samoans Catching Pigeons.
George Turner.l


The ground being cleared, the chiefs
stationed themselves at distances all round
a large circular space, each concealed
under low shed or covering of brush
wood, having by his side net attached to
a long bamboo, and in his hand a stick
with a tame pigeon on a crook at the end
of it. This pigeon was trained to fly
round and round as directed by its owner,
with a string at its foot thirty feet long,
attached to the end of his stick Every
man flew his pigeon, and then the whole
circle looked like a place where pigeons
were fOcking round food or water.
The scene soon attracted some wild
pigeon, and as it approached the spot.
whoever was next to it raised his net and
tried to entangle it He who got the great
est number of pigeons was the hero of
the day and honored by his friends with
various kinds of food, with which he
treated his less successful competitors.
Some of the pigeons were baked, others
were distributed about and trained for
further use. Tanning and exercising them
for the sporting season was a common

Scenery of Kauai.

During the late visit of His Majesty the
King to Kauai, he was accompanied
around the island by Mons. Jules Ia
vernier, who speaks enthusiastically of the
warm reception given the King by the
people wherever he went. The artist
soul of Tavernier was stirred by the
scenes of surprising beauty through
which he passed while on the island,
the views he declaring to be
lovelier than he had imagined ex-
listed on these islands. He intends, at
an early day, to make an artists tour of
Kauai, and transfer to canvas some of
the beautiful bits of landscape with which
the island abounds.

weeks, may be mentioned The steam.
ship Austral went from London to sgd
ney in thirty -five days, and consumed on
the voyage 3,641 tons of COAL her coal
bunkers hold 2, $50 tons. The steamship
Oregon consumes over $50 tons per day
on her passage from Liverpool to New

tons. The Stirling Castle last year brought
home in one cargo 2, 200 tons of tea, and
consumed 2, 500 tons of coal in doing so.
Inn lense stocks of coal are kept at
various coaling stations, St Vincent, Ma.

IScientific American /

A solution of oxalic acid has been used
for removing ink stains from cotton,
linen or the fingers, but it is attended
with the danger of injuring textiles and
the skin. A much safer and better treat
ment of ink or rust stains consists in the
application of two parts of powdered
cream of tartar and one part of finely
powdered oXalic acid. Shake up the in
gradients well together, and apply the
powder with dry rag to the dampened
stain. When the spot has disappeared,
the spot should be very well washed

SEVENTY AND SEVEN.

He sat in silence on hsr knee,
His hand snloothed soft and lovingly
Tho wrinkles on the aged face.
His eager eyes and face so fair,
Against the calm Of her snow white hair,
And the rosy glow that the Preside threw
Gave lights that picture never knew.
He cried In a loving voice and mood:
Poor, bOny granma, dear and good7
A new light flashed in the faded eyes;
It kindIed their depths with g rapt surprise,
And the hidden thoughts Of the by-gons
days
Looked out to answer his steadfast gaze.

Gran as she was long years ago.
"A bonnie lass we. g the words they said
When they hung the veil DER the young

A hush fell over the eager tone
As she unused awhile on the days long flown,
And dream-light shone in the tear-dimmed
sight
As she looked afar in the Preside light.
He, watching her face with q childish awe,
With honest heart the deception saw,
For, breaking the silence, he spoke again,
II Didn't say bonny, but bony, gran"
"'Twas bony, was it, seel ] sesl

@I'm very sorry for what said,
He cried, as he hung his curly head
She kissed him soft as he lay at rest,
With tired head on her loving breast
And, while the clock licked silently,
She murm ured low and musingly,
"Even in age am still so vain
That the words Of truth have q touch Of
pain,
When in my face less care might be

The Seasons Change.
Boston Courier.

When the earth from winters thraIdom is
released by balmy spring, and the robin and
the blnebird, overjoyed, their carols sing
when the trees, so lately gaunt and bare, the
starting buds display, and the fields, erst-
while are decked again in verdurous array;
when the promise of the summer breathes in
every baImy breeze, r. modest early flowers
begin to gem the ver.lant leas; when the sun
energies brightly in the morning from his
bath, and diffuses golden glory as he climbs
the azure path, then the iceman sees pros
pect of disposing of his crop, and people gen.
orally expect that Goa "-iu take drop.

