Tho AlbntrosS.

Somebody who has been studying the
habits Of the albatross, largest Of tho
sea-blrds, In the South Atlantic, has
como to the conclusion that 1t feeds al
most entirely on dead fish, and Is a sort
| of marine vulture. Whom 1t Is feeding
on dead fish, 1t is so greedy that gun
discharged cannot make 1t fly. Like u
yulture or raven, itseems to know when
any creature is dying or dead, and I'm.
mense tlocks Of the birds will gather
when the carcass OF a sheep or beef or
horse Is thrown overheard. They ap-
pear to be able to SEQ and to scent car
rion for miles, and when 1t Is floating on
the ocean, they will come In clouds from
every point of the compass. They spend
the greater part of the year far away
from land; but they go to barren and
well-nigh inaccessible rocks to breed.
The female lays her soiled white egg on
the bare earth, the females often hatch
ing so close together that they seem to
have one nest In common. Then they
are perfectly Indifferent to the presence
OF man, ut whom they merely snap when
he invades their sanctuary. The male
albatross Is very gallant, sharing with
the female the labor Of incubation and
OF roaring the young, which, when fully
fledged, puts off to sea with Its parents,
and with them plays It's part of scaven-
ger Of the ocean. Many sailors arc still
superstitious about killing the albatross.

How to Have Perfect Feet.

Coarse stockings are taking the place
OF bathing shoes, that are always getting
full of sand however carefully tied.
They arc thought to be superior in
point Of modesty also, but this fastiti-
iousncss rises possibly from the fact
that so few women, even among the
young and handsome, preserve the
shape and elasticity of the feet. or
perfect hands and throats, and busts
there may be many and various, but
rarely indeed, doth the sculptor find a
foot like that of the Princess Pauline
Bonaparte, fit to be modelled In marble
for the delight OF all the world who
have seen 1t. If Angelica's foot were
as perfect In Its way as her dimplcd
shoulder. she might be rs liberal in her
display of the former rs she goes across
the shining sands to her bath in tho
m ornlng as she Is Of the latter, en-
grandc tenue, In the ballroom at
night. A clever writer says, to the
feet should DO given rs nice care as to
the hands, beginning with bath of
fifteen minutes in hot soap water, fol-
lowed by scraping with an ivory knife,
and rubbing 1t with ball Of sandstone. .
The nails may he left to take care of
themselves, with constant bathing and
we'll fitting shoes, unless they have be :
gun to grow into the flesh, when all to
be done Is to scrape a groove length-
wise in each corner Of tho nail. Tho
whole foot should be annointed with
purified olive oil, or oil Of sweet
almonds, after such bath. The oil
will soak off the old skin, and wear
away the scaly tissue about the nails,
while IT renders the soles as soft and
plant as those Of young child. Such
treatment persisted In will make the
foot as supple and elastic as the Arabs
and help to realize tbet high bred
ideal figure that so few. women even ap-
proaoii.

The Custer Battle Field.

On bright clear morning, two news
paper men accompanied Licutcnants
Clark and Pope, of the Second Cavalry
and Fifth Infantry; Jackson scout,
and two Of Sitting BULBS former braves
over the divide and down Custer's trail
beside a little stream to the battle
ground. This part of the trail had
never been traced since tho battle. In
going down the creek valley we passed
the spot where Custer first heard the
Indians were located, and saw the
lodge poles Of tho large village which
had moved two days before hc came
down to the Other side Of the Little
Horn river. Here I picked up the
skull OF Little Wing, an Uncapapa
Sioux Indian, who had been killed In
fight with General Crook, few days
previous to the Custer fight. He was
known to the Indians who guided lis,
and his death was described by them.
A little further OH we came to the
place where Custer left Reno and made
his long, wild charge that ended in a
glorious but disastrous death to him
and all his command. This trail we
followed for four Or five miles to
Kcogh s, Calhoun's and Cnstcr's hills.
where we found the bleaching bones IF
the men and horses Of the troop. Here
we Joined General Miles and the party
who had gone with him on his tcle-
graph trip two days before, and shortly
after the train and tho rest of tho COM
pany came up from the last camp on
Tullock's. BY two o'clock the tents
were pitched on the spot across the
Little Horn where tho largest portion
of the Sioux were encamped the day of
the fight, and the rest of the day was
spent in discussing tho massacre, bath
Ing in the river and taking rest. Next
morning the train nwas started down the
river to Fort Custer, and the party
mounted and rode up to the place
where Reno halted on his charge ::
thence to the wood where he rctreatcd |:
thence to the high hill east of the river
where he dug the rifle pits, was Joined
by Benteen and rescued by Terry the
day tafer sthe fight. From there all
rode along the ridge Of hills that over
looked the camp down to Custer's Hill,
and thus completed an exact study of
the field, aided by scouts and Indians
who took part on both sides during the
battle, and tho skilfu1 disqu,sltions of
veteran soldiers and Indian fighters.
After having done this we all rode
twelve miles down to Fort Custer, a
large post which has been recently
located at the junction Of the Big Horn
and Little Horn rivers. n

