the opinion of wcl-informed Europeans,

and alongside of them empty perfume

notice horrible daubs, veritablc 10-cent

for instance, Il big glass case, twenty

with beautiful pearls (mostly from the
Persian Gulf fisheries) of all sizes and

A Wonder Bird,

1 had not been many minutes on the
key before l discovered a large snow
white bird nesting on the ground under
spray of Rhacichalis. Its wings were
barred with jet black; its bill was
bright yellow, ard tapercd to spear
like point, which forbade too close
familiarity. This proved to be the
yellow billed tropic bird (Phrton favi-
rostris), and we afterward caught several
in our hand, taking them from the nest.
When held up by the wings they strike
Justify with their bills and utter pccu-
larly shrill cry. The tropic bird lays
single egg on the ground beneath rocks
or bushes 1t is about the size and make
of the hens, and is finely spriukled
with reddish brown, SO al to appear OF
an almost uniform tint. One of these
birds, which my companion shot and
slightly wounded, flew short distance
and then alighted on the water, AS we
sailed toward it, first one and then an
other bird came and lowered over it as
if urging it to take flight, which it pres
emily did, and with its attendants soon
passed out of sight. These BIRDS rcsem-

The British agricultural returns, just
published, show decrease of 81, 500
acres in the total cultivated area of the
United Kingdom, representing money
loss to the country of at least quarter
Of a million sterling per annum, unless
recovered in approaching years. The
chief cause of this step backwards to-
wards barbarism, says the London
Graphic, seems to be the way in which
fenced meadow land has been left to
become, technically ''uncultivated," by
reason of fences, on being broken down
or becoming rotten, not being renewed
To how pitiable an exhaustion of agri-
cultural capital this points, VIC need
hardly say. Other discouraging features
are decline in the number of milch
cows, considerable decrease in corn
growing, some partial abandonment even
Of root crops, and a steady increasing
dependence on the mere grazing farming
of poor and backward estates. The in
creased acreage devoted to fruit grow
ing, especially bush fruit, is good
sign; SO also is an increase in the number
OF horses, of pigs and of sheep.

A lumber company with capital of

tion OF tho forests of Fresno county,
Cal, ~ the establishment of large saw
mills and other appliances for lumber
ing operations. The mills are expected
to turn out 300, 900 feet of rough-sawed
lumber per day. This will be conveyed
to a point about twenty miles from
Fresno city by fume seventy miles
long. From the end of the flume lum-
Der will be brought into tho city by a
dummy railroad. In the city there will
be erected large planning mill and sash,

bcr sawed by the mills will be used up
in that manner. There is standing in
the belt of timber IN the mountains,
where the saw mills will be built, fully
one billion two hundred million feet of
lumber, nino hundred million of which
is redwood. Fresno county has the
largest grove of redwoods in the world,
it being thirty-six hundred acres in ex-
tent, and the majority of the trees be-

A college student at Galosboro, ILL.,,

Chinaman who lately established tea
store. He did it by reversing sign
that stood in front of the store, and on
which was written: s'Wanted- 300 Gus
toners today to buy sun dried tea, :"
and wrote on it, ''Wanted---30O cats to-
day to send to Kansas; will pay 25 cents
each" Some young urchins saw the sign
and in less than two hours there were
at and around the tea store, such a
crowd of cats as was never before seen.

The interstate commerce commission
rendered decision in the case of William
H. Heard VS. the Georgia Railroad com.
pany. The commission holds that the
petitioner, colored passenger on de
fendant's roads between Atlanta, Ca, and
Charleston, S. c., who had paid first-class
fare, was subjected to undue and unreas-
enable prejudice and disadvantage; being
compelled to travel in a car of inferior
accommodations, of which only one-h half
was assigned to colored passengers, the
other half being used as asmoker for both
white and colorcd passengers; and that
it is the duty of carrier, under the law,
to furnish to passengers paying the same
fare, equal accommodations and protec-
.tion, without discrimination on account
of color. But if the separation of white
and colorcd passengers is expedient for
adequate reasons, such separation is not
unlawful, if the accommodations and
comforts for colored passengers are in all
respects equal to those for white passen-
gers paying the same fare.

Phil ARMoUR's method of distribut-

school children of his $4,000 mission
was peculiar. After the usual Christ
mas service the lights were turned down
and then was seen on the platform,
brilliantly lighted, a miniature fac-simile
OF the mission building. Every archi-
tectural popularity and characteristics
was produced. As the children marched
past the portico of the little building
men within handed out Christmas
presents, and when they were all gone
the building was taken to pieces and
was then found to be made of articles
suitable for gifts and which were dis
tributed. The millionaire pork packer
was present with bis family, apparently
