AVe were now on the *«ge of the haunts of the raggiana. Hu^ tMM rose towering above onr head% while the nndergronrth of ahmbs, creepers, and \lawyers\ was so dense and taagled that no animal with any body lil^e that of a wild boar cou'.d foTO its way through. The trees with which the hills are covered are very lofty, and bare of birancbes or foliage to the height of 120 to ISU feel. It is on the uppermost boughs of these trees that the bird ot paradise gambols, and one tequiros a cloae-sUootlnff gun to kiU at that distance. After being kept awake a great part Of the night by tbp- murmur of the Ofttires ckatUng around thotr firo, I toppe d oft to sleep, and was awakened ioat at dajIigUt by a shaking nod a •oice hoaraely whispering \jiake\ frag- Siana). I roused myself and listened. Th e tirst light of day was just struggling through ihe dusk of the tree tops, when I caught in the far distance the sound of a piercing cry, rising in x>ower and shrillnesB with each renetition. The sound nmy ba con%-eyed bv the words MECMAJnCAU 'A cotxbs^ani •hipped ten of tb< MANIIFAELIMR ' IIA S chines to Bnaaia. aa the Bosaian G OT - ernment wants ^em to experiment in cotton cnltnre in the Black Sea pror* incesa T o BEMOVE cnndle grenae from for- aitnre withoot injnrins the ••rniah, rub j t off with a litUe wnrm water and A cALcvtATiox made of the fii^ros of m mile^long nuiroad train drawn by • single locomotire, establishes that there were 3,253 tons weight on this train, which was drawn by a single 55< ton en^e.

T HE distribution of mechanical motive power is receiving increased attention in £arope. Should the problem once bo solved, the great factory won Id disappear so far as re- lates 'to its repelling features.

T o seize my gun and slip on my boo*ts was the work of a moment, and the next minute I was peering uj) into tho heightH of a hugo tree to a spot tiiat tho native was poiutiug to, and wlicre tho bird was calling.

I arrived at the camp about 10 a. m., and found that Ginia bad ju.^t arrived, bringing two raggianas and one king bird. The latter is nn especialiy gor- geous bird, about the size of a lark.

I.essoB« in Kin » to Animals. employed is that of rarefied air. B y means of a large steam engine a vacu- um of seventy-five per cent, is pro- duv-ed in a pipe, from which smaller tubes branch off to each workshop. The workshops are severally provided with small motors, worked, 'of course, j-i-* mua^i i i * » i- of the diTorence of. p™ • Think before you strike any creature that cannot speak. * I remember about reading in my boyhood about a merchant traveling ' on horseback accompanied by his dog. H o dismounted for some purpose, and accidentally dropped bis ]>ackage of money. The dog saw it; the merchant between the density of air\ in the tube and that of 'the atmosphere. Thus tho power can be distrib- uted in quantities no greater than may be needed to work sewing machine, for instance. Each workman is sup- plied with an automatic registering ajv paratus, and as ho is able to shut off the power when it is not required ho is rharged only for the quantity act- ually used. A fixed monthly rent is charged in addit'on to the installation, tho rent being proportionate to the size of tho motor in tho workman's room. Tho^principle of rarefied air has been adopted in preference to that of com- pressed air, because there is less dan- ger of accident and tho inconveniences • which might arise fiom tho cbilling ! consocjuences of the xxso of compresscd air in small workshops are avoided. ; Tho importance of tho economic d's- j tribution of motive power in fractional i quantities in Pari: \ ' ' Sono'^e^^rHv^Snk pl^^ ! notio.,-iJ he .aii.

