was furnished 70 the operatives at cost. The restaurant was failure. Other ef- forts along the same lines in different factories had to be abandoried because of lack of interest on the part of the employees, who seemed to think the firm had planned 70 get the better of them.
 Now conditions seem to be changing: operatives aIe no longer suspicious of such experiments on the part ot their employers, and are meeting them half Way.-New York Sun. Ar

COST TO ELECT A pREsIDENr.

While 1t cost only s2OO,0OO to elect Abraham Lincoln to the Presidency in 1864, four times that sum was spent in the Haynes-Tilden campaign of 1876; while in 1888, with tariff as the issue, S2,000,000 was said to have been used by both sides and the figures have mount ed upward since in some of the later campaigns. These facts form the sub stance of part of an interesting article on How National Campaign Is Run which Edward Lissner contrib utes to Harper's Weekly. He tells also of some of the items which go to make up these expenditures. The cost of maintaining national Headquarters with its army of employees ranging from 40 to 100 men and women, has been esti- mated to be about 5000 a day. There are stump-speakers whi receive s10O week and expenses. The distribution of q single speech in printed form has cost as much as $500, and there have been campaigning when 20 of such speeches have been delivered and circulated.- Exchange.

Theme of Willie Collins Novel Practi-
 cally Duplicated in Real Life.
 A story which comes from Oakland,
 Cal, Is reminiscent os WillSie Collins 'Moonstone" After thirty-fiv years lit would seem as though Collins were
 vindicated. There are but two improb-
 able clements in The Moonstone,"
 when 1t is carefully considered. First, that Col John Herncastle could ever have secured and for half century have retained the famous Indian liamond. Second, that Franklin
 Blake could have stolen 1t, while under i the influence of laudanum, then have repeated his theft, a year later, while again under the influence of the same drug. In the lives of soldiers of fortune
 stranger things have actually happened than the theft of a great diamond from the head of an idol. New an actual occurance goes to prove that the llaudanum incident introduced by Coi- lins into his famous story was not a wild flight of the novelist imagination The Oakland story is to the effect that painter fell from 8 scaffold and was seriously injured. He was placed In his unconsciousnes he babbled con tinually of a fortune of $100,000 which awaited him in England. When the
 man regained consciousness and the surgeons joked him of the supposed wild dreams which the anesthetic had
 caused, the mans brain completely cleared from the shadow which had | long hung over it and he proved that the fortune did actually await him. Subsequent developments show the mans story to be substantially true, years ago that yyilkiej Collins used this It was something like thirty five years ago that WillSe Collins used this very idea as the chief mystery of his famous story. Readers of 'fThe Moon- stone will recall that Collins quotes scientific works in his novel to prove his theories. He. tells of London por- ter who was intrusted with a valuable
 package to deliver, who became intoxi- cated, and on sobering could not re- member where he had left the package.
 The next time he was drunk, however, he remembered the entire affair and
 secured the package where he had left
 it. ....-....-s
 Collins then adapted this incident to his. own needs. Franklin Blake, un-
 used to laudanum. was given a heavy
 dose, and while under the intpxicating effects of the drug went to the room
 of Rachel Yandiver. and stole the
 Moonstone. Next day, when the seda-
 tive effects of the drug had passed
 away, Blake had no knowledge of his
 nights action. Collins keeps Blake in
 this ignorance for a year, and then
 gives him an inkling of the truth. The
 experiment is tried of reproducing the
 surroundings as nearly as possible as
 they had been when Moonstone disap- | peared, and under the influence of an.

other dose of iaudanum Blake repeats his visit.
 The oai1lang story diners in some particulars from the Collins incident, but the dominating idea is the same. For almost two decades The Moon- stone" has been looked upon as one of the best examples of imaginative writ ing extant. But Collins is in a fair way to follow Jules Verne. Imaginary fiction has a peculiar habit of be- coming practical fact almost before the scoffing is over.-Des Moines Register.

To Six Hundred and FOrty-seven of New York city's Poor at Charities Doek-scenes at tbe Gathering-oid Men and Women Wait for Hours to Get the Forty-seyen Dollar Gift

Men and women Wait for Hours to
 Get the Forty-seyen Dollar Gift.
 In a long line, crowding and eager. s67 blind men and woman stood for hours oil the Charities Department pier, at the foot of East Twenty-sixth street, Wednesday, and received in gifts from the city sS1,S49.
 By .6 o'clock they began to arrive, each with a companion, often boy or a girl. sometimes an aged father or r other. It is an unusual occasion to these hundreds of the sightless dwellers of the tenements, the going to the dock, dressed in garments laid away for the purpose, standing in the line, hearing the comments and feel ing the gold pieces drop into the palm os their hands.
 One by one they grope away leaning on a friendly arm, faces smiling and fingers clutching their treasure.
 Among the first to come was an old man. A small dog guided him, and he steadied himself with cane. A police man escorted him to box, and he sat down and waited.
 Other came, all poor, young and old men and women. Long before 10 o'clock the line reached to the rear of the dock and stretched along the walls
 "Oh, yes, I've been here for years" said one old man with pretty daugh- ter holding to his arm. 1T keep track of the years this way" He laughed as he said 1t.
 Well, well, Joe, how do you dor" cried a policeman to late arrival.

 Yes you did, she answered, T al ways think os you said the little woman, smiling up at the policeman. He went along the line. talking to one, shaking hands with another. Even a stranger could see they were glad he was there.
 A white-haired woman. with a look of content, so care free as to be almost inspiring, was wheeled along the line in chair by her son.
 He works all day" said bystand- CT, fin one of the big stores, and makes enough to keep his mother and himself, and that's all. At night he reads to her-but here comes the wagon" The chattering stops. Eyes that can not see stare in the direction of the noise and Nicholas Murrell carrying the thousands in gold coin drives on the pier.

 Then the crowding begins. One off, cial takes his place at the head of the line and calls off name. The man with the dog stunbles along the en- vied of all.

and a man of great energy and re-
source. The reconstructed First army
will include the First, Tenth and Sew

rifles and two other corps to be sent
out later on. The Second army, under
command of General Gripenberg. will

other corps not yet designated. Six ST.
berian corps under General Linevitch
will make up the Third army. 1t is I'M
derstood that General Kuropatkin will

organization can be completed.
General Kaulbars is the personal
choice of General Kuropatkin for the
