Harvester two seasons, and have cut 300
acres, and only used two horses at any

l consider the draft as light as any
Harvester know of, and it is superior to
any Harvester for cutting and elevating
grain. My boy 10 years old drove it..
My boys say they would rather bind on
the Edward than the Marsh, as they have
worked on both. Last season We gather
ed IN the binders box over one bushel Of
shelled oats to the acre that we famed in

the bundles-enough to seed the ground.

Nest.Hiders.

The little spot of land rising in the
South Seas called Ysabel Isle is divided
among several savage tribes that are con.
tinually at war with each other. A ter
rlblc massacre occurring in a portion of
the island named Mahaga,' the sufferers
adopted, as a means of defense against fu-
tnre surprises Of similarly unpleasant
nature, the custom Of sleeping in houses
built in high trees, though living by day
IN the ordinary open bamboo huts. When
the Rev. Coleridge Patteson, Bishop of
the Melanesian Islands, visited Malaga,
he was very curious to inspect these hui
man nests in the SUBMITS of the Hottest
palms. They were situated in swamp,
that for greater safety was surrounded
BY strong wall. The lower boughs of
the trees selected for habitation had been
Topped off, leaving only the highest as a
platform for the houses. A plumb-line
let down from the veranda Of one of these
houses to the ground showed the distance
to be 81 feet.
The ladders reaching up to the houses
were planted upon the top Of the wall.
They consisted of bamboo pole in the
centre, to which cross-pieces about TWO
feet long we're dashed by vines. To
steady these, and also to hold on by,
there were double sets of plant vine
stems stretched along the whole length.
One ladder was found to measure 60 feet.
Another so feet, had forty.two rounds
or cross.pieces, at unequal distances
apart. Up and down these dizzy ladders
the native men, women and children ran
like monkeys. never using their hands,
but trusting entirely to the sure planting
of their feet. At first the Bishop dared
not attempt an ascent, and while he stood
wondering at the fearlessness of the
climbers he saw woman so up with a
heavy burden on her back as;if it was the
easiest thing in the world, and not once
in the company Of the Bishop, who was
perfectly at home in the shrouds of ship,
assembled one of the ladders, and when he
came down confessed: Il was so afraid
my legs shook. Going aloft is nothing to
it." At another time the Bishop himself
managed to reach one Of the arboreal
huts. He found it in an inexpressibly
filthy condition. The floor was made OF
matted bamboo, and measured % feet by
IL feet, and the roof and sides were OF
palm-lcaf thatch. The roof was low, and
there were no apertures for air and
light. Everything was grimy with SCOT
and dirt, while the noise Of squalling ba.
bies, the singing and scolding of women
and the chatter Of all the natives toge1h
er. made the place a very pande1nonium
a brief stay in the wonderful nest con
WINGED the Bishop that it was much more
comfortable to sleep in hut on the
ground, where during the night the sing
ing and squalling of the women and babie!
above him sounded as if they were in thu
clouds.

LIGHT.
By F. VI. BoURD1LLoN.

The night has a thousand eyes,

Yet the light Of the bright world dies
With the dying sun.
The mind has a thousand eyes,

Yet the light of q whole life dies
When love is done.

Public School Buildings.

Far too little thought is given by parents to the physical conditions to which children are subjected in the schools to which they arc sent. Every body makes some personal effort to regulate the temperature of his domicile, to keep it as warm as need be, and to keep the air pure if he happens to know the importance of pure air. People in offices concern themselves as to the state of the rooms they pass the day in and workmen in the factories give the same subject perhaps undue attention. Yet all send their boys and girls to the pub lie schools and for five or six hours day leave those in whose welfare they have the tenderest interest exposed to the mercies of the indifferent servants of an indifferent corporation. It is to be hoped that picture presented by a school examiner in one school during the winter of the roasting stove in one part of the room and the freezing open windows in another will call attention to the subject sufficiently to induce some pressure of public opinion upon the proper authorities.

A German Breakfast Table.

There is no family breakfast table where sons and daughters gather round the board. We look in vain for the damask table-cloth, the steaming urn, the symmetrical, arrangements of plate and china, that welcome us in the mid dle-class English household. No trim girls in bright cotton or well-cut home spun gowns; no young men, whose fresh faces tell of tubs and Turkish towels, are here to greet us. There may be a linen cloth upon the table (though even this detail is far from general), and there will he coffee-pot, and milk-jug and sugar-basin, set down anyhow anywhere; basket, either of wicker or Japan, piled up with fresh .Semsm,elen, perhaps stray plate or two; disorderly group of cups of different colors and designs ; no butter; no knives and forks; possibly plate with few milk-rolls, of some what finer flour than the ordinary; and the breakfast equipage is complete. The first conner will help her or himself to coffee and rolls, propably eating and drinking like peripatetic philosophers, for there is no inducement to "sit down and make yourself comfortable. If it be winter time, the coffee-pot and milk jug will be placed on the stove instead of on the table; and the next conner will go through the same formula of solitary feeding, departing, as the case may be-, for the enjoyment of the post-prandial cigar, or to supplement the somewhat scantily represented mysteries of the toilet" The last conner will enjoy the dregs of the coffee-pot and the drains of the milk-jug on an oil-cloth cover or crumpled table-cloth, stopped with the srrplusage of successive coffee-cups, and besprinkled with the crumbs of consumed rolls

Something About Salmon.

Each adult female salmon lays from eight hundred to one thousand eggs to every pound of her weight. The eyes of the fish appear in about forty or fifty days; these may be perceived as two small blach specks; and in another three or four days, faint red line is appar- ent, running round the interior of one side of the egg, and in the center a small red globule appears. Gradually the faint indications of life within the semi transparent shell become more marked till, about twenty days after the first ap- pearance of the eggs, the fish bursts its prison. It now presents most Judi crous appearance, with the lower side of it's slender transparent body affixed to an oval sac which it carries wherever it goes. The vital organs of the fish can be distinctly seen; the pulsations of the heart are easily perceptble; and the rapid vibrations of the gills show that it is, for the first time, breathing just 'as an adult fish breathee. The empty "shells as they float about in water, showing the rent by which the young fish breaks it's prison-bonds, now appear like little bits of India-rubber air-balls, or portions of the white mem7 brane found just inside the shell of g hens egg. .. .,.'
 A double-headed creature is of ire quent occurrence in family of baby salmon, but these enormites seldom survive more than three or four days, though instances have been met with of a longer term of existence being grant ed to these monsters. e.
 For some time after birth, the young fioh ID ,o& &0 fo 0fs c they are exceedingly active, and, though burdened with the umbilical vesicle, they swim swiftly about, raising for Q few seconds, and suddenly falling again to the bottom of the stream; they are unable to rest without touching the gravel. ''A
 The young fry do not require any food for some time to come. The con- tents of the sac they bear about with them serves as food for the first six weeks of the salmon's life. The poor little fish has no mother to nurse it, so nature has provided it with commis- sariat of it's own. The vesicle or sac contains an albuminous. secretion simi- lar to white of egg, and small globule of oil, the whole of which are gradually absorbed into the system. After six weeks of this self-sustaining process have elapsed, the outer skin of the bag ap- pears to diminish in size, as the body of the fish increases, and in due course the fry appears as 8 complete miniature of an adult salmon. ,.se 9.t..v -7
 The fins and even the scales, are now fully apparent. The gills can easily be perceived. The eye-that first sign of life in the egg ten weeks ago-is com pletely developed; while a slight red spot under the pectoral fins is the only sign of the late symbol of babyhood.
