A Barbarous Policy.

After the Dutch had taken the Mo-
luccas from the Portuguese they in
troduced the cultivation Of the Glove
into their " possessions. cut down
all the Glove trees of the Moluccas and
pronounced death ON any one who
would plant a single Glove bush or
gather or sell a pound Of the product.
Expeditions were sent from their other
eastern possessions every year to cut
down any bushes that might have &C
cidentally started in the Molucca Is
lands. This barbarous policy made the
islands a desert, for. deprived Of their
forests, the volcanic soil was washed
away, and the population starved or
Was deported.

The Robin and the Caterpillar.
The robin hops along in the furrow
and picks up worms as the farmer
plows, which 1t eats itself or carries to
IT'D nest as food for the young robins.
The robin prefers smooth coated
worms, such as the common earth
worm, but IL such food is scarce 1t does
not disdain the fuzzy caterpillar. It Is
IN evil day for the caterpillar when a
robin strikes It. The robin picks it up
and shakes It and shakes it until it
shakes the spines out of 1.-THE fur, as
the children call the caterpillar's fuzzy
coating-leaving the caterpillar bare in
patches and sometimes all over and
shaken all out of shape. Then the
robin eats It or carries it of to feed its
young.

At six o'clock that morning Max Won Holbrandt
took horse for Slavna. His diplomatic character

and enabled him to act messenger with safety

the King and of the proclamation of Sophy.

nations. The right to feel specially outraged is
matter for diplomatic negotiations, often, doubt,
of great delCacy.
So in the meantime Slavna was left to its own
devices for a little longer-to amuse itself in its

Aroused by the Firteen-Year-Old Daughter
OF Boarding House Keeper.

Loretta, the ffteen-year-old daughter
Of Mrs. Margaret Calico, who keeps a
theatrical boarding house at lES Grand
street, Jersey City. awoke at 4:SO o'clock
yesterday morning to find her room full
Of smoke and a two story rear extension
on fire. She aroused the members Of her
family and the boarders, thirty persons
in all, and then ran into the street to give
the alarm. The firemen were greeted by
a lot OF half dressed actresses, who were
sneezing and choking from the smoke.
Everybody got out urassisted except
Mrs. Calloo's soDs, William, aged ~, and
Frank, aged q, who slept on the top floor,
They were carried down stairs in their night
clothes. The fire burned out the extension
and ate its way into William Hayes's ex-
tension next door. The main buildings,
four story brick structures, were not burned.
The Five Department officials traced the
origin to an old bureau which stood in the
lack yard against a fcpce aud the frame
extension. They could not ascertain how
the blaze started. 80.
