From the investigations of natural

given of trout, domesticated in an

The smallest bird of America is the
humming-bird; and of Europe the
golden-crested wren. The smallest
quadruped in the world is the pygmy-

The best mats for covering hot

quality, tied with tarred spun-yarn,
which may be bought of any cord

cheaply made, and no covering so
effectually protects the hot-beds from

last for several years.
Recent evidence seems to indicate

The dest man in the world, accord
ing to his own story, is negro named
Santa Quanta, who lives in Archer,
Florida. He claims to be 130 years
old. He was born in western Africa
and lived there until he was old
enough to have a full beard on his
face He was then bought by slave
dealers and brought to this country.
He has had FIVE wives and four chill
dren He has never been sick, and
still has his full set of teeth. They
are worn down to the gums. He
wears a No. II shoe and has a frame
which indicates that in his prime he
stood over six feet high He has a

Smith, Mungo Park and others will
readily recall to the minds of readers.
