Australian Mound Builders.

In Australia and the neighboring ISL
ands are seen many large mounds Of
earth, which were formerly supposed to
be the tombs of departed natives. These
remarkable Misunderstanding as much as
fifteen feet in perpendicular height and
sixty feet in circumference at the base
are not the work of man, however, but
are now known to be the incubators built
by the jungle fowl and other species Of
the small family Of Megapodidae, or great
footed birds. Each of these great piles
consists Of fallen leaves, grasses, etc.,
which the birds deposit in place by
throwing backward with one foot. Though
the mounds are usually in dense shade,
the decaying vegetable matter has been
found to raise the temperature at the CEN
ter as high as 95 degs. The eggs are
carefully placed with the larger end up,
about twelve inches apart, and are GOV.
cred to a depth of at least two or three
feet-Arkansaw Traveller.

Doves as Military Messengers.

1t seems likely that carrier pigeons will
play an important part in the next great
European war. The French minister OF
war has just given orders for the organi-
cation of the many carrier pigeon stations
throughout the country upon a more sat
isfactory footing, and considerable i'm
portance is attached to the perfecting of
these arrangements. In addition to fifteen
of these stations, there are in various
parts of France 300 pigeon flying societies,
owning among them 1000 ''homers. :"
Each OF these societies has military or
ganization, and in case of war all the
pigeons belonging to them would be at
the service of the intelligence depart
ment.
Germany possesses about the same
number of carrier pigeon stations, and
there are $50 societies, with 80, 900 pigeons.
In Italy pigeons are actually in use for
conveying dispatches between the war
office in Rome and the garrisons in Sicily
and Sardinia. Russia is too cold for the
carrier pigeons. The only birds which
bring tidings of battle in Russia are the
buzZards.-New York Star.

Curious Things About Cooks.

A very curious thing about the cooks
that they admit themselves is that man
who succeeds admirably in one house may
fail utterly in the next place he takes. A
thousand influences govern the matter
The cook may not be in sympathy with
his master or mistress. They may not
like what he thinks he is best at making,
or they may limit him in his expenses, or
treat him in a way that makes him miser-
able. Then, again, cook may make q
great reputation in restaurant and fail
in private house. That often happens,
although, of course, it is still more often
the case that chef trained in family SER
vice proves unable to meet the rush and
bulk of the work in public house. The
best cooks in town say that the prime
necessity for success with private families
is not in the scientific knowledge Of q
cook half so much as in his manners and
address. A dapper. pleasant, smiling,
smooth, clever fellow will often please q
family better than a genius. Curiously
enough. so the cooks say, man who is
not liked himself often fails to make his
dishes liked-New York Sun.

their wedding tour. Julia Van Siankins, the
beautiful Pennsylvania heiress, who had met
the distinguished foreign nobleman, Count
de Bergamot. while ON q visit to her friends
in the metropolis, had yielded to the impul-
sive ardor with which the count pressed his
suit, and after brief courtship the two were
married. Life looked blissful and romantic
to the ecstatic young couple, and tuturs
full of rose embowered vistas, endless moon
light reveries, and the dreamy dolce Iaf

existence was guessed by both but unspoken
by either, rose before their rapturous vision
The head of the beautiful bride rested con-

noble Count de Bergamot. and at the sound
Of his voice she looked up.

The Ants and the Cyclone.

It is stated that about century since
there appeared on the island of Grenada
numberless colonies of ants. No one
knew whence they came, but they so
multiplied that they became fatal to the
sugar cane, and as that was the prin-
cipal industry the gravest results were
apprehended. All expedients failed to
dislodge them, and the government, in
177S, offered reward of 100000 for any
invention to destroy them. In 1880 nature
came to their relief in the way of terrible
cyclone and rainfall, which blew down
what cane was standing, drowned out the
ants, and new prosperity followed

Temper, too, there is no question, is
good to keep; yet we ourselves remember
occasions when we would have given all
the world to have been able to lose our
temper thoroughly, completely, irrevoca-
bly,. Simulated loss of temper is great
gift; but real, genuine loss has power
Of closing controversy or putting an end
to q situation where simulated loss can
effect nothing. No doubt the losing is ex-
pensive; it generally means apology or
compensation of some sort; but for the
moment it carries a man through diff
Guilty unconsciously. and, as it were, on
wings. The wounds received in the ex-
element of battle are said at the time not
to hurt, and loss Of temper means an ex-
citement where wounds given and re-
ceived become almost pleasure.

Woman's True Sphere.

A resent French publication en- Che
care Of children, has attracted great at
tention. One chapter is headed: .tWhat
to do with our girls2'' The author re-
Plies to the question in most felicitous
way. His book is but the development
OF Madame de Remusat's saying, on the
subject of women: "To be wives and
mothers, that is our calling and our Dig
nifty" He points out the duties of a
woman toward her husband and children; /;
he shows her how to govern and keep
her house, to please, comfort, advise, and
even direct the man she loves; to inspire
her children with love of work, and with
energy; to contribute, in word, to the
intelligence and force of the nation. he
does not wish her to be ambitious, to de-
spise the place she is to occupy in the
world, for she can play noble role, in
whatever position she may be. He ad-
monishes her never to break the laws of
nature in her person, and to remain
woman in all her being, both as regards
capacity and desires. If, by force Of cir
cumstances, she is compelled to choose
a profession, he shows her the different
callings that are open to her, and that
she can engage in without lowering her
self, as also without undue elevation.

Ants Buried by Their Kind.

Tie following incident appears in the
Proceedings Of the Linnean Society,""
having been communicated TO that
learned body by sn observer in Austria
liza. The latter saw a large number of
ants surrounding some he had killed and
determined to watch their proceedings
closely. Accordingly he followed four
or five that started of from the rest to-
ward hillock q short distance of, in
which was an ants nest. This they en-
tered, and in about five minutes they
reappeared, followed by others. All fell
into rank, walking regularly and slowly,
two by two, until they arrived at the
spot where lay the dead bodies Of SOL
der ants.
In few minutes two Of the ants sd
vanced and took mp one Of their com
rades, then two others, and 30 on until
All were ready to march. First walked
two ants, bearing body and then two
without a burden, then two others with
another dead ant, and so on until the
line was extended TO about forty pairs,
and the procession now moved slowly
onward, followed by an irregular body
Of about 200 ants. Occasionally the two
laden ants stopped, and. laying down
the dead body, il was taken up by the
two walking unburdened behind them,
and thus, by occasionally relieving each
other, they arrived at o sandy spot near
the sea.
The body Of ants now commenced
digging with their jaws q number OF
holes in the ground, in each Of which a
dead ant was laid. Then they all fell
toand filed up the graves. This did
not finish the remarkable circumstances
attending this insect funeral. Some sir

Feather Eating Fowls.

AGRICULTURAL.
FoPrCs OF INTEREST RELATrvE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
Rotation for Gardens.

It is good occasionally to give the gar
den rest by seeding it with clover or
grass for a year or two, and highly
mauuring some other plat to use n its
stead. It requires, however, one or two
years time to bring up even rich farm
sag land to the condition needed for
garden purposes. The beginning should
be made now by manuring heavily a
clover sod and planting with early po.
satocs. Then in the fall manure again,
and sow the patch with rye, to be
ploughed under in spring. By this
means the manure will be thoroughly
incorporated in the soil. The old gar
den after its use this summer may be
sown with rye or wheat, and seeded
with grass in the fall and with clover
seed next spring. In two or three years
this will restore lightncss and fertility
to the soil that cannot be got in any
other way.---Americaa Cultirdt0r.
