fish the others must depend upon
what they find floating upon the water,
| Half way across the Pacific ocean our
ship was followed by sea- birds, and
they certainly obtained very little from
what we threw overheard. They con
stantly dalted around us, aud occa
sionally settled iii the water; but IT
was very rarely that l saw them eating
anything. Where the birds found
enough to keep them from starving I
could not imagine But they always
appear in good condition, and never
flew as If weak or tired. We could
never see them sleeping, but it is pretty
well understood that they rest on the
water at night. Frequently the ship
disturbed them, and we could hear
them screaming, and rising out of the
water, just as If they had been walked
from comfortable sleep They must
sleep somewhere, and as they were
some five or six hundred miles from
the nearest land, their only resting
place would be on the water
One day, when we were approaching
the coast OF kamtschatka, though more
than a hundred miles from shore, and
quite out of sight of land, Il small bird
resembling Il sparrow lighted in our
rigging. a minute later hawk
bounced upon him and began eating
him. 1t was plain that the sparrow
had been chased from land by the
hawk. Both of them were weary, but
the fright of the sparrow, added to his
WEAKNESS, made HIM much weaker than
the hawk He saw the hawk coming
upon him, but he could not fly to an
other part of the rigging, and so lost
his life. One of our officers climbed
up within twenty feet Of the hawk and
shot him while he was taking his din
ner, which he doubtless wanted after
his long flight
1t frequently happens that land birds
are blown out to sea, where they light
upon ships when they are so exhausted
that sailors can catch them in their
hands. An officer If our ship told me
that a bird once came to them IN this
way. The sailors caught and fed him,
and he soon became very tame They
supposed that when they approached
land again he would fly away; but he
had become SO fond of the ship that
he would not leave it. They put up a
box for him to live in, and he went
there every night to sleep. In the day
time he hoped and flew around the
ship; when they were III port he would
sometimes fly away an hour Or so, as if
he wanted to look at the country, but
he never stald away long. One day
he was caught and killed by terrier
dog that a passenger had brought on
board, and the sailors were SO angry at
the loss of their little pet that they
threw the dog overheard. at any rate
the dog disappeared, bat nobody
could or would tell what had become
of him.

Order Of Creation.

There Is Sunday school in Louis

on the first OF January last, the study
OF the International series of lessons.
beginning with the creation of the
world. The second lesson was about
the garden of Eden. The teacher of
the infant class, which numbers about
hundred boys and girls, on last Sab
bath was questioning these little ones
on the previous lesson, to see how
much they remembered of what had
been taught them. AS she went over
the successive days of creation, obtain
ing very satisfactory answers, before
proceeding to the proper lessons for
the day, she inquired who was the first
man created, and Adam was the unanj

ton z" asked the teacher.
Eve, was the prompt reply.
Then one or two questions as to how
Eve was created, and for " hat purpose.
were asked and answered Then came
the next question
What was the next thing created q.
Expecting, of course that the Gear
den of Eden would be the prompt re-
ply, the teacher of course was some

mediate answer; but she was still more
astonIshed, and most etfectually silenc

when little girl, smart beyond here
years, spoke up and said:
- guess 1T was little baby"
The class was promptly dismissed,
and we presume the child will be re-
commended for promotion to a higher
grade. The joke was too good to be
kept secret, and a hearty laugh was IN
dulged in among the teachers when it
became known.

" "a In for Trees.

In reply To an inquiry whether lime is
beneficial to IN orchard, the Germantown
Telegraph replies to correspondent as
follows; Where apple orchards are kept
permanently in grass, as they should be,
top dressing of lime, of say thirty bush
els to an acre, every five years, will prove
very beneficial. William Saunders, of the
Agricultural Department Garden at
Washington, gives the formula, which, he
says, has proved of the greatest benefit ::
Put half n hushel of lime and four pounds
of powdered sulphur in q tight barrel.
shaking the lime with bet water, the mouth
Of the barrel being covered with cloth.
This is reduced TO the ordinary consistency
OF ordinary whitewaSh, and at the time of
application half an ounce of carbolic acid
Is added 10 each gallon of the liquid Mr.
Saunders further says" | generally
apply 1t ia the spring before the leaves
make their appearance: but | am con.
y'nced that it would be more effective if
applied later but then it is difficult to do
so when the tree is in foliage 1t should
be applied not to the stem OF the tree, but

Tea.

Tea was first drank in the State OF
Maine, on Cults Island, about one
hundred and fifty years ago. A daugh-
ter of Major Cults was returning from
school at Boston with "a daughter OF
Governor Vaughan, and drank tea at
the Governors table at Portsmouth.
She afterward purchased a pound OF
tea for a guinea, sent to Boston for
cups and saucers, aud thus introduced
the first tea-set into the state.

An old soldier writes THE day
before we left Camp Nredenburgh,
near Freehold, New Jersey, for the
front, we who had commissions had a
little gloritication in the woods near
by, where We made speeches full oil
wounds, drank toasts full of scars, and
sang songs full of flags. We called on
a young lawyer, an invited guest, to
make a speech, which he did. He
urged the young men everywhere to
enlist for the defence of their country.
Some one, whose cups of wine exceed
ed his discretion, asked the orator
Why do you not go yourself , The
young lawyer threw out his right hand
in spread-eaGle fashion and said

hills and dales In short, | love ny
country as much as anybody, and l am
going to stay at home and ENJOY it -

New Method of Curin. Hams. *.

1t is proposed to better preserve hams,
bacon, and the like, by encompassmg them
with an lmpervious coating of especially
prepared paper. Alter killing, the swine
are hung up IN temperature of forty de-
grees tor thirty-six hours; then packed in
Ice and salt during twenty four hours, and
afterward in brine for the same length o;
time. After this they are sprinkled with
saltpetre and coarse salt, and allowed to
lie for seven days. For another seven
days they are packed bodily in salt After
this preliminary treatment they are wash
ed 10 clear cold water, hung up to drain
tor twenty-four hours, and then all mois-
ture removed with 4 cloth. Fine ground
alum is then rubbed over and upon them,
and paper made pliable by soaking In
alum water is closely pressed upon them,
forming a close, and, it is claimed, practi-
cally lmpervIcus covering to exclude the
air. But it is doubtful if this paper GOV.
erng will serve as good purpose as that
formed of melted paraihne, and used with
fair results In preserving fresh beef from
rapid decay by keeping it away from the
