THE KINGFISHER.
A Bird Whose Ways Are Most Difficult
to Observe.

Perhaps there is nothing in nature
more dif.cult to observe than the ways
Of the kingfsher. Any one may see
him glancing down midstream or max
ing his sudden arrow flight from bank
to bank under the bright June sun
shine. but to track him down to his Sc
cret fishing place and watch him at
work Is q vastly more difficult thing.
You come from the gold clad mead
ows into the shady river path as Into
u cathedral aisle. The willows crowd
down to the waters edge. In the green
reeds sedge bird is fretting. There
is low twittering song Of nestlings
all round you. And now, in the sha-
diest deep of the willow wood, shrill,
piping note cuts the silence, fash Of
emerald passes, kingtisher has gone
by on his way to his favorite pool.
A common notion is that he sits per.
fectly still on some branch overhang-
ing the water, a picture Of crafty vigil
ance. But this Is rarely IL ever the
case. The truth is, says a writer In
the London Chronicle, that the king
fisher, like the master he is, sets about
his work with an easy surety, almost
nonchalance. Peering down upon
him warily through the screen Of
branches you would judge that the last
thing In the world he was thinking
about was the gliding brown water be-
low him. He twirls round on his
perch, making his vivid green and
turquoise and amber plumage scintil-
late like dewdrop In the one beam ca
sunlight that has found him out.
He preens his feathers, stretches a
lazy wing now and again, looks about
him with casual eye, and then, as
II 1t were the merest trihing detail In
life, he suddenly points his two inch
long fishing spear Of bill at the wa
ter beneath him, pIunges and is gone.

Il Paws to Be a Demagogue.

No Tariff bill OF revenue measure
OF any kind was ever faultless, but
the so-called Aldrich bill was as near
ly right as could be expected from
any source. The work of such men as
Kelly and Haskell and Dingley and
Mckinley and Reed and Cannon con-
Inues to form the main part of the
law. Ii is the embodiment of the best
knowledge of the constructive party
of the nation since its organization.
II is not an invention of Aldrich or
any other one man. II is a transcript
ion by a committee of which Aldrich
was the head-a transcription OF all
the party's past work on the Protec-
tive and revenue Tariff, with hero
the practice on the basis of recent
industrial changes. Mr.. Bristow threw
some nice Mysteries in favor of re-
ducing the Tariff on the lead because
II occurred to him that Kansas farm
ers used lead in painting their barns
and did not produce any lead them
selves. BY the same rule of conduct
he voted TO keep up the Tariff on
hides because he figured that Kan
sas farmers raised hides and did not
buy any. Here is where he parted
from his creator, La Toilette, who
insisted that hides should come in
free for fear the packers were MAX
ing money out of the hide business.

agogue or 80 many nice men would not
