WINNING THE BIRDS.

OF all times, winter is perhaps the
best in which to seek the confidence
of birds. They are at that time In
need Of food, we can then offer them
friendly assistance, and hunger
makes them respond to our advances.
Just fancy, for instance, having chica-
dees come in through the open win
dows in little flock, to hop about the
rooms and examine all your belong
ings, with their bright, black eyes, or
to take breakfast at the same table
with you in the morning! Yet this
is exactly the experience we have had
during the last two winters, one In
Massachusetts and the other in New
Hampshire, and it is an experience
which any one who lives In the coun-
try may have, with little trouble and
less expense.-From Ernest Harold
Baynes's Keeping Open House for
the Birds" in st. Nicholas.

YOUNG PETER PAUL.

Peter Paul Rubens' father died
when he was ten years old, and his
mother, with Peter Paul and the rest
of the children, moved from Cologne
to Antwerp, in Belgium. 1t was the
custom in those days for people who
were not rich, and sometimes even
for those who were. to put their chill
dren in the families of mobiles o.
great lords, so that they should be
trained as pages if they were boys.
or bower maidens if they were girls.
A page was taught to ride, to hunt.
to fly hawk to dance a measure, to
use sword and to play on the lutte.
and sing if he was able. He could
saddle and tend his horse. keep his
armor bright and follow his master
to the wars and wait on him. Some
times a page was taught to write and
read, but he had few lessons beyond
this.
The girl would be taught to en-
broider, to sew and mend, to spin and
knit, to dye clothes and weave them.
She, too must dance and learn to
read and perhaps to write her name.
though even royal ladies could not
always do this and often had to make
a cross when they had to sign let
ter.
The young Peter Paul, in accord.
ance with this custom, served as a
page for a time in the household of
the Countess Lalaing, in Brussels.
But what he loved most was drawing
and painting. and soon his mother
learned of his talent, and after that
he was carefully trained, and became
not only one of the greatest artists
of his time, but of all time.-From N.
Hudson Moore's 1.-The Two Sons Of
Peter Paul Rubens" in st. Nicholas.

Killed in the Lever House.

The lower house of the Legislature
killed the anti-gambling bill by Mr.
Collins. This bill provided that any
man who entered gambling resort
and lost could give Information to the
district attorney against the house. and
he himself would be exempt from pros
ecution. On motion of Mr.. Blainey the
enacting clause was stricken out. The
same thing was attempted when the
bill was first read, but it failed. Since
then, however, enough enemies Of tie
bill were lined up to give it the knock
out blow At present the man who
CANDLES is as liable to punishment as
the proprietor of the gambling house
and therefore 1t is hard to get VIC
tim to make complaint to the prose
cutting officer and help convict the man
behind the game. In the bill by Mr..
Collins there was an inducement for
the victim to give information. and the
friends of the measure thought 1t
would be an effective club over the
gamblers.

STEPPED in Gods own sunshine. A
woman who was known as the queen
of the Gypsies died recently in Eng
land. She was OF great age and amaz-
ing vigor, and a real character In
her reserve and her hatred OF modern
conditions. She seldom talked, but II
was known that she considered educa-
tion as rubbish. houses as no better
than prisons. and the persons who
died In them as the victims Of their
own effeminacy. In a phrase both
telling and memorable. she boasted
herself free from the tyranny of the
roof" That is truly noble freedom
and one which every wise woman may
covet for herself and her children.
Perhaps another hundred years may
see the stu1y bedroom everywhere
supplanted by the airy porch, and
find civilized man again sleeping un-

Because Of poor olive crop in
Spain the demand for peanuts is
brisk, and the peanut growers in the
province Of Valencia are holding their
crop for a high price. Peanut oil is
largely used by the Spaniards instead
OF olive oil, and the peanut completes
with the olive at the oil-crushers. The
consular report from which this in
formation is taken does not say
whether or not the Spanish dealers
sell the peanut oil as olive oil. They
may be more scrupulous in their trade
designations than some dealers in cot
tonseed oil have been.
