A PLEASING DRAMA.
Finely Executed by the StudonU of
New Bern Military Academy.
The department of Elocution of the
Mew Bern Military Aoademy presented
In a very creditable manner the war
play, "Lights and Shadows of the Con
federacy," at the New Masonic Theatre
lsst night. It vividly recalled the days
of 01-95 whsn friends and even kins
people were retainers of the opposing
factions. It was this -condition that
largely made the story of the plsy.
Tbe battle scene was very realistic
and the scene of ealUtlsg soldiers was
one which was very natural. The aut
Si which tbe northern army was descri
bed at leaving home was one which was
true to life. The ebaraoters la some in
stances were rather stiff hat those who
aeve Appeared la plays before acted
their parts well.
As a cartels raiser Miss Mollis West
gave a recitation, and Misses West, Hoi-
lowell, Co haa sad Peok gave a very
pretty paatotalmts production.
The play Wis Interspersed .with beau
tiful living pictures which were greatly
enjoyed.

THE ROBIN.
H la
an Adaptive Bird, bat
Dmm'I Mix Mortar.
The robin is a very adaptive bird cer
tainly. It adjusts itself readily to new
conditions, but it falls far short of the
Intelligence that Is often ascribed to It.
Thus there are persons who seem to
believe that when mud is scarce the
robin will bring water in its beak to
the dust of the road and bo make the
mortar that it needs. This notion Is, of
course, absurd. How could the robin
know that water and dust will make
mud? This knowledge Is the result of
reflection and experiment and is not
within the reach of an animal. More
than that, If tbe robin could find the
water he could certainly find the mud
somewhere. I have known them to use
a substitute for mud furnished by tbe
cows.
Another equally absurd claim for the
robin comes from a correspondent. A
robin had her nest in a tree under his
chamber window in such a position
that he could see all that happened In
the nest He says that when the young
robins were nearly grown he saw the
mother bird take them, one by, one, by
the nape of the neck and hold them out
over the rim of the nest to teach them
to use their wings! I suppose, "our
modern school of nature study" would
accept this statement without question.
It Is such preposterous natural history
as this that furnishes the stock in trade
of this "school." Some persons deceive
themselves in what they think they
see, and not n few, I am convinced, are
deliberate falsifiers. John Burroughs
In Outing.

While there are no black races in
digenous outside of the tropics, tbe
leading American, English, French and
Italian ethnologists boldly tcarh that
the white races of the world are sim
ply modified negroes and that the Anglo-Saxon
and other white races are
of an African origin, having crossed
over Into Kurope during the neolithic
age. Their lialilts. character of food,
environments, attitude of their homes,
climate, occupation, their greater dis
tance from tho rays of the tropical
sun, nre some of the ethnological fac
tors which are believed to have bleach
ed their skins nnd made them white.
