THE PARSON BIRD.
One of the Queer Feathered Inhabft
ants of New Zealand.

One of the Queer Feathered Inhabff-
ants of New Zealand.
Among the feathered inhabitants Of
New Zealand there is a bird called the
parson bird, or tut. 1t Is about the
size and shape of blackbird. but has
pair of delicate white tufts at Its
throat and is a glossy dark green 9TH
erwise, which looks black in the sun
light 1t can be taught to crow, to
speak, to whistle tunes, and besides
these tricks it has repertory which
is not often equaled by any other
feathered songster. At vespers it has a
note like the toll of a bell or the clear
high note of an organ. 1t can mimic
every bird In the bush to perfection; it
will break of in the middle of an ex-
Quisite melody and indulge in a strange
medley Of sounds which are impossible
to describe, but If you can imagine the

TRYS TO K|DNAP
LITTLE BABY BOY
Screams of the Youngster
Frightens Jack DonIin and
He Releases Lad.
TRIED TO STEAL A RIG
IN THIS ATTEMPT THE MAN WAS
NO MORE SUCCESSFUL- HE
FINALLY FALLS INTO THE
LAWS CLUTCHES.

Yesterday while Jack Donlin, well
known police character, was laboring
under heavy load of intoxicants he
attempted to take possession OF a
horse and rig which did not belong to
him. Failing IN this he made an at
tempt to kidnap a baby, but this effort
also met with failure. However Don
lin finally succeeded in getting arrest
ed and this morning Judge Converse
sent Jack to his old home. the county
Jail, to serve out a $40 fine.
While Donlin was lacking down
North Eighteenth street, he saw Frank
Wilson leave a rig belonging to
George Eggemeyer and enter a house.
Jack at once boarded the rig and was
starting to drive off when Wilson s
attention was attracted and he com
PEELED Donlin to disc mbark. In the
rig way a baby boy, the child of one
of Wilson's friends.
After Wilson had driven away he
went to the north end of the city
hitched the horse again and enter a
house. In few minutes Donlin came
along. The rig attracted him like a
magnet and he took the wondering
baby in his arms and was preparing
to make off with the tot when the as
tonished and indignant infant let out
howl that could be heard for some
distance. This penetrating yelp had
a bad effect on Donlin's nerves so he
dropped the child under the rig and
proceeded to make his getaway. A
short time later he fell into the hands
of the police.

SWISS SCHOOLS.
The Course of study and the system
of Training.

of Training.
The education given in the schools of
Switzerland is in many respects more
comprehensive and practical than that
offered in our currculums. The girls
for instance, are taught not only to
read and write and spell, but to cook,
to wash, to sew, says the Housekeeper.
In addition to being trained for the du
ties Of homemaking and housekeeping,
each girl is taught some useful trade.
Many of the pupils are daughters of
rich parents, and there Is little likeli-
hood of their ever having to earn their
own living, but the paternal govern
ment takes the view that every mem
Der of society should possess the abili-
ty to be self supporting even though
the necessity to exercise that ability
should never arise. No expense has
been spared in equipping the schools of
Switzerland for the teaching of domeS-
tic science.
The boys, too, have not been neglect
ed in the Swiss system Of education.
Physical culture and manual training
have prominent places in the curricu-
lum, and every boy on leaving the pub
lie school is equipped to earn his own
living. Fads and frills are absent from
payers want to see some return for
their money. They demand that the
education for which they pay shall be
practical and useful in after life. Are
they not right?
