LATE NEWS ITEMS.

THE following particulars OF the loss
of the steamship City of Vera Cruz are con-
densed from a statement made by u sailor,
one of the survivors: On Saturday afternoon
the steamer encountered strong gale, which
soon Increased in fury. The sea ran very
high and the Vera Cruz labored heavily for
some time. Every effort was made TO keep
her before the wind. Each succeeding wave
tore away pieces Of her upper works
until her deck was finally swept clear,
and as the sea rose over her bows and del
uged her decks they soon reached the fur
naces and extinguished the fires, the matches
being torn from their fastenings by the bill
lows. The fire being out soon put stop to
the engines, and the City of Vera Cruz lay at
the mercy Of the waves. Not even the
donkey-pump could be worked to relieve
the vessel Of the water she was rapidly
making in her hold. In this ex-
tremity Capt. Van Size ordered his men
to throw overheard the deck load. The
task had been begun about midnight, but
the sea was too heavy to permit the crew
carrying out the Captains orders, for while
thus engaged several Of the men were car
ried off their feet by incoming seas and
many of them were washed overheard. Capt.
Van Size and his officers acted courageously
in the performance Of their several duties,
but were one by one washed over
board from their stations as the steamer
IabOred in the trough Of the sea. As
near as can ascertain, the Captain persisted
fully an hour before the vessel finally sue
cumbed, and as nearly all hands were lost
the few remaining alive on board now saw
that there was no hope, so they took the
life-preservers, the life-boats having al
ready disappeared. Sailors and passengers
then seized fragments Of the state-Toom
doors or any other movable articles that
would float, and awaited the end all knew to
be at hand. The vessel was about thirty
miles off the shore at this time, the hIrri
cane being one of terrible fury. By the time
the shipwrecked men and women had equip
ped themselves with their impromptu
buoys the final catastrophe occurred, it be-
ing then about $3.50 q. m. With one
awful and tremendous lurch the
steamer suddenly sank into the ocean,
the swirl carrying down many of the living.
OF the seventy souls on board before the
storm began only thirteen reached land alive.

What the Birds Eat.

At a, recent meeting of the Ontario
Agricultural Commission held at Lon
don, William f. Sanders, the well-knOwn
Canadian ornithologist, gave an account
of some in,ectivorous birds that were
worthy of encouragement. He said he
had been engaged in the study of birds
for the last seven or eight years and had
examined the crops of probably about
two hundred; of the birds which were
purely insectivorous, the most common
was the large family of warblers. of
which the yellow warbler and the red
start mostly took their food on the wing,
but partially on the branches of trees;
of the birds which took their food eXclu
sively on the wing there were the fly
catchers, which included the king bird
and the peewee; their food was chiefly
flies. Moths were numerously caught
bv nighthawks and these altogether
with the swallows he considered birds
beneficial to the farmer and fruit-grow-
er. OF the birds which fed partly on
the wing and partly on trees, the food
of the yellow warbler consisted chiefly
of the Larvae and eggs of moths, which
they took from the leaves of trees; the
vireds and cuckoos were birds of the
same class and similarly beneficial. The
bluebird fed mostly on insects, though
it might take grain when its fayorite
diet was not 0btainable. The insects
devoured by the last described class of
birds were mostly injurious to the orch
ardist and the farmer. The nut-hatch,
which was very common bird, staid in
these ATTITUDES the year round and lived
almost entirely on insects and their
eggs and chrysalides. The Yoodpeck-
ers mostly took their food u BON trees.
The red-headed variety were generally
considered a pest on account of their
devouring SO much fruit, chiefly cher
ries and apples. The high-holder wood
pecker, though it occasionally ate few
cherries, was on the whole bird which
should be protected, owing to the num-
Der of insects it devoured. The hairy
and downy woodpeckers and the yellow
bellied variety were commonly, but he
believed unjustly, denominated sap
suckers, and accused of destroying fruit
ard other trees by extracting the sap
tom them. He had never seen trees
injured by them and they were benef-
:ial birds in his estimation.

