0 VcHlriluquial Birds. M. Emile Mcrwart. Secrerary-Gener- nl of French Guiana , has sent to the Jardin des Plants , in Paris , two pairs of veutriloquial fowls. These birds , the "Temps" say , are greatly amusing to visitors to the gardens , who assem ble around their cage by their cries , which at once time appear to come from the troes , at others from the sky , and sometimes from the midst of the crowd itself. The llesh of the birds is said to be more savory than that of pheasants or the linest guinea fowls , and their eggs are in great favor anion : ; American epicures. The Em press Josephine tried to acclimatize the species in the Malmaison aviary , but without success THERE IS JUST ONE SURE WAY.

She was ex cited and impatient ; he was dogged and glum. "Oh. doctor , lie has lost liis voice ! lie hasn't spoken a word for two days , " she said. The boy looked at her sullenly , and suffered the doctor to hold his face up to the light. "Open your mouth. H'rn ! Tongue all right ? " "Va-ah. " "Hold your head up and let me look at your throat. Seems to be nothing the trouble there. Push yotir tongue nut. Now pull it back. Feel all right : " "Ya-ah. " "Why.

A good temperance woman was led , in a very peculiar way , to revise her somewhat harsh judgment of the poor devil who cannot resist his cups and she is now more charitable. She writes : "For many years I was a great suf ferer from asthma. Finally my health got so poor that I found I could not lie down , but walked the floor whilst others slept. I got so nervous I could not rest anywhere. "Specialists told me I must give up the use of coffee the main thing that I always thought gave me soine relief. I consulted our family physician , and lie , being a coffee fiend himself , told me to pay no attention to their advice. Coffee had such a charm for me that in a restaurant and getting a whiff of the fragrance I could not resist a cup. I felt very lenient towards the drunk ard who could not pass the saloon. Friends often urged me to try Postum , but I turned a deaf ear , saying 'That may do for people to whom coffee is harmful , but not for me coffee and 1 wili never part. ' "At last , however , I bought a pack age of Postuia , although I was sure I could not drink it. I prepared it as directed , and served it for breakfast. Well , bitter as I was against it , I must say that never before had I tasted a more delicious cup of coffee ! From that day to this ( more than 2 years ) I have never had a desire for the old cof fee. My health soon returned ; the asthma disappeared , I began to sleep well and in a short time I gained 20 pounds in weight "One day I handed my physician the tablets he had prescribed for me , tell ing him I had no use for them. He stayed for dinner. When I passed him his coffee cup he remarked 4I am glad to see you were sensible enough not to let yourself be persuaded that coffee was harmful. This is the best cup of coffee 1 ever drank , ' he continuedhe ; ! , c 0 trouble is so few people know how to make good coffee. ' When he got his second cup I fold him he was drinking Pcsttun. He was incredulous , but I convinced him , and now he uses noth ing but Postum in his home and has greatly improved in health. " Name f. given by Postum Co. , Battle Creek , / Mich.

A FAIR SENORFTA. HE day was a scorcher. In the shady courtyard of old Pietro's place , naif way up the narrow Mexican street on the hillside , sat the two Americans , dusty , tired and travel- worn generally. They were in bicycle suits , and neiufry against the wall leaned their wheels. Everything was oppres sively quiet. Newell was smoking a cigarette , his hands in his pockets , his cap set well back on Ins crisp , curly hair , his eyes lazily watching the sunbeams glint'through the leaves overhead , and all the time he was wondering what the other had brought him there for. "Why don't you say something ? " he asked at last. Truesdale made an impatient gesture , and the slumbering fires in his deep black eyes seemed to leap to life. "Why ? " he repeated in a low voice. "Do you mean why I have brought you to this dead and alive hole ? Because she lives here. " "Oh , " murmured Newell , sympathet ically , flecking the ash from the tip of the cigarette lightly. "That's the idea , is it ? Fire ahead , old boy , give us the details. Who is she ? " ' " ' " answered Trnesdalc "I don't know , gloomily. "I never saw her but once , never spoke to her then , but that's all right. I got it bad , and now I'm going to see her. You know that day on the San Luis road down the mountains , and the old convent ? " Newell nodded. "Well , it was there I saw her. Just a look as she passed with the nuns and a lot of girls. "And von don't know a thing about her ? " "Nothing , save that she lives here at La Ginia. " Newell looked meditatively at Pietro's round brown face in the doonvaj * , and Snally he beckoned to him. "What is the young lady's name who is so beautiful and goes to the convent beyond San Luis ? * he asked , while Truesdale frowned and pocketed his note. Pietro's broad visage beamed with kindly interest. "There can be but one , scnors , " he an swered genially. "In all La Cima there are many go to the convent , but only one so beautiful as to lead the Americans by the smile in her eyes. 