THE IMPRISONED NIGHTINGALE A TRAGEDY OF A NEW YORK FLAT. A family living in an uptown apartment-house bought a night- ingale early last June. Then they went away to Newport for the | eummer, leaving the nightingale in charge of the caretakers in their apartment. $ TUB MOST } Vonuetneaenes During a large part of the day the night- $ 2 MZARD IN ingale, sitting in his cage in a back window of 8 pieiele wenn, the apartment, calls in a strong, clear voice rs for his mato, or, rather, for a mate. His “love- $ call” ie a beautiful strain of music. It rings out, now pathetic, now imploring, now hopeful, now despairing. But after it has been heard several hundred times it begins to grate upon the sympathies $ and the nerves. : Toward 1 o’clock in the morning the nightingale begins to sing to the moon and the stars which he cannot see. He is shut in a dark room. He js all alone. Tho air is stuffy and has not a suggestion in it of the open fields and woods of which he sings. But thero he sits, 250,000 park at Coney Isiand laundry, untaxable sunitght ‘ u solitary cell. The poets who have written of tho marvels of the nightingale’s song in the open could not begin to express the tragedy of the song of a nightingale caged as is he. He gives a marvellous concert. But—thore is a time for overy-| 4 thing. Thero is a time for listening to concerts and there is a time|> for sleep. And the people who live in this apartment-house cannot sleep with this streng-throated prisoner pouring out his lament in ‘ great waves of anguish that thrill through the house in the early|? morning hours of darkness. Even tho weary, heavy-aleoping ser- vants lie awake, listening, fascinated, longing for sleep, yet unable to get it when that beautiful lament is filling the air. Every one in the house is enraged. But not a word of denuncia- tion has been uttered against the bird. All sympathize with him, all love him. No one blames him for following the law of his nature and for lamenting his tragic fate. 1 Here is an instance of that lack of consideration which is the greatest curse of human intercourse. The worthy owners of this nightingale cannot hear him. What do they care for his sorrows? What do thoy care for the discom- fort, the actual suffering they are inflicting: upon their fellow-tenants? But any one who could keep such a bird as this {na cell, in soli tary confinement, in a stuffy room in a shut-up apartment, could not) ¢ be expected to have kindliness or politeness cnough to think of the feelings of a bird—even the most glorious bird that over inspired 4 poet’s imagination. 4 JACKSON'S CONSUMPTION “SOLAR PLEXUS.” ‘Ten years ago Peter Jackson, the pugilist, was a splendid speci men of physical manhood—robust, erect, powerful, with lungs like 3 Goocecceccccesy a blacksmith’s bellows.

They go on eating ‘$| huge quantitios of food after they stop the exercise that would help >|them digest it. And people wonder that they die young. But exercise is not to blame. When Jackson was a bouncing black baby there was in Now York a palo little five-year-old boy, too weak to play like other chil- | dren, so puny that his parents feared he would not live to maturity. >| They kept him out of doors.

A Labor Bureau expert who is investigating the homes of the poor suggests that Mr. Carnegie and Mr. Rockefeller should build|‘ model tenements in New York. By all means; the need is great. But Ict them build as in- vestors, not as philanthropists. ‘A dark, evil-smelling tenement, a foe to health and morality, is a bad investment even jeoeccoccoooeh! when it yields 20 per cent, if it bids fair to »\ “tumble down before it’s paid for itself.” A new tenement, clean, light and wholesome, costs more. But it is a good investment if it pays 5 percent. It will last fifty years; for at least twenty years it will grow steadily more valuable. ‘ The more model tenements the better; but let them be business, not benevolence, Help!

Te the Editor of The Evening Worl ‘A correspondent asks how he may ob- tain rellef from a man in higher author- ity in his office who persecutes him. I have a word of advice to the persecuted man. Look up to your persecutor as your supertor and not as your equal, as you have evidently been in the habit of doing. Try to lighten dis burdens by as- sisting him in eveny .way possible ine stead of putting atumbling blocks before him in the shape of errors on your part; remember that as he holds a much higher position than yours he can most likely discharge you at any time. Avoid this out of respect to those dependent upon you for support. 8. FRANCIS HALLOWAY,, Brooklyn, N. Y.
