unconscious condition. Touching her with
her queenly scepter, Bertha awoke, and
after she had somewhat recovered from her
astonishment, the queen said to her:
Welcome, my child, in the land OF the
frozen violets; may your future be happier
than your past"
Not needing these remarks, Bertha said:
''Where am and what will become of me?"
'You are in no danger whatever, replied
the queen, "do not be afraid, and if you do
as 1 tell you your future happiness will be
assured. You will forget that you ever
lived with a horrid, hard-hearted woman
like your aunt"
"Well. what do you want me to do?"
"Listen and YOU shall hear. 1t is now
over a thousand years ago wEen and the
people of my country had terrible war

Ogo's subjects coming into our land and

course such thing was a grave otfense
upon ourselves, and we realized that only
bloody war could give us the opportunity
of getting even with Ogo and his people.
So the war was commenced in all its fury.
A good many brave soldiers fell on both
sides, but as we were in the majority, hav-
ing twice as many soldiers rs Ogo, we at
last succeeded to gain a glorious victory.
In the last battle Ogo himself was killed.
But that was our misfortune, as you will
see. Had we left him alive there would
not have been much harm done. Ogo, you

QUEER TREES.
Long Chains, Harrow Teeth, and Scythe
Blade Found in Them.

Didut cOuHu AueIus
Among the queer things in Connecticut,
says an Ansonia special to the New York
Sun, are its trees Up in Middletown last
week it was necessary to cut down tree in
the rear of Outings cigar store. Several
bricks were found imbedded in the roots, so
that only the corners were visible.
Over in Cobalt a large and particularly
straight tree was felled early in the fall,
and last week it was drawn to the saWmill.
After starting the saw the attendant heard
a grating of the saw teeth, and stopped the
mill. He tried another cut, but again the
grating sound was heard, and he had to shut
down again. Several further attempts to
saw the length of the log proving futile the
trunk was sawed across, and an old log
chain and dozen harrow teeth were dis
covered imbedded in the hard-grained
wood.
In Westfeld boulder weighing over
half a ton is to be seen about ten feet from
the ground in the crotch of an enormous
apple tree, and old residents say that they
can remember when that boulder could be
sat upon, SO near to the ground was it when
they were young.
A Saybrook farmer tells the story about
his hanging a scythe in a maple tree several
years ago, after a days moving. The scythe
was left there all winter and the next sum-
mer, until the time for haying came round
again. On going to get the scythe he found
the blade so deeply imbedded in the soft
bark of the maple as to be immovable, and
he let it remain. The tree is vet standing
in the front yard of fashionable residence
in that village, and from each side of the
trunk projects two arms, forming letter T.
apparently part of the tree themselves. The
scythe blade has been entirely covered with
bark. The handle of the scythe years ago
rotted off,

WOMEN AND THEIR VICTIMS.
The Fashion ofWearing Birds as Trimmings
For Bonnets.

The Fashion OfWearing Birds as Trimmings
For Bonnets.
The London Hospital
1t was hoped some time ago that the
fashion of wearing the dead bodies of birds
as trimming for bonnets and hats was going
out. Such hope, apparently, is doomed to
disappointment. Perhaps the day may
come when people who have little regard
for such helpless creatures as birds will
give them up to their fate. 1t really seems
to be of no use to try to protect them. The
loafer from the East End of London goes
forth with bisi cages and his lime, and
catches them. He, however, mostly retains
the male. The other bird murderer also
goes forth on his cruel errand, and, by pre-
ference, catches and retains the female. He
takes her in the nesting season, because the
feathers are soft and beautiful then. What
matters it to him that the victim is often
the mother of nest-full of helpless young,
and that they are left in the nest to die OF
starvation; to die while piteously crying out
hour after hour for the mother that never
came? The mother birds are killed, and
the young left to die of starvation, because
certain women insist that it shall be so.
Yet how gentle, and sympathetic, and
tender those very women can pretend to be
when it suits their good manners. How
shocked they are by vulgarity; how horri-
fed by coarsenessI
If they could see themselves exactly as
some men see them; could have it once
driven in upon their conscience, that, in the
estimation OF all rational and right-feeling
men, they are incomparably inferior to
many costermongers, crossing-sweepers, and
untaught African negroes, they might for
one moment pause and reflect upon their
worthlessness. Is it really, then, come to
this: That nineteenth century woman is
so utterly selfish, so hopelessly without
brains or feeling, and so incapable of learn
ing even the very elements of humanity,
that she must and will have birds to adorn
herself with, at whatever cost?

