The Golden Eaxie,

This noble bird is spread over a large

British Islands, and in varions pats of Eu-
rope, Asia, Africa, and America. The col.
or Of this bird'is rich bIackisll- l-blown on
the greater part of the body, the he.d and
neck being covered with feathers of rich
golden red, which have earned for the bird
Its popular name. The legs and sldts OF
the thighs arc grey-brown, and the tai is u
deep gray, divcrsliicd with several regular
dark-brown bars. The cerc and tho feet
are yellow. In it's immature state the pll-
mage of the golden eagle is differently ting.
ed, the whole of the feathers being reddish
brown, tho legs and sides of the thighs
nearly white, and the tail white for The first
thrce-quarters of its length SO different
OH aspect does tho immature bird present
that 1t has been often reckoncd as a separate
species, and named accordingly. Ii Is q
truly magnificent bird In point Of size, fol
al adult female measures about three feet
six inches In length, and the cxpanse OF
her wings Is nine feet. The male is less by
nearly six inches. In England the golden
eagle has long been cxtlnct; but 1t Is still
found In some plenty in the highlands oil

to frequent certain fayorite hallnts, and tc

Smelling or lkIssiny.

In the expression Of affection the sense
of smell, there is reason to believe, is older
in use and dignity than that of taste or touch.
Ofa Mongol father a travellers writes: "IIc
smellcd from time TO time the head Of his
youngest son, d mark of patcrnal tender
ness usual among the Mongols instead of
embracing" In the Philippine islands, We
are told, ''the sense of smell is developed to
so great a degree that they arc able by
smelling of the pocket ke-handkerchicfs, to tell
to which persons they belong; and lovers
at parting exchange pieces of the linen they
may be wearing, and, during their scpara
ton, inhale the odor Of tho beloved being. "
Among the Cittagong fill people again 1t
Is said ''thc manner of kiss ng Is peculiar
Instead Of pressing lip to lip they place tho
nose and mouth upon the check and inhalc
the breath strongly. Their form of speech
Is not "Givc me kiss" but "Smcll nc. /"
In the saInc way, according to another
traveller, "rhc Burmese do not kiss each
other IN the Western fashion, but apply the
lip and nose to the check and make strong
inhalation" Moreover, the Samoans sa.
lutte by ''juxtaposition of noses, accompa-
nicd not by rnb, but by hearty SMELL"
There Is scriptural precedent for such Gus
toms. When blind Isaac was In doubt
whether the son who came to him was Ia
cob or not, ''hc smct the smell Of his raj
mcnt, and blessed him."

and then permitting 1t TO stand idle for five
or six years. After that time the soil begins
to grow feather grass, regarded as q sign
Of returning fertility. Husbandry has uil-
dcrgonc great general changes since the
emancipation Of tho serfs, to whom con-
siderable portion OF tho land has been trans
fcrrcd in freehold. The landowners hay
ing lost their former right to the labor of
their scris, find it advantageous to decrease
their titled lands or lease parts OF 1t to the
peasants, often in return for half the CROP
Agriculture suffers materially from want
of proper means OF communication, causing
the grain to be very low in the locality
where it is raised. The chief cereals are
wheat, grown rs fur north US latitude six
ty-two deg, rye, barley and oats. Buck
wheat and millet arc produced in the south,
and from these and rye comes the staple
food of the inhabitants. Hemp and flax
are also widely raised, and faxsced is used
for food by tho lower orders during the
continually recurring fasts, embracing
more than six months out OF the twelve.
During the last forty years potatoes have
been extensively grown, the government
having done much to encourage and aug
ment their growth after tho famine Of 1889.
An area of 48G, ,0J0, 600 acres Is covered
with woods, but timber is 50 literally used
by the Russians in building houses, heating,

cxtravagantthan In the modern world. For.

were "bsurdly lavish. And yet everything
was very cheap oven in this extravagant
city. The market reports show that lamb

four cents, fish two cents, pair of quail
thirty cents, eggs six cents per dozen,
wheat sixteen cents per peck, four pounds
OF large grapes two cents; chickens, per
pair, thirty cents; five to ten heads of let
tucc two cents. The Romans were not
very fond Of any meat save pork, and this
they consumed sparingly Beef was not
popular, being used mostly for sacrifices.
Game and fish were favorltc articles, and
'mapy choice imported fish brought large
prices. The common people could not
AFFORD many luXurics, as wages were low.
The yearly pay of u journeyn,an mechanic
was from ninety five dollars to one hundred
and twenty-five dollars and board. Food
cost forty dollars and clothing fifteen dol
lars per year. From the account Of Forbl-
ger 1t seemed that goods were very low. A
pair OF shoes cost thirty cents; one pair of
womans 9 gaters, thirty cents; one felt hat,
one dollar; ono tunic, sixteen dollars to
thirty-s!x dollars; ono toga, twenty dol

The origin OF the PlOw.

The origin Of the plow and wheeled car
riagcs was subject Of II paper lately read
by Mr.. Taylor before the London Anthro-
biological Institute. lie believed that tho
first agricultural implement was a pointed
stick, which at a later stage Of development
was bent at the end into the form of q hoe
and had the point hardened In the fire.
After the lapse OF ages large implement
OF the same shape came into use. 1t was
not employed like the hoe or "hack" but
drawn by men or oxen. Among our own
Indians, III the traditional lore of Sweden,
IN Egypts picture Of u remote past, there
are more or less district traces Of the above
transition. Greek, Egyptian, Chinese SOW
orally possessed the germ, 90 TO speak, of
the modern pl0w. The spur wus ne..;: sh0d
with iron, the more efficiently to fulfil the
purpose OF the conner or share. Virgil
lived at a time when the plow had reached
Il very high stage OF perfection. it was
then constructed with wheel and an up
ward projecting handle, like the best form
OF plOw in use in Europe in the eighteenth
century, and, it might well be added, like
the plows still employed near Mantua and
Venice at tho present day. DIR. Taylor is
unwilling to concedc that the plow was the
progcnitor of the vehicle Of to-day; no as
signs that honor to the sled, as is more
probably just. 1t would soon be found
that TIC Introduction of rollers beneath tho
sled Would facilitate its traction. But as
it was not necessary that every part of the
roller should rest on tho ground, tho dame
YER of the middle was reduced with obvl-
Gus advantage. Slowly IN this way the
wheel, solid throughout and rigidly attach
&c TO the axle, came into existence. Tho
