The YELLED MYsTERY.-There is
one woman in the Treasury at Wash
ington who has attracted much atten-
ton on account of the mystery sur
rounding her. She has been in the
department for years-not less than
ten-and though she is marked by
everybody no one has yet seen her
face. 1t is the talk of the clerks
brought most in contact with her.
She is woman of magnificent pres
ence, tall, fine figure and perfect
form. Her appearance is that of a
woman who might possess remarkable
beauty, but she always has her face
enveloped in thick veil. In the Of
fee or out, at work or walking through
the halls, the veil is never removed,
and the efforts of her inquisitive fell
low clerks to peep under it are vain.
Many susceptible young men, struck
by her fine figure, have quickened
their step to catch up with her in the
halls, only to find her face hid from
sight. No one can tell whether she
is old or young, but she is probably
not livery either" The motive for
concealing her features is not known.
like the "Veiled Prophet"
she seeks to hide vision of ugliness,
DR. whether she has some other reason,
s mere matter of conjecture. Some
say that her face once comported with
he promise of her form-that she
vas exquisitely beautiful-but was
Tictim of smallpox, which so disfig-
lred her face that she is ashamed to

A writer on birds says there are
rules of the road which the feathered
tribes obey. Some travel by night
and some by day, and the latter, as a
rule, seek safety in their numbers and
the rapidity of their fight. Rocks
and jackdaws have curious habit of
varying the hight at which they fly.
they generally press forward on their
journey at a great elevation, till, sud-
denly, several among their number
drop down several hundred feet with
closed wings, when Others follow suit,
till presently the whole company has
changed its level, and is pressing on
at only 100 feet from the ground. Mi
grating birds usually go in irregular
fiocks with open spaces between. A
pilot bird generally precedes swallows.
Among all the migrants the fight of
storks affords the most beautiful spec
tacle, owing to their extraordinary
powers of wing, and to the gambols
and aerial ballets which they practice
while still advancing rapidly with each
successive sweep of their strong wings.
