MADE THE CONGREGATION GASP.
Northerner's liberaIity Astonished the
Colored Brethren.

A northern gentleman, visiting In q
southern village, attended church at q
negro meeting house. When 1t came
time for the collection to be taken,
two deacons seated themselves beside
table before the pulpit. with the
plate between them.
One by one the congregation rose,
and stepping forward, deposited cent
or a nickel upon the plate before the
eyes Of the watchful deacons. When
all the members had gone forward the
northern man took half.dollar from
his pocket, and leaning forward and
touching a negro on the shoulder.
handed It to him and motioned toward
the pulpit
colored brother rose with alac-
ritz. but with eyes big with astonish-
ment. and holding the coin between
the tips OF his fingers and extending II
high in the air where all might see
1t, he marched slowly and ostenta-
uously forward.
He was about to deposit II on the
plate when one Of the deacons mo-
toned and whispered to him. The ef.
feet was instantaneous. The coin
bearer lowered the coin out Of the
public gaze and stepped back to the
donor.
Please, sah," he said. In q low
voice, does you want some change
back-and how much?"
The visitor shook his head. Again
up went the coin, borne by a smiling
negro, and with clangor and an aud
ible buzz Of approval from the specta.
tors, II fell into the plate.
Watched by the deacons. the
preacher counted the funds. The col.
lection this morning amounts to SS
cents" he announced. I'VE will now
enter upon service Of thanksgiving"

The statisticians who foot up the
loss to the country resulting from the
killing Of misunderstanding birds. and
from our further neglect to inteili.
gently protect and foster those winged
scayengers Of the air, put the gross
sum at soO.Ooo.oOO per year. We do
not know upon what facts or what
basis Of computation this enormous
total Is reached: but II 1t is one-tenth
part true 1t is startling showing. The
proposition Of the federal government
to set aside bird reservations and
breeding grounds where our feathered
friends might be protected In life, lib
erty and the pursuit Of happiness
seems to rest upon sound economical
grounds. 1t is a measure of safety for
ourselves as well as for the birds.

SAYS MANY WOMEN ARE BALD.
Hairdresser Refutes Idea Which Has
Become General.


"Why is II men get bald and women
don't?"
At this question the halrdresser
laughed.
MY dear sir" he said, there are
quite as many bald women as men. In
fact. incline to believe that there are
more"
He pointed to the switches, curls,
fronts. fringes, and complete female
wigs In his window.
why should those things exist II
women didn't get bald?" he said. "The
hairdresser puts In all his spare time
in making false hair contrivances, and
nine out OF ten of them are made for
women. Well, woman wouldn't wear
them II she didn't need them, would
she?
when man gets bald. he acknowl-
edges frankly this injury that the
years have done him; he let's all the
world see his bare and hideous white
scalp. But when woman gets bald,
she brings up over her bald spot the
long locks above her ears and at the
back of her neck, and she further con-
ceals her badness with switch, or
false curls. or fringe, or whatever
best suits her.
Yes, take hardresser's word for
IT, woman's hair is no better than
man's-there are as many bald WON
en- as men-but woman hides her
badness, whereas man let's his be

Bearded vuItures.

In the London Geological society's
eastern aviary there is now living .
splendid example Of the lammergeyer.
or bearded vulture. This species
(Gypaetus harbatus) resembles the
eagle in having the head covered with
feathers. II is a distinctly handsome
bird, and, being without the bald head
Of the typical vultures, lacks their re-
pulsive look. In its habits and mode
Of life 1t resembles the true vultures,
except, perhaps, that tits rather more
dainty in Its tastes. Stories have
been told of children carried on by the
lammergeyer, but they are highly I'm
probable. In some countries It ID
called by q name meaning bone
breaker" from It's habit Of carrying
bones up in the air and dropping
them from a great height in order to
get at the marrow. 1t inhabits the
mountainous regions Of southern Eu-
rope, and its range extends through
Asia Minor and the Hlmalayas to
China.
