A JOKE ON THE LANDLADY.

Unpardonable Crim* of the Vetera., - .Boarder In Hie Vapth, “I nfcver had but one row in a boarding house,” said the veteran boarder, “and that I brought on inyself. ‘ln this house we certainly did have tough steak. Where they got it 1 never knew, i used to think they bought the sole leather remnants from a trunk factory about flour blocks from our house and cooked them for steak.

“Be that as it may, the steak wat tough and one night I conceived what I then thought was a felicitous fancy, “You have seen those knives with a cutting edge on one side and saw teeth on the other? They sell ’em to housewives for cutting off slices of ham, the knife to cut with and the saw to saw the bone. Well In my youthful foolishness I bought one of those saw knives and took it home, and the next night we had steak foi dinner I took it down and laid it beside my plate on the table. Well, it made a sensation.

“When my piece of steak came in 1 tried it first with the knife side of my saw knife, but there was nothing doing, and then I turned the knife over and tried the saw side and I sawed and sawed and sawed away, bending down over the plate and bearing on and sawing hard with all hands sitting around my table stopping eating and looking on, and'

"We were all having lots of fun, and then without any warning the landlady came In. She came in and rtood alongside of me, all without my knowing, with me keeping right on sawing, and then she touched me on the shoulder and I looked up, with the whole dining room now looking on, and then she stood there and looked down at me, just looked at me, that W’us all, but the look she gave me was enough. I put down the saw. “I hoped it would end there —I had put away the saw knife for good—but it didn’t. It was on a Thursday that 1 performed my great feat for the amusement of my table, and on Saturday when I paid my Doard for the week the landlady coldly informed me that my room had been rented to a boarder who would take possession of it next morning, Sunday, and that day I had to spend looking for another boardingi place, which was not at all funny.

“It Is difficult to find anything perfect all the way through. Tough as the steak undoubtedly was my room had always been kept in the pink of order and I certainly did hate to leave it. But .for such a crime as mine there could be no suspension oi sentence, for as every boarder should know there is one thing that no landlady will stand for, she will not stand making fun of her table.” —New York Sun.

Quail from Egypt.

A record consignment of 100.000 live Egyptian quails, requiring special conveyance, from Alexandria to London by way of the Manchester Ship Canal, left Alexandria on March 25, and reached Manchester last Saturday' when they were transferred to a special express tor London. Twenty drays were required to convey them from King's Cross to their destination. It is most extraordinary that although on many occasions search has been made, the breeding ground of the quails is absolutely unknown. They are trapped by Arabs, who deliver them in half dozens in boxes and baskets to the Egyptian Quail Syndicate s collecting depots, situated at all stations on the Egyptian State Railways between Alexandria and Assiout and Khartaum, and sent to the warehouse in Alexandria to await shipment. This warehouse is used exclusively for the purpose of keeping he quails until a sufficient number has been received, and is as large as the Agricultural Hall. The quails are placed in crates six feet long with six tiers and capable of holding 600 birds for shipment. As the syndicate only receives payment for birds which are alive when delivered, very great care and attention has to be paid to them during transit. Six Arabs are told off whose special duty it is to feed and water the birds twice every day, and during the present journey 100 bags, each weighing two hundred-weight of millet seed were consumed. One fine days the crates are .brought up to a sheltered position on deck for airing. —London Express. ■

Deadheads on a Russian Railway.

The Russian minister of ways arid communications recently requested the management of the Nikolai railway (St. Petersburg-Moscow) to furnish him with a list of passengers traveling without tickets over the lines during 1908. The return is now published. From this is appears that 32,834 so-called “deadheads’* used the line during the twelve months, some without tickets, but the larger number with passes irregularly obtained. Of these passes 716 were confiscated and the bearers compelled to pay their fares, and £1.849 was recovered by legal process. Seventeen guards and other officials were dismissed for collusion in the frauds. —London Evening Standard. ,

IN THE VALLEY OF DECISION.

By Miss Ella Kenney.

