In an intensely bitter anti-American article the Saturday Review advocates Gcrman-Kngllsh friendship for tho purposo of holding the United States in check. Kmp ror "William, it declares, sees In the growing German population of Chile and Brazil the inevitable necessity for future inter: erence which, "in any form involves a conflict with the United States." This, the Saturday Iteview holds. It is impossible fir Germany to wage successfully If Great Llitain is hostile. "While not advocating an alliance with Germany against the Unitee. States," the Review says, "w advocate -Ulli less one with the United States agennst Germany. But in the event of a conti -t we might, with advantage to ourselves, nold the balance.

lca.t stable ground on which we can lay the foundations of o'-,r foreign r-jlicy." Under the capti-. "Crisis in the Rritish Iron Industry," the Statist to-day, p.fter expatiating on the enormous developments In this line In the United States to the detriment of Great IJrltain, earnestly advocates the Importing of ore trom Newfoundland and Nova Scotia and the establishment .in I-Inland of basic furnaces by which alone that ore ran 1- treated. "The revolution in the Rritish industry rnv:st begin with the construction of basic furnaces for the utilization of phosphoric ore." the paper adds, "which soon will be all that is available. Rut that will not sufiice to preserve our steel-making industry. We must also merge our smelting and steelrnaklng in one continuous, roaomical process." In corroboration of the Statist's remarks it is expected to-day that in tho Scotch steel trade many works will remain closed throughout January owing to the uncombatible competition of America ami the continent and the dearth of fresh orders. 31. LAiiours lips sn.Li:i.

He Decline to IlevenI "Wluit He Know About Ilrcyfim. PAItIS, Dec. 7. The general expectation of sensational disclosures in Labori's explanations of his rupture with Dreyfus has thus far been disappointed, as he announces that his lips are sealed by professional secrecy from telling the story of the actual breaking of relations with the Dreyfus family. Ills articles up to now have taken' the form of a personal polemic against JUL Reinach and Rcrnard Lazare, but they have gone to show how wido is the breach between Dreyfus and Reinach and the former's champion. The friends of both Fides are pained to read fuch letters as Lazare writes to M. Labori, n which, declining to reply to certain allusions by the latter, he says: "It is unnecessary for me to help you in throwing down your own statue. You app-jar quite able to do the work yourself." Tie anti-Dreyf usard press naturally exult over h what they describe as "a display of 'dirty Dreyfusard linen," and, with Machiavellian intention, urge Maitre Labor!, now that he has been thrown over by hli ungrateful friends, to reveal the whole supposed Dreyfusard conspiracy against the army. On the other hand, M. Yves-Guyot, In'the Siecle, says the adversaries of Dreyfus are mistaken if they imagine that any proof of his guilt will emanate from the polemics of his former friends, but he repeats his prediction that the Dreyfus affair will dominate the election of i:02, as it did those of The accusation of Major Carrlere that governmental pressure had been put on him to plead in favor of the Innocence of Dreyfus continues to bo discussed, and General De Galltffet to-day again denied any part therein and challenged his accusers to arraign him in the high court. Revolt Against Taxen. PARIS. Dec. 7. Tho Temps to-day publishes a dispatch from Tunis saying that serious disorders have occurred at SoukelDjemas, near Tripoli. The natives, discontented with the imposition of new taxes, madß a demonstration in tho market place and a conflict with the police ensued. Two companies of infantry, which were dispatchedto restore order, were stoned and attacked with cudgels. When the soldiers quelled the outbreak they found six Arabs and two Turks were killed and that numberr. were wounded. Martial law has been proclaimed in the disturbed district. The consuls have been urged to request foreigners to seek refuge within the towns. StambouIofTa Alleged Assassin. LONDON, Dec. 7. The Veinna correspondent of the Central News announces the arrest at Sofia, after a violent resistance, of a man named llalju, who is alleged to be the assassin of Ex-Premier Stambouloff. The police have been on the lookout for llalju ever since the murder of M. Stambouloff, but he has only just returned to Bulgaria. He emptied two revolvers at his captors, but none of the bullets took effect. Ilaron Fnva AVant.n Information. ROME, Dec. 7. In the Senate to-day Baron Fava gave notice of. his intention to interpellate the, Foreign Ofiice, regarding the present status of the question pending between the government of Italy and tue United States government arising from the lynching of two Italians at Erwin, Miss., in Julv last, and how it was proposed to settle the affair.

