Instinct of Birds A FLOCK SEF.KS SHELTER FROM A STORM ON A VESSEL'S DECK. While a. British brig was gliding smoothly along before a good breeze in the South Pacific, a flock of small birds about the size, shape and color of paroquets, settled down on the rigging and passed an hour or, more resting. The second mate was s0 anxious to find out the species to which the visit- ing strangers belonged, that he tried to entrap a specimen, but the birds were too shy to be thus caught, and too spry to be seized by the quick hands of the Sailers., At the end of about an hour the bird's took the brig's course, and disappeared, but towards nightfall they came back and passed the night in the maintop. The next morning the birds flew off again. and when they returned at noon, the sailors scattered some food about the decks. By this time the birds had become so tame that they hopped about the decks picking up the crumbs. That after- noon an astonishing thing happened. The flock came flying swiftly toward the brig. Every bird seemed to be piping as if pursued by some little in- visible enemy on wings, and they at once huddled down behind a deck house. The superstitious sailors at once called the captain of the brig, who rubbed, his eyes and looked at the barometer. A glance showed that something was wrong with the ele- ments, and the brig was put in shape to outride a storm. The storm carne about twenty minutes after the birds had • reached the vessel. For a few minutes the sky was like the water.ess bottom of a lake -a vast arch of yellowish mud -and torrents of rain fell. Why it did not blow very,hard no one knows; hut on reaching port, two days later, they learned that a great tornado had swept across that part of the sea. -From Our Dumb Animals. Government Cuts. Some three hundred and odd cats are maintained by. the United States government, the cost of their support being carried as a regular item on the accounts of the post office department. These cats are distributed among about fifty post offices, and their duty is to keep rata and mice from eating and destroying postal matter and canvas sacks. Their work is of the utmost importance wherever large quantities of mail are collected, as for example, at the New York post office, where from 2;000 to 3,000 bags of mail matter are commonly stored away in the base- ment. Formerly great damage was done by the mischievous rodents, which chewed holes in the sacks, and thought jnothing of boring clear through bags of letters in a night. Troubles of this sort no longer occur since the official pussies keep watch. Each of the postmasters in the larger cities is allowed from $8 to $40 a year for the keep of his feline staff, sending his estimate for "cat meat" to Washing- ton at the beginning of each quarter. A LARGE WAIST Is not generally considered a necessary adjunct to the grace, beauty or sym- metry of the womanly form. Within the body, however, is a great waste made necessary according to the con- dition of things -continually in process and requir ing the perfect action of all bodily functions to absorb or dispel the refuse. When there is irregularity or inaction, ladies who value a clean, pure, healthy body will take Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription -the onlyrem edy for woman sold with aositive guaran- tee to right all her peculiar wrongs. To these about to become mothers, it is a priceless boon, for it lessens the pains and perils of childbirth, shortens labor, promotes an abundant secretion of nourishment for the child and short- ens the period of confinement. Dr. Pierce's Pellets cure biliousness, constipation, sick headache, indiges- •tion, or dyspepsia, and kindred dis- eases. A cyclone in the Chickasaw nation, Texas, blew down 20 houses and injur- ed a number of people, some fatally. "Ten people out of a dozen are invalids," says a recent medical author- ity. At least eight out of these ten, it is safe to allow, are suffering from some form of blood -disease which a persistent use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla Would be sure to cure. Then don't bo :in: invalid. Gold amounting to $1,200,000 was *tripped to Europe on the steamship Dave from New York las, week.