The pale shadows of departing day are creeping over thi earth, the last lingering rays of the setting sun cast a golden light on church spire and roof and the bluebird chants forth In melodious voice the last sweet notes of his evening Bong High up in her room among the stars face sits a girl, whose face and figure are thrown into strong relief against a background of scarlet and gold. She sits at the open window, and the soft mellow rays of the setting sun cast gentle shadows that seem to accentuate her Isolation. In her face Is expressed the remoteness of the spirit that will ever see visions and dream dreamß, wnile in her dwelt in sweet accord all * those qualities, those subtle elusive elements of perfection that we esteem but can never wholly fathom. As she raises her eyes her glance takes in the room—the open fire, the easy chair, the table on which rests a bundle of manuscripts, and a soft smile creeps over her countenance. Children of the Mist,’ - she murmurs, and lays caressing fingers on the neat pile of papers. Her fancy wanders in and out through the vista of departed years and she sees herself a young and happy girl embarking on the sea of literature. A brief and hardworking period of novitiate found her at the height of fame. Her books became a household possession and her presence was sought at many a gathering, not only for her fame as a writer, but because her sweet, sympathetic nature drew humanity toward her, and her charity and sweet helpfulness cheered many an unsuccessful follower.

One window of her room looked out on many a roof garden, but one little opening that caught the first sweet flush of dawn and the last lingering set of sun. She loved the wide glory of the purple sky. Its lbneliness and Its mystery. A sleeping princess, waiting for her prince,” she designated herself. This little world had at time a fairy brightness that contrasted with its occasional loneliness and the dark hour when frost and snow shut out her view of sun and moon and stars. It made one side of her life, one part of her existence. The other half of her consciousness belonged to the world outside, to the ostentation and vanities that characterized her fellowmen. She found that standing on the outskirts of the dim multitudes she could view here, as well as in her high window, rising cnostellatlous, fleeing eclipses and Intermittent silences.

The view fascinated her, and when at last the prince came, her whole heart had leaped responsive to the great happiness; she was carried along in the whirl; utterly swept off her feet, robbed of all volition. There seemed no leisure hours to spend at her high window, and she felt blinded and deafened by the clamor of her heert. But at last there came a quite moment when, seated In her nook among the stars, ner thoughts resolved themselves from chaos and she could Survey calmly and logically her position. As she glanced at the solitaire he had placed upon her finger she seemed to see In Its place a chain that bound her in rivets of steel.

“My wife,” he would say In one of their plans for the future, “must not be a public woman| The life of a woman in the public eye is utterly distasteful to me.” That she should give up her writing was the sum of his desires. At firstAfegfie poignancy of he: grief she ba<rttle--l to eliminate him from her life, but the long stretches of loneliness and the insistent cries of her heart rendered futile ail attempts at separation, and she realized with a pang that she had come to a parting of the ways. Now once more seated at her high window in the clouds, her hands caressingly, lingeringly laid upon her manuscripts, she feels that "something she had begun to live for has gone for nothing; something sweet, ardent and keen must come to an end. She crosses the room to the open fireplace, where the fitful darts of flame cast fantastic shadows on wall and floor, and kneeling, she stirs the dying embers. into a br'ght glow Then gdntly, tenderly, she places the neat parcel on the coals. of the Mist,” she whispers, “farewell.’" As the papers catch the glow they quicken Into flame, then die out; a coal becoming detached from its security falls with & sibilant, hissing noise and In the rosy glare 1b reflected a subtle change in the face of the kneeling girl—the old look of surprise In the brown eyes has gone; the old air of enchantment has departed; she seems to have gained In equipoise; she had lived through something. The sleeping princess had come Into her kingdom.

Steam Plant Accidents.

During the 12 months ending June 80, 1905, 14 persons were killed and 40 injured from British steam plant accidents; in the United States 388 persons were killed and 585 lnjuied. The number of steam boilers in the United States does not exceed by more than 60 per cent, those in Great firitian, so that, in comparison, the actual percentage is ten times as great In the United States as in England. During the last six months there have sailed eastward from New York city 113.678 passengers.

