English UvlDgs.
There are about 14,000 livings In Eng
land and Wales. Of these nearly 7,600
are In tbe gift of tbe crown, Prince of
Wales, lord chancellor, bishops, chap
ters, archdeacons, universities, rectors
ind vicars (as sncb) and trustees. About
3,000 others are in the patronage (as to
1,400) of peers and (as to the rest) of oth
er titled persons. Although now and
again a nobleman's livings are sold, and
even distinguished colleges have been
caught tripping In the matter of slmonr.
it is among the remaining 4,500 livings
that almost ail the trafllo exists. Statis
tics fail ns here.
No doubt the majority of these 4,500
livings never come into tbe market, and
belong to patrons who recognize their
responsibility. What fraction of them
have been acquired as to patronage or
jicumbency by means more or less taint
d It is impossible to say. The "clergy
list" for 1802, however, shows that there
ire 503 livings where the incumbent and
the patron are the same person and 434
where both are of the same name. A
considerable proportion of the parson
patrons nave, it can hardly be doubted,
become patrons in order to present them
selves. On the other band, some of the
S93 and a large number of the 424 repre
sent "family livings." As to these, it
would be Inaccurate to say that the liv
ing has been bought for the sake of the
parson, but in many cases the parson
has been ordained for the sake of the
living. Contemporary Review.
Birds and Their Nests.
Borne birds will forsake their nests if
so much as a finger is placed within, but
others, suspicious that their secret has
been discovered, Beek to hide them more
sfflcacioujly by admirably ingenlons
plans. Among the thick fern growth of
a bank n wood warbler had woven a
aest. Tbe bird had evidently selected
this bank because of the quantity of
dead leaves scattered and heaped there
on, the tawny crispness of these corre
sponding nicely with the domed edifice,
thereby rendering discovery almost Im
possible. But the fine quality of tbe
ferns led to its detection. Tugging at
the frail Ironds, a kindly disposed lady
scared tbe sitting warbler, which flew
with plaintive call to an adjacent bough,
and there exhibited signs of dish ess.
I he lover or nature could not resist a
peep at tbe cozy home, which at a
glance appeared like a shapeless mass ot
dead leaves and grasses. Some few
days after, walking through the same
wood, sue was again attempted to pay
tbe little wood bird a visit, Puzzled
and surprised, she could not find its
whereabouts, but a few minutes' search
revealed nn alteration from the original
mode. Tbe cunning bird bad blocked
up tbe old entrance and covered that
side of the nest with dead leaves, break
ing a doorway through on the opposite
side. London Tit-Bits.
A Tortler Mada of Shells.
A lady who spends her summers at the
seaside has collected about a bushel,
more or less, of small, almost flat, thin,
yellow shells, which abound at so many
points on tne coast. Wltn these she this
year fashioned a portiere that Is novel
and pretty beyond description. Each
shell is pierced with a hot wire and then
strung on a delicate wire so that the
narrow end of one is next to the wide
end of the other, A number of strings
were made in this wsy long enough to
reach from the floor to the ourtain pole,
wnere tney were securely fastened to a
strip ot plantation cloth of tbe same
shade as ths shells. Through the tret-
work above this curtain is draped a
length ot sea green India silk, falling half
way to ths floor on the right side.
A lees ambitious woman has made a
curious scarf by sewing these shells In
artistic confusion on either end of a
length of nile green silk, tmttlnz here
and there bits of golden green seaweed.
A. fringe is made for each end by string
ing shells on green embroidery silk In
stead of wire. New York Letter.

