NOTHING so scandalous was ever known
in the gossip of public life in this county
as the mean insinuations of the scurrilous
English prints occasioned by tho good
queens faithful devotion to her loyal
gillie John Brown. What more natural
than that in her desolate widowhood she
should turn dependently aud even lean
trrstfully ON the old servant whom possibly,
alone of her attendants and counsellors,
she could implicitly trust and in whose
utter unselfishness she could rely? To the
decency and credit of American journal
ism be it noted that the filings and asper.
sions of her own subjects of tho harpy
press have found little responsive echo on
this side Of the water.
| a BRILLIANT contemporary argues that
| the European nations could not afford tC
disband their huge standing armies be-
cause the three million soldiers could
not find employment if they were turned
out Of their vocation. Neither tho me-
chanic arts nor agriculture need, or coule
employ, these legions for the increased
production would at once break the marke
for wares and food, and SO react on tb'
general welfare by unsettliug values i,
every direction" If the nations burdenet
with the support of these legions can affOrt
to keep them in idleness they could still
better manage to support them when the.
were turned to active productive pursuits
The masses of tho European countries ar
weighed down with tho burden of keeping
up the standing armies, aud their estab
lishment is a constant menace to peace ant
provocatiOn to war.

Bird Architects.

Doves, in the construction of their
nests, display a great apparent careless
ness or want of skill. The coarse sticks
that compose their nests are so loosely
thrown together that one would hardly
believe they could hold the eggs. This
is evidently q provision of nature to
secure the young from vermin, like the
practice of woodpeckers of laying their
eggs on the bare wood. A similar i'm
perfection of structure marks the nests
of some of the larger birds. But why
should certain species be endowed with
this conservative instinct, while in
others it is entirely wanting2 BY care
full observation we find reason for
it. The woodpeckers lay their eggs
on the bare wood that vermin may not
find harbor in the material of nest /;
but when a wren or chickadee takes
possession of one of these vacated
holows it fills it with materials that are
fitted to harbor swarms Of vermin, but
each of these birds feeds on the
minutest crawling insects, and with its
microscopic vision can easily destroy
all that enter its abode. wilson

By far the grandest of the tidal spec
tacles of Fundy is the sudden rise of
the waters in bore or tidal breaker.
At MoncktOn, New Brunswick. twenty
five miles from the Bay of Chignecto,
and on river of name as big as its
tides, the writer had an opportunity
two or three evenings ago to see the
bore by bright moonlight. On the
wharves, at 9 30 in the evening, had
gathered large crowd, drawn thither
partly by the coming bore, partly by
the seductive rays of the full moon. The
tide in the river-at Monckton about o
quarter of a mile wide-was still run
ming out sluggishly, more than thirty
feet below the level of the wharf All
at once far down stream came distant
rumbling like the sound of railroad
train. A few minutes and dark line
crossed the river in the distance. The
line grew to q foamy wall three feet
high, swept up the naked flats, and, in
a wild reach of white pillows preceded
by breaker, passed us upstream. The
waters behind rose six feet instantly,
and where before had been lazy down
ward current was raging sweep of
direction. At many places, particularly
on the flats below Truro, n. S., on the
Basin of Minas, the bore is much grand
er than at Monckton. Sometimes it is
eight feet high, and travels fifteen miles
an hour. Large fish-cod, shad and
even the strong salmon--are occasion
ally dashed up by it lifeless on the
shores. 1t has been known to drown
cattle, to wreck large, laden schooner,
and to toss a craft as heavy as pilot
boat high on the banks, upside down.
Hogs roofing for CLANS on the sand
slopes have an instructive inkling of its
far-distant coming, and run grunting to
high land. Not uncommonly the bore
is followed up by focks of sea-birds.
seeking small fish, and one bold species
of the curlew variety has been seen
caught in the boiling comb when rising
from behind the breaker to seek again
its prey in front.
Scientific light on the origin of the
bore, or "eigre," as it is more technic-
! ally called, is rather dim. Maury and
Austed describe bores without explana-
ton. Herschel and Sommerville ex-
plain them, the one as rush of swift
as the resultant of n tide rising rapidly
at a spot where the restraining friction
of the bottom is excessive. Perhaps we
can Mt once harmonic and illustrate
both explanations by imagining a pail of
water dashed suddenly over smooth
floor, and the little breaker created in
front of the tiny tide as analogous to
the bore which sweeps over the upper
flats of Fundy. Bores, however, are
rare tidal cuiosities, apparently only
possible where the fiercest tides meet
peculiar conformations of coast. More
famous than those at Fundy are the
bores in the Chinese River Tsientang,
the East Indian River Hoogly and the
Amazon, Some of which attain a height
of thirty feet, and q speed of twenty-five
miles an hour The speed of the Monck-
ton bore was about that of fast run
ner At times the bores of the Bay of
Fundy are followed quickly ny second
and third tidal breakers of lesser height.

Fish Food.

The Fish Commissioner has done
much toward increasing and dissemin-
ating this class of food throughout the
country. The trouble has been to get
a fish adapted to the necessities of all
sections. The evidence is accommodating
to prove that in the German carp we
have Foolish capable of furnishing
almost unlimited supplies at very little
cost. This fish is of especial value to
farmers, as it will live in ponds which
become so warm that no other fish can
exist in them. 1t is unnecessary to en-
large upon the added comfort it would
be to a farmer if he could go out and
take from his pond five or six-pound
carp which would give him and his
family a good dinner. Any ordinary
pond will do for carp. An excavation
In the course of creek, damned at
the lower end with grating so that
flood will not carry the fish away, an
swers perfectly. The carp will eat al
most anything, and pond of four
square rods in extent will furnish all
the fish-food family wants. Carp
grow from the egg to three pounds in
one year. They multiply rapidly,
single female yielding half million
eggs in a year. They spawn in May
and June. In the winter they burrow
in the mud and remain dormant,
neither making nor losing growth. In
the spawning season they must he fed,
or they will destroy the spawn. At
other times they need not be fed unless
there are so many of them in the pond
that the aquatic vegetation and supplies
brought down by the feeding stream
are insufficient. There is scarcely
doubt that a carp-pond would be
profitable adjunct to nearly every farm.

Shores of snow and summer heats
Paint the woods with wampum dyes,
have chased the flying sun,
Seeing all he looked upon
Blessing all that he has blest-
Nursing in my iron breast
Ali his viyitying heat,
All his clouds about my crest;
And before my flying feet
Every shadow must retreat.
Said the Western Engine, "Phewi'
And long, low whistle blew,
~Come, now, really that's the oldest
Talk for one so very modest
You brag of your East2 You dot
Why, I bring the East TO youl

And the sun you follow here
Rises in my hemisphere.

I'll run over some director"
Said the Central: I'm Pacific,
But when riled I'm quite terrific,
Yet to-day we shall not quarrel
Just to show these folks this moral,
How two engines in their vision,
Once have met without collision"
This is what the Engines said,
Unreported and unread;
Spoken slightly through the nose,
With whistle at the close.
