day some months ago they were flying across
the Erie railroad track, when tn male bird was
struck by the smOkestack OF a locomotive. The
bird was killed and thrown out of the sight of
its mate, which crcled around the spot for few
minutes in evident amazement at the sudden
disappearance of her companion. She then few

uiterances to mournful notes. Suddenly she
seemed TO realize what had taken her mate from
her, and flew in the direction the train had gone,
returning at noon. She then alighted at the
cote, where she remained the rest of the day,
uttering her plaintge cries. Next morning she
was seen to fly away aud take her position at
the milepOsr, the SPOT where she had last
seen her mate. When the express train came
along she flew at the locomotive ard circed
about he smukestack and the cab, as If looking
for her mate. She followed the train for mile
or more and then returned. Every day she
peated her strange actions, taking her place a t

morning and awaiting the coming OF the train,
when she would return to her cote Or Satur-

The Christmas number of Life issued this
week, is the best illustrated weekly of the sea-
son. Not that it is elaborate or gorgeous, but
that it's designs are simply and indisputably the
best and most original. This new venture has
fully sustained itself, and is now an established
institution in our periodic literature.
The Century for January has for its frontis-
piece a very fine portrait of General W. I. Sher-
man, which looks ''every inch the soldier" The
opening article, richly illustrated from the
abundant material at hand, is on the old town of
Edinboro, with all it's quaint architecture, pic
turesQuely perched on the cliffs that rise 10 the
summit of Castle rock. The story OF THE
read-winners," which has attracted much
attention, concludes in this issue, "Tne forty
immortals," with ten portraits, gives instruct
i've view OF the men who constitute the French
Institute. The other features of the number are
all that could be desired.
