The Bird With a Broken Win*.
I walked through ths woodland meadows,
When sweet the thrushee slug,
And found on e bed of moesee
A bird with a broken wing.
I heeled Us wound snd each morning
It sang Us old, sweet strsiu;
But the bird with the broken pinion
Never soared es high again.
I found a young life broken
By eln’e seductive art,
And touched with a Christ-like pity,
1 took him to my heart,
lie lived with e noble purpose,
And struggled not in vain;
But the life that sin bed stricken
Never soared «» hrgh egeie.
Hut the Gird with the broken pinion
Kept another from the snare,
And the life that sin hed stricken!
Rallied another from deepalr.
Kach loss has its compensation,
There Is bethug for every pain;
But the bird with s broken pinion
Never soars os high Again.

AT THE THREE PIGEONS.
It it rather remarkable, thinks the
New Orleans l’icayutte, that the birth
ralolti Washington City, .according to
the health board statistics, should bo
lower Ilian the death rale. The re-
ports of the board show that there
were in the last twelve years 13,0u0
more death* than births. On tho av-
erage thoro arc seventy-three births to
100 deaths. This is no doubt due to
Hie Urge colored population, among
whom Hie mortality rato is twice that
ot the whites per 1000.

When I tvaa about thirty years old,
I went fishing one Sunday ou tiie
batiks of !he <'her, near Saint-Avertiu.
It was Kusler time, a littlo warm but
quite pleasant near the water. 1 bad
installed myself in uu excellent place.
At my feet tjjg brownish-green water
wouud tranquilly iu aud out between
grassy bauks. Daisies and field-
tlowers grew ou either side close to the
water’s edge.'. 1 heard from lime to
time the bells of Agaz aud Saint-Aver-
tiu ringing for lervtce, aud I took
great pleasure in thu thought that it
was Sunday, that I hud a long day be-
fore me, that I had no uupleasatit
neighbors to disturb me iu my enjoy-
able occupation.
1 had unhappily reckoned witboui
my host. About three o'clock 1 saw
appear, behind the poplars, a couple
who placed themselves ou Ilia other
side of my rod, about leu feet dis-
tant.
They were a middlc-agetl man and
a lady, young and very pretty. The
gentleman, clean-shaven, clothed en-
tirely in black, had a very correct air
and a very severe countenance; the
lady iu a gray dress and straw capote
trimfnett with blue ribbons, was
bloude, plump and very lively. They
carried a fishing-rod, ami the husband
made his wife sit down wbilo lie ad-
justed tiie rod and arranged the bait
Without appearing to watch them I
soon perceived that they were novices
iu the art.
“Good!'' thought I. '‘They arc
amalcurs and will not trouble me un-
less they frighten away the tish witli
their chattering.”
They caught nothing. On the other
hand, iu less than an hour 1 had my
basket half-full. Aly neighbors were
still unsuccessful. Finally, the young
woman, disgusted, threw down her
rod and strolled slowly toward me.
At the momeut she readied me, 1
landed a large perch, aud 1 took a
mean pleasure iu leaving him flopping
about ou the grass, befote pullinj^bliu,
into a basket. i -—-—~ *

They were very reserved about Iheir

that I could learu was that lhay were
staying at Tours, and t* it they lived
at Oilcan*.

enjoyed myself heller than in their
society. That made Hie young wouiuu
smile, and 1 cordially extended iny
hand to her husband, ‘who, aflor n
momont’s hesitation, g»vo mo

the strange sensation I experienced
wlien I grasped that icy hand.

l said, "when I may have the pleas-
ure of returning your hospitality.”
"1 do not believe that,” bo said,
witli a lingular /accent. “We leave
Totlra tomorrow. Adieu! Mon-
sieur. ”
In fact, I never did meet them
again at SaUil-Avai&n, although 1
went every Sunday. 1 often thought
with pleasure of the good dinner
which 1 had oaten at the "Three Pig-
eons.”
Three months passed. One day I
was exceedingly busy at my desk in
the office wlien some one entered and
presented at the wicket a check. In
those days we frequently had checks
presented for payment for public ser-
vices. I look the paper, without look-
ing at the person who handed it in, to
my chief to sign. Returning, I was
cttrioui enough to read ik
It was an order for three liitudred
francs to be paid to the bearer, M.
Bleiger, "High Executioner."
What was iny horror when I readied
the wicket to recognixo in llto “high
executioner” my host at the "Three
Pigeon*” and the husband of the
pretty lady.
I then reinemberod that an execu-
tion had tako place at Tours the day
before my fishing excursiou,