'Tis Senorita Do lores , daughter of old Ruiz , and he keeps her close , senors , oh , yes , for no one knows better than Ruiz of the devil in her eyes. He who seeks her favor innst needs be a bold wooer. " Truesdale bent forward with eager eyes. "Where does she live ? " lie asked. "Yonder , near the church. " Newell tapped idly on the table an < i puffed thoughtfully. "What shall I do ? " asked his compan ion. ion.A A sudden flash of mischief shone in the other's bine eyes. "Send her a valentine. " "Oh , quit your fooling , " said Trues dale surlily. "Not a bit of it , " protested Newell , rising. "Send her a valentine to tell your love. Nothing easier. It's St. Val entine's day , don't you know. " "But where shall I get one ? " and Trttesdale's dark , earnest face looked mightily perplexed. "Right here , " answered Newell , promptly , drawing himself up to his full height. "Don't I make a good convinc ing valentine to tell your true love all the happy news ? " Truesdale gave a quick glance at the tall , well-knit , stalwart figure in the white sweater and knickerbockers , the handsome boyish face with a dash f recklessness in the sleepy blue eyes. "Altogether too convincing , " he said. "Nonsense , " laughed Newell. "Lonk here , Bob , you're not the only one , yon kiiovc " and he snapped open the hack of his watch. It was a pretty well-bred girl who smiled out at Truesdale , and he felt satisfied in a way. "I'm going , and if 1 don't bring you back a token that will exceed your wildest hopes , then you can make a Mexican mule of me. " "Honest , are yon going , Rex ? " "Honest. By-by. Won't yon even say good lurk to your valentine ? " I.ut Truesdale never answered. Rex Newell strode down the hot , steep streets , past the church , and paused. "Where is Senor Unix's house ? " he asked of a soft-eyed girl on the church steps. "Yonder , " she said. "Yonder where the rose trees are. " When little Tita opened tho door , she vowed her heart sank at the splendid bow of the tall young stranger , and his air of deference. ' VALENTINE'S DAY. "No , senor , " she said breathlessly. "Senor Ruiz is not at home. He has rid den over to Buena Ventura to see nbout the suit that old Jose will bring against him. and will not be hack till eve. " "And the senorita ? " Tita's eyes looked frightened now , and she half closed the door. "The senorita is at the convent. " "No. she isn't by a long shot , " replied Newell , smiling down at the little maid. "You trot right off like a good little ffirl and tell her her valentine is here. " ' 'Her her valentine ? " repeated Tita hesitatingly , "what is that , seuor ? " lie bent and kissed her with a laugh. "That is a part of it , little one , " he said , "now run and tell her. " Out on the wide piazza , with the fra grance of the garden floating up like in cense around her , Dolores sat in a broad hammock , and tried to keep her eyes fixed on the book in her lap. Then sud denly , Tita was before her , her cheeks aflame , her voice trembling with excite ment , while she told her tale. ' 'My valentine , did he say ? " qneried Dolores , a frown wrinkling her pretty forehead. "What is that ? " "I I do not know , senorita , " faltered Tita with downcast eyes. "And he is tall and fair , you say ? Let him come to me. " "But your father " "Let him come , Tita , " said her young mistress decidedly. What he said , Newell never could have told , but he found himself sitting on a low stool beside the hammock , look ing up into a gem of a face , all fleeting blushes , and dimples , and shy glances from long-lashed , dark eyes , striking straight for his heart. He never thought of poor Truesdale , whose deputy he was , only that he was there beside the dearest girl in the world , with all the Fates on his side , and roses all around them. If ever Dan Cupid did a quick , neat job it was in that hour. By 5 o'clock Rex was calling her all the pet names ho knew in English , and she was teaching him Spanish improvements. By 6 little Tita was frantic for fear the good Senor Ruiz would come home and murder them all , and by 7 , when all the hillsides and valleys were decked in the glory of a coming twilight , two horses rode out of La Cima to the northward. Next morning over the border at Tro- jadina a very happy couple sat over a dainty breakfast , and blue eyes smiled down into brown in perfect content with love , life and all else. Then Newell saw the desolate figure wheeling toward them , and to do him justice , a dull Hush swept