The steamer Gauss, bearing the German Antarctic, expedition headed by Professor Von Drygalski, which sailed from Kiel Aug. 11 and arrived at Cape Town about two weeks ago, after considerable anxiety ns to her safety had been aroused, proceeded yesterday for the Antarctic regions. Tho Governor General of Warsaw and Other officials have officially expressed regret to the German consul for the recent attacks by students upon the consulate and have promised to replace the German coat-of-arma with appropriate ceremonies. Criminal proceedings have been instituted against the persons who took part in the demonstration. COURTS IN CONFLICT. Judge Speer Threaten to Send Prominent Ilusinens 3Ian to Jail. MACON, Ga.,'Dec. 7.-Federal and State courts came into sharp conflict to-day over a receivership. Judge Speer, of the former, had demanded that Receiver T. J. Carting, appointed by Judge Kelton. of the latter, should turn over all property in his hands as such receiver to the United States marshal. The limit of time for so doing was fixed at 10 o'clock. Carting's attorney came Into court and asked to be heard on a petition of revision and review. He was Instantly asked if Carling had obeyed the court's mandate. The reply was he had not. Whereupon Judge Speer immediately ordered Carllng's arrest for contempt and further directed he be taken and be confined in the jail at Savannah. Carllng's attorneys were thunderstruck. They abandoned further argument and went Into consultation in view of the iuthmiied immediate execution of the order. Before they had concluded Judge Speer announced that the execution would be delaved ten days in order that CarHng's attornes muht have a chance to go before the United States Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans. Curling is one of the most prominent business men in Georgia and has national prominence as a Mason and Knight of Pythias. To Tet Alabama' Cout 1 1 utinn. BI KM INGHAM, All..

NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-The chairman of the railroad passenger association in the United States, comprising what Is known as "The Railroad Ticket Protective Bureau," met at the rooms of the Trunk-line Association in this city to-day. Considerable evidence was produced, showing that a large number of fraudulent tickets are in the hands of innocent purchasers, and it was decided to inaugurate a vigorous and aggressive campaign to prevent the traveling public from being imposed upon by ticket scalpers or persons ngaged in lixing, altering or manipulating railroad tickets or other form3 of transportation. Van Sant May Call u Con f erence. ST. PAUL, Minn., Dec. 7. Governor Van Sant may call a conference of the Northwestern Governors to assemble in Montana, for consideration of the so-called merger of the Northern Pacific, Great -Northern and Burlington railway. No official announcement has been made to this effect, but the Governor is so much pleased with the replies he has received from the Governors to whom he addressed letters on the subject, that it is believed that this course will be pursued. Attorney General Douglass has about finished the preparation of his case against the consolidation plans. Rates Cut to 3Ieet Competition. CLEVELAND, Dec. 7. The Leader tomorrow will say: "The Lake Shore Railroad has announced a reduction in rates between Toledo r.nd Chicago from J7 to Vj.ZO. This is tho immediate result of the prospective opening of the new ToledoMontpelier line of the Wabash between Toledo and Chicago. It is expected the entire basing tariff between Buffalo and Chicago will be affected by this rate. The Wabash has announced that it would meet the competition of the Lake Shore, and has promulgated the rate for basing purposes to its connections." ; The Lnkc Shore Objected. CLEVELAND, Dec. 7. The Leader tomorrow will say: "There is a well-defined rumor in railroad circles that the proposed agreement between the Wheeling & Lake Erie and the Big Four for the use by the former of the latter's track between Wellington and Cleveland has lapsed. It is said the objections of the Lake Shore to the movement which would give the Wheeling t& Lake Erie and the Wabash together a strong competitive line into Chicago and also into the Southwest, is responsible for the change of front In this matter." Will Spend Three Millions. HOUSTON, Tex., Dec. 7. It is announced officially that the Southern Pacific will during the coming year expend JC,000,O.O on the Atlantic system between El Paso and New Orleans.

