lost gold-headed umbrella, which he

At a dinner given by some local
mercantile or business organization
Mr.. Clemens responded to the toast
of Hartford" In his speech he glori.
fed the city as the one place in the
world which provided for every pos.
sible human need. He said that Hart

protect mems lives, accident policies
to protect their persons, and fire in.

to tell them how to live and Bibles
to tell them how to die. In short,
1t supplied all their needs, not only
here but even hereafter.

Some Mixed Advice.

Senator Frye, in an address at Cas-
tine, Me-, told story of a Castine edi-
tor
"In your beautiful and quaint town Of
Castine," he said, there was once an
editor who received, at about this sea-
son, two inquiries from subscribers.
THE first subscriber was the mother
of twins, and she wanted to know how
to bring her little ones safely through
the trying ordeal of teething. The Sec
ond subscriber, a farmer, wanted to
know how to rid his orchard of grass
hoppers.
answered these questions to the best of
his ability, but unfortunately he mixed
them up.
THUS it came about that the mother
of teething twins got for answer:
".Cover them carefully with straw.
and set fire to it. and the little pests,
after jumping about in the flames for
few minutes will speedily be settled.
"To the farmer pestered with grass
hoppers the editors advice was:
"Give q little castor oil, and rub their
gums gently every three hours with Il
bone ring"-New York Tribune.

A BIRDS BALLROOM.
Where the Geek O. the Rock Performs
Like Whirling Dervish

Dancing is by no means confined to
quadrupeds. \ writer in The Strand
says that it is the principal play of
many birds.
Perhaps the finest of bird dancers IS
the South American cock o the rock.
These birds have regular dancing places.
level spots which they keep clear of
sticks and stones.
A dozen or more of the birds assemble
around this spot. and then a cock bird.
his scarlet crest erect steps into the
center. Spreading his wings and tail, he
begins to dance, ut first with slow and
stately steps. then gradually more and
more rapidly until he is spinning like Il
mad thing. At last, tired out, he sinks
down, hops out of the ring and another
takes his place.
Some of the quail tribe are great dane
ers, and so are the American sand hill
cranes. 1t is most ludicrous sight to
watch a crane dancing, he is so des'
perately solemn over the whole perform
ance. He looks like a shy young man
who has just learned to waltz and is
rather ashamed of the accomplishment.
