WINTER BIRD NEIGHBoRs.

Many of These Much-Traveled Little Fellows Surprisingly Tame.
 St. Nicholas.
 It Is surprising that there are birds which come to us only to spend the | winter, leaving us again at the begin ming of spring for northern lands and snow-banked hillsides, where the long Arctic reign. Birds that raise their broods in the far treeless Northland. where heather grasses and stunted a1ders grow on a shallow, soaking soil
 underlaid by great depth of eternal ice,
 at the approach of winter gather into
 great rowing fiocks to surge southward
 to the gentler climate our blizzardly
 ''temperate" winters! Yet all young
 country folk have seen these restless.
 wandering fiocks of winter lovers, and
 occasionally even in the towns and cities there arrive unfamiliar compa- nies of fat, fiuffy birds, busily opening the cones of the frs and spruces or devouring the buds of the naples.
 Many of these much-traveled little fell Nvs are wonderfully tame. and seem not to experience fear of man so uni versa1 with animals that rear their young in his neighborhQod. Pine grosbeaks and cross-bills, whose real homes are in the silent. moss-filled spruce forests of the greet North, will almost allow themselves to be caught in your hand! With the fie1d-roving kinds, Hke the snow-huntings, horned larks and longspurs, this fearlessncss is not found. probably from the cons stant lookout they are forced to keep against the cunning and hungry white foxes and the daring. trap-Jawed little ermine that persistently hunt them In their Northland home. But the rosy little red-polls. the creepers, kinglets, little friend chickadee," as the North ern Indians call him, and all the other deep forest dwellers are as unafraid of us as they are of the gentle porcupines and deer of their home woods.

Biiou-AIatinee Today, King of Opium Ring.
Up to the State of New York.

Having pretty thoroughly exposed the mismanagement of the life insur- ance companies. through the legisla- in New York. it now remains for tho State government to show tits compe- tency to enforce Secessary reforms What shall be done at Albany will have a more decisive bearing on tho question of Federal regulations than anything likely to be attempted at Washington in conformity with the recommendation of the President.
 The corporations are the creatures of the state. It Is not believed that they have become so powerful as to acknowledgement of the helplessness of the State government would be a practical acknowledgement of the fail ure of our Federal system and of the self-governmnt.

Meaning of Gooseberry Fool, F0xce~
 meat and Charlotte Rnsse.
 Many of our cookery terms come from the French, who are cooks by nature. Gooseberry fool is SO delicious that 1t seems a shame to call 1t fool. :" and yet there is really no reproaeh in the world. It comes from French word foule. meaning pressed, the req son being that the gocseberries are pressed before being mixed with cream says Home Notes.
 Forcemeat comes from the Frenchs farce. meaning studiing, and blanc~ mango, of course. means white foods so that a chocolate or colored blanc- mango is really an ahsurdity. Char. Charlotte comes from an old English word, chariot" meaning eustard. so Charlotte Russe Is simply Russian custard.

guage, "a perfect skin and a fine ori- ent." i. e., it must be of delicate texture, free from speck and flaw, and clear, al- most translucent. with a subdued irt- descent sheen. It should be spherical. if not, then of a symmetrical pearl shape. "La Pellegrina" in the Zosirna museum, Moscow, is said to embody perfection in shape. and weighs twenty eight karats. The Beresford-Hope co1~ lection in the South Kensington mus scum contains a sample pearl that weighs three ounces and has circum- ference of four and one-half inches. The Bay of La Paz, Mulege, and Doretto, have all produced samples fully equal to the most celebrated pearls from the Persian gulf fisheries. The Encyciope- dia Britannica credits La Paz with a pearl in 1882 weighing seventy-ffve kar@ ats.

A submarine Cruiser.

Harpers Weekly.
 The French navy is still maintaining an active interest in submarine vessels, and an entirely new type of craft is soon to be constructed at Cherbourg, which, on account of it's large size, will be known as a submarine cruiser" It is IS2 feet in length and fifteen feet beam, being driven by electric motors when under the water and by gasoline engines at the surface. There are two electric motors. which operate two pro- pelIers and eight horizontal rudders, while current is to be supplied by dou- ble sets of accumulators. Water-tight commandments will be fitted along the sides of the vessel for over two-thirds of its length, while fuel-tanks are to be placed in the center, one on each side.

The Heisht of waves.

It is unusual in other places than vols to hear of waves running noun tain high, but, in reality, the mountains of the sea are by no means steep. and only appear so when two systems of waves meet, as in choppy sea, and add their amplitudes. For example, as is shown in a series of wave measure ments lately undertaken. by the French Government, the highest nor mal waves encountered in the Southern Pacific are not more than fifty-three

No Meeting of Republ,cnps.

When I get ready to call the State executive committee together, I intend to do so in the regular manner, hon. estly and above board. have not yet decided that meeting will be called nor Is there reason for a call in the near future. as far as I can see.'
 Thus spoke J. O. Thompson, the chairman of the State Republican ex- ecutive committee, and one of the ref erees of the President, when asked this. morning in reference to the re- port that a meeting was to have been held last night in this city at which he was to tender his resignation as chairman. MT. Thompson talked with all confidence and gave no intimation whatsoever that he was considering re- signing from the chairmanship or from the position as referee. Exactly how the rumor got started that there was to have been a meeting of the State executive committee here last night cannot be surmised.
 T do not know how the information got out" said MT. Thompson in talk ing about the publication of a meet ing. When a meeting should be held 1t will be called in the regular way and everybody will be formally ad- vised. There will be no underhand work done whatsoever"

Mrs. P. Hackett, of 400 Van Buren St., Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I wish to give thanks for the marvellous cure of my mother by Cuticura. She had a severe ulcer, which physicians had pronounced incurable. It was a ter rible disagreement, and people would stand in amazement and look after her.

Police Are watchfuI.

Quiet reigns supreme Tn police circles considering the near approach of the holidays and perhaps never before on record. has such a wave of qsietness been experienced by the police during this part of the year.
 Arrests are very few and the charges preferred against those who are un- fortunate to fall under the law are minor. Serious charges are few. All members of the force report that they have never known when such a uni- versal quit was over the town as far as lawlessness is concerned and the bluecoats are having very little ex- citement. Each member, however. ex- press himself as being glad that con- ditions are as they are and only hope that the good record will keep up for another week.
 The police docket as a consequence of the good order in the city is very limited and the sessions of the court are short. Disorderly conducts and other small offenses are the only things to occupy the time of the judge and there are a very few of these cases.
 Judge Feagin is authority for the statement that his sessions of the po- lice court have been of shorter dura- tion recently than at any other time since he has been on the bench. All officials connected with the city, the members of the police department and the court as well as all citizens are hopeful that the good conditions in po- lice circles will continue.