BALLOON ADVENTURES.
Professor King Gives Some Interesting Ex.

Professor King Gives Some Interesting Ex.
periences Way Up in the Clouds.
Nashville Americana
To some extent rain retards upward pro-
gress, but I have made number of ascen-
sionsin the face of storms. Snow, however.
is much more of an obstacle, and in short
time will accumulate upon the top of the
balloon sufficiently to drive it to the earth.
The clouds are sometimes as much as 8. 600
feet from top to bottom when the sky is en-
tirely overcast. Often even above such a
body of clouds may be seen smaller clouds
with clear spaces in between. When with
in one of these spaces the sensation is that
of being in vault. With the solid snowy
clouds below you and the smaller clouds
around you being by perspective brought
close around, 1t appears as if you were in a
cavern.
1 have been above the clouds during a
snowstorm, and the light of the moon shin
ing so brightly through the rarifed air pro-
duced an illumination rather supernatural
l have very frequently passed through
frozen clouds. This is where vapor has
fallen below the freezing point and being
CONCEALED into a substance resembling fiour
in appearance. This falls, and in doing so
reaches higher temperature, where the
small particles are aggregated into fakes of
snow.
Some clouds, however, present very much
the appearance of veil, and objects on the
earth can be distinctly discerned from a
position above them.
l have never known of an instance in
which balloon was hit by lightning. The
thunder does not make perceptibly greater
noise than when you are on the ground. The
sound proceeds from the upper layers of
clouds, as does also the rain; and in many
cases, when the lower strata appear yery
: violent, perfect quiet there reigns, except
for such motion as is produced by the rain
falling through from above. The upper
currents are most active, and cyclone or a
wild storm is perhaps produced according as
those upper currents descend to or remain
above the earth.

weeks old. Since then Bertha had been
living in the house of an old uncle of hers.
But from the first day she entered her
uncle's family, her troubles and hardships
commenced.
Her uncle was very kind to her, it is
true, but unfortunately for Bertha he was
50 rarely at home, she sometimes would not
see him for six months. During all that
time she remained in the power of her aunt,
who liked Bertha not at all.
The aunt had great number Of children
and they were all very homely looking
girls. But Bertha was a very beautiful
child, whose face shone always forth from
the ugliness of her cousins like rose would
appear among half dozen buttercups. 1t
had made her aunt envious, and whenever
the opportunity presented itself, the woman
began to Scold the child for her beauty, as
if it were sin and shame not to have face
that would frighten dog in the street.
As q result of her auut's anger Bertha
had to do all the work in the house, while
the cousins, the ugly girls, would walk
around to show the people their fine dresses
and jewelrv. None of them would ever for
a fork or wash a dish. No; that all re-
mained for Bertha to do. And if she would
take it into her head to sit down for mo-
ment and rest, her aunt would pounce down
upon her with a broomstick-
Hurry up, you lazy mink" she would
scold. "do YOU think that it might spoil
your complexion to do little work? Mind
YOU, if YOU have an idea that 1 took you
into nv house and family as an ornament
you are very much mistaken. No, 1 did
not like to see you starve, at least my hus-
band did not, and that is the only reason
why YOU are here. Don't ever forget that
but for me you would have died death of
starvation and gone into a pauper's grave"
Poor Bertha never replied anything to
these harsh, Unfeeling words of her aunt,
but she would work even more and more,
every day hoping that the woman would at
last be satisfied and treat her more gently.
But that was vain hope. In her utter
despalr Bertha at last resolved to fly and
find situation as servant in some other
home She was willing to work, but to be
ALWAYS scolded and punished for no cause
whatever was too hard even for the meekest
girl to bear.
So, one night when her aunt and cousins
had all retired to their beds, the poor or
phan girl crept quietly from her little attic
room and ran out of the house. 1t was a
terrible night for anyone to be out, but
Bertha had no fear She knew that there
could not be place in the world as bad as
the one she left, and whatever would befall
her must be an improvement upon her
present position.
Bertha ran along the road all night, and
the farther she went the fewer were the peo-
pie and the houses she passed. AT last,
morning dawned over the hills, and when
our lonely wanderer saw the sun, like a
large, red ball, rise above the horizon, ii
gave her new hope and fresh energy. She
continued her way until she arrived at an
immense, thick forest. For moment she
stood still, thinking whether to enter the
wood or go another way.
"I will sit down and eat the crust of
bread 1 brought with me-" she muttered to
herself" and afterward can decide what
may do next"