ITS 6INGULAR SEQUEL.
An Adventure With Ille'liwaymen Who
Unloaded a Miner of Ills Oold and silver
and Where Everybody to the Triangular
Transaction Was Satlsfled
We hod finished our game of whist on
the train when one of the players, a red
headed man, saldt "Your speaking of
narrow escapes reminds me of one I hod
years ago in the Sierras, Buckeye
House," he continued, "is apubllo tav
ern, amid the mountains ot southern
Plumas county and is a lonely spot,
being surrounded b dense forests of
spruce and pine. On the night of June
4, ifff1-, I stopped there and was told by
the proprietor that a highway robbery
had been committed in the vicinity dur
ing the preceding day. Tills made me
exceedingly uneasy, for I was carrying
112,500 In greenbacks Into the mountains
to invest in n quartz mine. The money
was wrapped up in my horse blankets
and stowed away nndcr the seat of the
huggy, while I bad about $100 In gold
and silver in my pockets.
"Shortly after leaving Buckeye the
road ascends a deep declivity and then
crosses a narrow, rocky, brush covered
plateau, Three miles farther on I passed
Palmetto ranch, an abandoned stopping
place, whore I again entered the dense
forest that grew close to the highway,
I examined my revolver carefully, placed
fresh caps on it and laid it on the seat
beside me ready for instant use, Noth
ing occurred until I reached French
man's hill, when as I was climbing one
of the steepest parts I was suddenly
stopped so suddenly, in fact, that I bad
no chance to defend myself, A man
sprang into the road and caught my
horses by the bridles, while a second
robber appeared from behind a tree,
holding in his bands a shotgun at fall
cock. The man with the gun was a tall
fellow .with a squint eye and a red
mustache, while the other man was short
and stout,
" 'Throw tip your hands!' cried the
squint eyed man in a harsh voice. I
glanced at the muzzle of the gun and
then at the revolver on my seat. 'Up
with your hands, or III give it to youl'
and the look on the robber's face indi
cated that he meant what he said, so I
reluctantly gave up all my ideas of de
fense and slowly and mechanically raised
my hands above my bead, at the same
time cursing my 111 luck, for robbery at
that time meant ruin to me. 'Git out
and keep your hands up,' cried tho tall
man, 'till Jim takes yer money andyer
popgun.' I got out and walked to the
head of the horses as commanded and
the short robber deftly examined my
pockets and took what gold and silver I
cad, saying as he rattled the coins, 'It
pays to drive hogs.'
" 'Hogsr I exclaimed. 'Wbat do you
mean by hogs?
" 'Oh, that's all right. He told us you
were coming, and we laid in the brnsh
for yon,' was the response.
"I glanced up at that second and saw
a murderous look on the squint eyed
man's face, while his finger was on the
trigger of tho gun. As I was standing
close to the small robber, tbe weapon,
of course, covered us both. I gave an
involuntary start, which caused the short
man to look up. His face blanched white
as he exclaimed, 'Take care there or you
will shoot ns both,' at the same time
stepping back so as to bring my horse
between himself and hlscompanion's gun,
"I Involuntarily followed his example.
when the short man said in a low tone.
'I believe that rascal meant to kill us
both. Now,' be continued in a loud
voice, at the same time taking my pistol
from the seat, 'you pile right in and bo off.'
"I had supposed, of course, that they
would search my buggy, and now that I
was about to escape with my precious
greenbacks my heart beat furiously and
tbe blood rushed to my face as though I
had just undergone great exertion.
hastily obeyed the injunctions of tho
robbers to 'drive on and keep a-golng.'
and as soon as I was ont of gunshot I
whipped up and drove at full speed until
I overtook a little old man, shabbily
dressed, driving a lot of fat bogs with
tbe aid of a small dog.
"The old man looked at me with some
astonishment as I drove rapidly up and
cried, 'Say, did some tellers stop yer back

