WHERE BIRDS SUMNER.

The Northern Breeding Grounds of Many
Migratory Fowls.
Until the acquisition of Alaska by the
United States, it was a wonder where
certain wild fowl went when they mi
grated from temperate chimes on the APP
prOaGh of summer, as we'll as snOwbirds
and other small species of the feathered
tribe. 1t was afterward found that their
habitat in summer was the waters of
Alaska, the Yukon river and the lakes
Of that hyberborean region. A reporter
lately interviewed c. j. Green, of Nor
ton Sound, Alaska, and he confirmed
pie wonder where the wild fowl come
FROM" said he. ''They see the sandhill
crane, wild goose, heron and other fowl
every spring and fall pursue their I'M
wearied way, but like the wind, they do
not know whence they come or whittier
they go. Up on Golovine bay, on the
north shore of Norton Sound, is the
breeding place of these fowls.
Cali the birds in creation, seemingly,
go to that country to breed. Geese,
ducks. swans and thousands upon thou
sands of sand-t ill cranes are swarming
there all the time. They lay their eggs
in the bluestem grass in the lowlands,
and if you go up the river little way
from the bay the noise of the wild fowl
is almost deafening. Myriads of rob-
bins and swallows are there, as well as
millions of magnificent grouse, wearing
red combs and feather moccasins. This
grouse turns as white as snow in winter
You can kill dozens of juicy teal ducks
Or grouse as fat as butter balls in few
moments. The wild fowl and bears live
on salmon berries and huckle-berries,
with which all the hills are literally
covered. Historian.

Effects of AnthrOpOtoxine.

Every one knows that the air Of a
close room in which many persons are
sitting becomes bad, and that it is in
furious. For long time the injurious
effects have been attributed to carbo mic
acid gas, but recent experiments con-
Quoted by capable observers would seem
to show that this is an error. 1t has
been found that air containing very
large amounts of pure carbonic acid gas
can be breathed with absolute impunity,
but that air spoiled by the breathing Of
human beings contains small quantities
of one or more very poisonous substances,
to which Prof. DebOis- Raymond has
given the name anthropotOxine. or hui
man poison. To this alone is due the
nervousness of the air in unventilated
rooms. Recent experiments of French
scientists show that this poison comes
from the lungs. But the fact that the
poison has been named. and that we know
just where it comes from, doesn't make it
any more wholesome Her
aid.

NON SINE LACRYMlS.

1t was that hour when vernal Earth
And stormy March prepare
To greet the day Of Aprils fearful birth
That l. o'ercome with care,
Rose with the twilight from q freless hearth
To take the fresh first air
And smile of mornings mirth.
Tired with old grief s self-pitying moan,
A mile had not strayed
Ere my dim path grew dark with double zone
OF men full fair arrayed,
While bIent with sound Of battle-trumpets
blown
Came. as through light comes shade,
Cries like an undertone.
-Plumed with torn cloud. March led the way,
With spear-point keen for thrust,
And eager eyes, and harnessed form swathed
gray
With drifts Of wind blown dust.
Round his bruised buckler in bright letters lay
This scroll which toilers trust:
Non sine pulUere
Wet as from weltering showers and seas,
April came after him.
He held a cup with saddest imageries
Engraven. and round the rim,
Worn with woes lip, spelt out words like
these,
Though sorrow stained and dim:
Non sine ldcrynais.
These passed like regal spirits crowned,
Stroag March and April fair;
And then sphere-made music slow unwound
It's soul upon the air.
And soft as exhalations from the ground,
Or spring flowers here and there,
These words rose through the sound:
MAN needs these two in this worlds mol,
Earth's drought and dew OF spheres,
eGriefs freshening rain to lay the dust Of toll,
Tolls dust to dry the tears.
To all who rise wrestlers in lIfe's coil
Time gives. with days and years,
The wrestler's sand and Oil"
o Toll in vain without surcease!
OGrief no hand can stay!
Think these words when work or woes in
crease:
Man. made OF tears and clay.
Grows to full stature and Gods perfect peace,
Non sine putrere
Non sine idcryntis
