A Wren's Sinuino Lesson.

A wren whose nest was in box
near country house was watched by
the family as she patiently instructed
her little ones, says the Philadelphia
Ledger. Placing herself on one side
of the opening and in front of her pu
pills. she first sang her entire song very
distinctly. One little futterer opened
its mouth and tried TO follow her, but
after a few notes its voice gave out
and 1t lost the tune. Mamma Wren
Immediately took up the melody at that
point and sang 1t through as clearly ms
possible, when the youngster tried 1t
again and finished triumphantly.
Then the mother sang again. and an
other Nesting followed her. breaking
down as the first had done and begin
ming afresh. Sometimes there were
three or four failures before the tune
was carried through. but the wren al
ways began where the little one broke
down aud sang to the end. These sing
ing lessons lasted for some time, and
several of them were given every daS.

CUT RATE FOR AN AMERICAN
Judge Oonnelly's Amusing Experience
With the Sharp Irish Cab
Driver in Dublin.

Chief Justice Joseph G. Donnelly Of
the civil court, in illustrating an Irish
mans idea Of wit, told a story Of an
adventure with an Irish hack driver in
Dublin, relates the Milwaukee Wiscon-
sin.
q asked him how much he would
take to drive me to Hotel -" he
said. The driver looked at me and
said: You are from the states. aren't
you? l answered yes.
Well, he said, since you are from
the states, and I've driven nothing but
Englishmen all day, I'll drive you to
the hotel for three shillings.'
"As l Thought that was reasonable,
/ got into the hack We drove on and
on for hours, over hills and across
streams, until we finally got TO the
hotel While driving. | wondered at
the difference between this hack
driver and those in America, and won
dered what an American hack driver
would say if I were to hand him three
shillings for such long ride.
'I went to bed and slept sound that
night. When ! woke up early in the
morning, went down and out on the
front steps I almost tainted. for di-
rectly in front of the hotel was the
self-same depot that l arrived at on
the train. l suppose the hack driver
thought he was having a pile Of fun
while driving me around the city and

thought of that devoted young ma
tron, who, her front steps being COW
cred with sleet, sprinkled her first
husbands ashes over them in order
that her second husband might de
scend in safety?"
Smiling himself, Mr.. Pound re-
sumed:
And who could forbear another
smile at the thought Of the young
widow on the blustery March morning
who entered her drawing room to find
that the wind had overturned the vase
which contained her husbands re-

Swedish Court in Days Of Bernadotte.
II Lady Kilmarnock were ito wear
Scottish dress when she arrives in
Stockholm she would be like the wife
and family Of our ambassador there
so years ago, who were afterward told
by the maids of honor that they mis-
took the tartan for a livery of the
servants and wondered when the la
dies would appear. Court dress when
Bernadotte was king was sometimes
black and sometimes gray or white.
but it always included a particular
slashed sleeve, and the master Of cere-
monies fetched the minister to court
in a glass coach. In winter both the
king and the queen had a habit Of
turning night into day. She went out
driving after dark and dined after
the play, and he undermined the
health of his ministers by engaging
them all through the night or sum
moning them at in the morning. And
sometimes the king remained in bed
for weeks at a time, fearing poison,
and sustaining himself largely on az
pies in consequence.