Board by the Wholesale.

Yesterday afternoon shortly after the
arrival of the train a man entered a
hotel in this city and asked the clerk,
who stood busying himself with apatent
blotter, the terms upon which he could
engage board.

Of the birds which ate their food up
on the ground there was first the thrush
es, including the robin, the tawny
thrush, the brown thrush and the cat
bird. From his examination of the
maws of the robin he had very little to
say in its favor, as they were very de-
structive to cherries and other fruits,
and ate very few insects-ehieAy coleop-
tera-and then only when it could not
get fruit; the cat-bird was allied to the
robin and like it was destructive to
raspberries; the tawny and brown
thrushes were almost exclusively insec-
tivorous. The food of the blackbird
family-which included the red-winged
blackbird, the crow blackbird, the COW
blackbird, the meadow lark and the
oriole-consists largely of beetles and
larvae; the crow blackbird. however,
lived almost entirely on grain, while
the cow-bird. like the European cuckoo,
was decidedly injurious by laying its
eggs in the nests of other and beneficial
birds, whose young were generally
starved to death, owing to the greater
size and more clamorous appetite of the
luGTuuIllS DIOOuS IAAC lOu-"lis,Ou oi"c>
bird fed on the larvae of beetles in the
spring, but in the fall it devoured grain.
About twenty-five per cent of the food
of the meadow lark consisted of beetles
and other insects, the remainder being
vegetable food, but of what kind he had
been unable to ascertain. The Bathurne
oriole was beneficial to the farmer. The
sparrows were all pretty much grain
feeders, though the gray bird or chip
ping sparrow fed largely on insects;
One variety, the purple finch, devoured
the buds of trees and was injurious on
that account. The indigo bird fed
mostly on the seeds of grass and weeds.
The English sparrow seemed to feed
about equally on seeds and insects, but
he had not examined their stomachs.
1t was doubtful whether its importation
would prove a benefit or an injury.
The canary fed chiefly on small seeds,
but its young devoured good many
insects. He believed the house wren
fed entirely on insects and their Larvae
and like the black-capped tit, or chick
adee, was entirely beneficial; the war
wing, or cherry bird, was never inju-
rious to fruit and the butcher-bird was
an enemy to the farmer by killing small
insectivorous birds; the jay and the
hawk were injurious for the same rea-
son; the crow fed largely on grain.

Scripture Measures.

According to Maimonides, a cubit
was the measure of forty-eight barley
corns ("Sepher Torah," TX, 81, whence
from actual measurements of barley
corns made in Syria in 1872, Lieuten-
ant Conger obtains the result of sixteen
inches for the medium cubit The
span, therefore is eight inches-the ex-
treme distance stretched from thumb
to the end of the little finger by an
average hand. In these dimensions it
is to be noted that the Syrian and the
English long-measure barley-corns
agree, and, if we with our Western
haeds can span nine inches, that Jews
and Arabs are smaller than we are.
The zereth, rendered in our version
- hand BREADTH" will in this. case be
five and one-third inches, which is the
ordinary span of the four fingers and
the regal, ten and two thirds inches.
A furlong fresGhJ thus becomes fifty

Brief Essay on Powder.

To powder or not to powder is ques-
ton each woman must settle for herself.
A fine, fresh, pure skin is possible to
any body whose flesh has not been con-
taminated by cosmetics; those who
have begun fancy they must keep on,
but it is a shame for mothers to allow
their fresh, sweet, lovely daughters,
just in the bloom of girlhood, to make
acquaintance with the powder-box. 1t
would be amazing if it were not dis
gushing to see maids and mothers pow
dering little girls-the rosiest babies
in the dressing-room before the opening
of adancing-school ball, dredging them
as cook does joint before roasting it.
If these foolish women knew how much
more beautiful the child was with her
sweet, fresh tints, they would spare
them till their rosebud daughters were
at least in full blossom and try first
what fresh air, exercise and pure water
will do. Beware of any powder that
contains bismuth, unless you are willing
to risk an aftercrop of purplish pimples.