Twenty pound net* along (he Jersey
shore supply New York oily with
most of its fish in summer. To par
for the plant, a Washington Star cor-
rwqtomlenl was Informed, each »el
must catch from M00 to 10,000 pouuds
Of weakllsli anil other scaly game per
day. A pound net costs J3000, ami
R only lasts one year. Next spring u
new ono must bo substituted for the
old, only the 0110)10111 and chains em-
ployed for fastenings being useful for
another scuton. Tho net itself has
bocomo rotton and the wooden poles
ulilixed for support! have been eaten
up by-the bivalve mollusks known as
the “teredo.” Sometime* two sets Of
poles arc required ill one summer.
In order to make tho nets lust so
long they are Inrred all over twice
during the season, once In tho spring
and agaiu iu midsummer. Attempts
have been inado to preserve tho poles,
which arc expensive, by charging them
with mineral acids. Experiments
have been tried iu this direction in
England, Holland, Belgium and else-
where, but nlwnys without good re-
sults. The acids are injected into the
wood. They do keep off (lie teredo to
some extent, bnt tiie process costa so
much money that it is cheaper to re-
new tho polea. Bride til is apt to
tuiut the water, so that the fish is
driven away.
Each pound not extends out throo-
quarter* of a mile into the occau, ap-
proximately. The length varies some-
what with Ihc depth of the waiter oil
shore, the pocket at Ihecud iuto which
the fish arc led requiring to be at a
depth of about forty Xcot. The fish
find the net an obstaclo while awirn-
miug along the coast in pursuit of tho
smalt fry that swarm iu tho shallows,
and thoy follow if scuwnrd until they
find themselves Inclosed in the pocket,
from which they cannot discover an
exit subsequently. There they may
be kopt imprisoned for an indefinite
time, until ibero is a market demand
at profitable prices. One day last
year a single pound net off Asbury
Park captured 100,000 weaktish, which
comprised an entire school. There
was a scarcity of lliom in Now York
and 70,1)00 of the batch were shipped
lo tho metropolis ou ice by a tHg.
They fetched a big stun of moiioy,
but a storm came up and so moved the
net that tho remaining 30,000escaped.
Running a pound net ii very much
like gambling. Between the fluctua-
tions of the city market and the un-
certainly of making catches the own-
er never knows wholhor ho is going
to come out ahead on the speculation.
At present it is believed that there are

New firemen are initialed and old
ones skilled In the dangers and uocei-
siliel of lliulr calling at tho engine
houses where hook and ladder compa-
nies are stationed. At these places
what ia known si (ho "pompier drill”
is gone through, and here, loo, dm
various devioes designed to imuro Hie
safety of human iife are teslod. And
at these plncos, also, tho norva of a
new man is glvou a thorough trial.
To the lay observer the pompier
drill is a thrilling sight. It stirs ono
lo see a 200-pound man run up tho
wall of a four-story building by no
other means than a skeleton ladder
twelvo feet long—a device that ap-
pears lo be ttuablo to bear the weight
of an average youth. Y'et this it done,
aud done so quickly at to take one’s
breath away.
Attached to each engiue-houss is a
throe-story tower with window ledges
on the sides. Tiie pompier ladder is
curved at one eud, and Iho new fire-
man is (anghi how to rest this end 011
Hie first-story ledge so that it will uot
slip while lie is climbing. After ho
Ins readied Hie first ledge he draws
up the ladder and hangs it from (he
ledge.above. Then lie climbs again,
repeating Iho process until (he roof is
reached. The ladder, having no safe
grasp on Ihu ledge, is likely lo slip un-
less skilfully managed. Tiie fire-
man's weight must hold the ladder
securely iu place. A slight shifting
of the weight lo ono side would raise
one of Iho curved prongs resting oil
the ledge, and, tills slipping, ladder
and fireman would fall. It was by an
accident of this kind that a fireman
lost his life a few days ago at the en-
gine-house on Pacific avenue.
The object of perfecting firemeu in
this drill is lo make them skilful in
scaling buildings to the roof where
time is a valuable consideration. An
expert fireman can go to the top of a
building long boforc a truck lader is
iu place.—[Chicago Tribune.

The Wonderful Growth of
World's Fair Buildings.
A Waste Plain Covered With
Magnificent Structures.
II. C. liunner draws tn Scribner Hie
following graphic pen picture of tho
wonderful rise of , tho World’s Fair
buildings iu Chicago:
Ou (he shore of a wide, blue-gray
lake, under a noi l hern sky, veiled ovcl'
half III horizon with u dim, smoky
mist, thore uprosd, Iwo years ago, a
waste ami dcsolstfi sand plain with a
streak of marshy pools iu Iho heart of
it. Hero and thoro wore trunks of
scrubby trees and patches of starvel-
ing underbrush; but it had none of
Hie pleasant loneliness of the country-
side; tho bleak desolation of a grout
city’s wusto outskirts brooded
over tho whole tract. On H10 wosl
tho space was boiindod by Hie fl it
broad road bed of a suburban rail-
load; eastward a strong wall of pon-
derous masonry stood between it und
the sullen swash of the inland sea.
To Hie south it went out of sight in
loneliness; on the north it narrowed lo
n point where a great town had begun
a fight with iiaittro for a few seres of
pleasure ground, stubbornly pushing
a green covering of young trees and
grass across tho itnsvilliiig sand,
lloyond th s patch ot verdure trallod
out tho city’s myrluil slreets, sparsely
settled here, for tho town proper lay
eight utiles away iu tho heart
of the smoky linzo that floated
along the sky line.
Iu Hie mouth of June, 1891, a man
stuck tho nose of a plough into Ihc
sand of this plain, by way of ( begin-
ning an undertaking which lay before
him, and before some scores of thou-
sands of working meu ail over the
country—day-laborers, like himself;
iron-forgers, architect*, truckmen,
carpenters, painters, surveyors, glaz-
iers, designers, moulders, joiners,
masons, gardeners — men of every
trade aud art and hnudicrafl, of
every uoliouality, of evory class and
kind of humanity, working together
in wUloly separate places - for
the accomplishment of one com-
mon purpose. To-day in tho
prosecnliou of this uiftlcr-
taklng, Iho snrfaco of Hint waste plain
has become the Iceuo of one of the
most marvellous manifestations of
mechanical achievement which tiie

such a group of bnildiugtas has never
