The Reindeer.

THE eyes of the reindeer are very
quick, and his hearing also acute; but
his sense of smell is more wonderfully
developed than either of the other
senses. The cariboo, or American va
riety of the reindeer, is a large animal,
measuring three feet six inches in
height at the shoulders when adult
Although it is specifically identical with
the European reindeer, it has never yet
been brought under the sway of man,
and trained to carry his goods or draw
his sledges. Should it be employed
for these purposes, it would be most
valuable servant, for it is a very strong
as well as an enduring animal, leading
its pursuers a chase of four or five days,
and often eventually making good its
escape. Whenever practicable, the carl
boo makes for the frozen surface of the
lakes, and is then sure to escape, al
though the manner of doing so is ludic-
rously clumsy. Rushing recklessly
forward, the cariboo will be suddenly
startled by some object in its front; and
on attempting to check its onward ca
reer, falls on the ice in sitting post
ure, and in that attitude slides for con-
siderable distance before it can stop it.
self. Recovering it's feet, it then makes
off in another direction, and gets over
the ground with such CELEBRITY, that the
hunters always yield the chase when
ever the animal gets upon the ice.

ORANGE trees bear in eight years at
the earliest. But this year seeding
five inches high and three months old
had one blossom of full fragrance.
The owner, at Marysville, Cal, is care
fully nursing it. 1t is hoped that
new variety of early fruiting orange
trees may thus be obtained. California
oranges are of poor quality. We want
a sweet orange if the climate will raise
that kind. Tea planting is now inaug-
urated at San Diego, under the erro-
neous impression generally prevailing
that tea requires hot climate and low
land. A worse place than San Diego
cannot be found. The plant is very
hardy. The best tea of India comes
from Darpeling well up in the Hima-
laya Mountains, where snow lies sixty
days in winter. Any of the foothills
of our snowy Nevadas will grow tea.
But the price of labor is against sue
cess. 1t will not thrive and bear pluck
ing without three waterings in summer.
1t is uncertain whether the plant, in
this climate, yields theme, which gives
to the infusions of its prepared leaves
the distinctive flavor that makes it pop
ular. Experts say not.-SGn Francisco

The Periured Witness.

THE late David Paul Brown, of Phil
adelphia, was famous among his broth
er lawyers for his skill in manipulating
witness whose veracity he suspected.
Nothing, apparently, could be farther
removed from buil-dozing" than his
courtly politeness. Yet the wretched
perjurer who fell into his hands had
better have borne the whips of the
Furies than the gentle inquiries Of the
courteous old lawyer.
A notable instance of this occurred
in will case, where the property in
volved was large. Mr. Brown was en-
gagged on behalf of the rightful heirs.
The will, which he hoped to prove
was n forgery, was executed the day
before the testator's death, and by it
the whole estate was left to a tricky at
torney.
For some time the case for the right
full heirs seemed hopeless. A shrewd

"Ah? He was scarcely strong

THE following sketch narrates how
the editor of the Harrisburg telegram
waxed charitable in behalf of an old
lady who had never eaten a strawberry:
This morning in front of the Court
House, a number of stands were occu-
pied by strawberry hucksters. In front
of one of these stands, kept by comely
colored woman, an old lady was seen
wistfully gazing at the great red ber-
ries. blushing in their lusciousness as
they tempted passers to buy. The old
lady, poorly clad, her head covered
with dilapidated hat, from beneath
which her thin gray locks struggled in
unkempt slovenliness, steadily gazed at
the berries, "Dis am nice morning" in
forminglv spoke the huckster; "does yer
want to buy?" The old woman seemed
not to hear. At last, in Il squeakish
voice she asked: ''Are these them things
they call strawberries? ''Dey is" said
the huckster. "Well, now, is it SOP"
exclaimed the old woman; I'm nearly
seventy-eight years old and never ate
strawberry. And these are strawber-
ries," said she, looking at them with a
longing eye and a watery mouth.
You nebber eat a strawberry"
shouted the huckster, gazing at the old
woman with Il mingled look of pity and
establishment. "Lah, mel" continued
the African, then turning on her white
sister in pity: "You nebber eat straw
berry," as she picked up box to ar
range the big berries on top, looking
piteously at the poor old wretch, and
we then concluded that the African in
tended to do a noble thing for the en-
! ioyment of the Caucasian, but she
said: "You say you nebber eat straw
berry? Well, l clare, aunty, at your
time of life, | doesn't tink de berry
would stay on yer stomach; dey am
kinder movin' when people nebber
once in der life eat one," and the hard
| hearted huckster placed the box we
suppose she wanted to bestow on the
old woman back to the table again.
We couldn't stand it. Diving into our
pocket for a ten-cent piece we had
slowed away for a package of LOrillard,
we purchased box of berries and
poured them into the cid woman s
'kerchief; and as we did it, she turned
her mild eyes upon us with a gaze that
told us she had looked upon better times
and fairer scenes. And as we walked
away, the wench who sold the berries,
encouragingly told the old woman,
"You was lucky to come to my stand,
aunty, cause gemmen alters buy dar
berries here"
Nearly eighty years old, and never
eat strawberry! This is funny world =;
and here we are put to learn how to get
to Heaven; in the lessons of which
knowledge we are taught that the earth
is the Lords and the fullness thereof;
and still one of His children lived to be
eighty years old and never ate straw
berry We incline to the wench's idea
that berries will prove "kinder moyin'
when people who nebber eat one Just
get EN- if they wait until they are
eighty years old.

THE mechanism of the improvements
of the tiying-fsh through the air has
been described with much detail by
Prof. Moebius, of Kiel, who concludes,
from the observations of those who have
published on the subject and his own,
that the hying-fish dart from the water
with great speed without reference to
the course of the wind and waves. They
make no regular flying motions with
their pectoral and vcntral fins, but
spread them out quietly, though very
rapid vibrations can be seen in the out
stretched pectoral fins. The hinder
part of the body, while the fish moves
in the air, hangs somewhat lower than
the forepart of the body. They usually
fly farther against the wind than with
it, or if their track and the direction of
the wind form an angle. Most flying
fish which fly against or with the wind
continue in their whole course of flight
in the same direction in which they
come out of the water. Winds which
blow from one side on to the original
track of the fish bend their course in
ward. All fish which are at distance
from the vessel hover in their whole
course in the air near the surface of the
water. If in strong winds they fly
against the course of the waves, then
they fly little higher; sometimes they
cut with the tail into the crest of the
same. Only such tlying-fsh rise to a
considerable height Cat the highest, by
chance, five meters above the surface
Of the sea), whose course in the air be-
comes INSTRUCTED by a vessel. In the
daylight tlying-tish seldom fall on the
deck of the ship, but mostly in the
night; never in u calm, but only when
the wind blows. For the most part
they fall on ships which do not rise
higher than two or three yards above
the water, when they are sailing on the
wind, or with half wind, and are max
ing a good course. Flying-fsh never
come on board from the lee side, but
only on the windward side. Before
vessels which pass between their swim
ming schools the fish fly into the air as
before predaceous fish or cetaceous. -
