Music- and Millinery.
"Good morning, Fogg," said Brown,"

"Oh, so so," answered Fogg, moodily;
"nothing striking about It, excepting the

"Come, eoiiio," returned Brown, "bo

Bird Mrtbs.
About birds tnanv interesting irtnrlcs
hro told (In Kollamfg "Fuunc faphlatte
tte ,a Frame1). Tho owl has cvery
wlnire nenuired nn evil reputation, for"
w hieh tunny legends account. Thin It
l said that when thrt wreU had brought
down lire from heaven, the grateful
birds, with one exception, contributed A
feather apiece to replace it scorched
plumage. Only the owl refund to drt
ns the others did, s&ying It Would re
fiiirt) all its feather during the ap
proaching Winter; on which account it
Was condemned t eternal seclusion dur
ing tli warm day, and to perpetual suf
fcringlrom cold tluring thu night. This
Is the real reason why "the. owl, for all
Its feathers, was as cold" oil St. Agnes
eye, and why the other bids pester it if
it makes its appearance) tn Sunshine. It
may bo true, wis may observe, that an
omelet made of owl'seggs Is a euro for
drunkenness. But It Is fulso etymology
to connect the owl's name of Chathuant
with its siipHse likeness to nnrhat qui
hit. Tho name Is really a corruption
of its old designations Vhavm Vownn
or rnthnnnni. Kipmlly incorrect Is tho
explanation of its name of Kffrnit M
meaning ccllc aul rjfraif. The term l.s
a corruption tf the word rrMrV, which
is connected with tho Latin ptiywgd) the
predictorof misfortune. The woodtmck
er is another bird which has fared ill in
popular fiction. It is .supposed to hnvo
been tho only bird w hich refused to help
w hen the wnter-conrsc of tho earth wero
being made. As It would not join in
digging tho ground at that time it was
condemned to dig into wood forever,
and to bo eternally prevented from
drinking'any' water tixfept mich rain
drops ns it can catch in its bill. That U
why it usually maintains a vertical posi
tion, nnd frcqucntlv titters a plaintive
cry of pluic-pluir. The king-tisher'e blue
coat and rosy waistcoat, and it habit of
flying along rivers, tiro accounted for
by tho following tale: When Noah cnt
forth tho dove from tho ark, ho sent out
the king-lisher also, knowing it to bo a
bird familiar w kit water. It flow tip in
to tho air so high that the sky turned its
back blue, and the sun scorched tho
lower part of its body.-which became
red. By tho time it returned the earth
had began to 'appear, but tho ark had
vanished. Since that time it haa been
ever looking for iLs lost home, locking
it with plaintive cries along the rivers,
where it may possibly find it. The
nightingale's habit of singing at night,
nnd the imaginary sadness of its Hong,
are accounted for by a legend to the ef
feet that in ancient days the nightingale
and the blind worm had only one eye
apiece. The bird Isirrowcd the reptile's
eve in order to go with two eyes to a
feast, nnd aftcrwnrd refused to'restoro
it. The blind worm vowed vengeance
on its perfidious friend. Consequently,
the nightingale is afraid to go to sleep
at night, lest blindworm should attack
it during it slumber. And in order to
keep itself awake it sings, resting its
breast against a thorn, tho pain caused
by which rentiers its singing sad. The
blackbird was originallv, it seems, com
pletely white, its bill included. But it
ttiTcmlcd tho Prince of Riches ono day
by taking up in iU beak some of tho
gold dust it found in his palace, without
previously asking his permission. Tho
Prince exhaled his wrath against tho
bird in lire ami smoke, ami was on the
point of putting it to death, when it
pleaded so piteoifdy for it.s Jifo that he
forgave it. But the lire and smoke gave
to its plumage tho somber hue From
which it derives it.s present name, and
the gold dust it stole has given to its
bonk a yellow tinge. It is probably tho
blackness of the crow's coat which has
given rise to the idea that bad priests
turn into crows after death.
Storms in tbe Mountains.
In the Colorado Mountains the rata
clouds tlo not overspread the whole
heavens as in the Atlantic States, but
Jiass over in areas of narrow width, fol
lowing tip the mountain spurs and
chains, aud often, when the rainfall ou
a mountain top or mountain, side Is mif
liccnt to transform the tiny rivulet or
brooklet into a raging torrent of water,
there will be in tho valloy below, ouly a
mile or two distant, continued employ
mcnt for man and beast. It is a grand,
a glorious sight to witness a thunder
storm in these western mountains, to
listen to the rolling, rumbling, almost
deafening reverberation as the thunder
cloud passes over some lofty mountain
jilatcau or ranges along the crest of somo
jagged mountain clill', and witness tho
vivid play of the forked lightning, as it
Hashes from cloud , to cloud, or darts,
meteor-like, from crag to crag; while
tluring this time the observer is basking
in tint sunshine lu some beautiful valley
just outside the mountain range, not
even subject tit the drippings of tho
skirts of the wasteful mountain shower.

Household Finance.
The TronbU Cxtravagnct Wives and Moan IIus
bands Male. In tbe World.
One of tho peculiarities of the presonti
aneinl -vstotn is tlrnl. feint Inr ie thrt
"money question" between husband
and wives. Although with the nuptial
oath the husband does with all his World
ly goods tho wife endow, too often tho
memory of the obligation dies with thfl
word of promise on the lip. When a
man takes a woman to hn Ids wife lid
assumes the broadest obligation to pro
vido for her comfort and support. A
man of wealth is bound to enable a wo
man tft sustain herself creditably in tho
circle In which they move: tho poor
man to administer to tho conrfort of hi
family as far as within bis means. - Tho
ethical code docs not obligate the alllu
cut man to indulge his family in prolli
gate extravagance, nor the jor man tm
make provisions for his fttmily inconsist
ent with his income. Tho inconsiderate)
nntl reckless waste of tnottcy by' soma
women presided with unstinted means,
and tho endeavor of others whose mean
are limited to a pretentious display, nro
equally to be condemned. There are)
somo men who tlo not rcnli.e, or, nt any
rate, who seem to forgct, that their
wives have any rights in money mutters'
which they are bound to respect. A
wifo to this wrt of a husband is much,
the same as a servant. Does she retpiirn
money for family necessities, she must
render account for tho expenditure of
every cent. If shopping is to Iw done,
site must go to him for money to pur
chase even a spool of thread or to pay
car-fare. This is humiliating to a sen
sitive woman, yet such instances coino
under observation every day. A mart
of delicate sensibilities would himself
feci humiliated that his wife should bo
placed in such a position. And vet the)
man who never thinks to provide his
wife with snlall changeis careftllenougli
to keep the wherewith in his pocket to
supply his cigars, his drinks, his lunch
eons, and other Incidentals', regardless
of the fact thnt a woman, too, has daily
incidental expenses. Tho "moan man"
treats Ids wife in this manner out of
pure cussudness. There are others, how -
ever, w ho make the grave mistake of
not recognizing the ability of thoir ,
wives in pecuniary matters, and treat '
them as though they were children who
do not kuow tho value of money. Theso
two classes comprehend, all married
men, for the man who is too stingy to
give his wife the money which is hers,
by rights Is mean. Advieo would bo
wnsted on him, hut kicking might have
potent etlect. As to tho men who
question the financial shrewdness ami
ability of women, careful observation
should convince them that as general
thing good wives are ever more prudent,
thrifty and economical tluanclers than
men. Put money in your wife's nurse
and send her out shopping, ami sho
