OLDEST TREES IN THE WoRLD.-Tbe cy-
press of Somma in Lombardy, Italy, Is perhaps
the oldest tree On record. 1t was known to be
in existence in the time of Julius Cesar, AZ
years before Christ, aud is, therefore. more than
1000 years old. 1t is loo feet iu height, and
20 feet in circumference at one foot from the
ground Napoleon, when laying down the plan
for his great road over the Simpon, port on
one of the Alps, divereed from straight line TO
avoid injuring this tree. The honor of superio,
antiquity, however, is claimed By some in behalf
of the immense and venerable tree in Calayeras
county, California, which is supposed, from the
number Of concentric circles in the trunk, to bs
2.566 years old.

SIXTEENTH VOLUME---N MBER S22.
Singing School for Birds.

There is such q school as this, and very good
scholars it makes. They cannot read or write,
but they can sing. They sing few simple notes,
like the linnets you may hear in the fields; but
after they are taught they will whistle regular
tunes.
Lest summer I was at 4 friends house at Ma
hant. / rose early in the morning and went
down stairs to walk on the piazza. While there
| heard, as thought, some person whistlng q
tune in very sweet style. l looked around but
could see no one. Where could the sound come
from ! l looked up and saw little bird in o
cage. The cage was hung in the midst of flow
ers and twining plants. "Can it be- thought T,
that such little bird as that has been taught
to sing regular tame so sweetly" / did not
know what to make Of itl When n,y friend
came down ssairstsha told me that /. was indeed
the little bird who had whistled the sweet tune
Then my friend cried out to the bird, "Come,
Bully, Bully, sweet little Bully Bullfnch, give
us just one more tune" And then this dear
little bird hoped about the cage, looked at its
mistress, and whistled another sweet tune. 1t
Was SO strange to hear bird whistle a regular
tune! "Now, Bully" said my friend ''you must
give US Yankee Doodle Come, come you shall
have some nice fresh seed if you will whistle
Yankee Doodle" And the little thing did
whistle 1t, much to my surprise
My friend then told me that he had brought
the bird from the little town of Fulda, in Ger
many where there are little schools for teaching
these birds to sing. When bullfnch has learned
to sing two or three tunes he is worth from forty
to sixty dollars; for he will bring that price in
France or England Great skill and patience are
needed to teach these birds Few teachers can
have the time to give to the children under their
charge SO much care as these bird-teachers give
to their bird-pupils. The birds are put into
classes of about six each, and kept for time in
dark room. Here, when their food is given to
them, they are made to hear music, so that when
they have eaten their food, or when they want
more food, they will sing and try to initiate the
tune they have just heard. This tune they prob
ably connect with the act of feeding As soon
as they begin to initiate few notes the light is
let into the room and this cheers them still more
and makes them feel as if they would like to
sing. In some of these schools the birds are not
allowed either light or food till they begin to
sing. These are the schools where the teachers
are most strict.
After being thus taught in classes, each bull
finch is put under the care Of boy, who plays
his organ from morning till night while the mas
see how the pupils are getting on. The bull
tinches seem to know at when they are
scoided, aud when they are praised by their mas
Der or mistress; and they like to be petted whom
they have done we'll. The training goes on for
nine mouths; and then the birds have got their
education and are sent to England or France
and sometimes to America, to be Sold The
Nursery.

The Income Tax and It's nlegality.

The New York Sun (Republican) says that
''every man who pays the income tax, pays an
unconstitutional tax, levied contrary to law, and
which could not be legally collected Of him." 1t
that is true, then is the United States Govern
mcnt robbing its citizens yearly to the extent Of
the income tax they pay. The question will un-
doubtedly come up hereafter, in Congress, about
refunding to the parties from whom this uncon-
sttutional and Illegal tax has been collected, ac-
cording to the Sun. the amount they have thus
Illegally paid. If the fve-twcnties (bonds) are
to be paid in gold when the law does not require
It, can i be claimed that these who have paid
their income tax, should not be refunded the
several amounts they have paid? Is everything
to be on the side Of the bondbolders, and nothing
on the side Of the taxpayers? Let the people
answer --Nrrthern Pn3,er. .

SIMPLE DIRECTIONS FOR PRESERVING FURs
Ladies' are often anxious about keeping furs
free from moths during the summer months
The following directions may be found useful:
Darkness is all that is necessary. The miller
that deposits the eggs from which moths are
hatched, only moves In light; the moths them
selves work in darkness. Hang the furs in a
very dark closet, and keep it always dark, and
you have no trouble. But as closet doors
are sometimes lett open, the better way is to en-
close the articles loosely in paper box, put this
in pillow case, or wrap around with cloth, and
hang up in dark closet. Camphor, spices, OF
perfumes are OF no Continual darkness is
sufficient. And do lot take out the furs in j une
OR July to give them an airing; for even then
the enemy cometh, and it may be that in fifteen
minutes after exposure, has deposited an hun
dred eggs. Ifyou consider an airing indispen-
sable give the rurs good switching aud put them
quickly back

The RISK OF THE BALLET DANCERS

THE RISK OF THE BALLET DANCERS
Have our readers ever reflected on the courage
required in the ballet dancers profession The
risks she runs are hardly less frequent and far
more formidable than those which the soldier OF
the line or the mau-ot-war's man gets SO much
credit for facing. 1t is one thing to take your
chance of being sabred Or hit by bullet; but il
is TO our mind a much moro terrible ordeal to
pirouette in combustble gauze before the foot
lights, or, worse still, to be pinioned to an iron
niche in some brilliant transformation scene and
to remain immovably fixed to your precar.ous
perch amid blaze Of light and within leap Of
the flames from a thousand burners Yet this
is the experience which myriads Of poor girls
have to encounter. night after night, that ju.
veniles may be entertained and gawky crowds
amused. A girl Of this i'll starred profession,
whose skirts caught fire at concert hall in Bir-
mingham on the evening of February 20, died on
the morning of Monday following, adding another
to the hecatomb of such victims yearly sacrificed
to frivolous and callous public.

CONVERSION OF DEAD ANIMALS INTO
MANURE.-At the present time, in France, en-.
tire bodies of animals are subjected to the action
of dilute hydrochloric acid, by means of which
they are completely dissolved, including the
bones, and converted into uniform pulp, which
is inodorous, and can be kept for any length Of
time, to be applied when needed towards fertili.
zing the soil The inventor of the process has
already used up hundred and fifty horses and
large number of sheep, and made from them a
