PORTLAND, Jan. THE songs OF
a canary bird will cheer the lonely hours
for Wong Sue, the Chinese leper. who
lives in an isolated cottage on the
county poor farm. The bird and a
large bundle of Chinese books and pa
pers have been given for Wong Sue,
and were taken to the poor farm to
him yesterday afternoon.
For months the luckless Oriental has
lived alone in his cottage. with no
living thing near him. The only hui
man voice he has heard is that of the
poor house inmate who carries his pro-
visions daily to point some distance
from the cottage where Wong Sue af-
terward gets them.

WOMAN SENDS CANARY BIRD TO LEPER

Longing for human companionship
the Chinese would occasionally call
from a distance to the provision carrier
who feared to go near the hut. Ap-
peals to his cOuntrymen for something
to read were in vain. But yesterday
some tender-hearted American woman
who had read in the newspapers of
Wong Sues lonesomeness. took the
bird in a cage. a big sack of rice. some
dishes, and a gene rous supply of read
ing matter to Fred Buchtel at the
courthouse with instructions that it be
sent to the unfortunate Chinese. The
woman would not divulge her name.

To Be Eaten When Cooked.
President Fallieres Of France recently
paid tribute to the superiority of home
cooked meals over hotel dinners and
banquets. For good. wholesome appe-
tiZing food he looks to the taste AMI
discretion Of the goddess Of the range
and not to the $4,000 chef. 1t was
Louis XIV. Of France who decorated
woman cook after competition in
preparing dishes to his liking between
the woman and his man cook.
But the women of France are not
struck dumb by the presidents com,
pliment. They insist that the proof of
the cooking is in the eating. and it can
only be appreciated at it's true value
when eaten as soon as 1t is served
Business and affairs Of state must be
put aside when dinner is ready to be
eaten" That is the new dinner call
in France. supplantng the old form,

and it Is up to the man to eat it at
once or take it as he finds it without

Real Use of the Bees Stinn.

THE bees sting is a trowel, not
rapier," said a nature student. 1T is
81 exquisitely delicate little trowel
with which the bee finishes off the
honey cell, injects little preservative
inside and seals it up. With it's trowel-
like sting the bee puts the final touches
on the dainty and wonderful work.
With the sting it pats and shapes the
honey cell, as mason pats and shapes
row Of brick. Before sealing up the
cell 1t drops wee bit of poison into
the honey. This Is formic acid. With
out it honey would spoil. Most Of US
think the bees sting, with its poison,
Is weapon only. It is weapon sec
ondarily, but primarily it is magic

When the World Was a Cub.

There was q time, centuries since,
Of course, when the learned men of
the world really taught that the world
was a square, not merely fiat, but
that tt was cube. The primitive ge-
ographers of Egypt Assyria and China
all taught that the world was a
square plane evidence Of which may
be found on thousands of ancient mon
uments in the countries mentioned. as
we'll as in their ancient manuscripts.
upon their inscribed tablets Of clay and
other early literary remains. One Of
the most curious discoveries ever made
In Central America concerning Toltec
beliefs, symbols, ETC., is that they also
had similar idea concerning the form
of what we now speak Of as the
globe" A writer on the discoveries
made among the monumental ruins of
that country says, "They meaning the
Peruvians, Toltecs and Quiches) be-
lieve the world to be cube, suspended
from the heavens by cords Of gold fas-
tened to each Of it's corners"

SOME NEW YORK FIRsTs.

The first schoolmaster was Adam
RICHARDSON, appointed in 1888.
The first graveyard was laid out in
1888 on the west of what is now
Broadway, above Norris street.
The first farm, called 'tthe company's
farm was laid out in 1853. 1t ex-
tended from what is now Hudson to
Wall street.
The first clergyman was Dominic
Bogardus, for whom church was
built in 1858. This was the first real
church building in New York.
The first artist was Dirk Hermans, a
Dutch officer, who made a sketch Of
New Amsterdam in 1886, which was
afterward engraved in Holland.
The first mode Of public punishment
was the whipping post, set up in 1885.
Upon this offenders were hoisted by

opinions were expressed William Ross

fore long and some time later called
Thomas ]. Leigh from the room and
handed to him a poem which he had
just written. Mr.. Leigh read it aloud
to the company, and Mr.. Brougham
made happy little speech of acknowl-
edgment. The thing was entitled
"What Rules the World" and the first
stanza ran:
They say that man is mighty,
He governs land and sea,
He Yields a mighty scepter
Ger lesser powers that be-
But a mightier power and stronger
Man from his throne has hurled,
And the hand that rocks the cradle

Turkish Political Prisoners.

When asTurkish political prisoner is
sentenced to be deported to Tripoli or
to the Euphrates, his friends bid him
farewell. They know that they will
never see him again alive and in all
probability never hear Of him again
unless enormous sums are Forthcoming
to bride scores of different officials. In
fact, the only difference between a
death sentence in Turkey and one Of
transportation is that the former is
more rapid and more merciful. The
government prefers the latter because
1t is less public. Now and then, how
ever, news leaks through. OF poor
