How Birds Soar.

4 wing, as il is well known, is CON-
posed of long feathers fastened to the
skin or bone in the front of the wing
and at liberty behind says q writer in
the Pittsburg dispatch. As the bird
strikes, the air cannot escape through
the wing, nor in front, as il meets there
with the firm resistance of the bone, so
the only place it has Is at the back of the
wing. turning the feathers up a little
there and giving a forward impulse to
the body very much as the wind does
which is blowing in quarterIng dIrec-
tion upon a kite. The kite must be
held in position by the string, and the
weight of tEe birds body takes the
place of the string. Then the wings
being moved at the proper angle, the
lsrd is able to ascend, descend or move
forward.
The phenomenon of soaring is done
by the same mechanism. That is by a
delicate holding of the wings at the
precise angle necessary to keep the
body moving.
1t is impossible for bird to remain
stationary in a perfectly still air with
out some motion Of the wings. The
observation is frequent made, especially
of sea birds, that they can stand still,
suspended in the air during the StiffeSt
kind of wind. This occasions sur
prise, whereas the fact is that the
stronger tie wind, the better the bird
can soar, as it then has no motion what
ever to make, but simply to trim its
wings TO the variations in the velocity
of the wind, but it also follows that in
soaring, the stronger the wind, the
slower is the birds progress, because
they must get their forward motion by
Tapping the wings, and the momentum
thus acquired is impeded by the gale.
Oceanic birds can regain velocity by so
the angle that they rise in the
air, and then sail rapidly down toward
the sea. This motion is grace itself,
and eXcites the envy and admiration of
all beholderS. Prof. Wilson says of it:
Tranquil its spirit seemed, and fioated slow;
Even in its very motion there was rest"

Rugged by a Bear.

A man who WIS around the ferry

says T.
'Well, partner, what is it?''
He stood there blocking the way and
made no answer, and l calls OUT
Come, now, no fooling!"

squeezed in carpenters wise, only more
so. L hadn't time 10 yell before my
breath was gone. and l felt myself being
flattened until, all of sudden,
my senses left me. When l came
to half an hour later, was IN the SHOW

me at all"
'And your present shape is the result
OF that squeeze!''
1T is, but you ought to have seen me
right away afterl Why, sir. had no

GENERAL WASHINGTON
LAFAYETTE,
after the destruction OF the
Aarnona Eranch Prison in lISu

after the destruction OF the
Amous French Prison in l7S9.
The key is of iron, foot long, very
heavy, and similar to those that used TO
throw the bolts In the calabaoses Of the
south during the days of slavery. A
cross piece at the handle end enables 1t
to be gripped firmly, and it is capable
Of being made q terrible weapon.
With it in his hand muscular turn
key, making the bloody rounds OF the
prison In advance Of the executloner,
might have cheated the gulllotine OF
its victims, a single well-directed
blow n each case would have de-
spatched them all. There accompanied
this relic, the gift also by Lafayette to
General Washington, a model OF the
Bastile, made out of stone taken
from the forbidding old pile. 1t is
about two feet long and foot high.
The work is roughly done, but the
miniature Is said to be perfect. You
may even look down and see the cross
marks on some of the cell doors, which,
it will be remembered, were made with
chalk in the prison proper, and served
daily to direct the eXecutioner in gath
ering up wretches for the sacrifice.
The model, also in glass case rests on
table in what Is known as the ban
quet room of the mansion, and In a
frame beside it is an autograph letter
from G.. W. p. Curtis, Washington's
stepson, to Mr.. John Warden, express
ing pleasure at hearing that the model
is safe again at Mount Vernon, where.
he thought it properly belonged. 1t
had for many years been deposited in
the museum at Alexandria, Va. The
letter is dated in 1856, from the Ar
llngton house.
Lafayette brought these two relics
over with him when he came as the
country's guest, and presented them to
General Washington during his men,
orable sojourn at Mount Vernon. Not
only Mr.. Sala, but everybody will be
interested In knowing that the affairs
Of the patriotic association which owns
and controls Mount Vernon, were
never in SO prosperous and satisfactory
condition as at present. Everything is
kept In the most perfect order, and the
number of visitors this year has been
uDu5udlly large. Iue TtCtlpLS are
growing so generous that within the
next year 1t Is believed 1t will be pos
sible to reduce the cost of the trip to
an Insignificant sum. 1t is already
mere trifie to those to whom the pill
grimage appeals to any force whatever.
Some improvements are forward, such
as do not cut into the sacred lines of
the place. A little frame observatory
on the bluff In front of the mansion is
almost Completed and will command a
magnificent view of the Potomac IN
either direction. And keeping pace
with this march are the stories of the
guide, which grow In marvellous inter-
est all the time. They have long been
famous for their sufficient and con-
nected charm, but OF late they have
grown eloquent. Even those who are
"stumped" yet retire In a measure de-
lighted. The project Of building a
railroad from Alexandria TO Mount
Vernon, at one time much discussed,
seems to have been abandoned. Public
sentiment did not support it.

THERE is a constant controversy GO
ing on as to the economy, digestibillty
and necessity of soup at the commence.
ment of dinner; some maintaining
that dinner without it cannot liter
ally be called dinner; others prejudlced
against "slops," discarding it from
their tables altogether; while few who
would gladly, perhaps, take advantage
of an opportunity to reduce the meat
bills. have only the will, being ignorant
of the way. The average middle class
wife and mother may have sighed over
the items Of ribs and sirloins Of beef.
and legs and shoulders of mutton, and
said to herself, "Ah. we must take to
having little soup" With praise.
worthy promptitude and zeal, she has
perchance opened her cookery-book, Of
the old extravagant style, and closed il
sorrowfully, sadder, If not a wiser
woman, the brains all dizzy from the
strings of Ingredients, and the long line
OF knuckleS of veal, shins OF beef, "old
fowls" and slices of ham, which she is
commanded to throw into the stock
pot II she would insure success. No
doubt, in many families, the prejudice
against soup has risen from the fact that
1t Is usually prepared and served In large
quantities, Instead of, as at the tables of
the rich, in small portions, though
many of the kiDSs should furnish in
themselves a substantial meal for a
growing child. at any rate, the ad-
vantages Of commencing dinner with
soup are manifest In the saving of the
meat bills, and the comfortable sensa-
tion experienced after little has been
taken; for let any person, who feels, as
the saying goes, ''too hungry to eat"
swallow a few spoonfuls of soup,
and the feeling of exhaustion will
quickly pass away. Indeed, a we'll
known authority has said that nothing
tends more to restore the tone of the
stomach, and make easier of digestion
that which Is to follow, than a little
soup.
