FELT HIS FAILING MEMORY
Keen Sorrow That cIouded the Closing
Years Of Amerioa's Great Poet.
Emerson.

/ had as a fellow-guest a man who
had long been intimate with Emer-
son and whom the poet wes very
glad to see. Talking after tea in
the library, Emerson said:
81 want to tell you about friend
in Germany, his name l cannot re-
MEMBER" and he moved to and fro
uneasily, in his effort to recall it.
'"This friend with whom we have
taken tea tonight, whose name also
l cannot remember" here again
came distressed look at the failure
Of his faculty, 81 cannot remember
his name either, but he can tell you
of this German friend whose name
/ have also forgotten.f
It was a sorrow to see the break
ing down of a great spirit and his
agitation as he was conscious of his
waning power. And yet, so far as
l could see, it was only the memory
that was going; the intellectual
strength was still apparent and the
amiability of his spirit was perhaps
even more manifest than in the years
when he was in the full possession
of himself.
This came out in little things; he
was overanxious at the table lest
the hospitality should come short,
troubled about the supply of butter
and apple sauce, and soon after |
saw him on his knees ON the hearth
taking care that the fire should catch
the wood to abate the evening cool
ness that was gathering in the room.

BRINGS ITS OWN WELCOME
shad Always Looked for When II
Makes Its Appearance as II
Does Every Year.

The shad, best when it is cheap
est, and best among the fifty or SO
varieties of food fishes cultivated in
American waters, has left its ocean
home to sport awhile along the riv-
ers, inlets and bays. Its presence in
such places gladdens the eye of the
fisherman who sights a rare harvest
in the silvery beauties so justly pop
ular at this season of the year.
What would be the springtime
without the succulent shad? The
big herring-for he belongs to the
family-fat, sleek and well favored,
migrates just about the time when
the flowers begin to peep and the
birds to sing. There are three vari-
eties of the species, but it would take
whole lot of eloquence to persuade
a Philadelphian that any other shad
on earth, or for that matter any fish
whatsoever, can come up to the de-
licious and toothsome dainty caught
in the Delaware.
The rumor of "planked shad" has
gone far abroad. Folk in foreign
lands have heard the fame of the
Delaware shad-feast for king.
Whatever the royal epicures may
have tasted by way of sumptuous
living, certainly nothing ever befell
them better than the flavor of shad
when it hits the palate. The chronic
crouch has a CLEAN in his eye when
he orders shad for supper. To gaze
upon it, baked and brown, and get
the downright flavor of it, ''just that
and nothing more," is to find the
soul in harmony with the whole
springtime chorus.
1t is said the shad travels 500
miles or more during the annual mi
grafton. This fact does not interest
one-half so much as the hope that he
will always travel the same way.

TAUGHT FLEDGLINes TO SING
Methods Of Mother Wren Were Thor
ough and Productive of Most Sat
isfactory Results.

The real musicians are the birds,
and it is interesting to know that the
young fedglings, in some cases at
least, have regular singing lessons
from the mother. A wren whose
nest was in a box near a country
house was watched by the family as
she patiently instructed her little
ones. Placing herself on one side
of the opening, and in front of her
pupils 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 it lost the tune. Nam
ma Wren Immediately took up the
melody at that point, and sang it
through as clearly as possible, when
the youngster tried it again and fin
ished triumphantly.
Then the mother sang again, and
another nesting followed her, break
ing down as the first had done, and
afresh. Sometimes there
were three or four failures before the
tune was carried through; but the
wren always began where the little
one broke down and sang to the end.
These singing lessons lasted for some
time, and several of them were given
every day.

Congestion Of population was the
subject Of a recent exhibition in
Gothem, remarks the Saturday Eve
ming Post. One exhibit consisted Of
q bell, with this legend beneath it:
every time this bell rings land val
ues in New York advance a thousand
dollars" The bell rang every five
minutes.
Sales of choice land parcels at a
valuation equivalent to $25,0O0,000
or $30,00O,000 an acre were men,
tioned--all leading up to the con-
clusion that, based on the average
rental Of a three-room tenement,
about one-third of the average fac
tory workers income goes for rent
lin other words, to support the
enormously enhanced market value
of urban lands that accrues to the
benefit Of the landlord.
Buildings are now taxed at the
same rate as land. Thus, if you tear
down an old, noisome, ramshackle
tenement worth $4,000, and re-
place it with a well-lighted, ventilat-
ed, sanitary structure worth 10000,
a grateful community Immediately
raises your taxes. Even in crowded
Manhattan more than 1000 parcels
of land lie vacant, being held by
spectators for a rise. By way Of
remedy it is proposed gradually to
lower the tax rate on buildings and
raise that on land, until the former
is only one-half of the latter; but
prudent landlords generally require
the lessee to pay all taxes on the
land.
There is a growing problem here
that will have to be solved before
many years Landlords viii not be
allowed to sit on the city's neck
with both hands in its pockets-in-
definitely.
