To Frighton Birds.

Tn Cochin China, says a writer, birds
are frightened away from grain fields
and fruit trees. and foxes from poultry
houses, by the following device:
..Old bottles are taken, the mouths
corked; through the cork thread is
nassed with its end hanging down,
where small piece of board, slate, or
any other object presenting a surface
70 the wind is attached. At the height
of the thickest part of the bottle nail
is fixed in a way that the thread agi-
tated by the wind makes the nail beat
AGAINST the bottle like sounding bell.
After preparing a number of bottles in
this way strong wooden rods are
nlaced in the soil, and on their top
those bottles are put by means OF a
string fastened at the neck OF the
bottle. The arrangement then is in a
nosition similar to fishing rod placed
in the ground, on which the fish caugh'
would the piece of slate, while the
cork would be the bottle. Where there
are trees the scarecrow may be sus'
pended on slender branches, sometimes
on lower and again at other times OF
hjZ9eH ones. When the bottles are
unlike in size and shape the concert o.
sounds on them is often very pleas

To researches upon the best mode of
getting rid Of the insect-pests of the
grape, France appropriates again this
rear about $250000 According to the
last report of the Minister of Agricul-
ure, however, the ravages OF phylloxe
Ia are decreasing, only about 10000
acres Of vineyard having been destroy
ID last year. Though this is only half
he destruction of three years ago, it
represents an appalling loss, and to it
: largely to be attributed the iHcreas-
ed use Of adulterants. In the same
budget is recorded an appropriation OF
100000 for the killing of wolves.

horse can be taught anything. VIII
you explain?" "Why it is all clear.
When 1 say the right horse | mean
nag like this one here-a horse that
moves quickly, that keeps his eye con-
stantly on you, and understands your
motions. There are men, you know.
who are sluggish and dull of percep-
tion-what is called fat-witted-and
there are just that kind OF horses.
Such nag l could hardly teach to run
around the ring in the same time
that l could give an entire education
to an alert and intelligent animal.
Then there is another kind of horse
that may be intelligent enough, but
which will never suit me, and that is
vicious beast.
Some years ago among the best
known American equestrlans was Mr.
Levi J. North. | think he is living in
retirement in New York state now.
He was breaking a cream-colored stall
lion in the ring one morning while l
was standing outside chewing straw
and talking to some of the boys. The
beast was handsome and quick enough,
but was as vicious as hyena, and that
morning something had disturbed it in
he stable, so that when it danced into
| Il ring it's little black eyes glittered
like snakes | expected trouble. but
! North knew his business, and the resC
| of us contented ourselves with looking
on. [ had turned my head to say
something to one Of the boys when l
heard a Shrek. | wheeled around, ana
there was North whirling around that
stallion's head as boy whirls basket.
The beast had caught him with its
teeth by one wrist, and after couple
of whirls it sent him crashing through
the ropes on the other side Of the ring.
His wrist was broken, and he is Grip
pied to this day. No | thank you; no
vicious stallion for me.
'NoW, in teaching an animal TO PICK
up a handkerchief, for instance, let me
show you how the apple works. That
act is pretty well along-in the Sixth
Reader say; but my beginner here
will do it for you this once"
The trainer broke a small lus 'et
apple in two pieces, and wrapped one
of the pieces in his handkerchief. This
he placed to the horses nose long
enough for it to get the scent of the
apple, and then, walking to the Other
side of the ring, ne placed the handker-
chief and apple together on the saw
dust there The alerI animal watched
= him like a cat, and no sooner was tn
handkerchief on the ground than h
trotted to it, picked it up, and shook
,, until the apple became disengaged from
it's folds.

A Roby Of the Fourth Century.

During some excavations made in
the Rue Nicole, near Val-de-Grace,
about 1873 and 1879, a large quantity
oe pottery ware and many interesting
objects were discovered upon the site
of VIII lat proved to be an ancient Cal
lo-Ro'nan burial place. There were
disinterred 318 earthern vases of diff
ferent forms and sizes, few glass
yials and some thirty small utensils in
brass and iron, besides eighty-fve Ro-
man coins and some characteristically
formed skulls. But above all, there
was found very singular memento OF
the distant age. The accidental per-
collation. of q liquid deposit OF white
clay had reproduced the body OF bur
led infant in the same manner as at
present practised in the ruins OF POM
peii when search parties find cavities
in the lava that lead to the supposi-
tion shat some of the victims of the
catasthrope had lain therein and since
mouldered to dust. In the present
case the mould of the tiny body was
perfect. and formed an exact repro,
duction of little Partisan of the

she does not belong to the class OF

Turtle Soup for the Million.

The turtle is SO exceedingly prolific
hat if the eggs of only five females of
,he species could be protected from their
numerous enemies every year the Medi-
terranean would soon swarm with tur-
Ties. The turtle lays its eggs during
the night upon the beach, covers them
lightly with sand, and leaves them to
be hatched by the sun. Unfortunately
they are regarded as delicacy by the
inhabitants of the coast, who eat the
greater part of them, while many more
fall prey to dogs and other animals;
and of the young turtles which leave
The shell, the greater number are de-
voured on their way to the sea by the
innumerable wild fowl which flock
about the coasts OF the Mediterranean.
The creation of a few farms, as has
been proposed, would so favor the ma
turally rapid multiplication of the
species that turtle, instead of being the
luxury of the rich, might be seen on
Door mems tables, and sold at cheap
estaurants.