ROMANCE OF A NEWSBOY.
Incidents la the Career of Ex-Goveraor
Waller of Connecticut.
Who does not know cental Tom Wal
ler of Connecticut? Tom was for years
the leading lawyer of Hartford, twice
member of the assembly in the Connec
ticut legislature, once senator and twice
governor of the Nutmeg State. Be failed
the third time because he Immolated
himself on the political altar to save
Cleveland. The president rewarded his
self abnegation by making him consul
general at London, the richest office in
the administration.
Tom Walter 40 years ago was a news
boy on the ferryboats which plied
between Brooklyn and New York. There
was no big bridge in those days, and tbe
boys hovered ground the ferryboats,
which carried nil of the human freight
of tho two great cities at that time. The
lad's real name was Thomas Waller
O'Grady, and he descended from a fam
ily renowned in Irish history.
Une ancestor is the famous Baron-
feather O'Grady, Ireland's greatest jurist
and the compeer of Orattan, Curran,
Phillips ana other renowned Irish bar
risters, His granduncle was Thomas
8tandish Walter O'Grady, the bitterest
Tory and hardest landlord in the good
old bailiwick of Limerick.
Thomas Waller O'Grady'a parents
died while he was almost a child In arms.
He was adopted by an old Dutch family
In New York, but the restrictions im
posed upon the future statesman were
so irksome that he ran away nnd became
a newsboy. Many is the time in bis
precarious calling in those days that
young Tom was compelled to sleep iaa
dry goods box at night after nn unsatis
factory day's labor. Tom had dropped
the family name and was known by his
youthful associates as Tom Waller.
One day while crossing the Fulton ferry
irom urooKiyn to .new xorlc be met a
fussy old gentleman who wished a copy
of tho Hartford Courant. It was the
favorite paper of his native town, and
as he thought away ahead of all metro
politan journals. Of course New York
newsboys did not sell country papers.
and Tom told bim so.
"However," said the cnte little fellow
In n reassuring way, "I think I can get
it for yon." By good luck Tom had seen
an old lady in the saloon reading that
very paper, which he recognlied by the
ancient type in Its headline, and he forth
with came up to tbe dame and offered to
exchange a copy of a New York paper
for tbe mediawal country sheet. Tbe
lady was a Now nglander and ready
tor a bargain. Bbe nad read The Cou
rant and had no f nrther use for it. She
thought she had made a clever deal when
she exchanged the country morning pa
per lor a bright metropolitan evening
journal. Tom knew he had. When he
presented The Courant to the fussy old
gentleman, that dignitary gave him (1
for bis pains. Then he inquired bis name.
"Tom Waller," promptly responded
the newsboy. Tbe old gentleman stood
aghast. It was his own name. He took
down the lad's address, looked np his ref
erences and in a fortnight adopted him.
He had no children, and Tom was bis
idol. He gave bim a sound preliminary
education and then sent bim to Yale col
lege. There Tom graduated with bigh
honors. His subsequent history is too
familiar to the publio to require repeti
tion. Boston Herald,
Trtcoupls and Ills Dog,
M. Tricoupls, who may bo regarded as
the foremost statesmen in King George's
dominions, and who has repeatedly held
the office ot premier, is distinguished
for tho store set by him on canine friend
ship. One day when be was crossing
from the Plrtcus to Constantinople on
board an English steamer, bis dog fell
overboard, Tricoupls, who was not In
office at the time and a stranger to the
captain, entreated the latter to stop the
vessel in order that he might rescue tbe
hound.
"Impossible!" replied the Englishman.
"Sly orders are very strict. I dare not
stop, even were It a man instead of a
dog drowning."
"GoodP laconically answered the
Greek, and at the same time he sprang
over the ship's side and swam toward
bis dog, although sharks abound in those
waters. The sequel may be guessed.
Tbe English captain could not resist
such a spectacle of pluck, and in spite
of his strict orders to the contrary b
stopped the ship and savod both man
and dog. New York Tribune.

