Morning Call OF the Birds.
Virginia New Enterprise.

We once went to look at quartz
mine in Tuolumne county, Cal We
were the guest of a man who had follow
ed mining in that county, and who had
lived in the same cabin for more than
twenty years. He was his own cook,
and generally had no company except
his books, his dogs and the birds in the
neighborhood He had little garden
where he raised his vegetables, and
where he had flowers enough to supply
a first-class wedding or funeral. To
meet the stage at Tuttletown. a couple
of miles distant, it was necessary to get
up at 3 A. M. While going over the
the trail between the cabin and the ham
let, the miracle of the dawn was per-
formed. 1t was June morning, and as
we commenced the journey, the foliage
of the hills was all dark and the stars
above were bright as diamonds. But in
a little while some warm rays began to
bend over the hills from the east, the
green and scarlet of the hills began to
take color, and the far-off stars grew
less bright in their stately professions.
And then the mountains commenced to
grow resonant with the voices which
they held, and which awakened to hail
the approaching day Then our senten-
tious companion, as though kindled by
the same influence, opened his lips. He
was answering the call of the birds, and
his words ran something like this:
"Chirp, chirk, O my martin (the swal-
lows grandmother); as usual, you are
up first, the first to say good morning,
the first to hail the beautiful coming
day. All, there you are, Whistling, my
lovely quail, you beautifully eockaded
glory; and now, my mocking- bird, you
brown rascal with fiat nose. where do
you get all your voices? Heigho, you
are up, Mr. Jacob (woodpecker), up to
see it Mrs. Jacob is not stealing acorns
this morning you old miser of the woods
with your black and white clothes and
your thrift, which is worse than a Chi
naman's; and now my mourning dove
has commenced his daily drone, growl-
ing because breakfast is not ready, |
suppose. At last you have wakened up
Mrs. Lark; nice bird you are to claim
to be an early riser, but you have a
CHEEKY voice, nevertheless. There
comes curlew's cry from the river
shore, and now you are all awake and
singing, you noisy chatterers; and, final
ly, old night-raiding OWL you are saying
good night this morning, you burglar
of the woods" With such talk he went
on for half an hour, and many time
since have we wondered if by himself,
in the great hills and beneath the great
pines, with his books and dogs for com
pany, and with the chorus of innumera-
bic birds for his daily entertainment
whether, after ALL he was not as happy
as though among men he was struggling
for money or for fame.

Kit Bnrns, the Rat. Catcher.

1t is said of the late Kit Burns, Of
New York that, as a professional rat
catcher, he was the first in America. 1t
is further alleged by those who profess
unequivocal knowledge of the matter,
that the deceased Kit had amassed much
money in pursuit Of his unique vocation
He once made $500 out of one single
job IN the rat-catching line. One of the
first restaurants on Broadway had been
so badly infested by rats that the guam
tity OF provisions consumed or destroy
ed night and day was incredibly large.
The finest mousers were procured, but
they made no inroad upon the army of
rodents. In fact, cat after cat became
demoralized while the rats grew bolder,
and frequently put them to flight. Alone
in the restaurant one night, Kit survey
ed the situation, and declared it des-
perate one. The following night he set
his huge cage close to an advantageous
aperture. A small dim lamp on the
shelf above him was the only light in
the place. He lay above the great cage
with the string of the main trap in his
hand. His object was to catch the
king" rat, and then the work was easy.
They all follow the king Rat after rat
came to the cage, nibbled the bait and
ran back to the hole. There seemed to
have been perfect understanding about
the matter before his majesty ventured
forth. When he did, Kit knew him, for
the king rat is an enormous, shaggy
specimen, with great bristles growing
out of his bod y-and down snapped the
trap. Now the rest were guideless and
wholly at the mercy Of the rat catcher
Kit then fastened the king so as to Sc
cure his presence in the cage, and when
the trap was again raised scores upon
scores Of rats filed the cage. 1t could
hold no more; but when the subjects
found themselves captured they fell up
on the king and nearly tore him to
pieces After that, Kit easily secured
the rest of the varmints, and was paid
$500.

Hints on the Care of the Eyes.

