EXTINCTION OF GREAT BIRDS.

1t is q noteworthy fact that some OF
the great birds most interesting to nat
uralists have become extinct, apparent
ly within the memory of man, and even
within two centuries. OF these birds,
perhaps the most famous was the dodo
(Didus ineptus), which was an inhabit-
ant of the Mauritius island, and, at the
time of its discovery, in 1898, it was ex-
tremely common but so effectually has
it been eradicated that it is now only
represented by few pictures of the
seventeenth century, and two heads, q
foot, few feathers and some of its
bones that are scattered about among
the museums of Continental Europe.
From the pictures above mentioned,
and the descriptions of the early voy-
ayers, it appears that tits giant among
pigeons was large, bulky bird, weigh
ing seventy-five pounds. Its bill was
long and strong, and the upper part Of
the mandible was SO horny, arched,
hooked and ferocious in appearance that
its discoveries for long time consid-
cred it a ground vulture. Its body ter
minated in a rounded extremity, being
destitute of true tail feathers, having q
tuft of plumes to take the place.
From Madagascar we have the re-
mains of eggs that We're found among
human implements that were a good
lift for two men, and that, after being
cut in two, were probably used as ves-
sells for holding water. their capacity
being several gallons. The hen that
laid these monster eggs is unknown to
science, but must have been wondrous
spectacle. Two other birds, the soil
taire and nazarene, have also become
extinct within the traditions of man.
The former attained weight Of forty
five pounds, had feet and beak like o
turkey, but in no other respects resem-
bled the didus above mentioned. The
plumage was of browish-gray color,
and, according to Legnat, they pro-
duced noise like rattle by futtering
their wings, which he says were en-
larged at the extremity of the bone into
round knob like musket ball. The
nazarene had only three toes, and from
Its bones we judge that it was thrice as
large as the didus.
Even as recently as fifty years ago q
large bird, forty inches in length, called
the great aux, was occasionally found as
far south as Boston, and was quite COM
mon in the Arctic region. To-day not
single specimen is known to exist In
the world, having become totally ex-
tinct, bat by what means will always
remain an enigma. Very few specimens
OF it are known, and only one skin is on
exhibition in this country; this was
purchased by gentleman in New York
at cost of $3.50 in gold.

A Singular BIT Of History.

Commodore John Marsden, the Oldest
naval officer, We believe, i'll the United
States service, related the following sim
plllar incident Of the Revolutionary war
to friend, lately:
"When the American army was al
Cambridge. n Young, shrewd- looking
man from Canada Offered his services to
Washington as Grtilleri4t Washington
told him he had 40 need Of him. as he
had 10 guns The stranger told him
that if he would give lin two hundred
picked men, he woall supply him with
artillery General Washington closed
with the offer.
"The stranger, with lis men, cap
tured the guns at dtpots in Canada, and
in a short time lie, with lis cannon, was
safely back in New York State. Leav-
ing his military escort t. bring on the
guns, the artillerist set off Mt full speed
to carry the news to General Washing
ton. That night storm overlook him,
and he lodged il a g-cahin, the farmer
and his wife and children occupying the
bed, while he slept i? lis hla'tet before
the kitchen fire. After midnight another
knock was heard, and he rose to admit
another belated traveller, a young man
with handsome, ingenious, but some
what weak countenance.
"The two lay down on the hearth to-
gether, and becoming interested in each
other conversed Until daylight. At dawn
they parted. going il different directions,
They did not meet Ggaia until 17S0.
The artillerist was Major General Henry
Knox, and he took part ill the trial Of
the other, Major john Ans,rc, who was
hung as spy"
Commodore Mars;len heard the story
from Admiral Paulding, whose father
aided in the arrest of Andre, and also
from the son of Knox, who had frequent
ly heard his father narrate it.

