WOMEN'S INTEREST IN THE FAIR.

Among tbe paaseogere on tba steamer N'ormannla were Mr. and Mrs. potter Palmer. who have spent the la*t three months In Europe. It l> already known that Mrs. Palmer received a cordial reception abroad a* president of tbe I sard of holy managers of the Chicago World's fair In Ini king of her trip she said: “I went abroad for rest and recreation, and bad no Intention of doing any work for tlie board of lady managers, because most of tbe foreign governments bad not yet accepted tbe invitation to participate In tbe fair, and consequently could not la. approached on the subject of the committoe* of ladies which we so desired to form. When I reached London, through tbe kindness of our minister, Mr. Lincoln, I waa presented to many persons who took great interest In tbe work of the board of lady managers. "Among these were the Princess Christian, Lord Salisbury and Baronros UurdettCoutta. Tbe Princess Christian is notable for her active work for the women of England, and gives much of her time to aid •elf supporting women. She suggested at once that a committee should be formed, but as wo wished this to come from tbe government we were obliged to wall until the appointment of the royal commission. “When 1 reached Vienna 1 found that Austria had not yet accepted the Invitation of our government. They will undoubtedly accept later. Prioress MeUentlch. the Archduchena Marie Theresa, the Duchess of Cumberland, and the Ttnroness Langw nan are all ready to ask for the recognition of a committee of women as soon aa the proper moment arrives "In Paris the women who have been recognized by the government In connection with the Congress of Feminine Works and Institutions at tlie exposition of 1630 asked for an Interview, and a day was appointed for them to call on me. I expected ten or twelve, but forty-two came, as well aa many influential senators and deputies They represented all the prominent eliarith-s and lustllutlona of France. Among those present were M. Jules Simon, M. and Mine. Jules Seigfrlcd. Mme. de Moiater, Mine, llogelot, who repreaentrd France at tlie International Council of Women nt Washington two years ago; Mine. Julie Martin and many others "Tbe roembcni of our own board present ere Mrs Bussell Harrison, one of our vice presidents, Mrs. General Logan, ot Washington; Miss Sarah T.

A Bird's Indignation.

ITS ago 1 found Id my garden a nest of tbo shrike. Tbe young birds, four or five iu Dumber, were nearly fledged. Having heard a good deal of tbe predatory habits of tbe triiie. I w as going to wring *belr neck*. I had put lliein on a hedge, •ud they sat quit* still, but looked so proud and self |>ossesaed, and tbo dark glittering eyes that were bent upon ms with an expression of Indlgtuant snrprtoo said so plainly, “Have we not as good a right to lire as you I" that my conscience smote me, anil I could uol fiud it lu my heart to kill them. I walked away to call my daughter and show them to her, but when I came Irack they were gone. One morning next year I waa in tbe garden looking at my rosea, when 1 felt something fait the back of my bead. Turning round, not a little startled, I saw a bird flying up to the lop of a high tree. Wheu It had got there it said "CheckI" Very soon afterward, it came down again, flapped iu wings against my head as it had done before, flew op to an opposite tree, and reK ted tu “Check!" At the first glance I

seen that It was a lanlua.

Since then and for several days I could never show myself bareheaded In the garden of a morning without being assaulted or saluted In the same manner, and soon got quite accustomed to It. When my bead hapjiened to be covered I waa left alone, and neither my gqFdener or any other frequenter of the garden was attacked. It la clear that tbe bird must have been either one of the nestlings of tbe preceding year or one of their parenU, and that It remembered me probably aa tbe disturber of Ha peace, not with any feeling of gratitude ‘--Ting spared a life I might have taken sd not given, for It evidently hit me aa hard aa It could, and there waa an unmistakable sound of satisfied revenge In lu cry.—Loudon Illustrated New*
