Birds-Of- paradise.

The birds of New Guinea present q
larger proportion of brilliantly plu1A
aged species than those of any osk,e1
part Of the world. To this result tbe
birds. Of Paradise greatly contribute.
OF this family twenty-four species are
known, all confined to the Papuan Is.
lands, with single exception-a Man.
ucodia-which has extended its range to
North Australia, and which is without
the characteristic plumes of the true
Paradise birds. Whether for singularity
or beauty of plumage, the birds of Para.
disc are without rivals in the bird
world.
Most of them have superb tufts of
feathers issuing, not from the wings.
but from each side of the body, forming
sometimes wavy, silky plumes Of consid-
eral lie thick ess, sometimes fans which
spreaG on each side of the breast, some
times shields or long trains behind the
wings, while the centre tail feathers are
often produced to great length, elong-
ated into wires, twisted into fantastic
shapes, or terminated by lustrous spat.
ules, and all adorned with the most
brilliant metallic tints.
In others, instead of tufts from the
sides of the body, the accessory plumes
spring from the head, the back, or the
shoulders, while in the species which
stray into North Australia these pecul.
iarities are absent. There is scarcely
hue among the colors of nature which
is not found in the endless variety of
the paintings of the Paradise birds;
n OF only the lustrous metallic tints of
the humming- but yellows, reds,
blues and green's, of every degree of in
tensity.
Yet these fantastic freaks of colora.
ton and feathering are confined to tina
males; the females are all clad II W
most sober browns, and are the mos
unattractive OF birds. Doubtless this
provision of nature is intended as
protection from observation during the
incessant labors of the nesting season.
Strange notions formerly prevailed
among the vulgar as to the birds-of-
Paradise. AS until recently no Euro
pean has been able to observe them in
life, all our specimens were supplied
by the natives, who always cut off the
legs from the skins, on which account
they were reputed to be without feet,
whence the name of the best-known
species. Peculiar and strange as are
these creatures, yet there can be no
doubt that their nearest allies in nature
are a family marked by an extreme uni
formity and sombreness of plumage,
and by the absence of any difference of
celebration in the sexes-the crow tribe,
between which and the starlings the
Paradise birds are naturally placed.

AN INTERESTING observation-disclosures
time since an order was issued by the
Sultan for removing the old walls and
Notifications of Jaffa (Joppa). In cut
ting gate through water battery at
an angle of the sea wall built by Yes
pasian, and directly in front of the re-
puted house of Simon the tanner, the
men came on three oval-shaped tanners
watts, hewn out of the natural rock and
lined with Roman cement, down very
near the sea, and similar in every re-
spect to those in use eighteen centuries
ago. There is also fresh-water spring
flowing from the cliffs close by, long
known as the town spring. This dis.
covery at least proves that the house
on the rocky bluff above, and from
which steps lead down to the watts must
have belonged to some tanner and, as
perhaps not more than one of that trade
would be living in SO small place as
Jaffa, some probability is given to the
tradition that this is the identical spot
where the house of Simon stood with
whom Peter was sojourning when he
saw his vision.

Selecting Meats,

In selecting beef to roast, if it be for
small family, the rib is by far the best
and most tender cut have some of the
bone removed; then make your butcher
skewer the beef. The best beefsteak
for boiling is porter-house. The best
beef for la mode is the round have
the bone removed and trim off all the
gristle. For corned beef, the round is
also the best. For mutton roast, choose
the shoulder, the saddle, or the loin or
haunch. The leg should be boiled.
Small rib chops are best for boiling ;
those cut out from the leg are generally
tough. Mutton outlets to bake are
taken from the neck. For roast beef,
the loin, breast or shoulder is good.
Veal chops are best for frying; outlets
are more apt to be tough. In selecting
beef, take that which has loose grain,
easily yielding to pressure, of dark
red color, smooth, and whitish fat il
the lean is purpleish and the fat is yell
low, it is poor beef. Grass fed is the
lightest, OK the best, and next heifer.
Perhaps the incest mutton roast is a
small leg, the bone taken out and the
cavity stuffed with forced meat. The
best beef roast is (for three) about two
and a half or three pounds of porter
house. Sirloin ranks next. A rump
roast is very nice. Two or three pounds
is great plenty for three. In chops,
that from the hind leg of mutton is best,
unless you can get a meaty" sirloin.
The same in pork; about one and
quarter to one and half pounds is
sufficient beef steak, about the same
quantity. Porter house is cheaper than
sirloin, having less bone. Rump steak
and round, if we'll pounded to make
them tender, have the best flavor.

Colorado.

Senator Chaffee,. of Colorado, gives q
glowing account of the prospects of the
lusty young commonwealth that sits
astride of the backbone of the cont.
nent. He says, as to business "Since
the panic it has been quiet there, as
in the East, but the last year has seen
a great change. The State is filling
up and developing rapidly. In Denver,
where it has been comparatively dull
for few years, there is not, at the
present time, a house to be had for love
or money. The city, which has pop
ulation of $4,000, is crowded with men
coming into the State to settle or to
seek investments, and with tourists.
There have been 10000 people there
this summer, seeking health and pleas
ure, who have scattered over the State.
Railroad building is going on extens-
lively. There are 1000 men at work ex-
tending the Denver and Rio Grande
road at the present time, besides other
road building, There is no State in
the Union that has brighter prospect
before it than Colorado. The mining
interests have developed greatly within
short time. It is the third State in
gold and silver production, the yield
having increased from $3,7S5, 600 in
1872 to 1885, 2S3 in 1877 for 1873 it
will be $10,000,0OO. With the rapid
development in mining made within a
few months, it stands in fair way of
outstripping all other States in the
race. Its mineral resources outside of
gold and silver are very extensive.
Iron and coal are found in abundance.
It will be in the future greater iron
State than Pennsylvania. Important
discoveries have been made in Silver
Cliff and Leadville recently. Lead

depopulated, but an impulse has re-

FRENCH OR ENGLIsH.-There is sort
of mania, at least in fashionable circles,
in this country, TO initiate the French.
When some nabob in society gives a
dinner party the bills of fare must be
printed in French, as though it gave q
tone to the affair that would be lacking
were the bills printed in the Kings
English. For example, at Washington,
the other day, Judge Otto gave swell
dinner to few of his friends in official
life, and the first line Of the menu was,
"Diner de 81 Converts. Why not have
said, "Fash for thirty one." instead of
DESERVING our own expressive language.
Oysters were "Huitres an Naturei,"
soup was Casseroles la Pompadour,"
Goldfish was Poisson" and so on, to
the end. 1t is all bosh. The English
language is too good and yer e.able to
be traded off.-Boston Post.

years, and that he should speak and act