up to his curls , and he gave an awkward laugh. "Good morning , " Truesdale said quiet ly , taking in the picture with pitiless scrutiny. ' 'Hello , old man , how are you ? My my wife , Trndsdale. " Truesdale bowed gravely , and Dolores slipped away , leaving them alone. Rex was suspiciously silent , and as for the other , lie was speechless. He looked at the little table set for two , at the rose in Newell's coat , at the dainty lace hand kerchief on the floor at his feet , and sighed heavily. "Say , " he said at last , "I guess you were a kind of comic valentine , weren't you ? " Chicago Ledger. LINCOLN'S GETTYSBURG ADDRESS. LINCOLN'S BOYHOOD. A Playmate V"ho Saved Him from Death by Drowning. The child's life during the time ? the family lived in Kentucky appears to have been entirely uneventful , says St. Nicholas. lie helped his mother after he was o years old in the simple household duties , went to the district school and played with the children of the neigh borhood. The only one of young Lin coln's playmates now living is an old man , nearly 100 years old , named Austin liollnher , whose mind is bright and clear and who never tires of telling of tho days Lincoln and he "were little tikes and played together. " This old man. who yet lives in the log house in which he has always lived , a few miles from the old Lincoln place. tells entertaining stories about the President's boyhood. Mr. Gollahcr says that they were to gether more than the other boys in school , that he became fond of his little friend , and he believed that Abe thought a great deal of him. In speaking of various events of minor importance in their boyhood days Mr. Gollaher remarked : "I once saved Lin coln's life. " Upon being urged to tell of the occurrence he thus related it : "We ; had been going to school together one year , but the next year we had no school because there were so few scholars to attend , there being only about twenty ii the school the year before. Conse quently Abe and I had not much to do , but as we did not go to school and our mothers * were strict with us we did not get to see each other very often. One Sunday morning my mother waked me early , saying she was going to see Mrs. Lincoln , and that I could go along. Glad of the chance , I was soon dressed and ready to go. After my mother and I got there Abe and I played all through the day. While we were wandering up and down the little stream called Knob creek Abe said : 'Right up there , ' point ing to the oast , 'we saw a covey of part ridges yesterday. Let's go over and get some of them. ' The stream was swollen and was too wide for us to jnmp across. Finally we saw a narrow footlog and we concluded to try it. It was nar row , but Abe said : 'Let's coon it. ' j "I wont first and reached the other side all right. Abe went about half way across , when he got scared and be gan trembling. I hollered to him : 'Don't look down nor up nor sideways , but look right at me and hold on tight. ' But he fell oft into the creek and as the water was about seven or eight feet deep and I could not swim and neither could Abo I knew it would do no good for me to go in after hyn. So I got a stick a long water sprout and held it ont to him. He came un. grabbing with both hands , and I put the stick into his hands. Ho clung to it. and 1 pulled him out on the ; bank , almost dead. I got him by tho i arms and shook him well and then rolled him on the ground , when the water poured ont of his mouth. He was all right very soon. We promised each oth er that we would never tell anybody about it , and never did for years , f never told any one of it until after Lin coln was killed. " A hungry man needs no bill ov fare. Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation , conceived in liberty , and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war , testing Avhether that nation or any nation so I conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on a great battle [ field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field , as a final resting place for those who hero save their lives that the nation might live. It is altogether fitting and prop er that we should do this. But , iu a larger sense , we cannot dedicate we cannot consecrate we cannot hallow tills ground. The brave men , living and dead , who struggled here have consecrated it , far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little uote , nor long remember , what we say here , but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us , the living , rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remain ing before us that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain that this nation , under God , shall have a new birth of freedom and that gov ernment of the people , by the people , for the people , shall not perish from the earth. The postal service of the United States employs more persons