Recognition in Birds.

Mr.. W. j. Stillman, writing to Nature
from Canca, Crete, records curious in
stance of instinct in birds, which is by no
means singular. A gardener living in
Lukaleria, three miles from Canea,
caught a young but fully fiedged sparrow
IN his garden, which he brought to the
house of friend, with whom Mr.. Still
man and his family are staying in Canea.
He presented the bird to one of the chill
dren in the house, it was put in cage
and hung in the window, and after few
hours it lost its fright and became placid.
1t was early in the morning when it was
caught, and late in the afternoon an old
oird was noticed fluttering about the
cage, while the young one was making
frantic efforts to get out to the old one
1t was evidently the mother of the
roung bird, as the recognition was too
cordial to have been owing to the in
terest of strange bird. On the cage
oeing opened they both flew off rapidly
n the direction of Zulakeria, from which
the old bird must have traced its nest
ing by some instinct as it is impossible
she had followed the gardener, or she
would have been observed earlier in the
law.

Court Of Spain on his first return from
Amoricq. He is seated at the right hand
Of Ferdinand and his illustrious patroness,
Isabella. A map of newly-discovered
countries, with some of their peculiar pro-
ductions lying at his feet, distinguish the
interesting scene. Above the prone
eagle supports the arms Of Isabella, and
on the pedestal is the following inscrip-
ton:
"Columbus was born at Genoa, 1447;
was received by the Court of Spain in
triumph, 1893; was put in chains by its
order September, 1900; died at Valla-
dolid, May 20, 1906
The last scene, exhibited on the rear or
fourth side of the obelisk, strongly con-
trasts with the one just described: Colum-
bus is seen in his chamber pensive and
neglected. The chains with which he
had been cruelty loaded hang against its
bare walls, on which is seen written:
"The mgratitudc of Kings" To cheer
his declining moments, the Genius of
Liberty appears before him. The glory
which surrounds him seems TO illuminate
his solitary habitation. The emblcms of
despotism and superstition are crushed
beneath her feet; and, to intimate the
gratitude and respect of prosperity, she
points TO monument sacred to his mem
ory reared by the Columbian Order. On
the. pedestal Nature is seen caressing her
various progeny; her tawny offspring
seemed to mourn over the urn of Colum-
bus.
The upper part of the obelisk is en-
bellished as on the other sides. But the
eagle, as an emblem of civil Government,
is seen no longer prone or loaded with
the decorations of heraldry. She scars
IN an open sky grasping in her talons a
scroll inscribed "The Rights of Man.
The "portable monument obelisk' thus
exhibited at the great wigwam, amid
the plaudits of the beholders,n - was sub
sequently added to the attractions of Mr..
Bowen's Museum and Wax Work, at the
Exchange, New York, where the discov-
cry of America was again commemorated
on its three hundred and first anniversary,
October 12, 1898. OF the subsequent
fate of this early monument to Columbus
| am unable to give any account at this
time.-N6U York Times.

WHY DO BEES swARM7

Why do bees swarml is very simple
question to answer. In the first place,
they are built on that plan, and, next,
when the honey is good, they COM
mence to rear queens, and few days be-
fore queen is ready to "break her SHELF
and come out, she makes piping noise,
resembling the peeping of young chick.
The old queen makes for the young
queen-cell and will destroy the queen if
the "bee-guards' do not prevent her.
But, if they prevent it, the old queen
kicks up muss in the hive, and the
workers catch the excitement and begin
to fill up with honey-not "brood food
the old queen leaves, and the filled
bees follow.
To prevent swarming, persons who use
the frame-hive can do so by raising out
the frames and finding the queen-cells.
Cut them out, and there will be no
swarming, if they are kept cut out.

How the Coreans Mourn.

The Coreans go into very extensive
mourning for their friends. They hide
their faces from the public gaze and dress
in sackcloth. Their mourning costume
is not at all picturesque, but it is curious
The hat, stiff with starch, is of coarse
hemp cloth and resembles somewhat an
inverted bowl or old-fashioned SCUM
tureen. Under the hat is worn head
band and n cap. The hat, the cap and
the head band are worn together the day
of the death, at the funeral and at the
expiration of the first and second years
of mourning. At other times during the
mourning period the head band alone is
worn. The mourning robe is made of n
coarse hemp cloth similar to that of which
the hat and screen are made, but with ex.
tremely large mcshes. The back is a
wide straight piece, two cores extend
from the armpits down and the front is
straight piece and gore. 1t has roll.
ing collar three feet long and sleeves
eighteen inches wide, cut square. The
The robes are of yellowish- brown and
white in color and at the bottom they
measure nine and one-half feet in circum-
ference. Over this is worn robe of
finer quality and slashed up at the sides.
The sleeves are wider also. After the
death of father girdle of hemp rope is
worn. If it is mother that is dead a
hemp cloth sash is worn. A variety of
hats are worn for mourning. A screen
hemp cloth is always held in front of the
face by mourner. II is considered a
great offense to look into the face of a
mourner. Before missionaries were per-
mitted in Corea they used to steal into
the country by Disgusting themselves US
mourners. - Washington Star.

