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.

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 ..ops everything tea gray .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.— New York Ledger. Not Much of a Belief.

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.

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.”— Washington Star. ‘ 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.

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.
