REFORMED BY A SONG.

Nerdiea Saved Her Jewels and Made .
Thief a. Honest Man.
Nine. Lillian Nordica, the singer,
once upon returning from concert
tour decided to 80 straight to her villa
In France, accompanied only by her
maid. She knew there were no serv-
ants there At the time, but felt no
alarm. They arrived in the early even
ing and enjoyed being home again.
At nearly midnight they sat softly
talking together, with only the mellow
moonlight flooding the rooms, when
they heard a window of the south
balcony being raised, and an instant
later steps were heard in the hall.
Almost paralyzed with fear-no one
to help, no weapon at hand-there
flashed over the prima donna realiza-
ton Of her power Of song. 1T has
moved thousands" she thought, and
with trembling notes she began to sing
what had been uppermost In her
thoughts before the entrance Of the in
truder, Home, Sweet Home" The ex-
Quisite voice grew steadier, and it rang
out in its sweetest, purest strains.
Then followed "Old Folks at Home"
but her audience had gone The maid
saw a dark figure creep through the
window and steal across the lawn and
out of the gate.
Some weeks later Nordica received
the following letter:
Dear Madame-On the night Of the -
I entered your home to relieve you OF all
your diamonds, jewels and money, but an
angel song rang out in the sweet words OF
mothers songs, and my hand and heart
were arrested, and I vowed never, never
again to do aught that would sorrow that
sainted one.
I am now engaged in honest work. God
bless you!

FoREsAw HER DOOM.

Warnings o. Her Tragic Fate That
Came . Empress Elizabeth.
In my Royal Clients" n. PaoM. tho
famous French detective, writing Of
tho unfortunate Empress Elisabeth Of
Austria, who was % foully murdered
In Geneva in 1893. says that two
strange incidents incline one to the
belief that the empress received q pre-.
sentiment Of her tragic end
ION the eve Of her departure for
Geneva she asked Mr.. Barker to read
her . few chapters Of book BY Mar.
ion Crawford, entitled +Corleone,' In
which the author describes the detest-
able customs Of the Sicilian Malta.
While the empress was listening to
the narrowing story raven. attracted
by the scent Of some fruit which she
was eating, came and circled round
her. Greatly impressed, she tried to
drive It of, but in vain. for 1t con.
stantly returned, filing the echoes with
its mournful croakings. Then she rap
idly walked away. for she knew that
ravens are harbingers Of death when
their Ill omened wings persist in dap
ping round living person.
again, a lady In waiting told me
that on the morning of that day she
went into the empress room, as usual,
to ask how she had slept and found
her imperial mistress looking pale and
sad.
81 have had a strange experience
said Elizabeth. I was awakened In
the middle of the night by the bright
moonbeams which filed my room, for
the servants had forgotten to draw the
blinds. I could see the moon from my
bed and it seemed to have the face
Of a woman weeping. l don't know
if it is a presentiment, but have an
idea I shall meet with misfortune.
And it was few hours later that
Lucchini killed her with three cor
nered file clumsily fitted to wooden
handle.

Tn. Lssssnina Death Rate.

Some of the greatest advances OF
are made silently. They
escape the flourish of trumpets. while
other much less important advances
are accompanied by incessant drum
beating and pyrotechnics. The diminu-
ton of the death rate is one of the
signal triumphs Of modern enlighten-
ment. 1t is also one of the most po-
tent checks on economic waste. The
average age of each generation Is be-
ing materially heightened. and that re-
suit is chiefly being reached by stop
ping the excessive loss of infant life:
Yet few persons realize the extent OF
the beneficent progress thus made or
what it has meant in the way OF in
creasing the sum total Of human hap
piness and eficiency.-New York Trib-

