Facts About Birds.

The Rev. Mr.. Wood, in a lecture de-
livered in Boston, treated on birds as
exhaustively as the limited time would
allow. He explained the peculiar struc-
ture of the skeleton, combining the
greatest strength with the least weight,
and described the peculiar breathiug APP
paratus, which also serves to increase the
buoyancy of the bird. The air even
enters the hollow bones of the limbs and
wings. He related, in illustration, an
anecdote of sportsman who, desiring to
put wounded bird out of pain as speed
lily as possible, held its head under water
for some minutes, but the creature re-
mained as lively as ever. Upon making
an examination it was found that one
of the large wing feathers had been shot
off, and that the bird had been breathing
through the quill. The vertebre of the
neck in all mammals are alike in number.
Those of birds vary from thirty in the
swan to nine in the common sparrow.
He gave a curious description of the
method by which birds of prey change
the focus of their eyes, which, as in the
case of the hawk and eagle, for instance,
are telescope when looking at objects at
a distance A hawk half "A mile in air
will discover a field mouse on the grounds
AS he rushes downward to seize his prey.
the form of the eye is changed so as TO
always keep the object within the focu,
of vision. Birds are analogous to rep
tiles in many points of their structure,
and it is thought by some that the deni-
zens of the air of the present have been
gradually developed from the reptiles of
the past AS compared with their bulk
birds are enormous eaters, the food con-
sumed largly going to the production Of

Phenomena of a Tornado.

Appalling accompaniments of the cy-
clone were perhaps never more complete
ly illustrated than in lizard county. The
course of the storm was from southwest
TO northeast, and commencing one and
half miles southwest of Melbourne. The
swath cut through the county is fifteen
miles in length. The width of its track
varies from two hundred Yards to three
quarters of mile. Eight or ten miles
away the cloud accompanying the tor
nado was observed to be of an inky black
color, boiling" and almost necessarily
illuminated by flashes of electricity
Five miles distant the same character of
boiling black cloud was seen to be fol-
lowed by long pillar of intense white
cloud. Nearer at hand the white cloud,
apparently driving the whirling black
one before it, defined itself as pillar of
fire.
In the midst of the storm the survivors
viewed the cone of the tornado as "A huge
ball of fire rolling along the ground. Mr..
S. b. Toler, of La Crosse, whose house
the tornado also destroyed, and being in
its very midst, details that the condition
of the center of the cyclone was that of a
system of fiery balls as large as ones
thumb, their multitude greater than any
human mind could conceive, and in that
apparent state of ignition hustling
through the air. This experience of Mr..
Toler is shared by others who were in its
midst, and almost every one wrecked in
the storm at La Crosse is tatooed with
bruises the size of a quarter and half dol
lar, which must have been done either
by a mass of pebbles heated to redness or
by small bodies of some kind having
force enough TO bruise but not to pene-
trate the skin.
AT the distance Of eight and ten miles
the flashes of electricity were so inces-
SAINT and the commotion of wind and
thunder, and possibly falling timber, as
to almost paralyze one with terror
Nearer at hand the sounds were magni-
fed tenfold, with also an additional ac-
compartment for the ears of those who
were first beyond the edge of the storm
of millions of exploding bombs and tor
pedoes. Little Rock Gazette.

HEALTH HINTS.

Scratches of all kinds are generally
painful. If the wound is made by a pin
a little poultice of bread and milk should
be applied for an hour OF so, and then
salve until it is healed.
One of the best ways to cure sore
throat is as follows: wiring a cloth out
of salt and cold water, and keeping it
quite wet bind tightly about the neck.
Cover this with dry cloth. 1t is best
to use this remedy in the night.
One of the most necessary helps to
health is keeping the feet warm. Very
few people are able to do this, especially
ladies, because they dread making their
feet large. But if they could once be
convinced of the many disfgurements
made by having cold feet, they would
gladly wear thick wooden stockings.
One of the best ways to cure a cold in
the head is as follows Take a glass of
hot lemonade. Then undress in warm
room, and sit with the body wrapped in
blanket and the feet in a tub of mus
tard and hot water. Get the body in a
good perspiration, and then 60 to bed,
after drinking more of the hot lemonade.
Wrap up warmly and go to sleep, and in
the morning your cold will have disap-
peared.
One physician reports II case of poison
ing from red stockings, and another fol
lows it up by case of poisoning from
blue stockings. In the last case the
trouble was manifested in the form of
pustulous skin eruptions on the legs of a
boy. 1t is important to remember that
the dye stuffs employed and the mate
rials used in the manufacture of hat
bands as well as of stockings are occa-
sionally of nature to produce skin
eruptions. The remembrance of this
will often serve to explain and relieve
skin eruptions which seem both obscure
and obstinate.-Dr. Foote'S Health Monthly.

