They Live i'm Tree Tons,

The natives of New Guinea live i'll rec
tangular huts, which they build Of the
trunks of trees, bamboo, leaves and ribs
of leaves and bast made of lianas. In
the mountains, where rain is frequent
occurrence, the thick, high roofs of these
huts reach almost to the ground, making
them much more clumsy in appearance
than those situated nearer the warmer
coast.
But the most astonishing popularity
which strikes the explorer is that of the
'tree- houses" which, however, are not
used for habitations in the ordinary sense
of the word, but serve as fortresscs and
places of retreat in case of war. 1t is
scarcely safe to visit these "castles in the
tree-tops," for the weak, sky-high rope
ladders, made of the bast Of lianas would
scarcely inspire any one with confidence
enough for the undertaking.
In some parts along the coast the huts
arc built on posts, which is not done to
make them easily defensiblc, but to pro-
tect them from the dangers Of flood. To-
ward the inland, these houses arc un-
known, and the VILLAGES are built upon
high ridges of mountains, which are al.
most inaccessible and easily protected
against enemies. The water which they
use has to be carried from long distances
by the women, who occupy the place of
slaves.-.St. LOuis Post-Dispatch.

The New York Times thinks lit rather
remarkable that this country should hold
the record for the leaping of horses.
This accomplishment comes into play only
in hunting, and the hunting in this country
is of course very trihing in comparison
with that in the British islands. Never
thclcss, Aulc .ican-bred horses have for
some years beaten the records made
abroad. The performance in Chicago in
which two Canadian animals cleared bar
six feet ten and quarter inches from the
ground is by far the most remarkable yet
achieved. Such leap would be unusual
for horse at liberty, while for horse
and rider it is wonderful. If the Cana
dians can succeed in breeding horses that
combine speed and stoutness with the
this capacity for jumping, the market for
them in London will be practically un-
limited, and the prices what in Canada it.
self would seem fabulous" Since the
foregoing was pcnned, one of the Cana
dian horses referred to has beaten our
record, jumping six feet eleven and three
quarter inches.

You may build you all elegant mansion
And fence it around with gold,
Set it all with diamonds and rubies;
You may keep out the wind and cold.
You may Danish from it all intruders
Have music and levity there;
You may shut out Discord and Envy
But you cannot shut out Care.
You may build you lowly cottage,
You may paint it all in white,
Grow vines and shade-trees about it,
Let in only sunshine and light;
You may keep out the envy and malice
That wrinkle the faces we wear,
You may keep Love inside, and Content
But you cannot keep out Care.
You may sing with the voice of an angel,
You may dance with fairy's feet.
You may laugh till your laughter makes
music
For every one that you meet;
You may dance till your feet seem twink

Till the roses fade in your hair,
You may dance till the world dies of envy
But you cannot dance away Care.
You may smile in the face of women
Who envy your very life,
As You hide from their eyes all the burdens,
The weariness, hear5aches and strife;
You may live so the poor will adore you,
Live a life that the world calls fair;
You may let love be conquered by Duty
But you notlivewithout Care.

Fish and Bird in Death Grapple.

