The stormy petrol, known to sailors as
the Mother Carey's Chicken, is hated by
them after most illogical manner BE-.
cause 1t ioretells an approaching storm.
and therefore by n curious process OF
reasoning is taking for its cause.
This bird, says" Woods Natural His
tory" has long been celebrated for the
manner in which it passes over the
waves, pattering with its webbed feet
and Tapping its wings so as to keep it.
self just above the surface. 1t thus
traverses the ocean with wonderful ease,
the billows rolling beneath its feet and
passing away under the bird without in
the least disturbing it. 1t is mostly on
the move in windy weather, because the
marine creatures are flung to the surface
by the waves and can be easily picked
up as the bird pursuesits course. 1t feeds
on the little fish, crustaceans, and mol
lusks which are found in abundance on
the surlace OF the sea, especially on the
floating masses of alga, and will for
days keep pace with o ship for the pur-
pose of picking up the refuse food
thrown overheard. Indeed, to throw
the garbage of fish into the sea is a tol-
erably certain method of attracting these
birds, who are sharp sighted and sell
dom fail to perceive anything eatable.
1t is believed that the petrol does r. OF
dive. The word petrol is given to the
bird on account of its powers of walk
ing on the water, as is related of ST..
Peter.
1t does not frequent land except dur
| ing the breeding season and can repose
on the surface of the ocean, settling it.

rising and falling quietly with the swell.
This petrol breeds on the northern
coasts of England, laying q white egg
in some convenient recess, q rabbit
ourrow being often employed for the
purpose.
This bird possesses singular amount
OF oil, and has the power of throwing ii
from the mouth when terrified. 1t is
said thu this oil, which is very pure, is
collected largely in st. Kida by catch
ing the bird on its egg, where it sits
very closely, and making it disgorge the
Oil into vessel. The bird is then re-
leased and another taken. The inbabi-
tants OF the Farce islands make Curl
Gus use OF this bird when young and
very fat, by simply drawing a wick
through the body and Lighting it at the
end which projects from the beak. This

The general color of this bird is sooty

and the upper tail coverts are white. It's

A Cure for Sick Headache,

teaspoonfuls of powdered charcoal in
half glass of water generally gives in

first symptoms of a headache appear,
take teaspoonful of clear lemon juice
fifteen minutes before each meal and the
same dose at bedtime; follow this up
until all symptoms are passed, taking no
other remedies, and you will soon be
able to go free from your UNIV leone

sively, and this country has become one
OF the greatest marts for its consump-
ton.
Modern furs have somewhat differ
ent aspect as they appear on the we'll
dressed lady Of our day, compared with
the ancient garments. From time to
time the demand for furs have varied
according to the caprice of fashion, until
sealskin began to engage the attention OF
traders. and owing to the soft, velvet
like appearance of the fur and its beauti-
full shades after its various manipulaa
tions, 1t was placed on the market, and
soon became the most eagerly sought
after, and is still in the greatest demand.
The process which the skin undergoes is
an interesting one. This valuable fur is
obtained principally from Alaska, a.
though the South Sea islands produce
some Of the richest and most luxuriant
OF growths. After being taken from the
animal they are prepared for expectation
for the London and Leipsic fur markets,
which are the greatest in the world.
There, with the collections of various
skins from other countries, they are sold
to the. merchants and agents, and the
sealskins go 10 the fur dressing and COL
oring establishments of London; then
they undergo the process of dressing,
having the coarse hair extracted, which
covers or conceals the beauties of the fur
beneath, thus preparing it for q condi-
tion ready for coloring, producing those
soft, subdued shades so generally ad-
mired. The importations to the United
States have become quite extensive ol
late years, and last year there were re-
ceived upward of a million dollars worth
of the seal fur.

A Western Stock Sale.

They have their stock exchange and
mining board in the magic cities of the
far West, and their own peculiar way of
doing business. Buyers and stockhold-
ers, also, have their own peculiar ways,
and these ways sometimes clash. A New
Yorker was seated in an Office in Gunni-
son City, Col, one day not long ago,
when grizzly looking old chap entered
and asked if that was the place where
they sold shares of the White Horse
silver mine. Being assured he was
in the office of the company he oh
served:
"Pve heard the White Horse spoken
OF as being likely mine"

"Well, that's better, there's hundred

"Pass out the CASH." said the old man
as he rested the end OF his shooter on the
edge of the counter.
The company had left his revolver in
his cvercoat outside, and he didn't be.
lieve the New Yorker would shoot for
him. After look around he began
counting out the money with bland
smile, and as he made the exchange he
said:
