The Blue Bird.

When nature made the blue bird she
wished to propitiate both the sky and
the earth. so she gave him the color
OF one on his back and the hue OF the
other on his breast, and ordained that
his appearance In spring should de-
note that the strife and war between
these two elements was at an end. lie
is the peace harbinger: In him the ce.
lestial and the terrestrial strike hands,
and are fast friends. He means the
furrow and he means the warmth; he
means all the soft, waving influences
OF the spring on tho one hand, and the
retreating footsteps of winter on the
other. After you have seen the blue
bird you will see no more cold. no
more snow, no more winter. He brings
soft skies and the rudy brown of the
fields. II Is sure to be bright March
morning when you first hear his note.
and 1t is as II the milder influences up
above had found voice and let a
word fall upon the ear, so tender is
It and 80 prophetic hope tinged with
a regret.--John Burroughs.

India Women's Fine Jewelry.

1T is rare thing to see the women
VI India these days wearing any valu-
able gold jewelry. as they did in years
lone by" said Charles Gawtrey OF
bombay.
when ] first went to the Orient the
women of the upper class commonly
owned and wore thick chains and
bracelets OF the finest gold and OF
exquisite workmanship. In these times
of pinching poverty they are too re-
duc5d financially to possess any ex'
pensiye ornaments and instead OF the
gold trinkets OF their ahluent days
they would have formerly despised.
II is pitiable to witness, as ] have, the
decline in the fortunes OF the people.
Affect poverty is seen everywhere,
and the gaunt specter of starvation is
ever at the side of milliohs Of human
beings In that Inflated land"

TAKES MILLIONAIRE MEASURE
FerrerO, Italian Historian, Writes of
Americas Rich Men.

Paris, May 20.-Guglielmo Ferrero,
the Italian historian, who recently
visited the United States, is continu-
ing in the Figaro his analysis of the
position offered by American million
| aires.
Today he lays emphasis on the the
| ory that these men feel themselves
surrounded by public hostility and
that, consequently, they are bound,
like their prototypes in ancient
Greece. to assume public responsible
ties and vindicate themselves before
the people.
Signor Ferrero attributes much of
the former hostility to John D.
Rockefeller to his disregard to public
curiosity and to the mystery with
which he surrounded himself, and he
points out that latterly Mr.. Rockefel-
ler changed his tactics by publishing
his memoirs and freely granting in
| terviews.
The writer considers that Andrew
Carnegie. on the contrary, has play
ed to perfection the role Of a Croesus
in democracy. He has given lavish
ly and maintained good relations with
the public through the press and his
books. and by fathering the theory.
now generally accepted in America,
that millionaries are only the deposi-
taries Of their fortunes and have we'll
defined obligations.
In Europe, he says. the belief ex-
lists that American millionaires arc
modern satraps, who exercise their
power ruthlessly and with the great
est audacity and courage. This is
true. perhaps, so far as business is
concerned. he thinks. but in politics
they are timid and vacillating. They
feel themselves enveloped by animos-
ity and menaced by growing opposi-
ton, which makes them conceal rath-
er than display their power.
