The Arrie,

The great egg bird of the North sea is
the arrie, while its southern cousin sup
plies the people of San Francisco with 8
liberal quantity of its gayly-colored eggs
taken from the Farallons; indeed, the
arrie is the only sea-biTd of real economic
value TO man throughout our whole
northwest and north. It is probably
safe to say that the numbers OF these
birds which assemble at st. George are
vastly greater than elsewhere on the
globe. Az a faint but truthful stste-
ment of the existing fact, the following
NAV be said: When the females begin
TO squat continuously over their eggs,
slong by the end of June and the first Of
July, the males regularly relieve them,
taking turns in keeping the eggs warm.
Thus they feed alternately, going out to
sea for that purpose. This constant going
out and coming in during the day gives
rise. At regular hours in the morning and
evening, to a dark girdle OF these birds
living lust above the water, around
and around the island, in an endless
chain of more than a quarter of mile
broad and thirty miles In length! This
zseat belt of flying arries represents just
one-half of the number of these birds
breeding on the cliffs, for only those arries
are in the circling column that are OF,
or relieved by their mates for the day
from the duty Of incubation.

The Black Death.

A letter from st. Petersburg says of
the plague in Russia: It has spread in
the southern provinces at a rapid rate,
and thousands upon thousands have died
with it in the last five days. The vic
Tins when taken live only about two
hours and turn black all over as a negro.
All the physicians that were ordered to
take charge of the sick have died within
twenty-four hours after their arrival.
The corpses are burned and so are the
houses in which they die. Whole towns
have been laid in waste in the past few
days, and the government has placed
Gordon of soldiers around the infected
provinces SO that the people cannot get
out and spread the disease, and any who
attempt 70 break through the Gordon are
shot dead on the spot. The people are
beginning to feel uneasy all over the
empire, but the government, of course,
does not allow the news to get out, and all
reports are suppressed; but the worst of
all is nobody can get out of the empire.
The Austrian and German governments
have placed double Gordon of soldiers
along all the frontiers, preventing all
persons from entering their territory
from Russia. All persons from Russia
by railroad are stopped at the frontier

Their baggage and clothing are disin-
fected, and if they prove all right after
q lapse of twenty days, they are permit
ted to cross the border. During the
twenty days quarantine the people are
housed in large sheds and barns, without
any accommodations or comforts. OF
course a knowledge of this fact keeps
people from travelling. There is no pos
sibility of slipping out anywhere. The
government is doing all in its power to
prevent the disease from spreading, but
if it is not stayed soon their victims may
fall by thousands daily. It is much
worse than the yellow fever was in the
south last summer. 1t was brought here
by q Tartan soldier q month ago, who,
OF leaving Turkish territory, pulled of
from the body of a dead Turk on the
battlefield handsome silk shawl, which
he tied around his body. On arriving
in his native town he presented the
shawl to his sweetheart--a young lady
about nineteen years of age. She tied
it arouud her body and danced about for
Joy in a room in which were some
twenty-five people. In two hours she
died; and in five hours after the intro
duction of the shawl into the room the
whole party of twenty-five had died-all
turning black. In three days the whole
town, containing eleven hundred people,
had died, with the exception Of forty
three persons who had fed in time. From
this town the pest commenced spreading

How We Take Colds.

The following good advice should be
read by all men and women, especially
the latter, who are more subject to colds
than the sterner sex. SAYS DR.. Robin
son, of the Bellevue hospital, New York
city. eff you start to walk home from
a downtown ofnce," he said, "and carry
your overcoat on your arm because the
walking makes you feel warm, you are
liable to take cold. Therefore don't do
it. If you should take the same walk
after eating a hearty dinner your full
stomach would be a protection to you,
but even then my advice would be, don't
take the risk. A person properly clothed
may walk in q strong wind for 8 long
time without taking cold, but if he sits
in a room where there is slight dTaught
he may take q severe cold in a very few
minutes. Therefore don't sit in a room
where there is draught. Unless you
are affected by peculiar nervous condi-
tion, you should take cold sponge bath
in the morning, and not wash yOursef in
warm water.
Plunge baths in cold water are notrec-
commended, neither is it necessary to
apply the sponge bath all over the body.
Occasional Turkish baths are good, but
those who have not taken them should
be advised by physician before trying
them. Warm muEers worn about the
neck do not protect you from catching
cold, but on the contrary, render you
extremely liable to take cold as soon as
you take them of. They make the
throat tender. Ladies ought TO wear
warmer flannel underclothing than they
now do if one may judge from the articles
one sees hanging in the shoW-WindoWs Of
the shops. People take cold from inhaI-
ing cold air through their mouth Oftener,
perhaps than by any other way. Ladies
dress themselves up in heavy furs, 60
riding in their carriages, and, when they
get home, wonder how they got that
cold. 1t was by talking In the cold open
air, and thus exposing the mucUous
membranes of the throat. The best
protection under such circumstances was
to keep the mouth shut. If people must
keep their mouths open in chilly at
mospheTe, they ought to wear filter.
Above all, be careful Of your Sfeetlin
cold, damp weather. Have thIck Isoes
on YOUR shoes, and if caught out In q
rain which lasts 50 long as to wet through
your shoes despite the thick soles, put on
dry stockings as soon as you get home.
But in cold. wet, slushy weather, do MT
be caught out without oveTshoes. Rub
bers are unhealthy, unless care is taken
to remove them as soon as you get under
shelter. 3 They arrest all evaporation
through the pores of the leather. Cork
soles are a good invention. When you
90 into the house or your Office stteI
| being out in the cold, don't go at once
and stick yourself by the register, but
take of your cost, walk up and dowI
the room 8 little, and get warm grsdu
ally. Warming yourself up over {
register just before going out in ths
cold is one of the worst things you car
do. Never take a hot toddy to WsrE
yourself up unless you are at home anC
don't expect to 60 out of the hous'
again until the following morning. Il
short, make use of your common sense
and thus emulate the lower animals"

the cotton worm comes is a native of
the West Indies, and that it moves from

1t is also stated that the expense OF kills

appears on the young plant, as it can
not do great harm to the plant, in the
later stages of its growth.

PRESIDENT BARTLETT selects one in
Cident from the massacre, the killing
OF an aged Indian woman, as especially
disgraceful. "This is a piece of army
gallantry," he says, Z" that would be
greatly relieved by some adequate expla.
nation. The seven hits on one person
prove the victim to have been a good
mark near at hand. No doubt her sixty
years made her slow of foot. Her
'squaw's' attire would have indicated
the attack to be perfectly SAFE" The

President Bartlett ask: "a Did the same
soldier bring down his victim at the
first fire, and then empty seven other
chambers upon her PROSTATE frame as
he would crush a snake Or did six
comrades finish the manly work. Or
did the whole seven overtake her as she
