THE nest of the swan is thick and
rather untidy mass of sticks, reeds, flags
and rushes. From the fact of the birds
naturally preferring the most secluded
spots by the water, we more often find a
swans nest on an eyot than on either
bank of the river; the osier beds are
perhaps the localities most favored by
them. The eggs are six or eight In num-
ber, and are hatched in five or six weeks
The young birds are termed cygnets, and
are covered with grayish- brown plu-
mage, which is not entirely lost till the
beginning of the third year. Though the
swan is, in general, very gentle and in
offensive, the male bird will defend the
nest with great courage, and advance to
the onset with ruffled pinions and every
demonstration Of anger; nor is it from
its muscular powers an antagonist
to be despised. While the cygnets are
very young, one or two of them will
sometimes climb up on to their mothers
back, who never sails along more proud
ly than when her dusky brood is thus
Graded between her snowy wings.
Swans do not breed until they are sew
eral years old, and they mate strictly in
pairs; the technical terms for the male
and female are cob and pen. The cob,
or male, has thicker neck and larger
berry" at the base of the bill than the
pen, or female he also swims more buoy
antly, from having more volume of lungs.
Maturity in both cob and pen is shown
by the size of the berry" and the depth
of the orange color of the bill. On the
Thames the nests are sedulously watched
by the fisherman, who receives half
crown for each young bird that is
hatched. He also takes care of the birds
during inclement winters, receiving two
shillings week for the time during
which he has given them food and shell
ter. Taking swans eggs from the nests,
and certain other birds, was an offense
severely dealt with in old times. We
find, in an act of Henry VII, that " No
manner of person, of what condition or
degree he bee, take or cause to be taken,
be it upon his owne ground or any other
mans, the egges of any fawcon, gos-
hawk, laners, or swans, out of the nest,
upon paine Of imprisonment of a yere
and day, and fine at the Kings will, the
one halle thereof to the King, and the
other halle to the owner of the ground
where the egges were so taken. ART

Luv Letters.

food for an outsider to peruse known to

If people would set down after they

An Enfant Terrible at the Play.

A BABY was present while Mccullough
was playing in New Orleans the other
night. The Picayune says: AS the mis-
fortunes of Spartacss approached their
elimination the baby gave vent to vari-
GUS expressions of alarm and discomfort
When the gladiator bade his wife and
child farewell the baby howled dismally;
when the rebel chieftain swore ven
geance and destruction on Rome the
baby deprecated his violence in moving
terms. But when Jessippius, or whatever
his name was, rushed in with great
deal of brick dust on his throat and lots
of blue plaster distributed about his head
and body; when he gasped and gurgled
and flung his arms wildly about and
laughed maniacal and fiendish laugh,
and when Spartacus Tipped out his
cleaver and fell upon the expiring
wretch with savage fury-thcn, then ye
angels and ministers OF eiscord! then
that baby burst into a storm OF squeals
and screams and screeches that drowned
the thunders OF the stage and raised the
hair of the spectators with a horror
never contemplated in the programme.
The noise was presently subducd; there
came a sound as of strangling and .
furry suggestive Of baby chokcd and
sat upon; and the play at length pro-
cceded."

Good Evidence.

In one of the New York courts party
was recently on trial charged with send
ing scurrilous postal cards through the
mail. The prosecution offered in evil
dence letter written By the defendant,
in which certain words were misspelled
He did so with the view Of showing that
the same words are misspe1led In the
same way in the postal cards in question,
and then arguing to the jury that the
identity in spelling is additional proof
that the defendant wrote the cards. In
his support of his right to offer he quoted
this curious case;
"a tailor in Ayr, Scotland, by the name
of Alexander, learning that a man of the
same name had died leaving considera
BILE property without any apparent heirs
obtained access to the house occupied
by Mr.. Alexander during his life, and
found there collection of letters about
his family These he carried off, and
with their aid fabricated mass of sim.
liar productions, which, as was claimed,
DlONCu SOAASSOioA "AeA WIN
family of the deceased. When the tail
or's suit to gain possession Of the prop
erty came on for trial it appeared that
there were a number of words in the let
ters which were produced by the suitor
and which purported to be from differ
ent individuals, misspelled in the same
way Upon examination it appeared
that the letters were all written by the
same hand, and the case attracted the
attention of the inner house. The tailor
was therefore brought to the clerks ta
BILE, where he was made to write dicta'
ton of the Lord Justice Clerk, and in
doing SO he misspelled all the words that
were misspelled in the fabricated letters
and in precisely the same way. He then
confessed that the letters in question
were fabricated, and that he had writ
ten them on old paper found in the gar
ret of Mr.. Alexander's house"
The court, without regard to the CASE
cited, admitted the evidence.

Egyptian Flies, Rats and Ants.

A LARGE stable contained the twenty
horses, which, by great care, had kept
their condition. 1t was absolutely
necessary to keep them in dark stable
on account of the flies, which attacked
all animals in swarms. Even within the
darkcned building it was necessary to
light fires composed of dried horsedung
to drive away these prosecuting insects.
The hair fell completely off the ears and
legs of the donkeys (Which were allowed
to ramble about(. owing to the swarms
of flies that irritated the skin; but in
spite of the comparative comfort OF a
stable the donkeys preferred life OF
outdoor independence, and fell off in
condition if confined to house. The
worst flies were the small, gray ones with
q long proboscis, similar to those that are
often seen in houses in England. In an
incredibly short time the station fell into
shape. I constructed three magazines
of galvanized iron, each eighty feet in
height, and the head storekeeper, Mr..
Marcopolo, at last completed his ardu-
Gus task of storing the immense amount
of supplies that had been contained in
the fleet of vessels This introduced US
to the While lie rats, which volunteered
their services in thousands, and quickly
took possession of the magazine by tun-
neling beneath and appearing in the
midst of rats paradise, among thou
sands of bushels of rice, biscuit, lentils,
etc. The destruction caused by these
animals was frightful. They gnawed
holes in the sacks, and the contents
poured upon the ground like sand from
an hour-glass, to be Immediately at
tackled and destroyed by white ants.
There was no lime in the country, nor
stone of any kind, thus it was absolute
ly impossible to stop the ravages OF white
ants except by the constant labor OF
turning over the vast masses OF boxes
and stores to cleanse them from the
earthen galleries which deEote the pres
ence of the termites.-"I Isnsailta, " by Sss
Samuel Baker.

LITTLE MINISTRIES.



THR ifiirmtr Of waterfall
A mile away,
The rustic when robin lights
Upon spray,
The tapping of lowland stream
On dripping boughs,
The sound Of grazing from . herd
Ofgentle cows,
The echo from wooded hill
Of cuckoo's call,
The quiver through the meadow grass
At evening fall:
Too subtle are these harmonies
For pen and rule,
Such music Is not understood
BY any school;
But when the brain is overwrought
1t hath spell,
Beyond all human skill and power,
To make it well.
The memory Of a kindly word
For long gone by,
The fragrance Of fading flower
Sent lovingly,
The cleaning Of a sudden smile
Or sudden tear,
The warmer pressure Of the hand,
The tone of cheer,
The hush that means, ~ cannot speak
But have hcefd:.
The note that only bears a verse
From Gods own Word:
Such tiny things we hardly count
As ministry;
The givers deeming they have shown
Scant sympathy;
But when the heart is overwrought,
Oh, who can tell
The power Of such tiny things
To make it well!