TREES ron OINTMENT AND saiDE
Cottonwood, balm Of Gilcad, all kinds
Of Willows and poplars, should be dis
carded in selecting trees TO plant by the
side Of roads. They have. nothing to
commend them but their quick growth.
They throw out sprouts from the roots,
while their branches are exceedingly
liable to be taken off by the wind or by
accommodations of sleet. The common
locust is Objectionable ON account of the
many sprouts thrown out at the roots,
while the trunks are generally attacked
by the borers. The soft maplemakes a
rapid growth, and sometimes becomes a
beautiful tree, but it is generally infest-
ed with borers, while it suckers badly,
and the limbs frequently break off by
the action of winds and sleet. During
the past few years the presence of worms
on willow trees makes them exceedingly
undesirable. The characteristics desired
In street trees are hardness, freedom
from sprouts and suckers, fine and
abundant foliage, general cleanliness,
and strength Of trunk and limb. These
desirable qualities are found united in
the elm and sugar or rock maple. They
are only Objectionable ON account OF
their slow growth. The different varie-
ties of the ash are all excellent, while
there are few objections to the European
larch, the horse chestnut, the American
linden or Eastwood, wild cherry, and the
ash-leaved maple.
Elms and sugar naples grow so
slowly that at least twenty years must
pass before they present the fine appear
ance of stately trees. They should be
planted ct least thirty or forty feet
apart to allow their branches sufficient
room when the trees become of large
size. 1t is accordingly advisable to
plant trees between them that will serve
the purpose of ornamentation till the
elms and naples become of considerable
size. The larch, horse-chestnut and
birch can be used for this purpose to
excellent advantage. Clumps of dog
wood, sumac, elderberry, lilac and
SNOWFALL will also make very fine ap-
pearance. Very beautiful street orna-
ments can also be made of wild vines
attached to suitable supports. The
common American ivy, wild grape, Bit
ter sweet, and wild honeysuckle are all
admirable for this purpose. They are
entirely hardy, can be obtained without
expense, and require very little care.
The supports should be made of strong
and enduring material. A cedar post of
good size and length will last twenty
five years if the lower portion of it is
treated with coal tar. This can form
the main support. Strong wire or iron
rods can be employed for holding up
the vines in the positions desired. -

TIE BLUE SATIN BOOTS.

There was q church fair and festival
on hand ut Waynesville, and all the
young ladies were in state of feminine
dutter.
Pretty brown-eyed Jenny Carson had
one Of the fancy tables. She had also a
new dress for the occasion. The soft,
shining folds of dark blue silk were
draped over the bed, and Jenny was
kneeling upon the floor, arranging the
loops Of satin ribbon to her taste, when
Miss Bell Dorsey, who was Jenny's most
intimate friend, burst into the room.
"0h, what pretty dress, Jenny |!
You'll look ravishing in it. You only
need pair of blue satin boots to match
1t, and then you'll be the best dressed
girl at the festival"
"But-satin boots arevery expensive"
said Jenny, hesitatfngly.
"Oh, well, yes, somewhat. But
there's nothing sets off lady's appear
ance like nice shoes and gloves. I heard
On. Chester say he never considered a
lady well dressed if she wore ill-ftting
boots or gloves" And Miss Bell COM
placently crossed her own pretty French
kids, while Jenny nervously put away
the pretty silk.
What DR.. Chester sid was beginning
to be matter of some moment to jenny
Carson. She was conscious of longing
for the blue boots ; but alas they were
too expensive for her.
Miss Bell presently took her leave, and
Jenny, with half her pleasure spoiled,
went on with her preparations
"Well, daughter, said her father at
the dinner-table, "do you need any fall
lals for your frolic tomorrow"
Yes, I do need some new shoes, and
some gloves" said Jenny.
"You do, Ell? Well, what must I
give you to buy them WITH"
Whatever you can spare, papa"
"Well, here's $40 bill. guess that
viii be enough. Get a good, sensible
pair now, something to keep you warm
this cold weather, and no fimsy things"
Yes, sir. Thank you, papa. I'll do
the best I can," said Jenny; but she
blushed, for In her heart she felt very
guilty.
However, she did mean to buy pair
Of warm kid boots for everyday wear.
She hoped to get the blue ones for about
q, which would leave her enough for
the others, and for the gloves.
But when she stood in Turner'S store
and asked the price of the dainty, shiny
things offered her, the clerk promptly
answered 81, Miss Carson.
"Oh, dear I was in hopes they were
cheap" frankly confessed Jenny laying
down the boots.
"Indeed, they are cheap" said the
clark. ST assure you, Miss Carson, we
have sold these right along at So. This
h the last pair, so we offer them for
Less. They're very fine"
"Yes, admitted Jenny
Nothing sets off dainty foot like
pair Of these dainty boots" pursued the
WHY clerk, with an eye for his trade.
Every few young ladies could wear so
small shoe--just your size, you see,