CRUELTY OF THE SPARROWS

fthown in a Raid Upon the Neat of Robins. **l have always had a kind word for the English sparrow.” said a suburbanite, but I have had to change my mind. I’m afraid I did not know the English sparrow after all. An old fashioned grape vine clambers over the lattice work of a back porch that a window at which I sit a great deal looks out upon. The porch is not more than eight feet wide, and so I was surprised this spring to see a pair of robins preempt a nook among the branches of the grape vine and make preparations for building their nest there, almost within reach of where I sat.

“I sat there every day and watched the progress of that nest building, from the wonderful weaving of the outer walls with straws and sticks and bits of string, the fashioning of them into the strong and symmetrical rim or the cuplike interior to the lining of this softer and warmer material. "From the beginning of the neat building by the robins I noticed that groups of sparrows watched the progress of the work, twittering all the time cheerily and evidently greatly interested in the proceedings, but not once exhibiting any hostility toward the robins, which I had always been told were especially attacked by the pugnacious -sparrows and persistently driven away by them. This conduct of the sparrows pleased me. Instead of pitching into the robins and driving them away,’ said I, ‘the sparrows are actually cheering them on and encouraging them. How easy it is to give a thing a bad name!' “The robins at last finished their nest, and the female began her laying. The time came when the female robin remaining on the nest showed that her eggs were all in the nest and she had begun their incubation. “Then the utter wickedness of sparrows was revealed to me. This was the time they had been waiting for. “Nothing could be plainer, for poor Mrs. Robin had settled herself on her eggs but a very short time when, as if by prearrangement, sparrows came pouncing down upon her from every direction, their cheerfuj chirping changed to vicious shrieks. The robin, taken by surprise by this fierce and sudden assault, made a desperate effort to defend herself and her home aided by her mate, who came hurriedly to the spot from his berth in an adjacent apple tree.

“Very soon the two birds were routed by the overpowering number of sparrows and were chased away‘by them. The robins alighted in a tree on the edge of the garden and made frequent and frantic essays at returning to the vine as with the hope oi recapturing their home, but were each time met by a horde of sparrows and driven back.

“Meantime another set of the vicious little marauders were busy at dismantling the robins’ nest. They tumbled the pretty eggs out of the nest and smashed them on the porch floor, and then picked and tore at the nest until they had a big hole through the bottom of it and its sides were broken and ragged. The work of ruin complete, the sparrows seemed to exult over their dastardly work. With the departure of the sparrows from the vine the robins ventured back to the scene and not a sparrow interfered with their return. Tlh» grief of the robins was pitiful to see, and after fluttering about their ruined home a while and inspecting it while the sparrows watched them from all sides, chattering like so many little fiends In enjoyment of the discomfiture of the robins, the Qespoiled pair flew to the apple tree, sat there a few moments in silent and mournful contemplation of the wreck of their home and hopes and then flew away and came back no more. “That the sparrows had daily watched that pair of robins patiently build their nest and waited until tjie eggs had been deposited In the nest, twittering and chirping cheerily uad encouragingly at them as the work progressed, so that the work of destruction they were intending in their wicked little hearts might be the more overwhelming and complete, I had no more doubt than that the nest was built.

“It was a case of premeditated vandalism of the most heartless kind and not only changed my opinion of the English sparrow but changed it so thoroughly that I am scattering lead among them now with a shotgun Instead of crumbs with m y hand.”— New York Sun.

Chinese Scholar on Marriage.

Sir Robert Hart, speaking of marriage and death customs in the Far East, tells a story of a great Chinese scholar and high official who said that our foreign way of letting the young People fall in love and choose and the Chinese way of first marrying and then making acquaintance reminded him of two kettles of water; the first —the foreign—was taken at the boiling -point from the fire by marriage and then grew cooler, whereas the second—the Chinese—was a kettle of cold water put on the fire by wedlock and afterward growing warmer and warmer, "so that,*' said hla friend, “after fifty or sixty years we are madly in love with each other!*’—Tlt-Blts.
