Fiery Scourge.

A correspondent who landed at Port
Huron for the purpose of looking into
the Michigan forest fires says that in APP
preaching that port he saw great num-
bers of birds afoat upon the water. In
run of one hour he counted over one
hundred and fifty dead birds of various
forest varieties namely, wood-peckers,
catbirds, bullfnches, robins and blue
iays-that passed by the boat. If the
whole lake is thickly covered there must
be several hundreds, if not thousands, of
the corpses OF birds in the lake. Be-
sides the birds the waters are fecked
with drowned forest insects of every de-
scription. These winged citizens of the
woods are not slain by the fire, but driv-
en- by the heated air, flames and sparks.
The latter were carried to great heights.
The birds and insects sought the clear
over the lake and were lost in the smoky
haze, probably hurt by the foul air and
finally dropped. tired out. into the
whelming pillows; and if the winged
birds died it may be certainly concluded
that the animals and people could hardly
escape.

Be WatchfuI,
From the New York Times. !

can ounce of preveL ton Is worth a
pound of cure, ;" and as just at this time
so many people are seeking recreation in
the country, it is wise to have ones eyes
about one. A gay party hire horse
and wagon to take drive. The man
who has to handle the reins, who never
saw the horse before, jumps into the
vehicle without look at the harness.
Now, it has entirely escaped his notice
that trace is just on the point of rup-
ture, or that the breeching is held to-
gether by a rotten lace All goes along
pleasantly enough, for the horse is a
hack beast-a real screw-and too wise
to indulge in any eccentricities. By and
by a steep hill is reached, and you have
never been there before. The horse is
working cautiously for the descent is
rapid, when snap goes the rotten leather,
and spill is the consequence, which,
fortunately, rarely comes to more than
discontinue of the mans trousers or
the soiling of the woman's dress. An
other fruitful source of accidents arise
from the bad build of country vehicles.
Unused during the winter, they are
worked to death in the summer. A SEN
sible man before he uses country buggy
ought to take in at glance the nuts and
bolts Of the trap. A loose nut, that only
wants the turn of a wrench to insure
safety, may, from neglect, bring pleas
ure party to sudden grief. Above all,
be watchful as to the hind seat on such
occasional vehicles. The back seat is a
snare and delusion. Place two per-
sons with an average avoirdupois on that
seat and unless it is securely fixed by
screws and bolts there are many chances
that by sudden jerk away goes that
support and you are tumbled backward
on your back or head in the road. A
case has just come to notice where a
woman falling is just such a way from
the back of a wagon, will, unfortunately,
be paralyzed for life. Half the accidents
in life could be prevented ifpeople would
only keep their eyes about them and not
trust too implicitly to things just as they

MA PETITE.

In your rambles did you meet
With her hghtly-tripping feet?
With her wind-blown, tangled hair
With her cheeks like roses fair?
An, her face is rarely sweet,
Laughing. roguish, gay Petite
Half her charm I may not tell,
For my pulses bound and swell
AS watch her starry eyes
In their merry, shy surprise,
Bent upon my moving pen,
Till turn and smile, and then,
All, what words can paint the sweet,
Tender joy of fair Petite7
Soft she stands, with folded hands,
Weekly waiting my commands;
Then will gai4y kiss my face
With her dainty, airy grace,
Lightly laughing at restraint
Pouting if make complaint.

Roguish, winsome, gay Petite.
