Th* Craa* and th* Bparrow.
Court square has a spindle legged crane
which stalks in solemn dignity to and fro.
This crane catches sparrows, and the ef
forts he makes to swallow his prey cause
spectators to gather by the score. The
crane stands quietly like a statue and
waits. The sparrows fly about fearlessly,
not even startled by the strange bird.
They have seen rags on a stick before and
they are not afraid. Oh, no I Then one
of the sparrows lights very near the crane.
The rag becomes lively and his beak is
shot out with lightning quickness and the
sparrow caught right by the neck.
Then comes the fun. The sparrow is a
little large to swallow. The crane kills
him, thinking the small bird’s lively ca
pers must be the cause of tbe difficulty.
Death makes the task no easier. The spar
row still chokes the crane. The crane tries
the sparrow bead on. The small bird’s
wings stick out and prevent the sparrow
from going down. Tbe crane starts at
the feet, but the feathers on the prospec
tive dinner axe ruffled the wrong way and
the second attempt fails. An idea strikes
his crsßieship. He walks to a small tab
of water and soaks the sparrow so that
the feathers cling closely. Il is still an
impossible task to swallow the bird. Th*
' crane works and works, and finally, by
pounding the sparrow almost toa pulp, at
last makes a meal Then the audience
disperses wondering at the crane’s marvel
tons digestion.—Memphis Scimitar.

“ciTY OF BIRMINGHAM.
Ths Popular Steamship is Practically
a New One
Tbs old reliable steamship City of
Birmingham came into port to lay
after an absence of 25 days in New
York, where she underwent her usual
annual overhauling. Her engines and
boilers were thoroughly gone over and
her speed increased. New shafts, new
spars, and new mast* were added to
the steamship, while the saloons, cab
ins, and interior of the vessel gave
evidence of the decorator's and paint
er’s tastes. The interior of tbe Birm
ingham also received some attention,
but tbe main work done was in the
engine department, and this waa car
ried out perfectly.
Tbe Birmingham went into com*
mission ten years ago on Aug. 20 next,
and during all that time Captain
Burg, its commander, never missed a
trip. In no instance has tbe ship ever
est Savannah or New York without
him, and there is not an officer on
board who has not served with him
daring that entire period. He took
occasion during the time repairs were
>eing made on the Birmingham to
take a vacation at Long Branch, and
the trip has evidently doue him some
good.
The City of Birthingbsm is now one
of the very best ships of tbe Ocean
Steamsbjp company and she has one
of the most able and popular captains,
j Sxtra good work and epeek can here
after be expected of the steamship,
which excited much commendation
and praise since she returned after
ler rehabilitation.
Tbe Birmingham is one of tbe beat
mown steamships that ply between
southern ports and New York. She 1
las a record as a life-saver Lha& few
vessels enjoy, and tbe traveling public
baa always the gw.lest confidence in
the comfortable sailing, o.f the ship
and the skill and kepFladgq o? her
commander.
Captain Barg takes pride in the
City of Birmingharn and says that
her rehabilitation, will make her one
of the best, speediest, and safest boats
on the line. She was much admired
today by people who were attracted
by her reappearance at the wharf after
her long absence and compliments
were paid her and her popular com
mander. —Savannah Press.
It Is a curious fuck all of
that°ii^ b,r smoky, smelly powder

.ee the view and confuses the gun-
Only one of
wring cordite, the wonderful smokeless
powder which the English navy has
adopted. The results with this ship, the
New Orleans, were truly
rapidity, accuracy and precision or ner
fire were the admiration of all observers.
Smokeless powder has several advan
tages. There is no obscuring of the
view, the explosion producing the merest
haze, which lasts bat an instant It
leaves but little residuum in the gun,
bn* much more power and is every way
more desirable. Higher muzzle velocity
is obtained with a projectile, as the
powder burns much more slowly than
the ordinary sort, and, therefore, gen
erates more gas as the ball travels up to
the mouth of the gun. The demand for
smokeless powder seems to be one of the
Imperatives of the immediate future.—

