Feathered Friends at Sea.

Birds at sea, whether wild in the air or
tame on board, are of far more value to
man than too many care to think. For my
self, apart from all feeling agains. unneces-
sarily destroying anything that has Gods
life in it, | have ever arrested mere wanton
sport at sea. If, however, for any useful
ness, the ease is different. But the mere
killing for killings sake, or from Thought
less or reckless whim, is to me distasteful.
The pleasure of watching birds at sea.
whether in the air or skimming the ocean
waves crest, is to many minds very keen.
And there is something more, too, to be
considered. Mariners can often tell their
way by these birds, especially when near
ing coast well remember how used
to watch for them on approaching certain
coasts, such as parts Of Patagonia, too low
to be seen at the ordinary distance. Once,
when coming from Monteyideo, with a mail
and important Government dispatches on
board for the Falkland Islands, | was able
to run on my course in safety owing to
particular bird having joined company with
us On the occasion refer to, we were
approaching the land in thick misty weather
with strong fair breeze. 1t had been
clouded over for day or two, 50 that my
solar observations were somewhat doubtful
was anxious, for il was drawing toward
evening. and | wished to get into Port
Stanley with the mail that night 1t was,
however, so thick that we could not see a
mile ahead. Presently, shrill noise was
heard, tapping of wings made us look
round and above, and soon we saw what
we called the pilot bird, / knew my
distance now, for these birds never fly be-
yond so many miles from land Therefore,
We cautiously ran till l caught glimpse of
bluff cape, then steered more easterly,
ill after dark. With clearer night, sight

India shawls.

II i rather remarkable, and certainly
worthy Of note. that progressive textile m
dustries have never been able 20 produce the
slights=s improvement in the manufacture
of India shawls These shawls have been
worn by ROYALTY, nobility, and the mODeyed
arissoersey ever since Napoleon introduced
them into Europe by sending one TO Jo-
--.phine. At once the elegant and artistic
French awarded the first rank ia expen-
sivc dressing to India shawiS. which posi-
tion they have ever retained throughout
the civilized world II IS astonishing what
perfection wsts from the first acquired in the
manufacture Of cashmere shawls, wrought
by a raoe elassed as inferior, and laying sso
claims TO superiority in any Of their pro
ductions. vet giving 20 the world style of
garment that has commanded the praise
from the mo~t enlightened and dehed the
rivalry Of MASTER textile producers.
The history of India shAwls Is ffanght
with much that i romantic. The process
or manufacture Is exceedingly interesting
the work i greatly subdivided, and Is slow
ly accomplished Each loom Is estimated
70 llAAc an AhtA1~t NtslAN ftt0ANAoA "
Eve shawls The woOl Is made Of the IN
ner hair Of the Thibet goat; it IS eleansed
in nee water to give il additional strength,
and Is spun By women who are poorly paid.
..Nakask, the designer, coReeives the pat
tern, aud the overseer Of the shop decides
the colors. The work is then given out in
pieces. and when finished they are so neat
ly joined together you cannot detect the
seams. There Is a marvellous beauty in the
shading of the dyes and artistic tracing Of
the designs; the juxtaposi,iOn Of tones gives
a color picture exclusive in tone and one OF
artistic elegance.
Fashion has never repclled these wonder
ful shawls; they are always appreciated, and
their appearance Is indicative Of wealth.
Hence money invested in genuine cash
mere shawl is well put out, and does not
loose its value. of late years native India
shawlmakers have been imported to repair
shawls and change eenters to suit individual
taste. The India shawl trade is very ex-
tensiyely carried on in America; the impor-
tations to New York are ON scale of great
magnitude Trade in this line has been
unusually brisk this season.

Mining in Hot Places.

