The Humaling Bril-.

Costly sitting in the very finest little
nest, SO soft and elastic that even the
delicate plumage is unru fed by contact
with its moss covered sides, we find our
humming bird. High on the gnarled
and twisted branch of do ywood she
has built this fairy home, and there n.
with the overaanging leaves for can
opy. the little svlph is brood ng. How
shall l describe the cunning little
structure? A few weeks ago the build
ing it was commenced, but on such 4
small scale that the foundation was
lad ere the site was discovered by us.
SOFT puts from the blossoms of oak
ald chestnut, bits of the softest brown
fungus, and scraps of gray MOSES that
grow in secret places known only to
these little fairies, were worked into the
walls, and gradually the little cup-like
hous, approached completion. Little
flakes of lichen and bark, veritable
diminutive clapboardS, were next add
ed. and the task was finished. There
it rests, its mOsSy covering harmon ing
so well with the tree bark as to conceal
it from all but the closest observer, and
often, though knowing its location so
wei, have missed it for an instant. SO
cunningly is it placed. A dead twIg
pro. ects from the branch few inches
to one side, and here the little wood
sprites frequently perch. There is the
male nov. his ruby throat all ablaze as
asunbeam covers him for an Instant with

side her he is evidently telling her
where her breakfast is waiting in the
trumpet flower he tapped for her last
night, and which is hall filled with nee
tar this morning, accumulated drop by
drop during the cool hours of darkness.
Like flash she is of. and he takes her
place, to keep the chill from the tiny
eggs. These fraii little creatures have
gradually become accustomed 10 my
presence. At first they were nervous,
and would cease work, while one or the
other would dart down 10 within five or
six feet of me, and there, poised on its
whirring wings, closely inspect the in
truder, uttering the while sundry peeps
and curious little cries. Now that they
are convinced that no harm is Intended
they do not even leave the nest at my
approach. What dream life is theirs.

Justice in TuniS

During our stay in Tunis we visited
the Court of Justice. In this bu lding
was the common prison; here i'm an i'm
mense room were a large number OF
prisoners accused waiting for trial aud
those sentenced for life. They all eat
and sleep here and are not allowed to
leave the room, though they may re-
reive visits from theIc friends at any
time. Here We were accusted bv a
yeung Moor in a great state Of agita-
ton. His story was, that hearing OF
the ARRIVAL of the yacht he had
fastened down to Goletto to offer his
services to us as a guide, and that be-
inc unsuccessful he had proceeded to
get intoxicated and had assaulted a
p1liceman: that he was now awaiting
trial and that he might be confined for
years before his case was tried. We
found afterward that this stateme 1T
was true, some accused persons spend

Wheat Harvest in California.

California, having, like the tropical
countries. only two seasons. is peculiar
ly adapted to the culture of wheat in its
interior valleys. The valley of the San
Joaquin with the Sacramento furn shes
some of the largest wheat fields in the
United States, being rivalled only by
those of the Red alley. The soil is
what is called "adobe," which when
wet becomes very sticky, and on dry
ing becomes like stone. Roads almost
impossible in the wet season become in
summer as hard and smooth as the
finest macadamized roads. Crops
other than wheat can not be raised ex-
cept by irrigation As the wheat is
fully grown by the time the dry season
commences, it is very nice to have the
grain ripened sufficiently dry for
threshing at the time it is cut. Com
bined machines for cutting and thresh-
ing wheat at the same time are increas-
ing in number very fast.
On reaching grain fields ones atten-
ton is drawn to an OBJ ct which has an
appearance similar f. house of small
size moving by its own power through
the field. which stretches as far as one
can see in all directions. On its near
approach it is found that instead of
moving by its own force it is propelled
by twenty very large mules, which
were hidden behind its huge proper
tions. The mules are fastened In two
lines, ten abreast, to long viii fetrees
attached to heavy timber, at
the back end of which is the wheel
which steers the machine. AS one
sits on top of the machine and looks be-
hind he sees the ears and backs of the
mules, and it seems much like putting
the cart before the horse. a habit the
people have here. The pilot sits in
front of the wheel steering, and the
sensation to a passenger is as if at sea,
except az the crack Of the whip warns
some laggard mule TO move faster.
Close to the knives stands man
who raises or lowers them according as
the grai n is tall or not, as all that il
wanted is to cut just below the heads.
Passing by an endl IS belt the heads
are carried to the cylinder or picker
the grain is threshed, and through set
of sleeves is cleaned and sent along by a
set of scoops to the sack sewer, who
fills the sacks. Then sewing them.
they are ready for market, and sliding
down an inclined plane lie ready for
the wagon, on which they are carried
to pie of other sacks all ready to be
hauled to market. As the price at
present is very low, only Sl.35 per
