A BIT OF HISTORY. MICHAEL ANGELO. 'Flic Removal of the Obellxk From Ilgypt by the Americunx. “Nothing ever told to illustrate the friendship of Russians for Americans will strike a more responsive chord In this country than the story of the ac- tlou of a Russian admival at Alexan dria, in Egypt, when Lieutenant Com mander Gorriuge, U. S. N., was about to ship the obelisk (now in Central park, New York city) to the United States,” said an old diplomatic official. “The English and French in Egypt didn’t want the western world to have uu obelisk, and court intrigue soon persuaded the khedive to rescind his gift. Gorriuge had only a few men with hill), but he met the vacillation of the khedive by erecting a stockade around tiie monolith and raising high above it the stars and stripes. “Mobs of Egyptians, incited by eu- vious French or English, continued to harass the handful of Americans. As the time for. lowering the obelisk drew near their patriotic feeling reach ed a climax, and Gorriuge began to fear some sort of violence which might damage the stone and prevent its ship ment. As we all know, it was placed on trunnions like a cannon, turned over on its side and lowered to the ground, after which It was rolled on cannon halls to the water’s edge and shoved into the hold of the Densons, the bow plates of which had been re moved as slio lay in dry dock. > “In the harbor was a Russian squad ron. The admiral a few days before the time set for lowering the obelisk sent Commander Gorriuge a polite note saying he was much interested in his novel engineering feat and would be pleased if he could be permitted to • witness it. Gorriuge returned a cour teous invitation to the admiral and his staff ami thought nothing more about it. He was concerned rather about what the excited Egyptian mob might do when it came face to face with the prospect of losing its historical treas ure. “At daybreak on the appointed day boats containing 400 Russians put off from the squadron of the white czar and formed a hollow square about the obelisk. Within were the Americans and the admiral. Outside surged the Egyptian mob, held back by the brls- ' tling Russian bayonets. When the obelisk was ready a corner of the square opened and the huge stone start ed seaward on its journey to the Unit ed States. -Next day the Russian ad miral sent another polite note to Com mander Gorringe thanking him for his courtesy la permitting him to view the lowering of the obelisk, which, he said, he had very much enjoyed.”—New York Press.# The last of the May haws has gone and the housekeepers are seeing oth er fields of endeavor. Tb».» IlnmUJe Stp.rt In Life of the Fa muli* Maxtor. Two bays wore herding swine In Italy. They were evidently discussing some very important subject, for they were earnest at it. A man approach es I. and the boys separated, each for his own side of the pasture. The man was angry and was shhklng his hand at them. The boys said nothing: they drove their swine in and were quiet as aMuouso about It. The man had said they should stay o.ut until dark, and the* sun had not even set yet. After they had driven the swine to their re spective places each crept to ids room, took his clothes and tied them hi a bundle. This done, they botli crept down and ran to the road which led to Rome. One’s name was Peter; the other Michael Angelo. Both were poor boys. They tramped and tramped, and the first tiling they did when they readied Rome was to go to church. After they had rested and prayed tljiey looked for employment, rotor received employment,as the cook’s boy In some cardinal’s house, but Michael could find nothing to do, so he almost de spaired.

Peter content to let his friend do this and Michael content also. Michael when in church Imd seen some fine pictures. •'One which fasci nated him was “Christ Ascending to Heaven.” Taking hits of clnjrcoal. he went to Peter’s room and drew pic tures on the white walls. One <L.y the cardinal bad occasion to go to the room. Michael had meanwhile secured employment in the cardinal’s kitchen. The cardinal, upon seeing all the pic tures/ was dumfounded with their accurateness.' He called Peter and Michael upstairs and asked who had drawn them. Michael confessed he had, but said he thought he could rub them out again. The cardinal explain ed to him that it was all right so far as the wall was concerned. He took Michael and sent him to a drawing master and gave Peter a bettor posi tion.

Sold by Albany Drug Co., Hilsman-Sale Drug Co, Aunt Margaret Oliver Does to Her Reward After Long Life of Useful ness. Answering the screams of her little 3-year-old daughter, Mrs. W. E. Woot en ran into the room occupied by the child and her nurse, Margaret Oliver, about 5 o’clock this morning, to find the faithful old servant cold in death. The little girl, whose rearing had been entrusted to Aunt Margaret, woke up early this morning. She attempted to awaken her nurse, but was unable to do so. She began to cry, but the faithful old soul, always so quick to answer the slightest whimper of her charge, was not to he aroused from that sleep which had come to end a good, true life. The Wooten child and h6r nurse oc cupied a room ■ on the second floor. They went upstairs about^ the usual hour last night and retired. Aunt Margaret was not complaining, but it had been known for some time that her heart was diseased- and it was feared that the end might come soon and suddenly. It is probable that she lay down last night and went peace fully to sleep, a sleep from which Death took her gently. It seems fit ting that so easy a death should have closed such a life of gentleness. Aunt Marghret was 69 years- old. Before the war she belonged to the Hiisman family, and was trained by Dr. Hiisman, father of Dr. P. L. Hiis- iilan, for a nurse. Having a natural aptitude for this profession, she soon became exceptionally , proficient, and for thirty years she had followed her calling in Albany. There never was a better nurse than she, or one more gentle and attentive. Aunt Margaret was a good Chris tian woman, and her life was a con sistent one. She numbered her friend*; by the hundreds, and, even though she was a negro, of her it might be said: “None knew her but to love her, None named her but in praise.” Funeral Tomorrow. The funeral will take place tomor- church onforc4BuOal row afternoon from the A. M. E. church, on Washington street,* tomor row afternoon at 3 o'clock.

Shortly after the United States bad declared wag against Spain and while the preparations for sending the army to Cuba were in active prog ress a stranger in Washington observ ed a number of distinguished senators gathering around a little gray bearded man whom they had encountered at the steps of the capitol and shaking his hand with enthusiasm. “Who’s that little old chap they’re making so much fuss over?” he said, addressing an elderly, stoop shouldered man who was standing near him and looking at the group with, kindling eyes. “Little!” exclaimed the other. “That’s Fighting Joe Wheeler. If ever you’d been in a big battle and seen him coin ing toward you at the head of. a gal loping army of wild men, as I have, you’d know better than to call him lit tle!

This is the “tion-tion” (pronounced tee-yawn tee-yawu) on account of its cry. This bird,, Is valued by .the natives for Its brilliant plumage, especially the tall feathers, which they wear in their headdress and make clothing of, blit the diost interesting characteristic of this strange bird is Its imitative fac ulty. - A naturalist beenrae acquainted with the bird’s powers in a curious man ner. He was awakened from Ills sleep one night by hearing cries of distress in French. Some one was being mur dered not far away, so much was ab solutely certain. There were cries for mercy aud help, uttered In excellent Frerfch,. shrieks of agony and groans. Jumping to his feet he awoke ills In dian guides, saying.that they must nil go to the assistance of the victim. At that moment the yolce uttered a shout pf ironical laughter, followed by “tlon- tlon.” and the guide's thrned over, with a gruut of vexation. The learned natu^ ralist had a great deal to learn, they remarked sarcastically. The tion-tion is the worst of chatter boxes. It can, and does, imitate every sound itliears, with the utmost fidelity. It can speak all languages, giving the proper accent and intonation. Tills is a strong statement, but it is correct. It will shout.for assistance in the best English or German, and 3*011 will really believe that some fellow countryman is in dire distress until the bird inter rupts its own pleadings with a ddrislve laugh.
