THE sToRK IN GERMANY

THE STORK IN GERMANY.
Time was when the stork was popu.
lar IN Germany as an exterminator
OF snakes and frogs. But, of late,
scientists have proved that frogs are
OF service to agriculture and horticul-
ture by consuming myriads of insects.
Thus the stork, by decimating the
number of frogs, is continual men,
ace to these, useful industries.
While this revelation has turned
sentiment against him, to certain
extent, 1t would not have been suffi.
GENTLY powerful to dethrone the uni.
versal favorite, If the scientists-for
whom the German has profound
respect-had not recently produced
other unfayorable testimony. They
proved that the stork frequently robs.
the nests of larks and other singing
birds, consuming eggs and fiedglings
with impartiality, and that he is not

occasional chick or duckling, picked
up out of the farmyard after the man.
ner of birds of prey. Sportsmen were
incensed by the information that the
big bird makes away with every
young hare to be found in its terri
tory and that few escape.
Moreover, it was discovered that
the stork is not as domestic as he
was commonly supposed to be. Not
Iinfrequently male storks fight to the
death over the possession of female,
and the latter calmly accepts the VIC
tor as her lord and master though he
be stranger whom she has never
seen before. There is, too, such a
thing as bachelor stork, living at
the edge of the woods and roosting
high up in the trees, apparently the
most irresponsible bird known to man.

NOTABLE WORK OF SARGENT'S.,
In addition to portraits, Sargent has
executed wall decorations for the Bos-
ton Public Library, the theme of
which is the Triumph of Religion"
illustrating certain stages of Jewish
and Christian history. And in the
frieze below stand the Prophets of
the Old Testament, large and simple
forms, following one another in baau-
tiful lines, simple and dignified. Up;
on the wall at the opposite end of the
room appears a representation of the
Redemption Of Man. treated in the
spirit of Byzantine decoration, but
without the Byzantine unnaturalness
in the drawing of the figures. This
panel, the latest executed, is the best,
being remarkable example Of com
bining the style of modern painting
with that OF the old Byzantine decora-
ton. These decorations exhibit a
very beautiful side of Sargent's mind
that has been only partially develop
ed, deeper insight into the meaning
of the subject than his portraits sug-
gest. The latter are distinguished
rather by holiness of method and
an extraordinary appreciation of the
value of the things which lie upon,
or only a little below. the surface. In
this respect he offers great contrast
to Whistler.-St. Nicholas.

Flood RuIned His Gardener

In the old days OF excitement wher
mining stocks were on the jump and
men became m~illionaires over one days
dabbling Nh Incident occurred at the
country residence Of James G. Flood In
M0nlo when u fairly well to do farmer
found himself without II home In the
short period Of II week. The mans
name was Hank, and. being u first
class gardener. he readily found EN-.
pl0yment about the residence OF the
wealthy owners Of mansions. In this
way he was employed ut the Flood
residence, Hank was lettering about
the garden n Saturday evening as
the proprietor, In company with a Wis.
itor, was looking over the stock.
Mr.. Flood, who had just stepped out
Of the hog corral, casually remarked to
his friend that lie would be willing to
make II bet that Con would 60 w to
800 before Christmas" Hank con.
strued Con to mean Consolidated
Virginia, and, taking the tip which he
thought would make him a millionaire,
be disposed OF his holdings OF $50 acres
Of fine land, his stock and, In brief,
everything he had on earth except his
wife and four bright little Hanks. The
proceeds he invested In Consolidated
Virginia stock, which was then selling
at $75 II share.
Christmas came, but instead Of Con
going up to $500 1t fell to $25. The
man was u pauper. In lamenting his
loss he incidentally mentioned to a
friend Of Flood how he lost his all.
Flood. who was generous to a fault,
sent for Hank and had him repeat his
story. When he learned OF his chance
remark about "Con going up to 300
before Christmas" he fairly shook with
laughter and explained what 1t meant.
1t was In reference to the gift Of a
young SOW, made a present to him by
Con O'Connor. who in the fun OF the
thing had called the pig Con. The bet
alluded to the sow's increasing In
weight to 800 pounds before Christmas
and not to Con Virginia.
Having enjoyed the joke and after
joshing Hank, the noble hearted Flood
bought back the ranch for Hank and
recompensed him for all his losses.

knowledge of the penalty paid by an
eavesdropper were Floods reward

FOR MAYOR
OF PHILADELPHIA
In Every Church Of the City Sup
pications Go Up, in War
Against Vice.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
Philadelphia, March 6. Mayor
Weaver and the city government of
Philadelphia were publicly prayed for
yesterday in nearly all the Evangelical
churches Of this city. Neither in the
memory Of living men nor in the history
of the city of brotherly love is there
any record Of campaign like this.
The ministers, who are aiding the citi-
zens' committee of seventy and the
committee of eight in the effort to
stamp out vicious conditions tolerated
by the municipal authorities, are now
trying to bring about great religious
revival like that which recently
brought 10000 sinners to repentance in
Denver.
There is no trace Of bitterness in the
prayers directed at Mayor Weaver and
his administration.
The ministers petition for revival
of religious zeal among the citizens in
be impelled to cleanse the city govern
ment. The ministers call their Maker
to witness the awful conditions that
prevail in Philadelphia and to punish
wickedness in high places. They are
jealous in their prayers, but they dc
not denounce the mayor by name.
Mayor Weaver did net seem dis
turbed by the fact that scores Of pas
tors were addressing. earnest petitions
ministering the affairs Of Philadelphia
The use Of prayer as a weapon against
the city government of Philadelphia
seems all the more remarkable wheI
one considers that Mr.. Weaver is al
active and earnest church worker. H,
was in his usual place yesterday, as h,
has been every Sunday for years al
] -
political campaigning or pressure of of
fetal duties has ever caused him t,
miss one Sunday.
