Hints About Celery-Raising.
Correspondent Western Rural.

Celery is believed by man to have a
soothing effect upon the nerves. IL Is,
at any rate, an excellent relish for those
who have acquired taste for it, snd
its use is rapidly extending. 1t is
little more difficult To grow in perfect

have considered, but believe it eau be

The Birds of Paradise.

The Jardin cclimatation, Paris
has Just received some living speci-
mems of the bird of paradise, which
it has hitherto been found rarely pos
sible to bring alive to Europe. This
bird is native of New Guinea, the
inhabitants Of which country endeav-
or to keep up the fable relative to
these specimens Of the feathered tribe,
by persuadirg the Indian merchants
to whom they sell them that they
have no feet, and that, as they live
on air and light, they have neither
stomach nor intestines. That belief
was encouraged by the form given by
the Papuan naturalists or dealers to
prepare them for sale, by drying the
bird with its plumes after taking out
the inside and tearing off the legs. 1t
is rarely found excepting in the coun-
tries which produce spices, and par
ticularly in Australasia. New Gui-
nea, which is comprised in that part
Of the world, and the Aroo Islands
near, contain many specimens. The
pineapple and nutmegtree grow there
in the midst of immense forests, and
supply Their principal food. The
Papuans, barbarians as they are, de-
rive considerable profit from the sale
OF the bird, and take it with nets or
sticks smeared with birdlime, In the
latter case they take it alive, but as
1t is very difficult to preserve, they
prefer to use the bow and arrow. The
manner in which this chase is carried
on is very curious. The men climb
silently in the dark like cats into the
trees in which the bird sleeps, pass
the night in the forks of the branches
and at day bread shoot at the birds
while they are still asleep, with very
light arrows made from the ribs OF
leaves of the palm tree, Their ad-
dress is so marvellous that the bird
generally falls to the ground intact,
stunned rather than wounded. The
men continue as long as they can. and
then descend to the ground and pro.
oeed to the preparation and embalm-
ing of their victims. The Malays oi
Malacca are the chief purchasers oi
the birds, which they carry to the
Molucca Isles, whence they are sent
to India, China and Europe.
