Gen. Mitchell was at this time So years
oil. He was of an extremely wiry
frame, and was possessed Of wonderful
endurance. His hair had lately grown
gray. which made him look older than he
really was. He was accustomed TO ride
II horse whose gait was IA pace. On this
horse he was all over the camps at all
hours of the night and day. The guards
were never certain of his coming. The
men soon learned Of his previous occupa-
ii, n, and called him "Old Stars" a
sentinel who had been repeatedly visited
while on duty once remarked that he
never could look up without seeing
old Stars coming along on his screw
propeller. Life Of o. NJ. Mitchell. As

For winter stalking, while II snow is
from four to six inches deep, the dress Of
the hunter should be made of n heavy.
light colored wooden fabric, with wool
socks and stout, soft moccasins, as ordi-
nary leather foot gear makes too much
noise in passing through brush or hard
snow.
There must be no frozen crust upon the
snow and the harder the wind blows the
better, as this tends to prevent the sound
of the hunters footsteps from reaching
the sensitive ears of the animal, and for
the same reason, the stalker should in
variably move against OF across the wind,
as his prospects of success would be ex-
ceedingly precarious should he hunt with
the wind, when the keen smelling and
hearing faculties of the animal would,
in all probability, apprise him of danger
long before the hunter came in sight.
The moose is not only wonderfully
alert in detecting the proximity of hun-
tiers, but he seems to be instinctively en-
dowed with the faculty of discriminating
between the sounds produced by the
hunters movements and those made by
the elements, or other natural causes,
such as the loud cracking or falling of
branches from trees, which give him no
alarm, whereas the breaking of a small
twig by the step of a man will sometimes
startle the wary beast SO as to cause him
to run for miles at his utmost speed

"Do the voices of the birds correspond
in their registers to those of human be
ings?"
Decidedly; although this has never
before been stated. For instance, the
nightingale is a rich contralto, the mock
ing bird n soprano sopracuto, the wood
thrush a fine soprano, the skylark a curl
u combination of the mezzo and the
soprano, with the odds in favor of the
mezzo. The stake driver is a basso pro-
fundo. his notes are deep and sonorous,
n his song is: 'Punk-a-gonk! A-gcnk-
a-wunck.' The cedar bird or the wax
wing lisps. He tries to sing in all parts
and canot sing in any. The bobolink is
a musical hybrid of meters. His is a
jingling song. He is the only bird whom
the knocking bird can't initiate. If a
bobolink be shut up in the same cage
with a mocking bird the knocking bird
will not i~nfrequently die within three
months of a broken heart, because of his
failure to initiate the bobolink. The
winter wren is n crystalline contratino
tenor. The rapidity of its song defies
lightning and consequently analysis.
The blue bird, as Mr.. Beecher said,
always seems to be about to sing some
thing, but never quite gets there. The
vulture is the musical discord of the bird
family. Its voice, which is even more
hoarse than that of the blue jay, is per-
ceptibly vitiated by its Incorporate nab
its. The vulture is the drunkard of the
birds. The bell bird of Florida has a
voice whose gamut of sounds represents
the higher and lower tones of a peal of
bells. The voice of this bird can be
heard distinctly for three-fourths of a
mile. The voice of the oriole sounds as
though the bird were singing Tuscan
Latin. The voice of the wood dove is
like q flute. The red birds voice re-
sembles a piccolo. The scraping voice of
the whet saw resembles 30 exactly the
sound of a saw at a log mill that when it
scrapes its song out at night more than
one sawyer has been walked from his
sleep supposing that the mill was in
motion. The canary has a either voice.
The catbird initiates a violin. The
monotonous voice of the blue jay is like
a Scotch bagpipe. New York Evening

The Chinese in California do o de
pwit their savings in u banks, but
Leave their surplus earnings with some
Gtrrckeeper for safety until they are
ready to send the money to China. The
storekeeper does not pay the depositor
any interest on the contrary, he charges
him a small sum for taking care of the
money. The result is some of the prin-
cipal merchants in San Francisco have n
large amount of money in their hands
all the time. The danger of being robbed
il very slight, as all the employees and
attaches of the store sleep there, and
there is no time, day or night, but what
EUlne n is awake and moving about.
The money is generally kept in q fire

In a paper on the healthy of the skin,
by DR.. Starin, extended reference is made
to the prevalent habit of putting too
many wraps on the skin, and concerning
which the author declares that no mans
skin, or woman's either, can be kept
thoroughly clean and healthy by piIing
too much clothing upon his or her body.
1t is a fact, he says, that clothing in
itself has no property in itself of bestow-
ing heat, but is chiefly useful in prevent
ing the dispersion of the temperature of
the body, and in some instances in de-
Tending it from the atmosphere; and
this power of preserving heat is due to
the same principle, that of conduction
and non-conduction, whatever form the
raiment may assume, whether the most
healthful and elegant tissues of human
manufacture or natures covering of
birds and animals.-Boston Budget.

1t is a rare accomplishment in man or
woman to be able gracefully to make
compliments. The difficulty lies in the
fact that honest praise or approval always
loses by being "A little coaxed or pcucd. "
The briefest expression which bears the
mir of sincerity is better than the most
elaborate eiTusion and profusion of COM
plimentary phrases, which ''by daily use
have almost lost their sense" One need
not be rude to be true; but if, on the
other hand, he is too ELUSIVE he ~forfeits
his best claim to redit.-Philadelphia

Usually when a suspect is placed on
examination or trial and is permitted to
make a defense, he employs his attorney
under n contract like this: If sentenced
to Siberia the fee shall be 1000 roubles;
if only a years Imprisonment, 5000
roubles; if acquitted, 10, 900 roubles. The
trials are then conducted under the prin-
ciples of the Russian proverb: ''The cause
is decided when the court receives a
present" Thus the success of the lawyer
depends upon his ability in pleasing the
judges taste in present giving. 1t is not

pected of crime against the crown is &C

PERHAPS the highest designation oi
this period of the worlds history
would be the age of the common
man. The stamp of his greatness
and worth is everywhere. He founds
governments and preserves them.
The worlds comforts multiply at his
touch. The great possibilities of pro-
gress open before the race because
his strong arm and courageous heart
are in the foreground of the onward
march. He demands no festal days
in his honor, no songs of commemora-
tion, no eulogies set to immortal Ian
guage. What he asks for, however,
is his share of the advantage which
the nineteenth century has to offer;
and who shall say that this is not his
to enjoy? Once denied his rights,
to-day he is accorded them. This is bet
ter than to monopolize monuments
and the title-pages of literature.

AN ingenious mode of disposing OF
condemned wooden vessels, by which
the wood is all saved, is in successful
operation in Denmark. The worn-out
hulks are loosely anchored off the
coast of Jutland, where the surf is
heavy and the shore is of shelving
sand, and, in few days, the force of
the waves breaks the vessel up and
strews its timbers along the beach.
As wood is very scarce in this region,
this drift wood is quite valuable.