Al q recent meeting of the French
Biological Society, M. Delaunay read a
paper relative to the habitual use of
the right side Of the system in prefer
to the left. lie attributes the TACT to
the prcponderancc OF the left frontal
lobe Of the brain. Anatomists have
clearly proved the fact that the muscles
and nerves Of one side Of the body are
controlled by the section of the brain
on the opposite side. In considering
tho question whether this popularity
had any influence on the line an indi-
vidual takes in walking, NJ. Delau'1 y
mentioned an experiment he had !. :
Quently seen tried. In the park Of Yer
sailles Is large piece Of grass plot
known as the Tapis Vert. At it's edge
Is placed any person, young or old,
with the eyes bandaged, and they are
told to walk straight across, but the
feat has never been accomplished
After twenty or thirty steps, often less,
they begin to deviate, sometimes to the
left, but generally to the right, and in
variably end their course at some part
of one Of the sides. NJ. Dclaunay has
studied the influence of age, sex and
race on this popularity, and believes
he can establish the fact that healthy
adult men move spontaneously to the
right; while children under three, old
men and women seem to incline to the
left.

Coiored Glass Pictures. S.-The ancients
had most singular art Of forming
pictures with cUlorcd glass. 1t con-
sisted In laying together fibrcs of glass
Of various colors, fitted to each other
with the utmost cXactness, so that a
section across the fibre represented the
objects to be painted, and then cement
ing them by fusion into homogeneous
solid mass. In tho specimens Of this
art which were discovered about the
middle of the last century, the painting
has on both sides a granular appear
ance, and seems to have been formed in
the manner of mosaic work; but the
pieces are so accurately united that not
even by means of a powerful magnify
ing glass could the junctures he discov-
cred. One plate described by Winklc-
man exhibits duck of various colors,
the outlines Of which arc well decided
and sharp, the colors pure and vivid :;
and a brilliant effect has been obtained
by the artists having employed in some
parts al Opaque, and in others, q trans
parent glass. The picture appears to
be continued throughout the whole
thickness OF the specimen, rs the re-
verse corresponds in the minutest
points to the face; so that were the
glass to be cut transverscly, the same
picture of the duck would be found ex-
hiblted on every section. 1t Is conf jcct-
ured this curious process was the first
attempt of the ancients to preserve the
colors, by fusing them into the internal
part Of the glass; which was, however,
but partially done, rs the surfaces have
not been preserved from the action of
the atmosphere.

SCIENCE.

The Cedars Of Le6anon.-I visited the
cedars for the first time In the summer
OF 1850, and was struck by the Similar
ity of cedars to fir trees. A cedar iy in
fact nothing but big fir tree, of which
there are many species, all closely re-
lated to each other. Having been born
In fir tree country, and knowing that
those trees are not generally among
those which take many years to attain
their full size, conceived some doubts
as to any Of the cCdars, even the most
enormous, being rs old as Solomon's
time. But the next year | was able to
set that question at rest, to my satis-
faction at least, for must confess that
am not in any special sense botan-
ist. L revisited the ccdars In 1861, =,
and found one of the five or six prin-
cipal giants, at whose stupendOus pro-
portions | had wondered the year be-
fore, lying Oh the ground, having been
rooted out by the SHOWS and storms Of
the winter. Monks were busy saving
1t into pieces, and had already severed
from the trunk one Of the two nearly
equal stems into which iG branchcd at
about ten, certainly not more than
twenty feet from the ground. counted
the rings at that place, and to my sur
prise they were only two hundred or
thereabouts. confess 1t was difficult
for me to believe that that enormous
branch was only two hundred years
old; and if 1t was only that age, the
whole tree could not have been much
older, for fir trees, so far as am aware,
never grow new branches below older
ones; and when that branch was first
projected, ut twenty feet or less from
the ground, the tree could not have
been much moro than twenty years
old.
