TO a SEA BIRD.

Sauntoring hither ON listleSs wings,
Careless yOgabOui OF the sea,
Little thou heedest the surf that sings,
The bar that thunders the shale that rings
Give me TO keep thy company.
Little hast thou old friend, that's new:
storms and wrecks are old things 10 thee.
Sick am of these changes, too
Little to caro- for, little TO rue
on the shore and thou on the sea.
Al Of thy wanderlngs far and near
Bring thee az length 10 shore and mo.
All Of my iomueyings end them here;
This our tether must be our cheer
on the shore aud thou on the sea,
Lazily rocking on oceans breast
Something I'm common, Old friend, have we;
Thou ON the shinglc seek est thy nest
/ 10 the waters look FOR rest
on the shore and thou on tho sea.

Scene at an Apes Death.Bed.

In his recently published treatise on the anthropoid apes, Prof. Hartmann of the Berlin University tells touching story of a large monkey which belonged to the Geological Gardens of Dresden. Mafuca, as she was named by Herr Schopf, the Director of the gardens, was a parsonage of polite manners. She would blow her nose with handker- chief, put on her own boots, wiring out the linen, steal keys and open locks. She had a cup of tea every morning, and one of cocoa every evening", md nt- any time would fill her own cup or tumbler without spilling drop-suggesting at once sense of propriety and of appreci- ation of the beverage. Her death was quite pathetic. After some years expe- rience of the Dresden climate, she show ed symptoms of consumption; and, if un- able to realize the progress of the disease, she was quite conscious when it was drawing to close. She would scarcely allow her friend, Dr.. Schopf, who nurs' ed her throughout her illness, to leave her sight. When the end approached, feeling her forces ebbing, she threw her arms around his neck, kissing him re- peatedly, held out her hand to grasp hi and fell back lifeless.

A Relic of Jefferson:

The fiat little stucco building at G and Fourteenth streets, which is being pulled down this week, has history. It is said that President Jefferson opened a public school there in 1905, after his sec- ond election, relinqulshing its use as a stable for that purpose. It was there that he kept his horse and perhaps his carriage, or wheeled vehicle of some sort no doubt the same historic horse on which he rode from Monticello to the Capital, and then back again on the morn ing of his inauguration and rode up to the Capitol, where, tradition says, he dismounted and hitched him to the pick ct fence till after the ceremony.
 The reason why Jefferson rode on horseback, by the way, does not appear to have been his simplicity or his econ- omy, for he was both an extravagant and a ceremonious man; but because it was at that time about the only way in which a man could get through the mud of Vir- ginia to Washington, and through the knee-deep mud of Pennsylvania avenue to the Capitol. = Washington Post.

Night Fishing in Monterey Bay.

The fascination of bright light for fish is stated to have been first discovered by whalers, who noticed that the fish fairly swarmcd whenever the glaro fell from their trypot furnaces. The Monte rey fishermen have reduced the system to nicety, and the way in which their nets swarm when beached is ample evi. dence of their success. When the lur- ing is done on large scale it requires half dozen boats, and the sight at night is full of interest. All but two or three of the boats are fitted with metal basket at stern or bow, and in this a brilliant fire of pine knots or oil-satura- ted wick is kindled and kept burning by constant replenishing from a stock oi fuel carried in the boats. The fire is started when the craft are a half mile off shore and they are slowly pulled into the beach, three or four pretty close together and on even terms. Behind the faring lights and extending a considerable dis tance on either side of them is deep net, dragged by boat at either end and bellied out until il forms almost half circle, of which the lighted boats are the centre. Around the latter all the fish within sight seem to gather, bent on investi- gating the strange brightness, and their curiosity keeps them about the lights until the boats are beached and the two extremes of the net reach the shore. Then the united force haul in the richly freighted meshes, bringing with them all the gathered fish, from the tiniest min. now to the biggest cod. Hundreds and hundreds of pounds are taken at ( single haul, and by lively work the same water can be dragged twice in q tide with equally profitable results. The catch is promiscuous, and the fishermen are kept busily employed until train time sorting and boxing the different varities. California.
