Birds Of Paradise.

The birds of New Guinea present a
larger proportion of brilliantly plumaged
species than those of any other part of
the world. To this result the birds of
Paradise greatly contribute. OF this fam
lily twenty-four species are known, all con-
fined to the Papuan Islands with single
exception, a Manucodia, which has ex-
tended 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 Paradise 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
considerable thickness, sometimes fans
which spread on each side of the breast,
sometimes shields or long trains behind
the wings, while the central tail-feathers
are often produced to great length, elon-
gated by lustrous spatules, and all adorned
with the most brilliant metallic tints. In
the sub-family Epimdchin8, instead of
tufts from the sides of the body, the ac-
cessory plumes spring from the head, the
back, or the shoulders, while in the spe-
cies which strays into North Australia
these peculiarities are absent. There is
scarcely a hue among the colors of nature
which is not found in the endless variety
of the painting of the Paradise birds; not
only the lustrous metallic tints OF the
humming bird. but yeliows, reds, blues
and greens, of every degree of intensity.
Yet these fantastic freaks of coloration
and feathering are confined to the males;
the females are all clad in the most sober
browns, and are the most unattractive of
birds. Doubtless this provision of nature
is intended as protection from observa-
ton during the incessant labors of the
nesting season. Strange notions former
ly prevailed among the vulgar as to the
birds of Paradise. As until recently no
European 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, Apoda. Peculiar and strange as
are these creatures, yet there can be no
doubt that their nearest allies in nature
are family marked by an extreme uni
formity and sombreness of plumage, and
by the absence of any difference of color
ationin the sexes-the crow tribe, between
which and the starlings the Paradise birds
are naturally placed.

Unlucky Marriages.

The truth is that these too frequent "un.
happy marriages" are the offspring of
ignorance quite as much as of actual sin
or wrong. Fools, and especially vicious
fools, have no right to get possession of
wonan's life and soul which they cannot
comprehend, and the elevating influence
of which they throw away even more by
stupidity than by willfulness.
A woman, by her sex and character, has
claim to many things besiees shelter.
food and clothing. She is not less q
woman for being welded; and man
who is fit to be trusted with good wife
recollects all which this implies, and
shows himself perpetually chiyalrous,
sweet spoken, ,considerate and deferential.
The fools and brutes who abound among
us may think such demands hard but
they are not as bad as to live the eat-and-
dog live, missing the dearest possibilities
of human intercourse.
What right has a man to expect happi-
ness in household who brings no SUM-
shine into it? What right has he to look
for the graces and refinements of early
love when he violates them by rough
speech, i'll manners and the disregards of
those little things UPON which the self re-
speet of a wife is built and maintained
The cynic who rails at marriage is gen.
orally one and the same with the
thoughtless egotist who files into the
presence of his wife careless, stubborn
and sour tempered, though he never went
to his mistress except on his best be-
havior.
The faith is horrible which pure and
faithful girl may endure by encountering
in him whom she weds not mere actual
cruelty or injury, but stupid incompetence
to understand woman's needs, dali for
getfulness of the daily graces of life and
oblivion of the fact that while men have
the world women have only their home.
Those grossnesses of masculine ingrati-
tude do not, indeed, often lean to visible
catastrophe nor grow into absolute
tyranny, but they equally tend that way.
They drag down wife's soul to the point
where she must despair; they change the
sublime meaning of marriage to vulgarity
and weariness they spoil the chance of
that best and finest ofall education which
each man obtains who wins reasonably
good woman for his companion, and they
cost more to million households than
money or repentance can ever pay back

AN IMPROVEMENT IN BREAD MAKING
Persons who are so unfortunate as to be
poorly provided with those agents of
mastication, good teeth, will be glad to
know that there is a method of baking
bread which obviates the necessity Of
hard Gust. The crust commonly attach
ed to the loaf is not only troublesome to
such persons, but is often the cause of
much waste. The way to get rid Of it is
as follows When the loaves are
moulded, and before they are set down
to raise, take small quantity of clean
lard, warm it and rub it lightly over the
loaves. The result will be ernst beau
tifully soft and tender throughout.