If there are to be found anywhere in the
world a set of human salamanders, we may
claim the credit of having them here on the
Comstock. What would scorch man who
lives wholly on the surface chills a miner
Injured to the heat of the lower levels A
miner who has been for some months past
working in one of the hottest sections of
the Comstock, day or two since gave a
reporter his experience of the heat which
miners are often called upon to encounter
He says that in working at points where
the thermometer marks lis to 120 degrees
great thirst is experienced. No ice water
is too cold to be swallowed with relish
Men 20 to the water barrel in which huge
chunks of ice are floating about, and with
their picks chop up the ice in order that
the water may be rendered colder by being
filed with fine fragments. Often this does
not satisfy them and they chew and swallow
humps of ice.
The natural temperature of the human
body-of the blood-is about ninety-eight
degrees. Fahrenheit, therefore. when man
remains in a hot place for an hour, or even
half an hour, his blood, and his whole body,
becomes heated to the temperature of 115
to l20 degs., or whatever may be the tenn
perature of the place in which he is at work.
1t is then the miner begins to pour down
ice water and eat Ice. The strangest thing
about the business is that it does not hurt
anv Of the men. Often they swallow such
quantities of ice water that their stomachs
will not retain it, Al they do on such oe-
casions Is to swallow more of the same
water, but more cautiously.
When the men are working in extreme
ly hot places the temperature Of the place
Ia which they come TO cool oif-the cooling
of stations probably 100 degrees This
temperature-whieh would almost roast a
surface man-appears cool to man who
has come from place where the thermom-
eter marks 10 TO lis degrees. In a place
where the temperature Is ninety the man
will feel 50 cold as to shiver Often at the
eooling-oif station, where the temperature
Is 100 degrees, the perspiration will cease
and the man viii begin to feel very uneom-

as the perspiratioh begins To start, there Is
for minute or two an intolerable itching
over the whole body As each closed

fiow Of perspiratiss. all this trouble ceases,
and the man fcclS quite comfortable and 80
remains until his whole body--blocd, flesh

The Kind of Husband.

If you cannot find gentleman to marry,
girls, do not marry at all. BY that term
do not mean a man who is above the need
of work he may be anything but a gentle
man, but a man who knows how to work,
who has self-rsspect enough to keep him
from low habits, both of speech and action;
who Is courteous and honorable who is not
afraid of soiling his hands the farmer, the
blacksmith, the carpenter, any man may be
a gentleman under dust and SCOT and chips,
but if he is not, girls, don't marry him
There is enough trouble in this life without
increasing it in any way, Dot hot subject

sure to come with husband who would
continually cause you to blush for his

The wonderful Crystal wedding.

ne WOnQcI1u1 VI SbeAA "
'Tis time for our crystal wedding,
said Mr.. Frost to his wife,
With a sudden sharp expression,
That cut like a two-edged knife.
'The North Wind must be invited
To bring his friend from the East,
And none Of our friends must be Sighted,
Or fail to appear at the feast.
So then they began TO make ready
With speed, regardless of cost,
For the beautiful crystal wedding
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Frost
The North and the East Wind called for
Miss Snow and old Mister Sleet,
And all of that party together
Were sure to have things complete,
In honor of the occasion,
The houses with fringe they drape,
Rich beads and bugles Of crystal
Suspended in every shape.
While all the poles and the ehimneys
Were dressed in transparent suits,
And the trees were overloaded
With loveliest glazed fruits.
The Telegraphs were invited
So out of town couldn't go;
And the Telephones failed to answer
When any one cried "HelloFv
The magnates were not forgotten.
Who stand in serene repOse,
And Franklin made his appearance.
With an ieicle on his nose.
There were acres on acres OF icing.
And wonderful rivers and lakes;
Most beautiful caves and grottoes,
And delicate frosted cakes:
While cobweb curtains suspended
Above the scene, in mid-air,
Lent charm to the crystal wedding.
That proved such grand affair
Decanters and tumblers, engrayen
With initials Of old Jack Frost
Were scattered about in profusien-
No telling Just what they cost:
And couldn't begin to number
How many from out Of town
Came in TO This crystal wedding.
And at the banquet sat down.
Old sos got wind Of the matter
Just as he was going 20 bed,
And out from between the curtains
He suddenly popped his head
And smiled, as with glowing fingers
He took Jack Frost by the ears.
Aud loosened the pearls and diamonds
That straightway dissolved In tears
Soon faded the lovely picture,
The limpid and sparkling sheen,
That seemed to our naptured vision
Like unto fairy scene;
And some win remember the beauty,
And some viii remember the eost