thanthat of any other government in the world. The chief clerk of the Postoilice De partment has prepared a list showing that 207,502 persons are under the or ders of the Postmaster General. The army and navy combined does not ag gregate more than half of this num ber. The postal employes arc divided as follows : Postmasters , 00,4SG ; rural free delivery carriers , 30,001 ; city let ter carriers , 21,7)7)4 ; star routes and railway mail service , 41',731 , of which 32,214 are in the railway mail service ; clerks , second class oliices , 24,743 ; as sistant postmasters in first and second class postotfices , l.rjrU ; estimated num ber of clerks in third and fourth class oiliccs , 14,000 ; estimated number of clerks paid by postmasters , C2COO. In the Postoflice Department there are 1,150 clerks and other employes and 400 inspectors. The figures of Chief Clerk Chance do not include 30,000 substitute rural free delivery carriers I I and about 3,000 substitute city letter carriers , which would swell the figures I I to 302,302 employes. It is estimated that the postal employes draw about ? 1U,000,000 a year in salaries. " By the Panama Canal the distance by wftter from S.'ui Francisco to New York will be reduced from 13,700 to . " ,300. and the distance from New York to Yokohoma or to Sydney will be re- , duced from about 13,000 to less than 10,000. On the other hand , the Panama Canal will make it no easier to nui over from New York to Hong Kong for a day's fishing than it is now to go by the Suez ; the routes east and Avest are each more than 11GOO miles long , and the route by way of Suez is 100 miles shorter. Interest in the Department of Agri culture's water sterilizer has been re newed by the success attained in .1 city of the Middle West. The water supply had become infected with ty phoid-fever germs. Dr. Moore of the department sterilized the reservoir with copper sulphate so successfully that although the germs were wholly eradicated and the epidemic checked , no trace of the disinfectant could be detected in the water by sight , smell or taste. The amount was one part of copper sulphate to one hundred thou sand parts of water. Prof. Wiley , of the Bureau of Chem istry at Washington , who is conduct ing the adulterated food experiments , complains that he is utterly unable to procure for his purpose any uncolored butter. He also denounced the use of the coal tar dyes with which butter is colored , saying that they "overbur den the kidneys. " This is an instruct ive comment on the United States laws which prohibit the coloring of artifi cial butter , even with palm oil , which is perfectly wholesome , but permit the coloring of genuine butter with coal tar dyes or anything else. It is expected that a constitutional amendment will be offered during the present session of Congress prohibiting polygamy in any State or Territory of the Union. It is now agreed that this is the only method by which the con dition of affairs'in Utah can be rem edied. It is impossible to revoke the j enabling act by which Utah gained j Statehood , and the general opinion seems to be that a constitutional amendment is necessary to give the government sufficient authority over a State in which polygamy is prac ticed to eradicate the evil. Fearing the arduous work of the mid-winter maneuvers of the North Atlantic squadron of the United States navy , some 520 men deserted during three mouths last autumn , a fact which has just leaked out from official sources. The following esti mate is made of the numbers of de serters from various vessels : Battle ships Kearsarge , GO ; Alabama , 75 ; Il linois , G5 ; Massachusetts , 55 ; Maine , 64 ; Iowa , 72 ; Missouri , 100.

Grover Cleveland , the only living ex-President , will be 72 years old when Roosevelt's term is completed in 1909 ; yet there can be no addition to the corps of ex-Presidents till then. Mr. Roosevelt , who will then be but little more than 50 years old , ought to have a long membership in the "ex-Presi dents' club , " which of late years has sadly dwindled in numbers. Since the Bureau of Plant Industry was organized , three yeai's ago , it has been necessary to increase its force nearly ijp per cent , and it now em ploys OuO workers , GO per cent of whom are engaged in scientific investi gation , and its application to the farm , the orchard and the garden. , During the past fifteen years the United States government has spent a million and a half dollars on irriga tion and geological surveys of the Great American Desert. As a result , it is asserted that a large part of this arid land can be brought under cul tivation by irrigation and made to sup port a population about as great as that of the whole country to-day. With this assurance it Is plain that we havg not , as yet , even approached the limit of our producing power. ' GENERAL DEBILITZ RESULTS PE03I IMPOYEEISZED BLOOD.
