TINTELLE'S MOTHER.
In little village beside the broad st
Lawrence there lived a mother with an
only child. The other mothers in the vii
lage had more than one, and some had
ten or twelve; but Tintelles mother did
not mind, for Tintelle is more beautiful
than all the other little ones" she said
Tintelle really was very beautiful with
skin like a snwodrift at sunrise, and eyes
like bits of blue sky reflected in the river;
but the rosy sunlight died way, and the
blue sky was hidden by a cloud, and The
cold white body of little Tintelle was
buried under spreading maple tree.
The poor mother spent a great dea
of her time in the churchyarI, kissing

Spare the Birds.

Since writing the article in last
weeks Sun on Bird Life" we have
had a talk with Secretary James Hen
ry Rice of the Audubon society He
told us some things We didn't know
befo-". For instance, he said that
only thirty-five per cent of the birds
in The state a hundred years ago are
now in existence. Lack OF protection
laws, together with the wanton de-
struction of timber lands, has brought
about this terrible loss of birds. Be-
cause of the ignorance of both our
lawmakers and the people-the one
on account of not knowing the value
of birds, in failing to protect them,
and the other through the same lack
of knowledge wantonly slaughtering
them-there has been entailed upon
the state a money loss which 1t Is i'm
possible to estimate. Amy one can see
however, that the reduction of the de-
stroyers of insect life that plays hav-
oc with growing and matured crops
to only thirty-five per cent has result
ed in an enormous loss to the state in
dollars and cents. Such loss suffered
in the past and that which is in i'm
mediate prospect must be attributed
to our ignorance and folly.
In slaughtering the innocents we
are, without knowing it, in a fair way
of slaughtering ourselves. A few
years hence the boil weevil will be
upon us-the United States depart
ment of agriculture says four, but
Secretary Rice puts it at three-and
then the bottom will be knocked out
of the cotton industry i'm South Caro-
lima. Real estate and almost every
thing else will tumble price and
the prosperity Of which we now boast
will give way to business depression
and gloom. And there will be no help
for us. Foolishly, in our Ignorance,
we have destroyed in large part the
bird life that would have stood be-
tween us and disaster.
Possibly it is not too late to rem
edy somewhat the evil that has been
done. and, by ceasing from now on to
kill the birds, provide against the
danger that is said to be imminent.
1t is reasonable to believe that if the
state had its maximum number of
birds the boil weevil at its coming
would have but little showing. The
farmer could plant his cotton and
sleep peacefully at night undiSturbed
by ugly dreams OF its depredations.
The looms of the cotton mills would
continue to hum under the touch of
smiling industry, and prosperity and
happiness would not for a moment
shrink with fear at the sight Of the
miserable little bug so soon to be COB
bled up by some feathered denizen of
the air.
So let us all strive to get back our
full percentage of birds. 1t is a work
of patriotism, calling for good laws to
protect the birds and a good deal Of
self-denial in every one as regards
dog and gun. Whether people be-
lieve it or not, their industrial saliva
ton and hope of continued prosperity
depend upon their efforts towards saw
ing the remnant of birds that is left
and giving them a chance to multiply
and replenish the earth.-Farmers'

REFUSED TO OBEY.
Major Butler Carried His Obstinac>
Right Into His Coffin.

Major Butler Carried His obstinacy
Right Into His Coffin.
Many amusing stories are told OF
the great formality, blended with a
humorous brusqueness and independ-
ence which characterized early Revo-
lutionary days. An incident Of camp
life is related by the author of "Ro-
nance and Realism of the Southern
Gulf Coast"
In 1898 the first United States
troops that came down the Mississip-
pi were quartered at Fort Adams
General Wilkinson, Colonel Ham,
tramck, Major Butler, Captain Green
and other officers We're merry over
their punch one night, and the gene
raj by some accident got his cue burn
ed off. Angry at the laugh which fol-
lowed his mishap, he next day issued
an order forbdding any officer to ap-
pear with a cue. Obedient to orders,
all the officers but Major Butler cut
off their cues.
"The vain old prig!" said the ma
jor. "Ill see him hanged before / cut
off my cue to crafty him." And he
boldly appeared without changing the
style of his hair dressing.
The major was put under arrest
but he declared obstinately that he
would spend the rest of his life in
prison before he would comply with
such silly command. Soon after
ward he was taken very ill., and, real
iZing that he was at the point Of death,
he gave instructions for his burial
which he knew would be witnessed by
the whole command.

bottom of my coffin, right under my
head, and let my cue come through it,
that the old general may see that even
when dead refuse to obey his order.
And these directions were literally