"Colne in," said Patrick. The next moment a lovely vision stood before him, As Patrick slowly unwound his legs and recovered from his surprise. the vision resolved itself into a stately young woman, with flash- ing blue eyes, a shapely figure with an environment of laces ; ,in a word, a styl- ish girl, magnificently gowned, who car- ried herself with a certain inpprioue,air that quite overwhelmed the proprietor of the detective agency... Patrick arose with a start. "Will you by seated, madam?" be said. "Miss Hobson, if you please." She took the choir ire offered her. "You probably know of 1110?" "Hobson & Moore?" interrogated Pat- riok. J. L. Hobson is my father." Patrick became more obsequious, than ever, Hobson was one of the merchant princes of the west and this young wo• man sole heir to $10,000,000, more or less. "What can I do for you ?" stammered Patrick. "You doubtless are surprised to see me?" "Somewhat, Miss Hobson." "Well, 1 do not call about any domes tic troubles." "Alt 1" "There is no skeleton in the closet." "No, certainly not, Miss Hobson." "Do you know Jack Rowlston ?" "Yes." Patrick knew him well and he waited "DO Y017 KNOW JACK ROWLSTON." anxiously for hie visitor to state the ob- ject of her query. "Wells he wants to marry me." "Indeed ?" said Patrick, for want of something better to remark. "Yes ; he asked me four years ago, and I refused him." "Oh 1" "He repeated his request two years ago and I said no." "Oh 1" "Last week he asked me again, and I reversed my decision." "I understand." "The trouble with Jack is that he is too t+1ow ; no life ; no dash. He is too denture and quiet." Patrick opened his eyes. This of spirited Jack Rowlston? "In fact, he is so conservative and different from other young men that I begin to suspect that lie is a hypocrite - yes, sir, a hypocrite. He only talks to me about business and music and will hardly smoke a cigar with papa and papa says : 'There's a young man without a flaw.' Now, I like good young men, but I can't help thinking that Jack ex- aggerates his virtues, for surely no young man was ever born who was quite so good as he would make me believe he is. In fact, he is such an impersonation of perfection that I fear I am not enough of an angel ever to wed him." "Really 2" said the amused Patrick. "I wouldn't for the world like to think him fast, for I like Jack, but if he only was a little different -just a trifle less stupid- enore entertaining and-;ind, you know." "I think I understand," observed Patrick with a grin. "But I am couvinced that be is a de- ceiver. He wants to win the by profess- ing to have all the virtues, not knowing that if he were only a little more open "I GUESS I'D BETTER GO, MARGARET." The fact is, this is a woman's age, and no girl wants to be treated like a doll. Now, if Jack only made more of a chum of me, if—" Here her eyes flashed and her voice faltered. "But my business is thio; I want you to write me up a journal of all ho does for a week." "But, my dear Mise Hobson—" "Here is your first fee." And she laid a crisp $100 note on the desk. "I was intending to buy a spring bonnet with that, but I shall devote my pin mono to unmasking Jack, Send me your re- port in a week. Remember, all about him, bathing extenuating. If I can only show him in his true colors, I -but good day, sir. In a week 1 shall expect the report." Witb. that the vision vanished. Then Patrick leaned back in Ids chair and roared with Ititigliter. He forgot all his matrimonial trouble..

Olt, 1 know all about your toast. I have a stenographic report Of it, Let me see: "New faces -new voices -new charms What are they?

Cloistered in my heart she grows more dear like the wine of the plonks kept iu their dingy cellars.' Dear rue, Jack, and I thought you stupid.

Jack looked dumfounded; then amaz- ed. "Well, this is a pretty go," he said to himself. "And how about Friday night at the club, Jack ; Saturday night at the opera -a front seat, too, and thea leaving the theatre between every act ? Tile,' that wheat deal ? I thought you regarded all speculations in a high-and-mighty way of disapproval ? What about those fast horses of yours ? And is it true you have stock in the new track ?