For example, tho meat of tbe English
walnut is a close copy of the form and

cherries are like the eye; almonds are
shaped like tbe nose; tbe ear is brought

ORPHANS IN AUSTRIA
THE 8TIQMA OF PAUPEHISM NEVER
CROWN8 ITS HELPLESS TOTS.
It Is tha Only Country to th. World Wher.
foundlings Ara Debarred From tha
Workhouse Their Care Intrusted to the
Refined and Wealthy.
There is only one country in the world
where orihtin children and foundlings
are debarred from admission to the work
house. It is In Austria, which maintains
that to place the stigma of pauperism
npon the poor llttlo things is to handi
cap them later on In the race for life and
bread, and thus to lessen their chance or
ever bccomlm; self supporting and self
respecting cltlsens. That their reason
ing Is just is shown by the results.
Whereas In Paris, London and Berlin
tho majorify of children born In work
houses return yeurs afterward to die
there. In Vienna it is a most unusual
occurrence for a foundling or an orphan
dependent upon publio charity to be
como In old ago a charge upon tho com
munity.
In Austrian cities children of this class
are boarded out in (he families of work
men living in the suburbs at the expens
of the municipality. But their care Is
Intrusted, not to the workhouse authori
ties, but to gentlemen and ladles of
leisure, fortune and respectability, who
practically become the guardians of tbe
little ones.
Their charge Is a purely honorary one.
and they are chosen as a rule by the
burgomaster of the city or town from
among the nobility, the retired magis
trates, the half ray otLcera, the rich
childless widows and wealthy old maids.
They bear the title of orphan fathers
and orphan mothers, and so honorable
Is tho position regarded by the popula
tion that the mayor never experiences
any dlHlculty in securing the servtoos or
a suiucient number of such omolal par
ents. During the early youth of their wards
the duties of these orphan parents are
conhned to visiting them at unexpected
times and to keeping the people with
whom they board up to the mark by
showing thein that the children have
powerful protectors. Upon the official
parent devolves the responsibility of de
ciding the special calling in life for
which tbe youngsters show the most apt
itude, tho only stipulation made by the
municipal authorities being that the boys
shonld bo tahght Bome skilled labor or
profession calculated to give them later
on a chance of being able to support a
wife and family and to lay by provision
for old age. When these lads go out into
the world, it is to their ollicial parents
that they turn for a character, and if
evil days come to them they appeal to
their official protectors for help.
It Is an Incalculable benefit for a boy
who is lust starting ont in life to have a
man of position to stand by him and to
speak to tbe world in his favor, nor is
there anything In connection between
the two to ruffle the Independence of the
younger, for when once launched in life
the elder stands to him Blmply in the re
lation of an old and tried friend, whose
advice be may follow or not as he pleases.
With regard to the orphan or found
ling girls, they ore mostly trained for
domestic- service, which, however, they
are not permitted to enter before the
age of 14, and then it becomes the or
phan mother's duty to investigate the
character of the persons who propose to
employ her, to see that she is well treat
ed and eventually, when she marries, to
find out about tbe man's reputation and
as to whether ha has the means of keep
ing a wife.
Usually it is from her own house that
the marriage takes place, and at every
turn the girl is made to feel the advan
tage of having a lady of rank to whom
she can always appeal, who is bound to
protect her, to defend her when wrong
fully accused and to guard her as far as
possible from evil.
Thanks to these orphan parents, heredi
tary pauperism In Austria has been
practically stamped out, and there- Is
much in the system that may commend
itself to people -on this side of tho Atlan
tic. Tho condition ot the pauper orphans
and ot the foundlings now dependent
upon the publio charity of this great
metropolis would certainly be vastly im
proved and the future prospects of the lit
tle unfortunates rendered more promis
ing were our leading citizens and their
wives to follow the example of tbe people
in similar standing in Austria, and to add
a new and useful interest to their lives
by assuming the honorary and honorable
office or orphan parents. New lork

A Stilt Itaee In France.
A French scientific journal gives par
ticulars of a Btilt race (courso d'echas
slers) at Bordeaux, in which Alma Mar
tin, a verms man under 20, beat the rec
ord by covering 440 kilometers (about
273 miles) in 70 hours and 83 minutes.
His stilts were about 0 feet long and
weighed over 10 pounds. Ills bare feet
were not injured by the friction, and he
suffered no inconvenience. Another raoe
of Dortanlerea that is, women who car
ry burdens on their heads was won by
JIargaret Pujol, 80 years of age. Her
burden consisted of a basket laden with
43 pounds, and the course was 0 kilome

Professor Herrmann has succeeded In
