To Mime I.ilii Lehman the birds fairy God

sweet singers we have slaughtered.
Where have your spirits flown
Your plumagc gay has passed away
But you are singing on.
Poor, wronged winged creatures
TO Lehman You have sped,
Her thruat-your resurrection
No longer lie you dead
We listen as vOu call u.s.
Through her sweet voice divine
To spare your iCathcrcd brothers
We worship az your shrin.
Sing on From heights above us
Nour Gospel call Is heard.
Zach woman Graves forgiveness
OF every spirit bird.

BOOKS IN QUEER BINDINGS.
Human Skin Among Other Things
Used for Coverings.

Extravagance in binding has ire
quently furnished an opening for the
display of fantastic tricks and fads.
In booksellers catalogue was once
an advertisement of Latin copy Of
Apuleius' Golden ASS bound in the
skin Of an ass A book relating to
jeffrey Hudson, the celebrated dwarf,
was bound in piece of the silk waist
coat of Charles !. Fox's historical
works were bound in foxskin, and
Bacon's works were dressed out in
hogskin. One offspring Of the French
revolution was the grim humor OF
binding books In human skin. France
was not alone In this practice. In
various parts of England the skin Of
murderers has been tanned and used
to bind books. The public library Of
Bury St Edmunds has a book con-
tanning the account of the trial Of .
man for murder. bound in his own
skin. Eccentricities of binding in such
skins as cats. crocodile, mole, seal,
wolf. tiger, bear, etc., abound. The

Gum Chewing statistics.

There IL now being passed about q
collection of. facts about the chewing
gum industry which is uncomfortable
reading for the fastidious. The Amer

pears, chews on an average ten one
cent sticks of gum every year. The
allowance would be somewhat larger
II infants below the gum-chewing age
be excluded. This consumption OBJ
viously means a net chewing-gum bill
of $4,000 q year. The chewing of
gum is an undisputed American Gus
tom, yet the production of chewing
gum is not only a foreign industry,
but was deliberately made such. SO
Gar as the raw material is concerned,
after the native, home industry, prod
net had been rejected. Spruce gum
gathered in Maine was the original
chewing gum. 1t has still kept a place
for itself. but subordinate one. Then
sweetened wax came into use. 1t was
a pure American invention and patri-
Otic stun to chew. But the Mex.ca-
chicle, introduced originally as a sub
stitute for India-rubbor. was turned to
this use some 80 years ago. and has
practically driven its rivals from the
market.

Well, send a caddy out with this mes

their brothers and sisters. A DISPOSE.

say that all women with such and

each other; but we act continually
upon notions hardly less unreasonable.
Educated men with small vocabular-
les, for instance, are divided as rule
by clever women into fools by birth
and self-made fools, according to
whether their want Of equipment be
ascribed to nature or to affectation.
To the first they are Indifferent; 10
the latter they have almost always q
more or less active dislike. Such men
are often able, a fact their own sex
Invariably recognize. The man whose
words are few and Ill chosen may be
q man of prompt and reasoned action,
who having Seen brought up among
the silent wise or the garrulous silly
deprecates the waste of pains occas-
toned by the game of talk. All mental
athletics bore him just as physical
athletics bore others. In the same
way, says the London Spectator, the
fact that a man pretends to know ne
more words than a savage may be
matter of awkward though genuine
humility fear of pretending to a
culture he does not possess-or an act
of superficial conformity to a passing
fashion among a small set. 1t may
have NO more to do with his real mind
than an ugly figure or an Lieut. coat
Circumstances will sometimes con-
vince even q clever woman of these
facts 80 far as a given man IL con.
cerned. but she will never alter her
silent opinion as to the generality.
Clever women are very hard on the
men they imagine to be fools. Able
men, on the other hand, are not at all
hard on women they know to be stu
pid. Where youth and beauty are con
cerned the fact is easily understood;
but youth and beauty by no means ex
plain the whole of this phenomenon
Many men are inclined to think that
the kind Of mental power in women
which we colloquially call brains ex
lists in inverse ratio to their common
sense and serves only to carry them
with fatiguing rapidity through verbal
fallacies to a false conclusion.

as cheap, and give entire satisfaction,
is proven by the extraordinary sale of
Defiance Starch, each package con-
tanning one-third more Starch than
can be had of any other brand for the
same money.
