Who Owned the Bird?
A hawk captured and killed a carrier
pigeon in Druid Hill park a few days
go after a protracted chase. The chase
Was witnessed by a number of persons.
The lightninglike movements of the pur
suer and pursued were a revelation to
those who were not versed in the flights
of birds. The pigeon, as long as it kept
in a straight line, beat the hawk flying,
but on becoming frightened and confused
it began a zigzag course and was then
. an easy prey. Captain Cassell frighten
ed the hawk sc that he got the pigeon,
but the pigeon was dead when it struck
the ground. On on of its legs was a
metal band bearing the capital letters

DISCOVERY
Cures Ninety-eight per cent, ot all
: cases of Consumption, In all Its
Earlier Stages.
Although by many believed to be incura
ble, there is the evidence of hundreds of
living: witnesses to the fact that, in all its
earlier stages, consumption is a curable
disease. Not every case, but o large per
centage of cases, and we believe, fully gS
per cent, are cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed so far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration (includ
ing tubercular matter), great loss of flesh
and extreme emaciation and weakness.

Mme. Pattl's Proudest Moment.
Mr. Arthur Warren asked Mme. Pet
ri what had been the proudest experi
ence in her career. "For a great and
unexpected honor most gracefully ten
dered," saidPatti, "I have experienced
nothing that has touched me deeper
than a compliment paid by the Prince
of Wales and a distinguished company
at a dinner-given in honor of the Duke
of York and the Princess May a little
while before their wedding. The din
ner was given by Mr. Alfred Rothschild,
one of my oldest and best friends. There
were many royalties present and more
dukes and duchesses than I can easily
remember. During the ceremonies the
Prince of Wales arose and, to my great
astonishment, proposed the health of his
"old and valued friend, Mme. Patti."
He made such a pretty speech and .in
the course of it said that he had first
teen and heard me in Philadelphia in
1860, when I sang in "Martha," and
that since then his own attendance at
what he was good enough to call my
"victories in the realm of song" had
been among his most pleasant recollec
tions. He recalled the fact that his wife
had held Up little Prince George, in
whose honor we were this night assem
bled, and bade him kiss me, so that in
after life be might say that he had
'kissed the famous Mme. Patti.' , And
then, do you know, that whole company
of royalty, nobility and men of genius
rose and cheered me and drank my
health." Popular Magazine.

' ! , An Apache Sea Cook.
Since the days of William Kidd, the
talented but unfortunate buccaneer of
the Spanish main, there has been a halo
of romance over the head of sea cooks.
Not one, however, is himself a more
unique' specimen than the cook of the
British ship John Cooke. The vessel is
now lying at the Santa Fe wharf after a
long and dangerous voyage from Cardiff.
The cook is a full blooded ( Apache In
dian, born in the White mountains of
Arizona. His people, the terrible White
mountain and Ton to Apaches, have caus
ed no end of trouble to the troops and
settlers in Arizona. This man was nam
ed Tumashancy (Silver River) and was
taken when still a child to Mexico, where
he was raised. He has followed the sea
for the greater part of his life and has
visited every part of the globe, learning
several languages, including English, and
becoming some years ago a member of
the Masonic fraternity.
In civilization he is known as John
Levin. He is quite dark, with the Indi
.an physiognomy, and although 60 years
of age appears hardly in middle life. He
has a Mexican wife and family living on
the peninsula of Lower California and
says that this is his last voyage. He was
picked up in Liverpool by Captain Lillia
of the John Cooke. Levin, or Silver
River, is an intelligent fellow and a good
sea cook and does not seem to be half as
bloodthirsty as many other cooks with a
far different pedigree. San Diego (Cal.)

Earthworms Not Blind.
.James Weir, Jr., in a curious little
study in evolution, shows that all tbe
five senses of man are found in the low
er forms of animal life. Darwin, while
admitting that earthworms are sensible
to light, maintains that they are blind.
Weir, in The North American Review,
maintains the contrary. He says that
the circumscribed spots on the . dorsal
surface of tbe worm are primitive eyes.
The microscope reveals in these spots a
transparent membrane, an accumula
tion of pigmentary matter, a special
nerve spread out in this matter and ex
tending to the central nerve structure.
The membrane is tbe cornea, the pig
mentary matter a retina and the special
nerve an optic nerve. As there is no
lens, the worm can distinguish only
light and darkness. The arrangements
for the sense of touch are not materially
different from those in man. The sense
which they are without is that of hear
ing, but sound waves are conveyed to
the sensorium through the sense of
touch. That worms have taste and
smell can be proved by experiments
with food. As to smell, pnt musk near
them, and it is amnsing to see them
hunting their holes to escape it. "The
nerves of taste and smell are blended to
gether and can readily be made out
with the microscope in the lips, so to
speak, of the oral pouch." Pittsburg