Pasteur on Spontaneous Generati0

Pasteur on Spontaneous Generation.
Revue des Deux Mondesl
Pasteur has often expressed regret that
he had not continued his first researches.
What results they would have given we
cannot foresee. Pasteur has carried them
far enough to recognize in organic matter
properties which mineral and artificial
products never present He had estab-
lished barrier between the organic and
the inorganic world. He established
second between organic matter and organ
lied or living matter, and proved that
life never appeared without germ. This
was the result of his work on spontaneous
generation
The supporters of Heterogeneous or spon-
taneous generation no longer maintained
at the time when Pasteur took up the
problem that the larger animals were pro-
duced spontaneously, as was held by
Aristotle and many of later date, but it
remained for the French scientist to
show the same thing for the microscopic
world. His famous dispute with Bastian
and Pouchet continued for several years,
and the experiments of PaSteur during
this time were varied and full of interest
The germs in the liquids used by the
experiments, which he claimed caused the
semblance of Heterogeneous, he first de-
stroyed by heat, and no life afterward ap-
peared
When the heterogenists protested that
thus the plastic force which produced life
was destroyed, he showed that heat and
even screen of cotton wool were not
necessary. Air passing through capillary
tube is purified from germs. He demon
strated that in the counter experiments of
his antagonists there had been inaccura
cies. oversights; how the mercury used to
exclude the air carried the fertiliZing

81 WISH l HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE
OVER AGAIN."

That remark was made in our hear
ing, not long since, by young man
hot twenty years of age. He was try
ing to persuade himself that if he
could just start again he would do
wonders. Poor fellow what is he
lamenting over the wasted nineteen
years for? Better look after the
present and future, and let the past
look out for itself. What young man
under twenty years of age, who is
possessed of a reasonable amount of
determination, cannot make the flu
ture a glorious success? however no.
tlceable may have been his neglect of
duty in the past. The young man is
mistaken. He is deceiving himself.
If it were possible for him to live his
life over again, he would doubtless
repeat it to the very letter. There is
no better point along the journey of
lite for making a new departure than
the milestone he has Just reached.
But he does not stand alone in this
matter, for there are thousands of
young men, all over the world, Just
hanging around loose, trying hard to
kill time and wishing that they had
started right. Wishes are not worth
a baubee unless they are deep enough,
strong enough and honest enough to
make one act Hide the failures of the
past in the successes of the future.
Idle wishes and passively good inten-
tons have not made one life sue
cess. Every young man must learn,
sooner or later, that one must have a
certain amount of that commodity
called "vim" before he can reasona-
bly, hope to succeed. Nor must that
vim be wild, reckless element in
his nature. If the present and the
future are worth anything, the pres
ent is worth planning for. Young
man, if you read these lines, wake
up! Stop Think Get your bear
ings. You are just ready to take
hold of life in earnest, and grapple
with its difficulties in the conscious
ness of possessing the nerve and sin
ews of a man. If life is worth living
for at all, it is worth living well !; and
it is, at least worth an earnest effort
on your part.

BERMUDA.

The spring of the year is the best
time to SOW Bermuda seed. 1t is not
winter grass and cannot be sown in
the fall like orchard, blue and other
perennial grasses. If sown in fall it
must be done so early that it shall
have time to form underground stems,
which survive through the winter.
Sown in August it may do this, but
August is not usually a favorable
time for the termination of small
seeds. Sow in March or early in
April. The roots may be planted at
any time when the ground is wet ;
from November to March is there
fore the best time. Check the land
after breaking it well, from two to
three feet, and put piece Of root in
each check, and cover with a plow, or
run three plows in breaking land and
drop pieces of roots, in every third
furrow, one or two feet apart. 1t is
the easiest thing in the world to prop
agate; get the roots covered up two
or three inches in damp earth and
they will be sure to grow.
