Sympathy for the Father.

Beattle's father and brother Doug
las arrived early at the court house
The courteous and sympathetic Viz
ginfans made a most obvious display
of their regard for the father and sor
ROW for his plight. Men came from al
sides to shake hands with him. But
in all their outbrusts Of friendiiness
very scarce were the well wishes ut
tered for his son. With virglnians
the etiquette Of such a situation il
well defined, They must not express
Roptnions one way or the other tilI the
law has decided. +
The youths parent is a handsome
imam with regular features, a kindly
countenance dark1y tanned, clean
shaver and crested by carefully
trimmed white curly hair, a slender
psychic sort of a man on whose face
the tragedy Of his present position is
certain to look at him. He was al
ready in chair beside that which his
son was to occupy when the boy en-.
tered the room.
The sight Of his father did not take
the smile of Beattie's face. He shook
hands with him and smiled some more
at something that he whispered to
him. They did not look like father and
son. Peattie's features are large, his
mouth finely curved and weak, very
prone to smile, as are his peculiarly
large, yet sllt.shaped eyes. There is a
remarkable change in his counte.
nance When.lt is in repose It wears
an habitual sneer. And 1t does mo-
look alike the sheer Of a precoclously
synical boy. It is. an old, long worn,
settled sneer 4
on the third finger Of his right
hand was a ruby ring. 1t Is said to
have belonged to his mother who is
dead. and that he is wearing it for the
good fortune 1t may bring him in his
trial.

ator Martin is opposed by Represent

charged that before his election to the
United States senate in 1893 Senator
Martin was not only railroad agent

Virginia. but was one Of the disbursing

The kinofsher.

The kingfisher Is the greatest digger
OF our birds. Deep into q sand or
clay bank he digs until he has built
tunnel six feet or more long. He
then hollows out a little underground
room at the end, in which his mate
lays her eggs. The kingfisher is much
larger than robin-a handsome bird,
with a blush gray back, a crested
head and white breast with a gray
band across it. He is usually seen
sitting on tree or stump on the edge
OF the stream or lake where he gets
his food. A ripple on the surface of
the water shows a minnow swimming
below. and down he dives, spearing it
with his long, sharp bill. Then he
flies back to his perch. shakes off the
water and eats his catch. The Indians
think the kingfsher stocks their lakes
with fish. They say that when q king
fisher finds a lake without fish he
catches one in another lake and drops
1t into the lake which has none

s Private CoIeridoa.

In his young days the poet Coleridge
had a little love affair which ended In
disaster, for the lady refused him. In
despair he enlisted in cavalry regi-;
ment which he hoped would be or
dered Oh foreign service. For family
reasons he dropped his correct name,
but from a feeling Of sentiment re-
tanned the initials, so Samuel Taylor
Coleridge became Private Silas Tomp-
kins Camberbatch. The regiment did
not. leave the country, and it was not
long before his soul wearied of bar
rack life and it's utter absence of ro-
nance. His military life ended in a
curious fashion. One day while Cole
ridge was doing a weary sentry go
two officers strolled past. One of them
made use of a Greek quotation which
the other corrected. The first insisted
on his correctness, while the other
was just as positive. he was wrong.
While they. disputed the sentry sud
denly presented arms and respectfully
informed them that they were both in
error. He gave the exact quotation,
name Of the author and other circum-
stances. This incident led to an in
quiry, and the poet was restored to
the bosom of his family.-London

In a Japanese Temple.

"Asakuse temple is dedicated to the
goddess Kwannon, tiny image of
gold, about two and one-half inches
high" writes traveller in Japan. Eat
the entrance to the temple grounds on
either side Of the immense gate stand
two large and fearful looking figures,
guarding the sacred precincts. Hang
ing outside the wire grating are a
number Of sandals for their use if they
wish to take walk, and rice: is
sprinkled about. Each worshiper, be-
fore entering the temple. calls at
small building, and after contributing
a small amount, washes his hands and
rinses his mouth. In front of the main
shrine is large aperture in the floor,
covered with latticework. into which
the worshiper casts his gift. After
clapping his hands to awaken or at
tract the attention of the god, he
kneels, but his prayer is only brief.
While there is one chief shrine there
are many others under the same roof.
One shrine especially attracted my at
tention; it was made of wood. and
quite disfgured and worn through the
constant rubbing Of hands on the spot
corresponding to the afflicted portions
Of the sufferers odies."-Chicago

Monkeys Arc Eiqhters.


"Most persons will guess lions or
tigers are the most dangerous ami
mails to train" said an animal trainer.
"but they're wrong. Give lion one
good licking and he'll remember it.
He hits back only when his man is
down or has his back turned. but a
monkey will fight against any odds,
and you never can tell when he'll hit
back. Even a medium small monkey
can strike a blow that will reach
through a coat, vest and two shirts,
and he leaves nasty wound. The
most daring thing ever did was to
60 into a monkey cage and take a
baby from its mother. The ordinary
house cat is the most stubborn animal
under training, but the monk is the
most dangerous if you work the larger
kinds. New York Sun.

Birds and Fishes and Glass,

A correspondent recently reported
what he described as the curious
freak" Of blackbird flying against a,
parlor window many times at the
same spot continuously. Such an Incl
dent is not uncommon. Birds have.
been known to fight for hours at a
time, day after day. with their own
image reflected in a pane OF glass,
specking and futtering against the pane
and quite exhausting themselves in
their fury to demolish the supposed
rival. 1t is another instance of how
the arts of our civilization corrupt
and confuse the birds. It is the same
with fishes. Darwin tells story of
pike in an aquarium separated by
plate glass from fish which were it's
proper food. In trying to get at the
fish the pike would often dash with
such violence against the glass as to
be completely stunned. 1t did this
for more than three months before 1t
learned caution. Then when the glass
was removed the pike would not at
tack those particular fish, but would
devour others freshly introduced. 1t
did not at all understand the situa-
ton, but associated the punishment
it had received not with the glass, but
with a particular kind of fish,

In a Japanese Sleeping Car

It was at night we had our first ex-
perience in Japanese sleeping car.
The track is narrow gauge, and the
standard sleeping cars have six seats
running lengthWise. each seating two
passengers, with center aisle. The
upper berth is the regular Pullman
style, and section will accommodate
two passengers. The night was during
the extreme heat of midsummer, the
car was crowded, and in addition to
the regular curtains each berth was
provided with mosquito bar, which
added to the general discomfort. Pas
sengers were taken on and let down at
all stops, so there was a constant pro-
cession through the aisle all night.
Part of the car was reserved for local
accommodation and those who sat up
smoked necessarily, so that long before
morning the atmosphere became in