A TALE WITH A MORAU/. I
“When I was M years old, ” said a vet
eran of many dollars, “I was working on
• farm In Maasaohueetts not far from
Springfield, where lived a pretty little girl
as poor a* I waa, the daughter of a Meth
odist minister. One day under the ahade
of a big tree tn the churchyard I told her
how much thsr* w.is in my heart and how
little there was in roy pocket and asked
her to many me. She was 17 and silly,
and she consented on the spot. For an
hour or mot* after that we sat under the
tree talking over the fair and foolish
things that lovers dream, when it occurred
to me that an engagement ring was the
correct thing for such an occasion, and I
began bemoaning the poverty which pre
vented my getting one for the dearest hand
on earth. It was absolutely true, too, for I
I really did not have enough money to
buy a Un ring, much less the only kind I
thought Janie ought to have.
“But Janie didn't oars for the ring. She
■aid we ought to thank Providence that
we had each other and let the old ring go.
She waa on the point of saying more, when
she stopped suddenly, gave a llttl* scream
and pointed to something bright in her
lap. I looked, and there lay a pretty gold ■
ring with a small diamond flashing a
greeting to us. At first we were afraid to
touch it, but we soon got over that, and
l as we looked it over we wondered where
it had come from, and though we kne-g
that the days of miracles had passed '«*
were both inclined to think it waa a
Ing from heaven on our sweet and pure
love.
"There was no one In the tree to have
dropped it as a joke, but as it rgmld not
have reached us by any way than
from above we proceeded to search the
tree. Nothing oould be Mgn from the
ground, and I climbed up, ysmd there over
In the fork above us, up, I found a
bird's nest building to<Z knew that the
builders had picked tAeJring up some
where, fcr various bit*, off colored ribbon
and rags fluttered abcatithe nest. One of
these piece* of silk Jastovreoognlzedwi the
trimming of a lady's gown who came to
see her mother, and; vfe decided at onoe
that it was right tosee If it belonged to
the lady.
“ Thither ww wen% fe»PPy » two chil
dren, Janie went imand I waited out
side. Presently she called me in, and
When I had, with many blushes, told tbe
story of the ring on Janie’s finger she
> kissed her, and said it was now mine to do
With as I pleased. She hoped I would not
forget those who had been my friends
when I had no diamonds, and then right
there before the lady I had never seen be
fore I slipped the ring on Janie’s finger
’and; kissed hoa As soon' as 1 had done
that the lady kissed Janie, and I'll be shot
If she didn’t kiss me, too, and as we went
out there were tears in her eyes glistening
like the diamond on Janie’s finger.”—

The Übiquitous German,
All that education in its various-forms
—primary, technical and even physknd—
can do for the German workman ia being'
done for him. Weak Industries receive :
bounties. Lines of steamers are heavily
subsidized to carry German experts to all
parts of the warlA The state railways are
authorized to make special rates for the
oversea trade. German diplomatic agents
abroad exerdse pressure in favor of Ger
man merchants. German commercial
houses are planted in every Important for
eign port, and even whore they represent
foreign firms they keep a benevolent eye
upon the produce of their own country.
In the conduct of private undertakings
money la not grudged either for practical
experiment of for research. Manufactur
ers submit to sacrifices in order to force an
entry Into foreign markets and recoup
themselves with the aid of protective du
ties at home. The whole commercial pol
icy of the country is directed toward the
encouragement and extension of foreign
trade.
Such assistance and encouragement,
given to a population as laborious and
well endowed as the German people, have
produced the results which we are begin
ning to see. Germans are übiquitous.
They have gained a footing in almost ev
ery market. —Nineteenth Century.
Husbands In Bracket*.
All tbe bluestocking sisterhood—the
elderly females addicted to bloomers and
the spectacled, strong minded advocates of
woman’s rights—are performing a mental
jig. Hyphenated husbands have become
a byword, but it remained for the Ken
tucky Federation of Women’s Clubs to dis
cover that man’s proper position is in a
bracket Hereafter we shall hear not of
Mrs. Mary SulUvan-O’Brien, but of Mrs.
Mary gSullivan, with an inconsequent
“o’Bnen” added at the tail end of the
name in small letters and in brackets.
The woman who had the honor of sug
gesting the bracket as a sort of scrap bas
ket in which to throw the inconvenient
appendage of a husband’s name is Mrs.
James Leech of Louisville, Ky. Accord
ing to her own convictions, Mrs. Leech’s
name should be recorded Mrs, Maria Smith
—[Leech].
The resolution read as follows:
“That it shall hereafter be the custom to
enroll all women under their own full
names, and in cases of married women
with their husband’s names in brackets. ’’