A BUDDHIST PRIEST.
TWO TRAVELERS HAVE AN INTEREST
ING TALK WITH HIM. '!
They Found Him In Ceylon, Where the
Original Buddhism Is Maintained The
Chaplain Asked Questions, but Was Not
Converted by the Answers.
My companion, the chaplain, has a
keen interest in ail psychological ques
tions and especially in the development
of the religious man. . In Japan and
China he pursued his investigations
without rest, but he had. never found
the opportunity for which he longed
to talk with some authoritative expo
nent of Buddhism. Here in Kandy the
pportunity offered, and it was speedily
embraced. I decided to go along to give
a layman's view of the interview. We
learned that we could see and talk with
the ' high priest by means of an inter
preter. Now, Ceylon, you must know,
is the place where the original Bud
dhism has been maintained. In Japan
and China it bas been modified and cor
rupted. In Ceylon you still find the leal
article. Besides, Kandy, from having so
important a relic as the Buddha s tooth
large enough to serve as a dentist's
sign is the very holy of holies of Bud
dhism. . To this place must the seeker
after truth come, and here we were, the
secret almost within sight and bearing.
So we meandered half way round the
lovely embowered lake which adorns
Handy- an artificial construction of
the Kandyan kings, 800 years old, fed
by a pure mountain stream and came
to a maze of stone buildings, under bo
trees and spreading palms.
At the entrance we were joined by a
numerous retinue of priests and monks,
draped in mantles about the size of
sheets, yellow in color, arranged to
leave the right arm and shoulder bare.
This is the costume of one sect. ' The
other covers both shoulders. We were
conducted through narrow ways, under
projecting leaves, which gave a pleasant
shelter from the tropical sun, and with
considerable flurry were introduced
into a room opening on a gallery occu
pied by a single old man. He was re
clining on a lounge, and as his yellow
robe had slipped down he presented the
appearance of a Spare bronze figure. He
elowly rose to receive us, adjusting his
flowing robe. Chairs were brought for
us, and we sat down, while the attend
ant priests stood about, curious in pic
turesque attitudes.
. Saving the chaplain for the more
knotty points, I announced through the
interpreter that we were travelers from
America, having a lively interest in
the country, students of all forms of hu
man development and happy to be able
to meet and converse with one who
stands high in the Buddhist faith; that
the name and fame of Buddha were not
unknown to ns, and that we came re
spectfully to learn more of his teach
ings; that there were admirers of Bud
dha and Buddhism in our country who
would be glad to hear what he could
tell us better than anybody else.
The high priest bowed and furtively
scratched his side under the loose folds
of his robe. We took this as a favor
able symptom, and the chaplain squared
himself for the delivery of questions
which had been growing hotter and hot
ter within him for three months. He
asked leading questions in his impa
tience to get on, and 1 cannot undertake
to follow them in their order. But the
substance of what we learned was that
Buddhism is the one true way, 'and he
who obeys its laws obtains peace. ; The
five points of the law prohibit killing,
lying, stealing, uncbastity and intem
perance. The chaplain asked if all the
priests in Ceylon are celibates. The
answer came out rathor slowly that they
are all required to be, and that when it
is discovered that one is not he is dis-'
robed and can be priest no more. j
We were informed that Buddhism is
kept in its purity in Ceylon, and that
Kandy is undoubtedly the true center
of it, because it bus the Buddha's tooth.
They have a catechism which is taught
to the youth, and the priests give ethical
instruction to the people by preaching
and teaching at stated times. The law
against killing animals is very strict.
The chaplain asked the high priest if be
would kill a cobra. He said be would
not. . "What would you do if one came
Linto your room?" asked the chaplain.
The reply was that he would remove
him. To the question, "What is under
stood by Nirvana?" the answer was that
it was a state of perfect peace, no de
sire unsatisfied, . conscious happinesB.
One of the other priests put in a remark
which seemed intended to modify the
last expression. He said: "In a warm
day we are fanned. We cannot see the
air, but it gives us pleasure." They
used metaphors in several cases. ' They
spoke of life as a candle burning in the
wind, which disturbed its flame. Pro
tected, it burns steadily. ,
The chaplain asked if they believed
in God. The reply was that there are
many gods some good, some bad. But
who created the world? It came into
existence spontaneously It could not
do otherwise, as a cocoanut tree bears
cocoanuts and no other fruit.- .
The old gentleman spoke sententious
ly. His teeth, unlike Buddha's, have
hot been preserved. He seemed rather
amused at some of the questions, and he
frequently scratched himself under his
robe. There are about 60 priests and
mojks attached to this temple. They
f r se at 4 o'clock in the morning, de
vote some hours to study, then go out
with their bowls on begging expeditions,
return to study in the afternoon, clean
up the buildings and grounds, go to bed
at 10. . They are not wholly dependent
on what they get by begging. ,
I do not think the chaplain will be
come a Buddhist. He did not get any
thing to convince him that Buddhism is
the only right way. Cor. Boston Her