Th e wounded dog crawled back to the package, and when the merchant discovered his loss and rode back, ho found his dying dog lying there faithfully guarding hia treasure. The following little story told by a friend of mine is- not so painful, but adds force to the thought, \Think be- fore you strike any creature that can- not speak.\ •'When I was a boy and lived up the mountains of Ne w Hampshire, I worked for a farmer, and was given a span of horses to plow with, one of which waa a four-year-old colt. Th e colt, after walking a few steps, would lie down in the furrow. The fanner was provoked, and told me to sit on the ^-olt'® to keep him from rising, -to break out mic.pai aivibion • » .a^.i inaf to engaged in small industries who quire in tho aggregate from ten twelve hundred horso power per d Taking tho entire poimlation of Paris, forty per ccnt. are engaged in such triea. . , fortv per ^ , smaU induf toil I'tQ^t^o si;.... about ^x inQjr'» Vi rength, uafeatlicred, witU tho exception of tho extreme ends, | from each of which a small circulor dii»k of bright metallic feathers sprout. The magnificent sexpennis and rific- bird inhabit tho Mount Owen-Stanley and Astrolabe ranges, which lie about twenty miles beyond where I was. In three days 1 bagged eighteen raggianas, three king birds, six gouras, and some smaller pigeons. Tho A»»u«c of Silence. A man and wife enjoying a walk to- gether, or a (ete-a-tete sweetened by confidential and affectionate conversa- tion, is a beautiful sight before Go d and man. Hut too often the picture is reversed. H o saunters out with her, carolcss and uninterested; scarcely dur- ing tho walk uttering a word. Is not this, to say tho least, a great abuso of tho science of silence? Knrly Taehting. Th® pastime of yachting apparently dates from tho tinio of tho ^tuartn, al- though, according to tho researches of tho late Admiral bmyth. tho Plantngo- nets bad ya -hts, and termed tbom **es- neccaB,\ a word, by tho way, whicl: a neighbor came by. He said, 'there' something wrong here; let him get up, and let us examine.' He patted the ! colt, looked at his harness, and then j said, 'Look at this collar; It is so long . and narrow and carries the harness so - high, that when he begins to pull, it alips back and chokes him so he can't breathe.' An d so it was, and but for that neighbor we should have whipped • as kind a creature as we had on' the farm, because he laid down when he couldn't breathe.\ I It was only tho other day I heard of ; a valuable St. Bernard dog being shot, j because, having a wound on his head, concealed by the hair, he bit a person i who handled him roughly. } Boys, j-onng and old, please remem- ber that these creaturcs arc dumb. thirsty, or cold -Hwnpbr nrattend oU Mr .

Jonathan Blodgett watched tho slender, little fingers, with their quick movement, as they inserted the bit of glass, and gave the swan his sight, such as it was. \I'll try you for a week,\ said the old man. Oh , such joy as that occasioned in tho Barkham household! They were so straitened in their circumstances that food had been given out by the crumb-measure.

A hen began to squawk, a duck to quack, a goo»c to hiss, a monktiv to angrily chatter, a lamb to bleat in terror, a watch-dog to bark, while the bear growled and scowled, looking as if he would make a mouthful of tho thief. In addition to all this a voice was shouting, \llob!\ It sounded like a dreadful voice. Rob opened his eyes, and there was old Mr .

It is tho morning of her father's release. N o ono is witli her; she'is alone, and ihivers aa the cold .April wind lifts her poor thin garments and h.r hair, for sho is without any covering to her head. Sho has loved and dwelt with him a'l her dava, sho will love and dwell with him still; perhaps nobody else will do so now, for he has been in there. At length the door opens, and she sees h:m coming through. Her palo littlo face lighta up with a look that speaks welcome more than words —it is her father—such looks as win from true men their tendercst. caress and tendercst words. A s she steals up to him there is in her what could have burst upon him with shouts and leaps of joy. It' longs to do so, but is sorely discouraged; thefath« looks so sullen. Yet, in spite of that, she sidles up to- ward the fellow as he is leaving the doorwar with such a timid, pathetic little prayer in her uplifted silent face. For a few seconds sho is walking by hii side. Then ho half turns his head and looks at the faco so full of gentio woe, which now has a half-bom smilo in it. Is ho going to let her kiss him? \B e off!\ be growls. Ho ia a thick-set fellow, and he half lifts the arm next to her as if ho would •lap the pleading little face with the back of his hand if she continued an- other step by his side.
