MURDERERs AMONG BIRDS.
Young Ones Confined in Cage Are
Poisoned by the Male
Parent.

A gentleman who travels much In
Central America tells an interesting
story about his experience with trop.
ical birds. To put It in his own
words. he says: I'm cleaning up the
site to build the railroad station at
Sonsonate in the republic OF FL Saliva.
dor. left standing a tree called the
tempisque, which was, and Is still, the
favorite nesting place for several
kinds Of birds. With the aid of lad.
der one day | secured from the nest
some young sinsontes knocking birds0
Fearing that | could not secure the
right kind OF food for them, | made a
rough cage and put them in It..
placed II where the parents Of the
little captives could take care Of their
young ones, which they soon did with
all the solicItude | expected
Excepting the shelter Of the wings
Of their progenitors, and liberty to
fly freely in the air, think they en-.
joyed every inducement to grow strong
and be happy in their comfortable
prison. Perhaps the impossibility OF
getting into the cage made the pareat
birds more affectionate and asslduous
in their visits. When the breeding
time arrived. | watched the eXpectant
mother birds gathering feathers moss
and other material with which to build
their nests. One Of my poems remarked
Boss, you better bid adieu to your
chicks; their daddies are going to get
them poison from the brush His re-.
marks made me think Of what had
read in natural history at school that
when the African swallow cmigrates
to Europe the invalids and the very
young birds which cannot accompany
them are poisoned Still did not be-
lieye that the parents Of my young sin.
sontes could be so cruel or so wise as
to kill my brides. Yet, a few days
after | had the sorrow to find one Of
my hooking birds stone dead | took
II out and dissected II, hoping to as
certain the nature Of the poison
feared that the peon might he playing
joke on me- had to abandon the
idea when found in the poor birds

Of undigested ana swollen pink hut.
terny, All the rest Of my prisoners
lied one after the other and in the
Itomach Of each found remains Of
The swollen pink butterfly. Then I
instructed my pens to catch some but.
lerilies, which | fed to the wild mock.
ing birds, and had occasion to OBJ
,erye that they ate them all except the
pink ones. These birds were free and
wild ones and hal an instructive dis
'retion which made them reject the in.
iurloNs food My poor prisoners could
not refuse what was put down their
hroats by their wise parents, who thus
brought them poison from the brush"

names Of debulante and lady present

tore the eyes, the awed debutante
makes her curtsies and. with what
grace she is able, reiires. Formerly

article In the Canadian Magazine in
forms us that formerly an attendant
equipped with rod lifted the long
train and put 1t over the lady's left
arm; the debutante should keep her
wits about her and have her arm ready
70 receive the train, as unwary and IN
fortunate debutantes have before now
literally received the trains over their
beplumed heads"
For Edwards second court there ac-
companied the invitations particular
directions as TO attire, and this advice:
Ladies who pass the presence at their
maiesties court are requested TO be
kind enough TO remember that their
trains. which are spread by the pages
on entering the throne room, should
be kept down until they are picked up
and restored to them by the pages who
will be in attendance at the exit door
for that purpose To-day, we are told,
the debutante may absolutely trust
to the exquisite and ceremonious care
which will attend her every footstep on
the way from the palace door to their
majesties presence"
In the old days the company used to,
faint for bite and sup. In the present
rule there is supper, a superbly served
AFFAIR. Queen Victoria did not care
for residence at Buckingham, but Ed
ward and Alexandra reside in the pal
ace, and the kitchens are In practical
working order, guests at an evening
court sup delicately, Usually by one
o'clock the general company has de-
parted. many TO make n visit in the
wee sma' hours to photographers. who
will have aashlight all ready TO take
the wonderful presentation costume;
not a few to finish the night at parties
given in honor Of the presentation oc-
casion. Formerly grand afternoon teas,
called peacock or train teas, we're the
custom-the fair debutantes arrayed in
all their glory Still farther back was
a custom which seems to us very Eng
fish indeed, driving in state in Hyde
Park, a public display OF costume and
fact Of court presentation.