It used to DO thought that tho golden

Geographic Magazine awards that dis.
tinction to the arctic tern. This bird
breeds 40 far north 40 It can nnd any.
thing stable on which to construct it,
nest. It has been found within seven
and half degrees Of the pole itself.
And that nest was found surrounded
by a wall Of newly fallen snow. which
the mother bird had carefully scooped
out from round her chick.
The tern arrives In the far north
about June Is and leaves again for the
south toward the last of August, when
the young are able to ly strongly. Two
or three months later the birds are to
be found skirting the edge of the ant
arctic continent. 1900 miles away.
What their track Is over that vast
space no one yet knows. A few indi.
viduals are occasionally seen along the
New England or Long Island coast
In the fall, but the hocks Of thousands
and thousands Of these gregarious birds
which alternate from pole to pole have
never been met by any trained observ.
or competent to learn their preferred
path and their time schedule. They
must travel at least $50 miles each
day-apart from their lights in search
or in pursuit Of food-to carry them
within ten or twelve weeks from one
end Of the world to the other.
The arctic terms enjoy more hours
Of sunlight than any other creatures
on the globe. The sun never sets dur
ing their stay at their northern nest
ing grounds, and during their stay In
the south they have two months OF
continuous sunlight and practical day
light for two months more. The birds
have twenty. -four hours Of daylight for

BATTLE OF THE KEGS.

An wars have their humors and
foxes. and the Revolutionary war was
NO exception. Jan. 3. l777. figures in
history % the date OF The hattie Of the
kes,, and, though bloodless, It has been
celebrated in vesse. Six months after
the Declaration Of Independence, while
tho British deet was stationed at Phil
adelphia, tho Americans undertook to
destroy the ships By means OF impro-
vised torpedoes, which, Get ahoat IN
the river above the city, were to carry
death and destruction among the en-
envy.
The alleged torpedoes were shaped
like kegs, and when the British land
forces discovered them floating down
the river they were drawn up and or.
dered to fire on everything that came
within range. The officers remembered
the Trojan horse and feared every key
might contain an armed rebel. AS the
kegs came floating down there was
great excitement and much firing. but
no casualties. The only explosions
were from the British guns. for the
torpedoes were failure.
The incident furnished much amuse-
ment to the patriots and was cleverly
versifled by Francis Hopkinson.
prominent lawyer of the day. one OF
the signers Of the Declaration Of hide
pendence and the first district judge
of Pennsylvania by appointment OF

PYTnoNs As PETS.

TIE Man Liked Them, but They Wsrs
Net Appreciated BY His wife.
An Englishman who spent much time
In Bengal tells In Blackwood's Maya
zine about q couple Of pythons that
were kept as pets. He says:
Zone hears q good deal about the
snakes, but one sees very little Of them
ut any time and in cold weather moth
ing at all. Indeed. the only snakes !
saw were two great pythons which
planter kept in one Of his indigo watts
for his private delectation He loved to
watch them and feed them and poke
them with stick and see their fiat,
vicious heads drive at 1t with the
speed and force of steam hammer.
"His wife liked them less because
one Of them had once escaped from the
vat and wandered into her bedroom
It was daytime, and she was resting
from the heat, and, hearing 1t advance,
breathing heavily, she thought 1t was
her somewhat asthmat!cal fox terrier
and told it to lie down. As It seemed
to be making for her bed instead, she
looked up to find that 1t was one of the
pythons looking for warm place In
which to lie. Her screams brought her
husband, who, annoyed by this esca-
pade Of a pet which his wife had new
er properly appreciated, thoughtlessly
seized it by the neck, with the result
that in twinkling 1t had knotted itself
around his arm and nearly pulped 1t
before his bearer could arrive and get
1t by the tail.
1.-TWO men, 1t seems, can deal with a
python fairly effectively by grasping
each an end of 1t, thus preventing 1t
from weaving itself into the coils that
crush. But no single man Is OF much
use, for the reason that he cannot In
the nature Of things grasp and keep
taut an eighteen foot length Of with
ing muscle. The planter told me that,
as it was, his arm had turned black and
blue all over, as If it had been squeezed
In a heavy door, and it was weeks be-
fore he could use 1t. But he still loved
his python"