There are, perhaps, more individuals
who ascribe their weakness Of sight to a
use of their eyes under an insufficient
artificial illumination than to any other
one cause. In great many instances
this may not be strictly true, but there
can be no doubt that faulty artificial
light is one of the most productive
causes of certain class of injuries to
which the eyes can be exposed The
two sources of trouble with the ordinary
artificial lights are-frst, that they are
not pure white, and secondly, that they
are unsteady. The first defect is found
in all artificial lights except the lime,
electric and magnesium lights; the see
ond especially in candles and gas. The
yellowness is, in measure, counteract
ed by using, in the case of lamps and
gas, chimneys of q violet or blue tint,
and the Pickering of the gas may be OBJ
waited largely by employing an Argand
burner. All things considered, Ger
man student-lamp furnishes the most
satisfactory light The next best is gas
with an Argand burner The chimneys
of both may, as above suggested, be ad-
vantageously of light blue tint.
The position of the light in relation
to the body is OF great Importance. 1t
shade is used on the lamp or burner
Git should, by preference, be of ground
or milk glass, never of colored glass;,
the light may stand directly in front of
the body and the work be allowed to lie
in the light under the shade, which will
protect the eyes from the glare of the
flame. If no shade is used the back
should be turned to the source of light.
which ought to fall over the left shoul-
der. The same rule applies in the man.
agement of daylight. In this case the
light should come from behind and
slightly above, and fall directly on the
work, whence it is reflected to the eye.
1t ought never to fall directly in the
face.
The light in the room during sleep is
also not without its influence. AS arule
the room during sleeping hours should
be dark; and, in particular care should
be taken to avoid sleeping opposite a
window where on opening the eyes in
the morning, strong food of light will
fall on them Even the strongest eyes
are, after the repose of the night, more
or less sensitive to the impression of in
tense light. The eyes must have time
to accustom themselves to the stimu-
lus.
Attention should be called to the in
furious effects that sometimes follow
reading on railroad cars. On account of
the unsteadiness of the page, reading
under these circumstances is exceeding
ly trying to the eyes, and should never
be persisted in for any considerable
length of time.
During convalescence from severe i'll
ness the eyes are generally the last to
regain their lost power. Especially is
this the case with women after child
birth, and too much care cannot be tax
en- to put as little strain upon the eyes
as possible at this time-Dr. Burnett

DealMOOd Death.
Cincinnati Enquirer Correspondence

Cincinnati Enquirer Correspondence.
AS | was resting in camp on the
outskirts of Deadwood, a jolly-faced
man came along and asked for a job.
He was told that every man was work
ing for himself. and making mighty poor
wages at that, when he replied:
Gentlemen, | havn't had one good
meal in three weeks; | havn't been able
to get day work; I'm dead broke, and
the curtain is going to ring down on this
tragedy right here and right now!''
He stepped around the fire, pulled a
revolver from miners belt, and then
retreating back pace or two, he said
Gentlemen, I'm going to hell! I've
starved around the Black Hills for three
months, and if there is any bigger hell
than this I'm envious to see it. Excuse
me for wasting ammunition, but here |
go'-crack!
He put the muzzle of the revolver to
his forehead and never kicked after the
report. No man rose up to restrain
him. After few minutes the owner of
the revolver walked over and secured it,
and as he wiped spot of blood off the
barrel he growled out:
Blast his eyes! Why didn t he jump
over some cliff, or go out and let the In
dians tickle him to DEATH

THE Sewers.

'All seed is in the sewers hands" ."-ROssetti
Ten thousand sewers through the land
Passed needless on their way;
Ten thousand seeds in every hand
OF every sort had they.
They cast seed here. they cast seed there,
They cast seed everywhere.
The land forest straightway grew,
With plants of every kind;
And kindly fruits, and poisonous too,
In that wood could you find;
For trees grew here, and trees grew there,
And trees grew everywhere.
Anon, as many year went by,
Those sewers came once more,
And wandered meath the leaf-hid sky,
And wondered at the store;
For fruit hung here, and fruit hung there,
And fruit hung everywhere.
Then plucked they many a berry bright;
None could their right deny;
And some ate to their long delight
And some ate but to die;
While some plucked here, some plucked there
And some plucked everywhere.
Nor knew they in that tangled wood
The trees that were their own;
Yet as they plucked as each one should,
Each plucked what he had sOwn.
So do men here, so do men there,
So do men everywhere.
-TinSley'S Mdgdzine.

BARTLETT VS.. THE Town OF KTTTERY.-The
case of George E. Bartlett against the town of
Kittery, just finished in the S. j. Court at
Alfred, has attracted considerable attention, on
account of the number Of witnesses introduced
and the novel character of the case 1t is new
case in our courts ii many respects. The plain.
tiff sought to recover for personal injuries
received, by reason of his horse taking fright
at cylindrical boiler designed for the United
States ship Enterprise, and being transported
from the depot in Kittery to the Navy Yard on
the 22d of June, 1875. The boiler was left
over night on the highway, just outside the
travelled part, but actually about the centre of
he highway as measured from fence to fence.
Between and o'clock a. N. the plaintiff,
while on his way to Portsmouth from Eliot,
arrived near the boiler at the same time with a
train of cars, alighted from his carriage, took
his horse by the head and attempted to lead
him by the boiler after the train had passed.
While doing so he was thrown to the ground
by his horse breaking away and injured by his
carriage running over him. The evidence was
that he attempted to pass on the untravelled part
of the highway, while the travelled part was
about % feet wide and unobstructed. There
was no team attached to the trucks on which
the boiler rested, but an employe was presen,
at the time of the accident. The defence was
that there was no defect for which the town
Yves liable; no notice sufficient to charge the
town; the vicious character of the horse an6
his fright from the passing train contributing
cause of the accident The verdict was for the
town.
Moses A. Stafford of Kittery and Ira 7. Drew
ably managed the case for the town, and B.
Poole of Boston and 6. G. Yeaton equally Sc
for the plaintiff. The case will be carried
to the full court on exceptions.