This appointment completes the passenger organization of the Seaboard Airline in Eastern territory, representatives now being stationed in all the large Eastern cities. CHEAP STATUETTES. Large Demand from Schools Less Sale for the Aude. New York Evening Post. While it is not difficult to secure good American workmen for carrying out schemes of interior decorations, it is impossible yet to get native-born men capable of modelling statuettes and busts such as are sold on the street corners and in many of the art shops. All the workmen cmployed in factories that produce these are Italians, chiefly from Tuscany. This Is equally true of those who follow this trade In Germany and France. The Tuscans appear to have a natural ability for that sort of work that has given them the monopoly of it. The great majority of these busts and statuettes are copied directly from the originals wherever they happen to be, and then the molds are made from that copy and sent to all parts of the world, the statues being'cast in the place where they are to be sold. In the larger shops in this city, however, a certain amount of original work is done In order to keep pace v.ith the popular demand for representations of the hero of the hour. A great many of our most distinguished poets, authors and statesmen, whose busts are exposed for sale on the street ' corners, never sat for these portraits. Some workman modeled the head after a photograph and occasionally has produced such good work that. It is almost a pity the sculptor's name should remain unknown. The chief purchasers of these casts from the larger makers are the high schools all over the country. They Jemand, of course, not only classical subjects and copies, of ancient bas-reliefs and architectural details, but also busts of famous men and women from every period of the world's history. Such a wide range of subjects is covered by this demand that seven" and eight thousand titles are Included in some of the catalogues Issued. The factories where these figures are turned out exhibit in their showrooms an assortment and confusion of time, place and nature bewildering to look at. The process of casting tin so statuettes is a comparatively simple one when the mold is once completed. The material used, plaster of paris. Is cheap, and a very excellent quality is produced in this country. When the statuette comes out it Is pure white and covered with lidges made by the different sections of the mold. These ridges are carefully removed, ami then the cast is placed in an oven heated at about 10 degrees. After it has baked for a certain length of time it is plunged into a solution of stearic acid and kept there until thoroughly saturated. Then, w hen It has dried, the yellow color is gained by applying to the1 surface a solution of beeswax, turpentine and coloring matter. This color will not wash off, and, of course, any shade can be produced at will. "The demand for nude statues in the art schools is growing less every year," said one of the largest makers of these casts. "That Is because people are realizing more and more that artists must draw from the human figure itself if they wish to understand the human form. We get more orders now for draped p.gures in the art schools. and for buts in the hiiih schools. Until very recently the busts of most of the celebrated Americana which we sell had been made In Italy from photographs sent over from this country, and many mistakes occurred in matters of detail, like the cut of the coats and collars. We are trying to do

these now In a more modern and characteristic way, and, occasionally have been furnished with rhotographs . by their families." - ' ' The statuettes which are carrie-d about the streets wrapped In harmonious yellow tLssue paper or are dlsplay-ed on the sidewalks or on the fcteps of unoccupied houses are made by quite a different set of manufacturers. The larger dealers do not sell to these street peddlers at all. The peddlers have their o,vn' little workrooms which furnish them with their stocks at a much lower rate than the regular dealers charge. No originals are made in these ateliers, and most of the molds are gained by taking them from a cast bought from some other firm. The stearic acid bath is left out of the process, and, consequently, the color of these cheaper works washes off. The peddlers of these statuettes stand in about the same relation to sculptors and sculpture that the hand-organ players do to music and musicians. They reflect falrly accurately the popular taste, and, according to their testimony, it is the Tanagra figurines that in the long run sell the best ot all their stock. From time to time thre is a market for the bust of some particular man, as there was once for that of Admiral Dewey, but "Admiral Dewey, he played out now," said one of these men, and those sales are always temporary. Grotesque figures are always in demand, and copies of the various models of Venus with which the public are - familiar. Rows of Cupids and of monks' heads, winged Victories, and busts of Wagmr come and go as popular favorites, but the Tanagra figurines have a steady sale that Insures their presence in the stock of nearly every street peddler.

