And Now the Cooinn Dove.


Is nothing secure against science?
Professor Wallace Craig, of the Uni
versty of Chicago. has summoned to
the bar the gentle dove. He has
framed an indictment of four counts.
l. Doves are not coy. There is not an
element Cf coyness in their makeup.
2. AS wives their conduct leaves much
to be desired. Desertions are frequent.
3. The female dove is inclined to
shrewishness. 4. Sometimes the male
dove is a domestic tyrant.
Gone are the poets dreams. THE
tender fierceness of the dove" as By
ron puts it, has become a paradox.
Sweet is every sound" says Tenny-
son, and he includes the moan of
doves in immemorial elms." This as
interpreted by Professor Craig prob
ably means that madam dove is siren
uously objecting to her lords late
hours. GOO dove to thy married
mate" wrote Jean Ingelow. This must
refer to a few well chosen and sar-
castle remarks concerning the quail
lty OF the latest worm. Perhaps
Shakespeare, the omniscient, looked a
tritle ahead when in a Midsummer
Nights Dream he put in the mouth
of one of his characters, Il will roar
you as gently as any sucking dove"
Higher criticism will require here a
| stage direction" to roar most petu-
lantly.
No longer will it be safe to paint
Venus with her doves. White winged
peace will refuse to recognize such a
termagant as her symbol. The voice
of the turtle" is not to be heard in the
! land of art. Another crime marks the
career of the ruthless iconOclast.

Black Forest customs.
From the Antiquary.


The peasant farms of the Black Forest
are handed down from father to son in a
direct line, often dating back 400 years.
There is no division as in France; all
falls to the heir, only here it is not the
eldest, but the youngest son who inherits.
1t Is rare that a Bur (peasanD dies as
reigning head. When he gets on in years
he abdicates, in order to end his days In
the lelbgedingehaus (dower house,, which
stands beside each Hof (steading).
That he does so in favor of his young
est son is very sensible; were it the elder
he would have no peace, for as soon as he
married he would try to induce his par
ents to retire just at an age when power
is sweetest and best exercised. For this
reason the practical farmers of bygone
generations decided to hand over the sue
cession to the youngest, since when Ben
jamin is a full grown man father jacob
is old and glad to rest
This law of inheritance goes by the
name of vortel. Should the heir of his
own free win desire to resign in favor Of
his elder brother the latter must buy th'
property from him. In such case thu
younger may be termed kind of Esau.

How a Girl pefied sheridan's Army.


From the Metropolitan Magazine.
1t is related that the army, headed
by Sheridan and his staff, left VIM
chester by the valley pike early in the
morning the column moving toward
Stephens City. Just as day was break
ing the staff reached the toll gate and
was much discounted to find the toll
pole down and guarded by "A young and
beautiful girl. Charlotte Hillman,
famed locally for her girlish charms
Even the war-hardened Sheridan seems
not to have been proof against the per-
Suasion of pair of black eyes and a
pretty face, and when toll was demand
ed, straightway produced the tithe,
setting an example that was followed
by his staff.
But" said Sheridan as he passed
through the gate, Il cannot Youch for
my army"
When the common soldiery came, the
girl again lowered the toll bar and de-
manded toll. This was met by jeers
from the soldiers whereupon she wisely
raised the guard. All day the dusty
troopers passed through, and all day
Charlotte Hillman stood at her post.
For every 10 soldiers who passed the
gate she cut notch in the toll pole.
Early fed beyond the Blue Ridge with
the remnants of his disorganized army:
in the Valley of Virginia, Lee, beaten
back by Grants overwhelming num-
bers, gave up the fight; in the southeast
Joe Johnston fired the last burlesque
shots and peace came over the North
| and South Then, when relations with
Washington had been re-established
and the Administrations policy was one
| Of magnanimity, Charlotte Hillman
| counted the notches in the toll pole
and sent her bill to Washington. And
| the bill was paid.

THE HAPPY WARRIOR.
Three Persons Suggested Reading Of
Poem at CleveIand,s Funeral.

Princeton Letter in Brooklyn Eagle.
They said Grover Cleveland would be
buried without sermon, eulogy or song,
but they We're wrong. The funeral was
turned into poem that was itself a
song, eulogy and a sermon. The
most beautiful eulogy ever written by
William Wordsworth was read over
the coffined form of the former presi-
dent and applied to him and to his life.
By a remarkable coincidence, or con-
currence in the minds of the three per-
sons nearest to Mr.. Cleveland, the great
poem of Wordsworth was chosen sep
arately and individually by the three
as the one human expression most fit
ting to portray the life and character
of the dead. No greater tribute could
be paid to the character of Mr.. Cleve-
land than this fact that his life and
deeds were such that when those who
loved him best sought independently of
each other to find n suitable expression
Of his character, they turned spontane-
ouSly to the Wordsworth poem that
pictures a happy warrior with great
ness almost sublime.
The selection of the Wordsworth
poem was remarkable incident in
the funeral arrangements. The Incl
dent was suggestive almost of the su-
pernatural in the coincidence and
agreement of the mental processes that
led to the selection. Without any sug-
gestion that a poem should be read at
the funeral, the Wordsworth poem was
selected separately by Mrs. Cleveland,
the widow; by Rose Elizabeth Cleve-
land, the sister Of the dead man, and
by DR.. Henry van Dyke, who was
closer to Mr.. Cleveland than any other
friend in the last few weeks OF the
fatal illness.
After the death of Mr. Cleveland. DIR.
van Dyke, who lives across Bayard
lane from the Cleveland home, was sit
ting in Westland with Mrs. Cleveland
and Rose Cleveland. After aslong pause
in the conversation, Mrs. Cleveland
said:
I have been thinking of poem
about the happy warrior. The poem
appeals to me almost as a prophetic
description of my husband. 1t was
written more than a hundred years
ago, and it may be that it is not so
fitting as l think
Nothing could be more appropriate
and no poet could have been more
prophetic" said DR.. van Dyke, drawing
from his pocket a copy of Words
worth's poems. That is the very poem
l have thought of as being opposite and
we'll adapted to the character of Mr.
Cleveland"
Rose Cleveland, in amazement, held
out a memorandum in writing. In
thinking of some fitting tribute to her
brother, she had written down the
name of Wordsworth's poem, "Charac-
ter of the Happy Warrior"
So impressed were they by this sin
gular agreement upon the poem that
they determined to have the poem read
at the funeral. 1t was chosen to take
the place Of all eulogy and song.

Hatching Ostrich Eggs.
From tn Tampa Times.


Ostrich eggs are being Matched in an
incubator in this city. A novel egg
Matching is being carried on at the
store of Crenshaw Bros. on upper
Franklin street. Thirteen fine ostrich
eggs from the recently established
Tampa ostrich farm have been placed
in an incubator and they will hatch off
some time early in May.
1t takes an average heat of 107 de-
grees and As days of constant exposure
to such heat to develop the germ in
an ostrich egg and hatch young os-
trich. The eggs are worth $40 each,
and it is a conservative estimate to
say that the young bird will be worth
more than twice that money after it
has passed the first month Of it's ex-
istence.
Some idea of the size of the eggs
may be gathered from the fact that the
Mandy Lee" incubator, which is be-
ing used for the hatch, would hold 140
average hen eggs. Fourteen of the
ostrich eggs would fill it completely.
An empty ostrich egg holds just one
quart of liquid. This is the first at
tempt at ostrich Matching in Tampa.
