The bird of Paradise.

Probably no famous bird has small
er habitat than the bird of paradise
whose beautiful feathers are so highly
priced in the millinery trade. No one
knows why the varieties of this beau.
tiful bird are confined to the island Of
New Guinea and the neighborine
coasts of Australia. There are many
other islands not far away where the
conditions would seem to be equally
favorable to their existence, but the,
are not found among them, and if we
should ever see a hunter of the bird OF
paradise we would know that be was
native of New Guinea or the neigh.
boring mainland of Australia or ha1
visited those regions.

How whittier Raised Some Money.

An interesting story is told of the
poet Whittier showing his ingenuity
in getting subscriptions for a good
cause. There Were a number of car
rage makers in Amesbury, where he
resided. and, being once unable to col
lect cash in consequence of the pre-
vailing commercial depression, he sug-
gested that each might contribute
some part of carriage-one the
wheels another the body etc. Thus
all the parts Of a complete carriage
were given and it was sold for the
amount required.

HAD THE MAKING OF A MAN
School Boys Plea for Education Re-
vealed Possession Of Rugged
Qualities.

A boy from the farm stood before the
judiciary committee of the board OF edu-
cation and made out case for himself.
says the Detroit Tribune. He set up an
excuse for living that appealed strongly
TO the other qualities in the makeup Of
the committee besides its Judicial bent
He IS a student at one Of the high
schools, and as nonresident was con-
fronted with the sac fee which the board
is trying to impartially collect 1t de-
veloped that the farm lad came to the
city to get an education and to support
himself by doing messenger work. But
he could not earn the extra $40 without
leaving school for long time. Hard
lines fos the boy. He was what they
call ''up against it."
A splendid opportunity confronted
him 10 pass down and out and join the
shiftless ranks Of the many who. find
ing the road hard, the hill steep and the
admission fee uncharitably high. take
to bemoaning their fate and to cursing
the judiciary committee that runs the
universe. But this boy did not follow
the majority.
'I'll not give up. I'm bound to get a
good education and make man Of my
self and be somebody in this world. :
That is what the boy said to the commit
tee, which thereupon sat up and looked
At him. There are a lot Of other chill
dren on the farm and my father couldn't
afford to educate me properly. But I'll
not give up. I'll work until 1 get money
enough ahead" be said.
There is good stun in that farm lad
and It will require more ingenuity than
circumstances can usually furnish to
defeat him No doubt he knows what
It is to walk home from the fallow with
mud balls on the heels Of his boots and

remarkable how a course Of bringing

energy to achieve them. This farm lad

LIVING IN WASHINGTON.
Contrary to Common Belief, Govern
ment officials Get Along
Nicely on Salary.

A group ol administration oinciais
were discussing a rumor that certain
public man had recently refused TO
consider a position in the cabinet on
account OF the expense involved, when
one OF those present was induced 70
give his views as to the cost OF living
as a government official in Washing
ton. This man. says the Brooklyn
Eagle, has been through the mill OF So
cial Official entertaining for seven
years. is a keen observer and can speak
with authority. He said:
IAN this talk about people refusing
to accept positions in the cabinet and
declining congressional nominations on
the plea that 1t costs too much to live
decently in Washington makes me
tired. It is nonsense for nine-tenths OF
the people to make claim Of this sort.
for nine-tentRs Of the officials In Wash
ingtOn not only live within their salary
income. but actually save money.
There Is a very general misappre-
hension as to the cost Of official enter
tanning in Washington. A good, for
NAL dinner may be given here as
cheaply as at any place In the country.
and good deal cheaper than in many
big cities ANY cabinet officer who
spends $1,000 a year in entertaining
does good deal more than what is ac-
tually required in this line. Each mem
Der Of the cabinet is supposed to give
at least one dinner during the season,
at which the president is the guest OF
honor and several others are invited.
A dinner Of this kind. served in the
best style. may be given at cost Of
between $3.50 and $500.
"a public reception Of the kind that
the wife Of cabinet officer is supposed
to give on New Years day will not cost
over 800. Light refreshments viii re-
quire an outlay Of $50, flowers will take
another $25. and the same sum will
provide for all the incidental expenses.
A cabinet officers wife must have three
or four more evening dresses than she
would ordinarily buy in the course of
a season, and, of course, if she has
young daughters at home there is some
additional expense on their account
But, all told, a person may live an
official life in Washington and dis
charge all his social and official obIiga-
lions almost as cheaply as he could
as a private citizen. 1t is nonsense to
say that a cabinet officer cannot live
decently on his $4,000 year. There
are certain perquisites that 60 with the
Office which help to cut down expenses
Carriages are furnished for himself
and family, he gets free transportation
and lot of other favors that tend to
cut down the annual expense account"