NOTES ER0M RICHMOND. Proposed Suit Agnlust the State Damage Case Compromised. Special to tho Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND, Ind., Dec. 7.-IIon. Charles E. Shiveley, of this city, a member of the board of control of the Jeffersonville Reformatory, is authority for the statement that an important suit will soon be filed against the State in connection with the new cellhouse at the institution. The board this week made the final payment of Ju.u'jO to the contractors, McCormick & Co., of Columbus. They accepted that amount, but demanded 4-3, Oou for extras. This nie board declined to pay, and the contention will be settled in the courts. This was divorce day in the Circuit Court and several well-known people were granted decrees. Among the number were Alary b". Henderson and Jmos W. Henderson, the former securing the divorce on statutory grounds. George F. Stearns, formerly a prominent business man of this city, died to-day at his home in Atlanta, Ga, The remains are being brought here. Two sons survive him. The last of the suits from this section growing out of the Grand Rapids 5c Indiana wreck in Michigan in August of YjQ has been settled out of court.

CHICAGO, Dec. 7.-Worthlcss notes of the defunct State Bank of New Brunswick, N. J., representing a face value of oer $12,000, were seized by secret-service agents of the government to-day in a ralel on the ofiice of Stevens öi Ce).t No. 3 Dearborn street. Aroused by the many complaints received recently from persons who claimed to have been victimized into selling goods for notes of this character, the government officials made an investigation. Silas C. Stevens, is said to be the only member of the' concern, and he refused after th- raid to make a statement as to his business. While the notes are not clasped as counterfeit, they are said to be more dangerous, because of their resemblance to the genuine issue of "greenbacks." All the bank notes seized In the raid had a fresh appearance, but it is not known whether they were printed recently, or were left over from the original istue before the civil war. IWCEKTAIXTIKS OF E.NGlAEEimC.. Sclent iilc Accuracy Not Yet Achieved in This Line. Engineering Magazine. Conflicts, discrepancies and compromises are by no means confined to ajry one department of engineering. In hydraulic engineering, for example, there are more than a score of different formulae for the computation- of thickness of cast-iron pipes. The sizes of wrought-iron pipes have been standardized by some of the leading manufacturers, but there are still iron pipes sold which vary frc?m the standard. In casting forglngs, though notable advances have been latterly made, these very advances indicate how . much yet remains undertermined. In tool steels and their management there is yet much to be learned. Of the innumerable possible alloys, there are probably not more than L'mt, taking all the arts of construction and manufacture into consideration, which have been investigated and found valuable nnd useful. The subject of elastic limits ami their relation to endurance under dead and live loads, loads suddenly applied and removed, and shocks, needs further and exhaustive investigation till such definite ainl uniform results are obtained as will establish laws of endurance beyond any question. The study of building materials and cements, and also of materials for paving streets, is far from complete. The preservation of metal structures is a problem as yet only very partially solved. In heating and ventilating there are yet many moot questions. In gas engineering there remains open debate upon many Important points f vital anil fundamental interest. Discussions and disputes upon undecided points are found in almost every issue of publications devoted to electrical engineering. Machinists are still at variance, both in theory and practice, as to the bst proportions of the teeth of gear wheels. The highest sfx-od at which gearing- ought to be run is also In dispute. The whole subject of friction and lubrication is marked by difference of opinion and doubt. Heavy Purchase of Sisal. LEAVENWORTH. Kan., Dec. 7. Warden Jewctt, of the Kansas State penitentiary, and the wardens of Minnesota and South Dakota, are expected back next week from Yucatan and M ?xlco, where they went with $."jh),cn) to purchase sisal. Movements of the otlklals were kept secret to prevent interference from the twine trust, which last year forced prices, keeping prison ofilcials from buying. Sheldon Hc-EIeeted Captain.

