OYER 5000, 900. .OeO BIRDS IN ONE
FLOCK.

The passenger pigeon is one Of the
most wonderful Of birds. Wilson's de-
sciiption of their camping grounds is:
"As soon as the young were fully grown,
and before they left their nests, numer-
GUS parties of the inhabitants from all
parts of the country came with wagons,
oxen, beds. cooking utensils, many of
them accompanied by the greater part
OF their families, and encamped for sew
eral days at this immense nursery.
Several of them informed us that tine
noise in the woods was so great as to
terrify their horses, and that it was diff
cult for one person to hear another speak
without bawling in his ear. The ground
was strewn with branches, broken limbs,
eggs and young squad pigeons which
bad been precipitated from above, ,and
on which herds of hogs were tattening
Hawks, buzzards and eagles were sail.
ing about in great numbers, and seizine
the squads from their nests at pleasure,
while from twenty feet upward to the
top of the trees the view through the trees
presented perpetual tumult of crowd
ing and fluttering multitudes of pigeons,
their wings roaring like thunder, mingled
with the crash of falling trees" 1t Is
utterly impossible to estimate the num-
bers that congreGate together On some
trees more than 300 nests were found.
and the branches were continually fall
ing, owing to the weight of the old
birds. The amount consumed by a
flock of these birds is wonderful. VIII
son calculates that, taking the breadth
of a column of pigeons he saw to be only
one mile, its length to he 240 miles, and
to contain only three pigeons in each
square yard (.aking no account Of the
several strata of birds one above the
other), and that each bird consumes
half a pint of food daily, all of which
assumptions are below the actual amount,
the quantity of food consumed in day
would be 1900, 900 bushels. Suppos-
ing this column to be one mile in
breadth. and flying at the rate of one
mile minute for four hours, and sup
posing that each square yard contains
three pigeons, the square yards in the
whole space, multiplied by three, would
give 2,23O,2 ,272, 900 birds! In the Ken.
tucky country, where they are mostly
found, they appear suddenly, darkening
the sky so completely that all work and
labor is given up until they have passed
The air is literally filed with pigeons, and
in some places mortars are used to bring
down hundreds at one discharge. Their
rapidity of flight is wonderful.

Many an illness is caused simply by
imagination, and those of US who Sc
about our work with calmness and con
fdence ale much more likely to escape
disease than others who are filed with
apprehension should infection come
within 100 miles Of them. In oonnec-
ton with this the Arabs tell the follow
ing story:
One day traveller met the plague 60
ing into Cairo, and sccOsted it thus:
"For what purpose are You entering
Cairo?"
ITO kill 5000 peoplei" rejoined the
plague.
Some time after the same traveller met
the plague on its return and said:
"But you killed 10000"
"Nay," answered the plague, "1killed
but 5000; the rest died of fright"

DIR. HARDrSs says: "The assertion
that American women are feebler than
foreign women is known to be false by
any who has employed foreigners as
domestics. The foreign helps are
puffed up by watery vegetables and
coarse bread, and look strong but they
have headaches, bad teeth. sore eyes,
deafness and weak digestion, and they
are tired out by little tasks which their