THE ROPE CURE FOR KIcKERs.

During the last thirty-five years a
neighbor has cured over twenty horses of
the kicking habit, without failing in any
case attempted. Following is his method /:
Take half-inch rope that has been
stretched until it cannot stretch any
more, tie it around the horse six inches
back of the pad and bellyband of the
harness; insert a short stick and twist it
up nearly as tight as the rope will bear
without breaking, and tie the stick so
that it will stay. Fasten the horse in a
stall where there is room behind him to
WELD long lash whip, then strike him
around the hind legs quite severely; at
the second or third blow he will generally
kick with both feet with all his might,
but only for two or three times. If he
has been in the habit of kicking in har-
ness, drive him with the rope on two
weeks, or until he quits making any
threats. Some will kick once or twice
with one foot, and bob up and threaten
for several days. They should be tickled
or teased, or have basket or pail thrown
under them or tied to hind foot several
times day to make them try to kick,
and until they cease to make any effort
in that direction. The remedy is then
cffectual. After driving the animal halt
an hour the rope should be frightened.
This will also cure bucking horses or any
which try to throw their rider.-Nels

A Dead Whale Thought to be an Island.

Mariners have been talking about new
island that they have discovered off the
south coast of Newfoundland, in latitude
forty-fve degrees north, longitude fifty
five west. No such island adorned the
maps, and the photographic authorities
therefore suspected that an island had
risen from the sea. The mystery has
now been dispelled. The Captain of the
bark Otto, which arrived at Philadelphia
the other day from Hamburg, reports that
he sailed close to the island and discov-
cred that it was an enormous dead whale.
The creature, according to Captain
Grundson, was about the largest whale
ever seen in the Atlantic. 100 feet long
and thirty-fye feet ad.-NsO York

CHANGE OF PAsTuRE.

1t is too common practice for land
devoted to the pasture to be given to
the stock in body, over which they
have continuous and unrestricted range.
That this is not good policy is apparent.
The whole pasture surface is kept con-
stantly fouled and tread down. No por-
tion of it is allowed to freshen up during
the grazing season. Actual test has
proven that two five-acre pastures, fed
alternately, are worth much more than
one ten-acre field fed continuously. The
grass roots have a much better chance to
in the former, especially in the dry time
They are not then constantly trampled,
and the protecting growth above fed
down. One-half the pasture is allowed
an uninterrupted growth of several days
while the other is being fed. This in
turn will offer fresh feed while the first
is getting rest, and so, alternately
through the growing season.
The expense of thus separating the
pasture into parts is slight indeed COM
pared with the benefits realized. 1t is
supposed that the pasture is already sur
rounded with fence. All that is required
to make the division is to run fence
across the pasture. This fence may us
ually be of a rather light, temporary
character, as there is nothing on either
side to tempt stock to make breach, and
no great damage to be done If they do.
Movable panels may be staked in place,
or three wires strung to form the divis-
ion. The cost of this improvement in a
ten-acre pasture would not be over eight
dollars or ten dollars, while the gain in a
single season will treble this amount -

rARMEps SHOULD GROW CELERY.

The liking for celery is an acquired
one, like that for tomatoes, But no plant
grown is more healthful, and il should
be more generally on farmers tables dur
ing fall and winter. II costs a good
deal to buy celery, as it requires extra
rich ground and good deal of labor to
grow it fit for market. When the con-
ditions are right the market gardener
finds celery one Of the most reliable and
most profitable crops. If farmers more
generally grew celery, what they did not
need for their own use could be most
protitably sold. Boston Cultirdt0r.

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
TIE MOUTH oF TIE uorsr.

Be careful Of the horses mouth. Men
who jerk the reins because they are too
mad to be sensible and humane, should
have bit placed in their own mouths
and have it jerked by some brutal fellow
who would enjoy giving pain. In break
ing colts be very careful about the mouth
and never bit an animal that has a sore
mouth while it continues so. The mouth
of the horse should be more frequently
examined than it usually is. Sometimes
there is inflammation that needs attention,
and occasionallyit may even be necessary
to draw tooth. 1t is by no means un-
common that the poor condition of a
horse can be traced to some ailment Of
the mouth which prevents the proper
mastication of the food. 1t is not much
trouble to open the mouth and look into
it, and it will often prevent trou ole.-
