The U~ummIng.BIrd.

One Of the most remarkable feats per-
formed by birds Of passage is instanced
by the tiny uby.throated humming-
bird Of North America. This beautiful
little creature finds its way annually
from Mexico. and ever South America,
TO the United States, Canada and New.
i~oundland, returning to its winter home
in autumn. This long journey is not
performed in flocks, but HiDgly, over no
less than twenty degrees Of latitude,
over immense forest tracts, wide prai-
ries, high mountains, and broad rivers.
One wonders why this, Of many species
of humming- birds, should form one Of
very few exceptions, and abandon the
eternal summers Of the South, 10 run
the risks Of two hazardous journeys, for
a short %soiourn in lands where it has
barely time to rear its offspring before
the cold Of autumn compels a retrograde
movement. We can suppose that the
united intelligences Of a flock of swal-
lows are more likely TO assure a safer
passage than the skill Of q single indi.
vidual; nevertheless this tiny creature
pursues its course year by year for thou
sands Of miles, and with great regularity
as to the seasons Of arrival and depar-
ture, performing tho double journey
and rearing its offspring within four
months. How the little bird manages
TO subsist during its spring migration,
especially in Canada, seems a wonder,
for scarcely a flower excepting the May
flower, the trillium, and a few other
vernal plants are in bloom. Often in
the center OF some vast Canadian forest,
the housewife no Dol places her &C.
ranium, that has been indoors through
out the long rigorous winter, in order
for it to catch the first warm sunshine
of May, than a buzzing noise announces
the advent Of the ruby-throRt.-Har-

A Veritable ShylOck.

An almost incredible usury case now
occupies the attention of the Berlin
criminal court; a case which reminds one
Of tho human blood-hounds who, in the
old days of Imprisonment for debt, used
to ruin the young bloods of England in
p~latoons and then turn them over to the
tender mercies of the Fleet. The present
instance is this:
A young officer, to settle a debt of
honor, borrowed $50 marks from a
money-lender who did much business
with the corps. In insecurity for this ac-
commodation he gave him q promissory
note for GOO marks. When this fell due
it was not paid. The usurer menaced
the young man with an appeal to his
commanding officer. To avert the scan
dial which would inevitably have fol-
lowed, the debtors mother, o widow
with a small pension, undertook the
debt. Not content with the monstrous
interest already assessed, the Shylock
actually increased the sum of the note
from 600 to 1000 marks, and the widow
signed q fresh acknowledgment in that
sum-.
When the time for the taking up Of
this note came the widow had no money.
So she renewed the note with one for
1900 marks. This CHASTITY farce went
on until in less than q year the shark
held notes to the amount Of 1000
marks, which the poor woman, on whose
ignorance and maternal affection he had
been playing, had signed. During this
time two-thirds Of the victims pension
money, 1000 marks in all, had been paid
to him as interest. That is to say, he
had received the sum he had originally
loaned, four times over, and still held
notes for sixteen times the amount. In
April last he presented one Of these for
1900 marks, for payment. The widow
was penniless, and could not even pay
interest more. Next day a suit was be
gun against her. Unfortunately for her
prosecutor, his greed had carried him
too far. The publicity the suit secured,
caused his arrest, and he will be out of
the way of finying people alive for some
years to come.

Sixty years ago, the Oath of May last,
when Victoria Alexandria, daughter Of
Edward, Duke Of Kent, the fourth son
OF George III. was born, there was very
little probability that she would ever
wear the crown OF Great Britain. But
in twenty years all who stood between
her and the throne, died, leaving no is
sue, and in 1888, forty years ago, the
Young princess was crowned. She has
had at home, with but few intermissions,
a peaceful reign, but there has scarcely
been a time when her armies have not
been actively engaged in some foreign
war, once in Europe, but generally in
Asia and Africa, and frequently with
the natives of British possessions in
those remote regions. One year after
she became queen, England entered on
an Afghan war repeated this year, and
presumably concluded now. So that
the queen can celebrate the return of
peace and success on the anniversary OF
her birth. Great Britain has steadily
grown in power and possessions since
1910. Nothing of consequence has been
surrendered or abandoned, and much
has been gained, and the queen herself
has been invested in recent years with
the title of Empress of India. In her
homo life the queen has had but one
great afiiction-the death of her hus-
band, Prince Albert, until a few months
ago, when her daughter Alice died.
Her other children, eight in number,
are still living, some of them with large
families of their own, and the queen has
one great-grandchild.

Importance of Thorough ventilation.

Importance of Thorough Ventilation.
If two persons are to occupy a bed
room during a night, letthem step upon
weighing scales as they retire and then
again in the morning, and they viii find
their actual weight is at least a pound
less in the morning. Frequently there
will he a Loo Of two or more pounds,
and the average loss Throughout the
year will be more than one pound-that
is, during the night there is a loss Of a
pound OF a matter which has gone Of
from their bodies, partly from the lungs
and partly through thepores OF the skin.
The escaped material is carbonic acid
and decayed animal matter or poisonous
exhalations. This is diffusel through
cut the air in part, and in part absorbed
by the bed clothes. II a single ounce
OF wool or cotton be burned in a room,
it will so completely saiurate the air
with smoke that n can hardly breathe,
though there can only be an ounce Of
foreign matter in the air. II an ounce
Of cotton be burned every half .hour
during the night, the dir will be kept
continually saturated with tho smoke
unless there be an open door or window
forit to escape. Now the sixteen ounces
Of smoke thus formed is far less poison
GUS than the sixteen ounces Of exhalation
from the lungs and bodies Of the two
persons who have lost a pound in weight
during the eight hours of sleeping, for
while the dry smokei is mainly taken into
the lungs, the damp odors from the
body are absorbed into the lungs and
into the pores of tho whole body. Need
more be said 70 show the importance Of
having bedr:oms well ventilated and
thoroughly airing the sheets, coverlets
and mattresses in the morning, before
packing them up in the form Of a neatly

WIlkIe Collins, Advice.

Wilkie Collins, in conversation with
an American letter-writer, gave this ad-
vice to young authors: Il have several
rules from which l never deviate my
self, and deviation from which l consid-
er very dangerous, ever in the case Of
the most practiced author. Forinstsnce,
in writing q novel, you should always
begin at the beginning. A readers at
tention must be won by degrees, his in
terest gradually enlisted, until finally it
becomes absorbed. Yet J. approve OF
beginning q story with q sensation, if ii
be q good one, and one which belongs
naturally at the beginning Of the story.
Then, too, you should know before you
begin how it is going to end, and steadi-
ly working toward that end, you should
always keep the action moving. When
you have interested your readers in one
set of characters, don't drop them and
begin another chapter with, we must

Outburst of Gas, Oil and Salt Water

Mr.. Beechcr,s Exnensirc Treat.

On the return of the Thirteenth regi-

birthday in Montreal, Chaplain Beecher
had a group Of reporters around him all
the evening, entertaining them with
funny stories. He told of being very
much pleased with the luscious French
melons on his FIRST visit to Paris, in 1850.
A year Of two afterward he went over
again, and met on the steamer two gen.
tlemen then and now well known in New
York society. These gentlemen were
both at that time, as Mr.. Beecher ex,
pressed it, rather light in the pocket
and, as Mr.. Beecher intended to stay in

melons, and we had as many rs We want