"Nell, let us part friends, at least." She extended her hand with a bright smile. He kissed it with deference and she looked deep into his ei es. "Why not my lips, Jack ?" In a moment she was in his arms. "Then you love mei" "Yes; since I know you." "But how—" "Never mind how. You would not give me your confidence, and so I found out myself." And you will marry me, Margaret ?" "Yes, if you will promise—" "What!" "To make mo your confident -your chum -not to try to keep anything frail me? For trust me, Jack,a woman always finds out w..at she wants to know," "1 promise." " One word more, Jack. Was I - was I - " that old sweetheart of yours ?" "You were: I have loved you all these years, Margaret." "And I,Jack, have loved you -not the Jack you showed to me, but the Jack I believed you were. •Thie is/the nineteenth century, Jack, and woman is man's companion, not a plaything or a doll. And now sit down, Jack, and I will play you that dashing new dance of Chami- nade. She is a woman, Jack, •aitd wo- men have their place to -day in the busi- ness world and in the field of art. Is not this motive charming? It is like an accompaniment to your worJs: 'A true sweetheart is like wine, and improves with age.' " "Floating a Duffer." A friend of mine informs me that it is the easiest thing in the world to float an absolute duffer as a geuius of the first class. He tells me it is only a matter of time, money and judicions advertise- ment. Of course, the first and second elements are undoubtedly necessary for the adequate exploiting of the third. But, given these conditions,- he says he will undertake that man of little educa- tion and no particular ability may take his stand as a man of the highest im- portance in any line he may choose to adopt. If this be the case, it is a pity a company is not formed to take the mat- ter up and work it. The Booming Soci- ety would bo a very good title for such a corporation, and as there are plenty of nobodies with money,who are anxious to persuade the world they aro men excep- tionally distinguished, there would be probably every chance of such a project becoming a paying concern. If the chairman and directors- happened to be acute students of human nature, the shares in such a company would, doubt- less, soon be at a premium. -London Graphic. A Fl.h Drown's au Aagle. At the mouth of Octoraro Creek, four miles above Port Deposit, is a bed of gravel, where shad, rock and herring go to spawn. In the spring and early sum- mer large schools of fish go to this local- ity, and bald and gray, eagles dock to the vicinity for the purpose of preying on them. The water on the Cecil Coun- ty side is abont 10 feet deep, and being clear, the fish are readily seen by their winged enemies. ,A gray eagle saw a rockfish in the water and pounced upon biro, *inking his talons deep into the side, of the fish. When the bird at- tempted to arise he found the load more than he. could carry. He could not re- lease bis ahold either. Finally he was dragged under the water and 'drowned. Tho current carried the eagle and the fish into a flshpot, where tke bodies were found, with the hold of the eagle unrelated. The fish weighed 16pounds. and the bird measured air feat from tip to tip of the Wing.

Teddy's idea seemiug a good one, at daybreak next morning four of us, tak- ing our rifles, a barbed grappling, iron and a coil of rope, set out for the lagoon. We found its further or northern ex- tremits to consist of a narrow creek,and this was closely bordered on both sides by water palms. With scute difRcnity our quartet. com- prising Thin Alden, two other men and myself, gained the westward margin of the watery lane, where we ensconsed ourselves its the matted brushwood, deeming, it imprudent to take opposite sides for fear of accidents in possible cross firing. We were perfectly concealed from all observation except that of the jeering monkeys, who, looking down on us front their leafy heights, kept up a ceaselese clamor of derisive cries. Directly fronting us on the east side of the creek, there lay, extended along the water's edge and not more than eine yards away, the fallen trunk of a laurel tree, from which rose several broken and partially decayed branches, the whole being in deep shade, as the sun had not yet risen high enough to fully light that part of the island. While we were patiently waiting. Alden nudged me and whispered : "See what beautifully variegated moss covers �Z- • "FAST IN THE FANGS or A MONSTROUS ANACONDA." - ono of those limb stubs? We must gather some of it before we go back to camp." I was about to make sorne common- place reply, when, thirty, or forty yards south of us, I noticed a slight undula- tion of the water, and presently there appeared above its surface, first the head and then the back of a full grown manatee, followed immediately by a like einerging of a calf, a coritical looking little creature not half so long at its mother• After inhaling air for half a minute or so, the pair sank again and, as we plainly saw by the ripples, began to feed on bottom growing plants, along the east shore and directly toward the head of the lagoon. The next time they rose for air they were twenty yards nearer us than bo - fore, and,I whispered to Aldeu : "Wait till they get into the shadow between us and the big log; then, when their heads show, you take the old one and I'll take the youngster, shoot straight for the brain and they'll never know what hurte them." Tom nodded assent, and we waited In silence. The water Shoaled so rapidly now,that by the time the animals were abreast of us, and within three feet• of the laurel log, the mother's rounded beck appear. ed above the surface, and the little one using its bandlike flipper to climb with, ecrambling upon it, riding exactly its I have seen the young of an African hip- popotamus.

But as the reptile compressed its over - folds _tighter ver- folds:tighter and tighter, two simultaneously fired bullets shattered its flat head, and its great length, slowly uncoiling, straightened out along the blood-stained surface of the creek.