Philadelphia Record. Cats at least, some cats are either prescient or have a reasoning comprehension of human speech witness these two cases ia point: The first concerns TangleEye, a white kitten, sole salvage from a litter of nine which grew to lusty cathood, the pet of a young woman. Its home was a big plantation house, where its motherhad been for years an honored and successful ratter. She was a big tortoise-shell, and, except when there were rats about, the moral and pattern of feline gentleness. Her son, who had one blue eye, one yellow, was not deaf, as is common with blue-eyed cats. Contrariwise, he had a wonderfully fine ear, particularly sensitive to the flittering and tiutterlngs of fledgelings crowded out of the nest. He would dash from the piazza at the faintest rustle of wings to pounce upon the luckless birdlings, and devour them forthwith. For this his mistress rated him soundly, and after a while whipped him. Ills feelings were deeply wounded. She was the only person he ever permitted to touch him. Ho followed her about wherever she went. The whipping did not change that, but evidently in revenge for it began tc kill chickens, plump young things, just sprouting pen feathers. The killing was done openly. Sometimes, Indeed, he fetched his victims t-j'.d laid them at his mistress's feet, maiouiug up at her the while. This was "most intolerable and not to be ondured." Still she could not bear to think of killing her pet, not even though he showed himself a wanton murderer. When he killed the seventh chick she saiel to him, reprovingly: "Tangle-Eye, do you know what will become of you? I shall send j'ou to the millerhe is overrun with rats and you will never see me any more." Tangle-Eye trotted off, his tail high and waving defiance. Next day the wagon was sent to mill with a load of corn. Before it started Tangle-Eye's mistress, who had resolved to send him with it, called him to feed him the last time. He had always leaped into her lap, or on her shoulder, or stood upon his hind feet to rub his head against her knees before beginning a meal. That morning he stopped ten feet off, eyed her doubttully a minute, made a lightning dash, seized a greedy mouthful, darted out with it and ran under the house to devour it. This was repeated three times. Unen a saucer of cream was set down for him and everybody left the room. He came to lap it, but looked suspiciously over his shoulder every little while. Notwithstanding the doors were shut on him and his mistress went inside to make him prisoner. She stopped to rub his head, when he stood rigid, spit at her, caught her linger, bit it to the bone,' and as the door was opened at her cry of pain, dashed out of it, and was never again seen about the house, though for a year at least he kept up his depredations. He harbored in a wooded swamp, more than a mile away, where, like the thief and ingrate he was, he made a bad end in battle with a genuine wildcat. But to this day his mistress Is unelecided as to whether his change of conduct was due to divination or eavesdropping. So Is another woman who talked with a cat eloctor concerning her cat's health, in the presence of the cat herself. It was a very meek animal, thoroughly housetrained, and the inseparable companion of Its mistress. Though she was too wise for indiscriminate feeding, she permitted the silky maltese to sit upon a cricket beside her at meal times, and receive an occasional harmless tit-bit from her own plate. There had been some trifling ailment. After the doctor had looked the animal over, he prescribed a simple powder, tasteless and odorless, as far as human senses discern. This the cat's mistress bought and put in very small quantities imdde tiny bits of raw meat, gashed to receive it. After the medicine was in place the bits were rolled tight and covered with fresh, raw meat, scraped fine. But the cat nosed the meat pills languidly over, and would have none of them. Starving even would not make him eat them. That, however, was less strange than the fact that for a whole week he refused to eat anything whatsoever from the hand of his mistress, even things taken from her plate. It was all of six weeks, indeed, before confidence was fully restored. Cats have long memories, also a taste for something approaching histrionics. A visitor in a country house noticed one winte-r day the family cat, a very fine animal, walking about in evident distress. The weather was very cold cold enough to freeze tight all the ordinary watering places so it occurred to him that the animal might be thirsty. He called it, invited