A Bird Charmer.
Paris has found a new sensation in a bird charmer, who has been astonishing the boulevardiers with his powers. A bet was made between him and M. Loizey, a gen- tleman who was rather sceptical in such matters. The conditions were that M. Loizey should furnish a dozen birds, which were to be at the disposal of the charmer for fifteen minutes. At the end of that time M. Picard was to open the cage which contained them, and each bird was tv alight upon a certain arbutus, brought upon the ground by him and placed at a distance of 100 metres from the point where they were liberated. For each bird which did not obey the charm within a quarter of a hour M. Picard was to pay M. Loizey fifty franes, aud for each bird which did, M. Loizey was to pay M, Picard the same sum. When the time for the test arrived so large and so curious a crowd had gathered on the Champ de Mars that it was impossible to maintain, the needful space of 100 metres around the spot where the cage was placed. Forty metres was all the distance that could be secured. The re- sults, therefore, were not accepted as determining the bet, and another trial was made. The birds, hcowever—released un- der the conditions—flew one by one to the arbutus and perched on its branches, to the great astonishment, it is said, of the spec- tators, M. Picard’s charm consists, it is believed, in impregnating these branches with a colorless and mysterious liquid, the secret of which is as yet his own.
The post office is a fairly good barometer of the commercial prosperity of a place. In Japan a kind of bankruptcy prevails, and the people are upvable to pay postage on their letters; hence they have ceased writ- ing to one another. The post office returns for February show that the number of letters which passed through the post office during that month was 208,878 less than the number for January, and the number of postal cards 699,187 less, This is a very
month for valentines, too. Is romance dead in that Land of the Rising Sun !