Although the monuments and papyri give us no direct information upon the subject of the exodus, they do indirectly indicate itera i c a nP eri od within which it must have taken place, says a writer in Scribner's Magaztne. Thoth riles 1II., who was the most powerful king of that dynasty (the eighteenth) which finally drove the Hyksos invaders out of Egypt and 11 milted the whole country under one sceptre, extended his conquests as far as Mesopotamia, orerruning Pales- tine on his way. He left lists of the conquered natious, but does not men- tion the Israelites among them. Ra- meses 1I. of the nineteenth dynasty, the supposed oppressor, who reigned about two hundred years later, also subdued Palestine, and left lists of the conqur red peoples, but lie, again, does not mention the Israelites among thesis What is, perhaps, still more important is that, while the Israelites have left re- cords of invasion by Mesopota- miens, Moabites, Canaanites, Mbl- ianites and Philistines, they do not mention any invasion by the Egyptiats and the conclusion is that the Israelites were not settled on the west side of Jordan till after the wars waged by Rameses II. at the commencement of his reign, which began not earlier than 1388 B.C., or, tis some now say, 1260 B.C. It has been attempted to explain this difficnity away by suggesting that Rameses IL kept close to the seacoast on itis march through Palestine and did not strike inland till he was some dis- tance to the north of the Israelites, but it is incouceivable that be should not Lave secured his long line of communi- cations by establishing posts 80 far in- land that they must have been brought into contact with the Hebrews if the tat- ter bad at that time been settled in their own country. The earliest date, there- fore, at which the Egyptian history will permit the exodus to have taken place, even when full allowance is made for the time spent by the Jews iu tine wil- derness and in conquering Palestine, would seem to be about 1480 13.C., while, if the shorter clu•onolegy be adopted, it could not have been much earlier than 1300 B.C. Polyglot Hawaii. English is the court language here. To curry on business, and frequently to conduct one case, four interpreters are required. These are Hawaiiau,tiuinese, Portuguese and Japanese. Tide cos- mopolitan population has naturally de- veloped some extraordinary linguists. There are scores of citizens, including nearly all of the ufficials, who read, write, and speak Hawaiian as well as their mother tongue. It is said that Germans acquire the • native tongue more readily titan any other foreigner. One of The Stur printers is a genuine polyglot, He has traveled in Europe and South and North America. He speaks Eugliate French, Gorman, Portu- guese, Italian and Spanish, and has ac- quired a smattering of native. Touut, toe Japanese detective, is a freak in the linguistic lime. He reads, writes, and speaks English, and claims to be au Am- erican eitizeu. On occasion he can handle native, Spauish, Portuguese, and Chinese. Traveled persons who have been here any length of time unite in saying that Hawaiian is very easily learned -that a few months of application will master it. -Hawaiian Star. A 34 -Year -Old Letter. "It is an exceedingly rare thing now• adays in any civilized country for a let- ter, properly stamped, sealed and ad- dressed, to fail to reach its destination," said a govermnent official. -Sonia' Ines letters are written which are never re- ceived, but the great number of letters which go to the dead letter office be• cause they are not properly addressed. or not addressed at all, serve to explain the greater part of these rare disappear- ances. Now and then, however, some- one somewhere in this country is aston- ished to receive a letter that was writ• ten and posted years before. Not long ago a lady tit Vermont received a letter which was written and bore evidence of having been mailed in 1860. The stamp on the letter was obsolete, but the postoflice department forwarded it to its destination, as the stamp was good at the time it was first mailed. Where the letter had beets all these years was never explained, but it may be surrnisod that it had slipped into some crank or crevice in the course of transmission, and re- mained there until the making of cer- tain repairs revealed .it. It was then put in the mail anew and nothing said about it." -St. Louis Globe -Democrat. Asparagus and Sparrow Grass. The history of the English name for asparagus shows, by the way, sows curi- ous fluctuations of tastes in words. At the present time, and of recent years, asparagus is the polite form, and spar. row -grass is left to the illiterate.

The fashion of wearing' pointed toes in boots and shoes has caused a very painful curvature of the toes, from which a great number of people are at this present moment suffering. The great toe is hent in and pushes one or more of the smaller toes out of posi- tion, raising them on one joint in a form which has caused the doctors to call them hammer toes. Surgeons have provided for this an apparatus to be worn all night, and, it possible, during the hours of leisure in the day- time. This consists of a splint resemb- ling a sandal, which fits along the base of the foot, and is provided with tapes passed under and over the toes in such a fashion as to bend down the joint that has become raised. The cure is almost a painless one, and, if taken in time and persevered in, may avert what is an extremely painful opera tion, that of cutting the tendons uudern.eath the toe. Consumption Cured.