it to perch upon his shoulder, went up to his own room with the cat perched ther?, put it down on the bed. then half-filled a basin, and was rewarded by seeing the cat drink as though water famished. He left the next day, thinking no more of the matter. Six months later he was again In the house. Notwithstanding warm weather and water in plenty, the cat, at sight of him. leaped upon his shoulder, purring and maiouing, until he again took it upstairs and gave It a long drink. This performance has been repeated at each succeeding visit a dozen times in all, and always the cat shows the same delight. THIS WOULD OP NOISH. Plaint ot n Mnn Who Possesses a hiervon Temperament. Henry T. Finck, In Musical World. One thing I never could quite understand how WaKner could find here (in Venice) a place quiet enough to allow him to write such music. Venice is one of the noisiest cities in Europe, and that is the one grudge I bear it. It seems funny, too, when you first think of it, for the great noise-makers ar usually horses and wagons, and Venice has no horses and wagons not one. Dut the streets are narrow, and the natives, like all Italians, havo a habit of always speaking fortissimo at least ten times as loud as is necessary. Ignorant persons who do not know that malaria is propagated by mosquitoes, ami not by night air, and who, therefore, keep their windows closed, may be able to sleep undisturbed, though their sleep can hardly be refreshing; but if you keep your windows open, you must be prepared to be awakened at any hour of the night by the stentorian voices of men who seem co be about to engage In a battle for life, but who probably are only saying, "Good evening." or "How do you do?" to each other, after the passionate Italian fashion. However, It will hardly do for us who live in glas houses to throw stones at the Italians; for, although we do not utter the commonplaces of s?mall talk In such furious tones and bellicose accents as they do, we are. as a nation, anything but gentle and refined In our mode of speech, or consid

erate of our neighbors. In the daytime one may grin and bear it, but at night it often becomes a soro trial. Pullman sleepers afford an excellent test of "manners upon the road," and the results are anything but llattering to our national vanity. I have slept or tried to sleep at least a hundred nights In Pullman ears, and I do not remember one In which I was not awakened once or oftener by persons coming in late at this or that station, and bawling away at each other at the top of their voices. Just as If they were in their private bedrooms; utterly regardless of the two dozen persons whom they disturbed. Women, I regred to add, are usually the worst offenders, and I have often wished the porter would hand to each of them, as she enters the sleeper, a card with King Lear's tribute to Cordelia: "Her voice was ever soft. Gentle and low, an excellent thing in woman." To sensitive persons, there is, however, something even worse than the fortissimo small talk by which nine persons out of ten usually betray their lack of manners and refinement. I have known women who claimed the privilege of voting as a right, yet who had so little consideration for the rights and feelings of other people that they allowed their boys to make a perpetuai nuisance of themselves by their shrill loud whistling without ever a word of protest. But It 1 not only the boys who . whistle; grown men are constantly whistling all about me, and nearly every day I have to go from, one car on the elevated railway into another because &me fellow Is entertaining himself at the expense of all the other passengers. America, has been called a country of whistlers, and nothing worse has even been said by our bitt-reit enemies. Europeans do no: whistle. Boys may, but well-dressed adults do not, and, as a rule, It is only cobblers' boys and street Arabs who indulge in this vice. During my recent trip to Europe, which covered parts of ten countries, I always said to my wife when we heard anyone whistling: "There's an American," and nearly always I found I was right. There are doubtless a number of persons who cannot understand why whistling should be considered offensive and vulgar. It is offensive and vulgar for the same reason that the use of musk ami other villanlous "perfumes" is considered offensive and vulxar. When I was a boy, in the days when Dickens painted American manners in such an unpleasant color, no objection was made to the use of these vile and obtrusive smells. But w? have progressed in refinement, and to-day it is considered