Th Ideal SchoolhonM.
To begin with, says Mrs. Whitman in
The Atlantic, the entrances of a school
boo se should bo in ado as inviting as
those of a homo. If there be a yard, no
mutter how small, it should huvo, first
of all, evergreen trees in it or some bit
of Jenfuge which, winter and Hummer,
would bring a uiossngo from tlie woods.
It should have flowers in their Reason,
and vines should be planted wherever
possible. Within the school every color
shoald be agrecablo and harmonious
with ull tho rest. Ceiling, floor, wood
work, walls, nre so to bo treuted as to
make a rational and beautiful whole.
In cutranco halls, for example, where no
studying is done, a fine, pleasing red or
cheerful yellow is an excellent choice
In bright, sunny rooms a dnll green is
at onoe tlie most agrecablo color to the
eye and perfect as a background for such
objects us casts or photographs.
In a room where, there is no sunlight
a soft yellow will be fonndof ndiniruble
nso. The ceilings should be uniformly
of an ivory white tint, which will bj
reflection conserve light and will be re
fined and in key with nil other colors.
The treatment cf wood is a study in it
self. Briefly und for practical use, wood
can bo treated in two legitimate wuys
either it cuu be painted with rclution to
the wull colors, or it can be stained to
anticipate the results of time upon wood
surfaces.
A Vnliu Defrnao.
In a case soinu yearn ago where sur
viving relatives claimed $3,000 for the
loss of a man's life occasioned by the
rumiway horse of the defendant the fol
lowing defenses were put in: First The
horse was a kind horse, und would not
have run away hud he not been fright
ened, so the par ty who frightened the
horse was to blume. Second Even after
the horse started some person diverted
the horse from his course, without which
the defendant would not have been
knocked down, so the party who thus
diverted the horse was to blame.
Third The defendant had plenty of
time to get out of the way find was
himself to blamo. Fourth The de
fendant was a pauper, not earuing any
money, so his death was not a pecuuiary
loss, hut rather a benetit to his family.
In this case the jury gavj the widow
verdict of $300. This result wai ob
tained by putting down the amount each
Juror was willing to give and dividing it

FIGH"r FOR A BIRDHOUSE.
I"tjiMtrhM Driven tint by Illiirlilrdn.
Wrrn the Final Vlrlnra,
"One spring," said n lover of birds,
"there camp to n birilhou in my gar
den n pnir of great errsti d flycnteliers.
t hnd 11 dinipii hirdhonws scattered
around. This particular one wns ubont
A foot square, with n peaked roof nml a
rhimney at each end, n doorway for the
birds to go in and nut anil n couple of
nngt r holes boreil llnt.ugli tlin bnck to
ive tlie house li-ht and air.
"This birdhousp, the summer beforn,
had been occupied by a pair of blue
birds, who had left their nest behind
them. This nest the great crested fly
rntchers pullid npnrt nntl threw out of
the house, every twig and straw. They
leaned tl'e lit uf-e out coirl'ttely nntl
then tin y Vir.t.ght in evirilhing new
nml built n le t i f their own and set
tled down comfortably for I ho summer.
"Hut in n few days a pair of blue
birds ciime along, nnd they made for
this reuse. It mitht have been the
snnie identical pair i f b'tielinhi that cc
t ui ied it the si:nin: r 1 1 fore. I don't
know 1 lout that. thi.n:h I have no
('.cul t that robins and 1 tin r birds that
have been south for the winter, hun

Santo tires. Anyl.ow tilt.-; . ir of blue
liids wt.nt"! th.11 l'irdhov.iv, and tin y
v.ue K inly (o lii ! t for it, ai.d tl:at ii
what tbey ditl. l i t- Ilycatrlicr is is nice
little I 1 tii.il 11 in 1 ly plucky suit of a
flghtci, but not n mutch ler the I hie
Itird. They bail a craitil rount! up i'lsido
tho house, mid linrlly the bluebirds
pitched the llyrr.ti lu rs out, tun) later
tl.t y piirlud our t vny stick of furni
ture that the flycatchers laid brought
in, cleaned tho house out entirely and
thru brought in fresh material ami built
a i:rv i.t st uceonling to their own ideas,
nnd they settled ot.wn for the summer.
"Well, 11 few days after that a pair
of wiii scttuic liloro, nntl tin y tttik u
fancy 10 that par.icuhir birdhousp, loo,
und they sailed li;;ht ill and tc.eklt tl tho
blucbird: on the spot. You couldn't sen
the ll;;ht from the Mound, but every
now anil then you could see a straw or
rt feather shoot ont of t-'.c front door of
the house. Tin I hit bird is n good,
sound tighter, but the w:i 11 i:i 11 beller
one, nml the upshot was that tho wrens
fairly put tho bluebird out and took
possi'ssinn of tlm hirdlnwsc thenisi'lMs.
And then tho wrens did just what tlm
others had done. They pitched out ev
ery scrap of stnlf in tl:o birdhousp just
Uiuibled it out of tho door, to fall on
the ground and thru they brought in
few stuff und built a nrst for them
selves. "Nobody lnolivtvd tho wrens. They
taid thero nnd raised their young
there, und in tho full they nil flew
away und left I ho birdhouso iigaiu de

LADIES WHO STOLE.
Strange Tnlra Are Tolil of Our Anorstmrs
of Washington's Time.
Wo naturally have a very exultvd
opinion of the aristocracy of our coun
try nnd can scarcely be convinced tknt
the ludies of society in tlie early days of
independence conducted themselves in
any but the most dignilvwl mnuner. In

feel highly I'lntcd to know that they in
any wise resemble their supposed court

And now for tlie ladies' part in this
proceeding:

THE CAMEL'S HUMP.
Tho Latrat Mrlrotlfle Kiplanatioa of Iri
lrlalu anil I'urpotr.
When did tho camel get its hump?
Be it. known that camels did not
originally have humps on their backs.
So says Professor Cuttnneo of tho Itul
ian Institute of Hcieiioe. Tho proof that
they did not und tbr explanation of
why tlxy have them now is given by
this savant in u recently published
monograph, which is the result of sci
en title tndy of the sobjit't.
The Jliima is known to have been
used at a beast of burden centuries be
fore tlm discovery of tho western hemi
sphere, but if 1 i.yi-erted that thousands
of years bt !ou' ilio flrst llama curried
a loud npou its back rhecnniol hud been
douipsticuted and wot used for tho trans
portutiou of burdens.
It is upon this point t'mt the Italian
savant rest iiis theory ns to tho forma
tion of time uuiiuul's hump. In tho be
ginning, he says, the cumel, like the
llama, wus straight of buck, but 100
centuries, perhups, of making a pack
animal of tho cumel have brought
about 4io change. At first tho skin
grew loose upon the camel's back. Then
there nisi upon its knues the skin grew
thick uud cullous. .Soon nature begun
to pad this burdened part with fut und
muscle, then lor countless generation
heredity did its work. Little by little
tho hump grow, until itlluully ucquired
its present size.
The use of tho cuniel in tho desert
places of tho world also pluyed its purt
in tho fornj-Htiou of this portion of its
auutomy. For, being forcod to go with
out food for days ut a time, uuturocaine
to tho r esc no of the cumel uud provi
dently stored these humps with fut
which should nourish tho beast through
its periods of privutiou. Now York
