The Ruins of jamestown.

jamestown was settled by the intrepid
John Smith, May ID, 1907, and was, as
is well known, the first English settle
ment on this continent. 1t was pen
insula then it is an island now. The
water long since forceda passage through
the narrow neck that connected it with
the main land and left it an island. But
the effect of attrition did not end here.
For nearly mile from this locality
"the noble James" has been gaining
on the land. So much of the old town
is now under water, and. at low tide,
evidences of this fact have sometimes
been discovered In the debris that is
left there. The old tower and ruins of
the church are now less than fifty yards
from the water, and must, in time, be
submerged unless some action be taken
to prevent it. The tower, ivy-grown
and picturesque as it is, lifts itself some
thirty-five feet above the plain, and is
eighteen feet square. 1t is impossible
to ascertain the exact date of the con-
struction of this old building, for it was
not the first church erected there,
though it was doubtless built in the
seventeenth century. AS the site au-
thorities of James City for public houses,
some steps should be taken by the
country or State to preserve it from fur
ther demolition, and to prevent it from
ever passing under the absolute control
of private parties. The island is now
owned by New Yorker, and hence the
greater necessity for action in the
premises to pres srve this memorial of
the first settlement of Virginia.

A Successful Battle with a Deer.

Last Monday euening deer was run
off the mountain by some hunters.
Late in the evening the deer came in
the neighborhood of Decherd, pur-
sued by some hounds which were pretty
well run down. Mr.. Mike Madden,
finding it out, put his hounds, which
were fresh, in pursuit. The deer being
pretty well tagged, and fresh hounds in
pursuit, took refuge in the creek just
back of Mr.. Hockersmith's where he
fought the dogs off until Mr.. Madden
came up. He being bold and resolute
man. at once bulged in the creek and
laid hold of the deer, when a desperate
struggle ensued. The deer would drag
him out of the water and back again !;
but after long struggle, and in great
danger of getting badly hurt, he finally
killed him. The deer proved to be a
fine, large buck, with rather an extra rig
of horns. Winchester (7enn.) Jour-

Equestrian Exercise.

A taste for horseback riding is fast
gaining ground among our fair country
women, who are convinced that it is this
delightful exercise which plants such
vivid roses in the cheeks and brilliant
light in the eyes of their English cous-
ins. 1t is abundant fresh air, regular
exercise, and prescribed plain diet in
early youth, that creates the envied
English constitution, and now Dame
Fashion dresses the most tasteful riding
gear heart can wish, to aid the double
benefit of health and pleasure. The
riding habit may be composed of invisl-
ble-blue cloth, or entirely black; the
last is the most modish, perhaps. The
body is cut with short jockey basque,
closed to the throat with one row of
heavy cloth or silk buttons, or else
strapped across cadet fashion. The
sleeves are closely shaped to the arm,
without any other finish at the wrist
than a neat white linen cuff. The skirt
is a yard and half long, and three
yards and half wide. The hat is silk
stove-pipe, with slightly rolling brim.
Around the crown is twisted vail of
grenadine, or sweeping ostrich plume.

A Brief Temperance Lecture.

The Duke o. Orleans, the eldest son
of King Louis Philippe, was the inher-
itor of whatever rights his father could
transmit. He was noble young man
physically noble. His generous quail
ties had rendered him universally popu-
lar. One morning he invited few COM
panions to breakfast, as he was about to
take his departure from Paris to join his
regiment. In the convivialty of the
hour he drank little too much wine.
He did not become intoxicated-he was
not in any respect dissipated man his
character was lofty and noble-but in
that joyous hour he drank just one
glass too much. In taking the parting
glass, he slightly lost the balance of his
body and of his mind. Bidding adieu
to his companions, he entered his car
rage but for that one glass of wine he
would have alighted on his feet. His
head strack the pavement. Senseless
and bleeding, he was taken into beer
shop near by, and died. That extra
glass of vino overthrow the Orleans
dynasty, confscated their property OF
one hundred millions of dollars, and
sent the whole family into exile.

How Eggs are Matched.

People have an idea that the hen sits
on the eggs for time, and when the
time comes for Matching the chick bursts
forth. There never was a greater mis-
take. The chick, until liberated from
the shell by outside aid, is as incapa-
BILE of motion as if it formed solid egg,
which it nearly does. You might as
well inclose-a man in an iron boiler,
and tell him to get out of it without
help. The chick grows on the inside
of the shell, and bursts up a very
small scale. Of course when it does
this, it at the same time "breaks in
that spot the inside of the egg. This
admits the air; in a short time it
breathes and gets strength to cry loudly.
The hen then sets to work to hberate it:
she brings it forward under the feathers
OF the crop, and supporting it between
the breastbone and the nest, begins the
work of setting it free. She bitches the
point of her beak into the hole formed
by the raising of the scale by the
chicks beak, and breaks away the egg
skin or shell all around the greatest
diameter of the egg. The joint efforts
OF the hen without and the chick with
in then iberate the prisoner. and he
struggles into existence, and gets dry
under the feathers and the natural heat
of the hen. ALI female birds which sit
on their eggs to hatch them
have the hook in the beak strongly de-
veloped. Even the broad-billed duck
and goose have those hooks especially
developed, and with them they iberate
their young. In Australia, where
everything seems to be by contraries, it
is the cock of the bush-turkey that
matches the eggs, and not the hen. 1t
would be interesting to know whether
the hook of the beak is better adapted
for this service in the male bird than in
the female. The hook of the beak of
the ordinary cock of the common fowl
is quite different from that of the hen
it is adapted for wounding in fighting,
but not for Matching of eggs.