Small Obstacle Disresarded.-Gen.
Jacob Sleicher COxey was entertaining
a friend from Virginia the other night,
and the friend to illustrate a point he
made told the story of Sally, the negro
maid, and ole mistiss's duck. "Old
Mrs. Hanover went away from home
one day." said he, and left the plan
tation house in charge of her two
frisky colored maids. They sent for a
pair of male admirers, put on their
best clothes, and to properly set forth
the festal table killed one of old mis-
tress's ducks. They burned the head
and feet and feathers in the stove.
After supper that night the quartet
went to a revival meeting in the neigh
bOrhood, and Sally got religion.
Use a-gwine to jine de army of de
Iawd,' she sang very loudly, marching
up and down the aisle. When she
reached out and grabbed Sally by the
skirt
What about ole mistiss's duck?' she
asked.
Drop dem skuhts, niggah,' said
Sally, jerking away, Use er gwine to
jine de army of de Lawd.'
Next time Sally paraded down the
aisle the other maid seized her skirt
again. You Sal,' said she, what you
gwine do erbout ole mistiss's duck
you and you army of de Lawd?'
"G'wan away, niggah,' said Sally,
pulling herself free. Does you t'ink
I'm g'wine let er liz thing like er duck
stan between me and nah salava-
ton? ?"-Cincinnati Times Star.

Marbles.

If you will examine your milch
COWS at this time of the year. you
will likely find some Jumps or pro-
tuberances on the sides and along the
back When your cattle are out on a
warm day, they will be racing around
posts. These protuberances are war
bles We are not going to tell you
how they got there. You would not
believe us if we did; and we have
wasted so much time trying to make
you believe it that we are not going
to waste any more.
The thing for you to do is to get rid
of those MARBLES You will find them
on the poorest cattle, although we
have seen them on steers nearly ready
for market. The MARBLES are not on
the cattle because they are poor; but
the cattle are poor because they have
MARBLES.
How to get rid of them? Well. If
there are not too many of them, the
easiest way is to take your thumbs
and press on each side close up until
they pop out and then put your foot
on them. You will find over each
warble minute hole in the skin.
through which it receives air. Fill up
that hole with any thick oil. and thus
smother the beggar. Some use sheep
dip or other pOiSOnS.
We are not particular about the
method used. just 50 you get rid of
them. If you do not, you will have
MARBLES next year i'm all your cattle.
You can not afford 10 feed even forty
cent corn to a lot of miserable worms.
and that is what you are doing just
so long as there are MARBLES in your
cattle.-PrOgreSSive Farmer.

THE GAYEST CITY.
Vienna, Prussia's Capital, Has Strong
Claim to the Title.


The Partisan has abandoned the
amusement of what was once the
worlds fairyand Of pleasure to be eX-
plotted as tourist catching commercial
enterprises. The Prussan puts on
his heliotrope evening waistcoat and
sits all night at a table covered with
tin buckets bulging with punches OF
gold papered bottles of bad cham
pagne in a gaudy pleasure palace" in
Berlin merely because he believes
that this line of conduct is "korrect'
and "tiptop." The Viennese alone
knows how to enjoy himself in an un-
affected way. without boredom and
without pose.
In their pleasures Paris is vulgar
lied and Berlin Is vulgar Vienna Is
still unsophisticated and consequently
still amusing.
1t is a question of civic tempera-
ment. The Parisians are losing the
capacity for gayety. Their favorite
mood is one of sedentary and cyni-
cally humorous contemplation OF
themselves. The Berliners have made
money too quickly. Their amusements
provide them with a cOngenial oppor-
tunity of gratifying the taste fol-
lavish display and costly ostentation
which is the quality which nature not
infrequently combines with a keen
commercial instinct. But the Viennese
are simply people who by nature are
gay and fond of pleasure. They throw
themselves into their amusements
lwholeheartedly and unaffectedly, es-
Gaping both the self-conscious supe-
riority of the Partisan and the self
conscious snobbishness of the Ber-
/ liner.
| No one who has once shared in the
unconstrained pleasure seeking of the
Viennese will turn again for amuse-
ment to the showplaces Of Paris OF
the garish resorts of what the Ber-
! liner calls "das highlife."
Just now Nienna's revels are in full
swing for we are still in the season OF
| Fasching. the carnival time which be-
gins with the emperOr's ball at the
Hofburg in January and lasts till the
beginning of Lent. The young people
| of Austrian society have come up to
town from their lonely castle homes

night the quaint streets rattle TILL
dawn with the fast trot of well
hOrsed Zweispanner bearing home
tired but still merry parties of dance
loving Viennese.
But Fasching is far from being only
q society season. 1t is a time OF
gayety for every one. from the young