very bad manners to use "loud" perfumes in public. The time will come when loud whistling from which it is as impossible to escape as from the odor of musk will also be frowned on. It is in the hope of accelerating the advent of that time that I am writing this jeremiad. What aggravates the offense is that in the vast majority of cases the whistlers do not even give us a tune, but Just maunder along in a. chaotic, idiotic succession of tones. I suppose this sort of Inane noise gives one a good Idea of what goes on in the brains of persons who never think. To musically refined persons it is a torture that might have hcen used during the Inquisition. Paderewskl. though passionately fond of billiards, used to leave the hall in the Windsor Hotel in the middle of a game if any one began to whistle. He once remarked that a man ought to be allowed to shoot at eight any one who whistled in public. He was not Joking, either. At least, 1 hope he wasn't. KATE GREENAWAY. She Set Ilcfore the Public Most Delightful Children. New York Tost. In the death of Kate Greenaway those who were children a score of years ago have lost a friend, and the illustrators art has lost one who in a modest way marked an era and set in motion a tendency. How legitimately Miss Greenaway's way of seeJng and rendering the charm of childhood came through Thomas Stothard from Sir Joshua, few of her critics have seemed to realize. There was, in fact, a frankness and directness in her art that somehow made criticism seem superfluous. And yet Kate Greenaway has her assured place in the history of art. Without that sensitive interpretation of child life, in which Caldecott was her only rival, we should hardly have had the children's book-s of Boutet de Monvel at least in their actual form. Miss Greenaway, whether from her study of Blake's children's books or otherwise, had arrived at the compromise between illustrative effectiveness and decorative effect, for which the pre-Itaphaclites in more ambitious work had fumbled rather vainly. Her popularity, too, which reached to the creation rf a style of dress patterned on her illustrations, was one of the rare cases where a great vogue is based on a real sympathy with the b st that is In an artist. But such considerations are secondary to that ejuickened sense of an old charm which the news of her death brings. It needed a poet of Mr. Dobson's sensitiveness to render her quality in words. lie writes: HOUSEHOLD ART. "Mine be a cot." for the hours of play. Of the kind that is built by Miss Greenaway; Where the walls are low and the roofs are red, And the birds are pay In the blue o'frhead; And the dear -little figures, in frocks and frills. Go roaming about at thHr own Fweet wills, And "play with the pups." and "reprove the calves," And do naught In the world (but Work) by halves. From "Hunt the Slipper" and "Riddle-me-ree" To watching the cat in the apple tree. O Art of the Household! Men may prate Of their ways "Intense" and ItaManate. They may soar on their wings of sense, and float To the au dela and the dim remoteTin the last sun sink in the last-lit West 'Tla the Art at the Door that will please the best; To the end of Time 'twill be still the same.

There are four varieties white head and body, with feathers and tail black; white all over, with yellow legs; red neck and body feathers; reddish color mixed with white of body. All of these except the second variety have black tail feathers. As great a length as eighteen feet has been reached. From seven to eleven feet, however, is the usual length. The tail grows about four inches a month, and continues to grow while the bird lives, which is eight to ten years. When older the tall grows about seven inches a month. The hens lay in the spring nnd autumn, one bird producing thirty eggs yearly, which are hatched by other hen. Tho tails of the roosters are cut to allow of their walking freely, and their lives nro a little longer than that of the hen. Tho latter must be housed up, but they stand both heat and cold well. The tall feathers are not kept wound up, but are always allowed to hang free. When they touch the ground in the cage a bamboo is put a little way back, so as to form an arch. Vhe birds sit all day on a flat perch three inches wide, and are only taken out once In two days, and allowed to walk for half an hour or so. a man holding up their tails to prevent them from getting torn or soiled. Twice a month they are washed in hot water and fed on unhulled rice and preens. They like plenty of water and arc wonderfully tame. Memories of Pnlrny Days. Washington Star.