A kiugfsher sat on branch OF dead
tree, on the edge of Lake Keuka, the
other day, near Fairchild's Point, n. ",
Watching for his dinner. A black bass
fisherman was in his boat in the cove
onlytwe lor7three:rods :abeve the SPOT
where the bird was sitting. He quit
fishing, and kept his eye, on the king-
fisher, curious to sec the bird dive LOT us
fish when the time came. Tie had TO
wait but short time, for a fish came
within the line of the kingfshers vision,
and the bird dropped like stone into
the water and disappeared beneath the
surface. 1t rcappcared almost immcdl-
ately with a fish impalfd in its strong,
spear-like beak. TheePird's body had
scarcely come to the affacc, however,
when it disappeared agSp with a sudden"
ness that left no doubt that it had been
jerked back by something that had
seized it. The kingfshcr did not come
up again, and the fisherman rowed to the
spot where it had gone down to see if he
could find an explanation of the birds
extraordinary disappearance. a dead
pickcrel, about eight inches long, was
floating on the water. A hole through
its body below the dorsel fin showed
plainly enough that the pickcrel was the
fish the kingfsher had speared. The
fisherman drifted about the spot for some
time, but being unable to discover any
thing that would solve the mystery of the
birds disappearance, was turning his
boat to row back to the cove when some
thing came to the surface near the shore
twenty-five yards below. The fisherman
rowcd down to the spot, and to his SUR
prise found an immense pickerel and
with it the kingisher. One of the king
fishers legs was between the great jaws
of the pickerel, the latter's long teeth
being set through and through it. The
kingtisher's long, keen bill was thrust
through the pickerel's body from side to
side, six inches below the head. The
situation explained itself. The pickerel
had seized the kingfsher as it was rising
from the water with the small fish and
pulled it back beneath the surface, ex-
pecting to dine on it. The big bird had
instinctively turned and jabbed its beak
through the pickerel, inaicting fatal
wound. The pickerel, with the bull
dog tcnacity of its kind. had kept its
hold on the birds leg, and the two had
died together and foated to the surface.
The position of thetwo was not changed,
and they have been sent q Rochester
taxidermist to be preserved and mounted
as they appear in their death embrace

Tea Tasting Extraordinary.

The managing director OF a bls tea
dealing firm, who is tea faster ana
blender of twenty-five years experience
saws the Pail Mall Gasstte, has lately
stated that he once saw a leading broker
have sixty teas, ranging. within a penny
per pound in value, weighed up. in dupi',
cate, the 12O pots numbered and mixed
up, he then picking out the sixty dupI-
Gates without single mistake. AS re-
CARDS educating the sense of smell, wlites
the tea dealer, ~ am strongly OF opinion
that it is possible, with constant practice
to value teas as correctly by smelling tine
infused leaf as by fasting. Ihave bought
thousands of chests in public sale by
smelling the infused leaf only, and have
constantly valued public sale teas on the
same plan. Nevertheless, for blending
purposes. it is absolutely necessary TO
taste. Ihad fourteen years experience
in tasting on the market, and LETT 1t
eleven years ago to enter the BLENDED Tea
trade. I then had to begin to learn what
7 never knew before-the art of blend
inc tea-and I am convinced that, Tor
this growing department of the trade, 1t
is not only necessary that man shoula
have good palate and keen sense OF
smell; but that he should, by constant at
tention, understand the art OF selecting
such teas as will blend with each other.
A man NAV have ever SO keen palate
and sense of smell, and be able to Valne
tea to a farthing per pound, and yet be
no blender.: Having produced a blend
successfully, the abilities of a blender are are
severely tried by his having to maintain
its quality and character, and nothing ou'

rance and skill will enable him to sue

Marriage Among the Kafilrs.

Marriages in China and India are bad
enough, but it seems the Kattir brides
have even worse hardships to undergo.
A Kaffir having fixed his affections
upon some female, acquaints his parents
with his intentions. They apply to the
girls parents, and if the latter do not
consent to the union fight is inevita-
bic. If the parents agree, the next pro-
cecding is to appoint, two expert female
neeotiators who obtain access by strate-
gem to the house, with the object of
broaching the subject to the young lady.
They carefully avoid any sudden or
abrupt mention of the awful subject of
their mission, but launch out in praises
of the man who seeks her hand. They
speak Of his possessions, his courage and
accomplishments. The glrl, pretending
to be affrontcd at these remote hints,
grows refractory and runs away, tearing
the ringlets of her hair as she retlrcs.
The female ambassadors, having got the
consent of the parents, drag her from her
concealment and carry her by force to the
house of her destined husband and there
leave her. She is compelled to live here
several days, silent and detected, refus-
ing food, till at last, if kind entreaties
do not prevail, she is made to submit by
blows to the union. The Katfir who has
the reputation of having committed
number of murders of Mohammedans en-
joys exceptional privileges; he is re-
spected by all the neighborhood, and ex-
periences little or no difficulty in procnr-
inc wife. The Kafir woman is doomed
to a life of toll and drudgery, and the
husband can discard her whenever he
feels so disposed.
