The National Col0rs in Birds.

When George w. Parhall was in Philadelphia attending the centennial exhib bition he had q conversation with one ot the United States commissioners MT. Parhall being great bird fancier, the conversation naturally turned to birds, The commissioner informed our townsman that he had endeavored to secure three birds who would live to- gether in one cage, and who represented rhe national colors. He said he had offered large sum for such curiosity, but he had some doubts about it being a6 6complished. Mir. Parhall has quietly been endeavoring to collect together birds of a size, who would represent the national colors, and who would dwel together in one cage. 1t was 8 long time before he accomplished his desire, but he was successful. and last week placed on exhibition in Powers block the de- sired curiosity. The red bird was a species known as the Napoleon, which he procured from South America; the blue was an Indigo bird from the same country, and the white-the rarest of the three-was sparrow from the is.e of Java. They were all of a size, fed upon the same kind of seed, and lived together In Q small cage very peacefully. They attracted B great deal of attention, especially from the lady visitors to the building, many of whom would watch them for an hour at a time. The white Java sparrow appeared 10 be the one attraction, and to those interested in birds he was indeed curiosity. He was pure white from the bill to his toes, and appeared to take pride in keeping himself in this condition, being ire quent visitor to the bath dish.-Rc ches- Ter Dem 1c7-at.

Ranaina Hats.

The .Iipiiapa, or Pana anna hats, say the Journal of Botany, are principally manufactured in Veraquas and Western Panama. Not all, however, known in commerce by that name are plaited in the Istbmus; by far greater propor- tion being, made in Manta, Monte Christi, and other parts of Ecuador. The hats are worn almost in the whole American continent and the West In- dies, and would probably be equally used in Europe did not their high price lvarying from ssto $l5o) prevent their importation. They are distinguished single piece, and by their lightness and fiexibility. They may be rolled up and put into the pocket without injury. In the rainy season they are apt t. get black; but by washing with soap and water. besmearing them with lime juice, or any other acid, and exposing them to the sun, their whiteness is easily re- stored. So little Is known about these hats, that 1t may not be out of place to give an account of their manufacture.
 The straw" Ipaja), previous to plaiting, has to undergo several pro- cesses. The leaves are gathered before they unfold; all the ribs and coarser veins removed, and the rest, without DtlHS SepdIdbei lIOIl lllt DtSe Ol lIlc leaf is reduced to shreds. After having been exposed to the sun for day, and tied into a knot, the straw is immersed into boiling water until it becomes white. It is then hung up in a shady place, and subsequently, bleaehed for two or three days. The straw is new ready for use, and in this state, sent to different places, especially to Peru, where the Indians manufacture from it those beautiful cigar cases, which some times bring as high as $50 each. The plating ot the hats is very troublesome. It commences at the crown and finishes at the britn. The hats are made on a block, which is placed upon the knees, and requires to be constantly pressed with the breast. According to their quality, more or less time is occupied in their completion the coarser ones may be finished in two or three days, while the finest may take as many montls. The best times for plating are the morning hours and the rainy season, when the air is moist, In the middle of the day and in dry clear weather, the straw is apt to break, and this, when the tt is finished, is be- trayed by knots, and much diminishes the value.

The Snltan of Turkay.

A friend of mine who hasi,just re- turned from Turkey, and who had oc- casion to be brought in contact with the sultan and many of his ministers, tells me, says the editor of London 7au h, that the commander of the faithful is, without exception, the most utterly faithles scamp in his dominions When ever he appoints minister he says to him:. You must find means to resist all demands for reform, and your tenure of office will depend upon the length of time that you can do this without com promising me. Eventually the ambas- sadors will complain of you, when I shall pretend to be most indignant at your not having carried out my policy
 and shall sacrifice you for having de- ceived me-" The sultan is the son of an Armenian mother, and it is generally supposed that his real father was an Armenian. He is neither drunkard nor voluptuary, and although by no means an able man he has a consider able amount of low cunning He is be- lieved to be accommodating considerable fund, for although the finances Of his country are in desperate condition taxes do come in, and yet neither the army nor the civil employees are paid.

From WashinRtozs

The state department is in receipt of Linfor- nation that the vessel which recently fired upon two American schooners in Cuban waters was the Canto, a small screw steamer belonging to the Spanish navy. No formal presentation of the case will be made to the Spanish government until the report of Ad- miral Wyman, who was ordered with the Tennessee to Havana, has been received. Spanish authorities have thus far denied that the firing was done by any vessel of the Spanish navy.
 The officials of the agricultural bureau are very much gratified at the progress of tea raising in the South. A MT. Jackson, who has over thirty-five thousand tea-plants on his farm near Savannah, Ga., recently sent to the commissioner of agriculture tin box con- taining several samples ot the tea raised on his farm. The commissioner subsequently, took the samples to New York and went incognito to one of the lasgest tea establish ments there. representing that he had some tea to sell. An expert was called in to ex- anime the tea and he pronounced it India tea, worth fifty cents per pound. Commits sioner Le Due then had difficulty in convinc- tug the expert that the tea was grown in this country and could be produced for one-third the price named. The tea is represented as being very palatable and difficult to distin- guish from the imported article. Provision having been made by Congress for the estab- lishment of tea farm, arrangements are now making at the agricultural bureau looking to the selection of place in South Carolina for the experiment.. There are constant applica- tions to the bureau for tea.plants, and it is expected that in a short time hundreds of thousands of plants will be growing ii this country. The commissioners thinks that it is only question of a short time when capital ists will begin to see the immense profits to be realized from tea raising, and in few yesrs he expects that the United States will be producing as much tea and sugar as may be needed tor home consumption.

Some mirrors of less than half square meter, tion have sIfficed to roast half kilo- gram-or about one pound-of beef in twenty-two minutes, and to cook, in an hour and half. stews which required four hours of an ordinary fire of wood i; and in half an hour to bring three fourths of liter of cold water to the boiling poine. which latter corresponds to the utilization of 95 colories per minute per square meter, witch may be considered aremarkable result in the latitude of Paiis.