Brown Stone.

"There's a gentleman said a dealer
in building stone, ''who has just ordered
a lot of brown stone for a house he is
building. l wonder what he would say
if l should tell him that he is merely
buying sections of an old mud fiat to
pile up. The poor Irish use peat and the
millionaire uses mud fiat, extra dry and
very ancient. All the brown stone, -
continued the dealer, "cOmes from what
we call the new sandstone, and it is
about as well represented in Connecticut
as anywhere. In parts of it you find the
tracks of huge animals that walked along
the shore millions of years ago; even the
rain drop and the smallest insect track
are preserved with as much accuracy as
if they were made only yesterday. In
fact, this brown stone represents the de-
posits of fresh water streams; it is the
beach and bottom, the sand that sifted
down and gradually hardened in untold
ages. - Philadelphia Times.

WISE WORDS.

He who knows his power doubles it {;
he who is distrustful of it, destroys it.
1t is no vanity for a man to pride him
self on what he has honestly got and
prudently uses.
Ideas generate ideas like a potato,
which, cut in pieces, reproduces itself in
a multiplied form.
Do all the good you can, to all the
people you can, as long as ever you can,
in every place you can.
Mimicry is the business of the comedi-
an and cannot be resorted to in the draw
ing-room without great risk on the part
of the person who hazards that dangerous
accomplishment.
There are set of malicious. prating
prudent gossips, both male and female,
who murder characters to kill time; and
who will rob a young fellow of his good
name before he has years to know the
value of it.
Through life man is liable to error and
requires check, rebuke, and counsel He
should be his own good spirit, lowering
over himself in moments of passion,
temptation, and danger, and reminding
himself that he owes a duty to his
Maker, with which the opinions and con-
sequences of the world have nothing to
do. Life, in regard to the earth, is q

JUSTICE AT LAST.

Our readers are familiar with the
fearful Mussel Slough tragedies.
They we're all the result of an utter
lack of fulfilling agreements by the
Central Pacific Railroad Company.
We have it on creditable authority
that Governor Stanford was always
in favor OF doing the honest. fair
thing with the settlers, but that
Charley Crocacr opposed it, and
overruled the influence of the Pres I.
ident of the great corporation. 10
him then is due the lives lost. the
misery caused aud the bitter feel
ing against the company all over
the coast on account of this sad at
fair. At last, however, the COM
pany has decided to do an honest
act. It has declared its intention
to let the settlers buy the land at
its original cost. rs they agreed to
do. Had they acted this way at
first the troubles would have al
been avoided. It is only done now
because they see how universal the
feeling against the company is be-
coming, and it is plain to them that
oven corrupt Legislatures will soon
Eot dare to fly il the face of the
people. California has domonstra-
ted that States can throttle even the
Central Pacific, despite lis talk OF
interstate rights, ETC., and the
time is not far distant when even
railroad oppressed Nevada will get
something less than confscasion
rates. In fact, we already see it
coming. The company has made
us more concessions during the
past six months than ever before.
Why? Because it fears to crowd
any further. California charges in
no place over six cents per mile and
from that down to three, with a
possibility of still lower reductions.
Nevada. however, must pay just
what the company sees fit to charge.
Congress may pass one of the many
railroad bills before it this session.
The party that does will go into the
next Presidential campaign with u
fine political capital. So it is liko-
ly that in spite Of Huntington's
money or the lobby's influence a
system of interstate rates will be
charged, which will be . material
reduction for us, and at the same
time do away with that abomina-
ton known as back freights. East
ern States have fought the question
to q satisfactory solution, and We
must follow their example. The
sooner we go at it the better.-Aus-
tin Reveille.
