their high seats among the trees, the
effect of this horde of parasites and air
plants is always peculiar in the ex.
tremc. The parasites are often beauti-
full, yet their presence occasionally de-
tracts from the beauty of tree, and the
thing grows ludicrous when you catch
sight of some huge plant just balancing
itself, with seeming difficulty on loose
piece of bark that its own rank roots
have displaced while it sought iirmer
footing, till now it hangs trembling on q
single tiny straining thread. Even when
one has grown familiar with it all it
still remains an enchanted land. One

The Iuquisitive Fisherman.

Once there was a fisherman
Who went to catch some fish:
He took with him basket
And a little china dish.
"Tll use one for the fishes,
The other when sup;
For, II they meet my wishes,
I'll cook and eat them up!"
He flshed and fishe1 the whole day long,
From morn TIL late AZ night;
He baitcd hooks ana watched his bob,
But could not get bite.
Hc then threw down his rod and line,
And vowed he'd 80 below,
To find out what the reason was
The fish had used nm SO.
The Ash all gathered round him,
Each waggiug his own tail,
From the little poilN-woggy
To the great gigantic whale,
Some fish were looking sCuS,
And some exceeding thin,
But all were al 70 see the man,
And offered him attn.
They said: "Wo have no china dish:
Nor basket snug and tight,
But we are very prudent fish,
Who think before we bite.
We do not need to cool, our prize
Ere we sit down ana sup
And so, before ms very eyes,
They ate That fisher up.

Hide and Horn Furnilure.

In the Spanish sections of North and
South America, the first thing which
strikes the stranger about the household
is the picturesque and unique furniture
of native manufacture. There are some
objects Of factory make. imported, but
these are more for show than use. The
staple furniture OF 4 Spanish-American
house is part of the country itself.
You suspend your sombrcro (hroad
brimmcd haO at the door on hat rack
made OF the straight stem of Il mimoSa
or some other rough parked tree, with
polished horns for pegs. You rest your
saddle bags on II stool made Of BAMBOO
or Embarked branches, with n seat of
rawhidc, the hairy side out. Your host
receives you, rising from IN armchair
constructed of three splendid bull 5
horn, fastened to 4 rough cylinder of
wood. with rawhidc stretched between
the horns to form the seat and arms.
The abundance of cattle in these coun-
tries has brought the ingenuity OF the
natives into exercising itself To utilize
the products of the herds, and the re-
suit is the various forms of domestic
furniture. 4 peculiarly of all Spanish
American furniture is the absence of
metal in its construction. Wooden pegs
are used instead of nails to fastcn the
horns to the wood, but the manufacture
cr appears to have Il rooted objection
even to the use of these. He relies prin-
cipally on the leathcrn thongs with
which he scws and ties everything to-
gethcr. And even his knots are pecu-
liar. They are never the hard knots
we commonly use, but an iutcrtwisting
of the thong or cord such a is popular
with sailors. These knots or twists vary
with the countries in which they are
found. Knots used in Southern Califor-
MIA. Arizona and New Mexico are diff
fercnt from those of Old Mexico, while
in Central or South America nearly cv
cry state has different method of max
ing them. But wherever or however
the furniture is made, il is very durable.
They were not new when he bought
them, and they have been in constant
use since. needing only an occasional bit
of cord or nail, to keep them sound.

Parasites that Thrive on Dead Trees.

There are parasites, SO called, which
flourish just rs well upon a dead tree
as any other support, thus proving they
are epiphites and not true parasites.
The roots adhere to the bark of trees
and do not penetrate to rob the life
blood of others. Not content with this
existence. other plants of this strange
class draw to themselves atom after at
ON of dust and mold, so that they wrap
around their roots and their elevated
perches handful after handful of earth,
and still gorging as the appetite grows
stronger. they share the common fate
of gluttony and come toppling down.

Mr.. and Mrs, John W, Maokey.

The Brooklyn Eagie'S MAN about
Town." says in relation to the report
that Mr.. and Mrs. Mackey intended to
come to New York:
With q slight change this information
has been conveyed TO the great North
American people annually for five or
six years. 1t is just beginning It's rounds
for the season. The Mackcy family viii
not come to New York just yet, as Mrs.
Mackcy is too much enrapturcd with
Partisan life to leave. Her position in
Paris is unique and secure. She is al
ready Il famous woman in Europe, and
the limitless wealth of her husband en-
ables her to keep up her prestige, She
would as soon think of living in Nir-
ginia City as in New York, when she
can keep up with the procession in
Paris. She is also very anxious to make
Il brilliant match for her daughter Miss
Mackcy, who has been old enough to
vote for ut least two seasons To my per-
sonal knowledge. She is not the own
daughter of John w Mackev, by the
way. 1t is not generally known that she
is his Step-daughtcr, but such is the fact.
When Mackey was rcd-Shrtcd miner
living from hand To mouth and pros
pccting for gold in the wiDds of Caifor-
MIA. some years ago, he had a pal who
was known rs DIR Thompson. Mack
cv and his pal worked together for some
years, then they struck Il small dead
which developed into Il modest fortune,
and Thompson sent on to the East and
brought out his wife and daughter. BY
the time they had arrived in California
both Mackcy and his partner had spent
all their money and were" clean broke"
So the two men went out prospecting
again. One day Thompson was injured
by falling rock and diedi the arms of
Mackcy The last thing he did was to
urge his friend to take care of his wife
and child. Mackey promised to do it.
He has done it in regal style for two
years later he married the widow of the

Mackey. She manages to melt the Boz

about as fast rs he can d. them out in

he associates with one man all the time.

A UELCOME.

Far in the sunny South she fingers,
Yet slowly comes along.
With fairy garlands in her fingers,
With snatChes of sweet song.
Her eyes With promises are beaming,
Her smiles will rapture bring.
The sunlight from her hair is streaming
Thrice welcome, lovely spring.
She brings us gifts, the royal maiden,
Fair lowers to deck the hills:
With primroses her arms are laden,
Blucbels and datiodils:
Pale crocuses have come before her,
Wild birds her welcome sing;
Ten thousand longing h arts adore her
The gray worlds darling, spring.