TIE American girl is born to many
privileges, and In the light OF the pres
ent talk about King Edwards first
court OF the season and the number Of
American women to be presented, we
feel inclined to include among the privi-
leges-though by so doing we may Of
fend Wanting republicanism-that Of
eligibility TO make bow before their
English majesties. A writer in the
Canadian Magazine, of issue 1901, re-
marks: "The United States mother
planning eagerly for the social career Of
her daughter, remembers. perhaps with
relief. that all the daughters OF the
greatest republic are eligible-under
favor OF their ambassador-wh whilst Brit
ish girls are by virtue Of lineage or upon
marriage
Among the Americans to be presented
this season two young women are con
spicuOus; Miss Jean Reid, daughter Of
Ambassador Reid, and Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth, daughter Of Presiden-
Roosevelt,
At n drawing-room the matter Of
costume Is not left TO individual taste
certain features are strictly regulated.
A court train is obligatory, from three
and half to four yards In length, de-
pending from one or both shoulders,
so arranged that the wearer upon retir-
ing from the presence" may carry it
over her left arm. white veil must
droop from the hair, and three white
feathers stand up; white gloves. shoes
and stockings must be worn. The bou-

official sent out to take charge OF con-

a gap, an emergency measure, the or
eanization brought to the fore that
people might feel their gifts were to
be disbursed by experienced hands, by
business-like methods. This assur-
ance. and the attitude of DR.. Devine,
the Red Cross representative, at once
puts matters on an amlable footing,

mony.

cided against flowers as taking up too
much room.

Is also worn.
A presentation at court involves no
ittlS fatigue and is assUredly an or
deal. II Is by no means easy nova
lays for the AmeriCan-in spite OF the
cligibility-to get the favor of the
ambassador" and win the coveted
cards of invitation. II favored, two
cards are received, upon which appear
the name Of the lady who Is to present
the dsbutante and the name Of the
debutante Now the question of gown
engrosses attention, and at last the fate
full day arrives The start for Buck
ingham palace Is made due early that
the experienced coachman may line
up in good place. There are several
entrances to the palace; the garden
entrance is reserved for the royalties
and their eQuerries by Pimlico en-
trance and state entrance the company
is admitted; one ingress is sacred to
the corps diplomatique and those that
hold the entree-wives and daughters
Of ambassadors and other distinguished
foreigners connected with the legations,
and wives and daughters Of high Of
fcials OF the court and government
To hold entree means not only the
courtesy Of special entrance but also
an early presentation.
At the afternoon drawing-room there
would be tedious wait before the pal
ace, the grand ladies at the mercy Of
the cockney come to look his Ill at the
show and sharpen his wits bit. 1T
is a wit which embraces every phrase
ology from the sporting slang In which
n bechecked coster acquaints his Ar
riet with the fact that in his opinion
such and such dowager Indicated by
personal description which admits OF
no doubt as to IDENTIFY should be
scratched because she carries too much
weight to the poetic panegyrlc which
describes a blonde debutante as

At last the palace gate is open, one
leaves ones cloak, delivers one
card and makes progress through vari-
ous apartments, sometimes through

crush wherein chaperon and debutante
are separated and II would seem never
could be brought together again. But
they always get together, somehow or
other in time for the entrance to the
ballroom where their majesties Of to-
day hold court

Many people il asked the meaning
II the word presents" in the phrase
by these presents" would be entirely
unable to give It. 1t means these
present words, or this present docu-
ment," 1t was familiar enough for
merly. In Loves Labours Lost" the
king asks Jaquenetta, What present
hast thou there ?'--lhe present" be-
ing a letter. Bacon writes that Romu-
lus after his death WAS said to have
sent present" to The Roman people
bidding them devote themselves to
arms. Shakespeare even uses pres.
cnt" TO mean money in hand.

Is now well up in years, and some
time ago 1t was thought best that
younger person assume the RESPONSE
bilities Of president. Through a long
series OF campaigns-begnning with
the forest fires In Michigan and end
ing with the Galveston disaster Miss
Barton had directed the activities Of
the society In work OF puch beneh-
cence; large sums OF money, contrib
uted by the public, were usefully ex-
pended; human suffering was alleNi-
ated in many widely separated fields;
and thousands OF people were helped
to get on their feet after they had
been stricken down by catastrophes
Of nature or the operations OF war"
While by no means minimizing the
benehcence OF the work done, criu-
cism began to be heard Of a lack Of
business methods In the Red Cross
work, chief among the criticisms the
declaration of the society's failure to
make and publish properly audited
statements OF receipts and disburse-
ments. During the Spanish war a
number OF business men In New York,
wishing to cooperate with the Red
Cross work, offered to give the So
Ciety all the moneys collected II Miss
Barton would allow them to send a
representative to Cuba to supervise
expenditures and audit accounts.
Their proposition was declined, and
the business men decided to organize
what became known as the New York
Red Cross Auxiliary, the organization
controlling its own expenditures and
at the end publishing detailed ac-
count thereof.
II was at this time the suggestion
was made, with all the tact possible,
that Miss Barton resign the post she
had 80 long honored and her place be
taken by ap ractical business man.
Miss Barton appeared to think favor
ably OF the suggestion at first, but
later decided not to retire, obtained a
charter from congress and reorgan-
lied the society. From now on the
