The P1umage of the Albatross.

The most valuable part of the alba
tross is its plumage. The neck, breast
and belly are snowy white, shading deli
cately into gray and dusky brown at the
sides and back and the feathers are so
curled and elastic that the skin with the
plumage on it is an inch or an inch and a
half thick. No finer material can be got
for muffs, cuffs, collarets, capes or the
trimming or lining of cloaks and robes.
1t is very light, yet exceedingly warm,
while for appearance it's dove like
smoothness and purity cannot be ex-
celled. 1t has the advantage, too, of
being very durable, the natural oil of the
bird preserving the skin and feathers for
many years, while the characteristic
musky odor is easily overcome by cams
phor.
1t is a wonder that some enterprising
furrier or modiste does not set the fashion
of wearing albatross plumage and send
to Antipodes or the Crosets for a seasons
supply. There would be money in it,
not only by its novelty but by its useful
ness. At the same time l hope it will
not be done, because if once the skin of
the albatross acquired commercial
value and the ruthless hand of fashion
were laid on its smooth, white neck, the
poor bird would soon be driven from it's
secluded haunts and might even be i'll
danger of determination. May the day
be far distant when the trader shall in
wade the home of the albatross OF the
pot hunter disturb it's ancient solitary
reign.-Exchange.

A Ready Reply.

Luguet in his early days was ssupe,"

tant dispatch, on the contents of which
the plot of the drama turned. BY mis-
take the property man had given him a
blank piece of paper to hand to the

words which ought to have been written
on the dispatch, was in quandary. He
thought he had cleverly extricated him.

back to Luguet with the command,

London Billboard Revenues.

Certain spots in London that are occu-
pied with billboards for theater posters
and other advertising contrivances are
becoming as valuable as though they
held the finest buildings. A little cor
ner of land in Victoria street, Westmin-
ster, that has remained waste for some
thing like twenty years, abuts on one Of
the lofty palaces that flank Victoria
street, and it seems an easy and natural
thing to build new wing ON it. The
owner was asked whether it was not a
sad thing for him to have this land, one
Of the most valuable sites in London, un-
occupied. He smiled a satisfied smile,
pointed to the billboards and mentioned
the income derived from the advertise
ments. Asked if he should build, "De-
cidedly not" was the reply.-Cor. Bos-

The Bic Desert Can Re Reclaimed,

Dybowski's communication is to show
how abundant this is at small depths be-

when once planted, can reach it with

continuously. He advocates system of

A Curious Library,

In 1867 q rich collector of stamps.
coins, eggs, woods, etc., presented the
town museum at Cassel, Germany, with
one of the most remarkable set of books
known to the bibliomaniac or botanist-
o library of 500 volumes, each a book
made of different kind of wood. The
book of each volume is formed of the
bark of tree, the sides of the wood in
its mature state, the top of the wood as
taken when young, and the bottom of
the same wood after it has been dried
and seasoned. When opened the book
is found to be without leaves, box
shaped, containing the flower, seed,
fruit and leaf of the tree of which the
box book is made. Australia is said to
have over 1000 species of trees large
enough to work up into books after the
fashion of those in the Cassel museum.
At the time Of the Melbourne colonial
exposition of 1866 Col Clamp exhibited
large collection of woods made into
books, each alphabetically arranged, and
labeled with both the common and the
scientific name of the species of wood
from which the dainty little wooden
volumes were fashioned. The collection
was gotten up to show the wonderful
possibilities of Australian forestry. TAX
ing advantage of the wooden library at
Cassel and the commendable efforts of
Col. Clamp, the antipodean wood col
lector, Russia employed cabinetmaker

which were classified and arranged for

ton of the year last named. AS with

collection showed the wood in its several
growths, as well as fruit, leaves and
seeds, either natural or initiated in wax

OVER WILD BILLS GRAVE.
BsIutes Fired by FrOntiersmen In Honor
of the Dead Shots Memory.

BsIutes Fired by FrOntiersmen In Honor
of the Dead Shots Memory.
There has been another red letter day
In the history of Deadwood. That was
the day on which Wild Bill was killed by
McCaull. Though popular man, Bill
was dead shot, and McCaull could not
have killed him If he had not approached
him treacherously. McCaull was imme-
Siiately locked up, but the excitement be-
came so great that mob assembled for
the purpose of trying, convicting and
lynching him. While the proceedings
were in progress the clatter of hoofs was
heard and a man ON horseback appeared
riding at full speed with his reins in his
teeth and with rife in one hand and an
Indians dripping head in the other. He
had shot and killed the Indian just out
side Of Deadwood, and the event was
considered of so much Importance that
the crowd forgot its lynching and pro-
soeeded to crafty its thirst for vengeance
by contemplating the CORY trophy which
rolled at its feet. McCaull was after
ward taken to Yankton, where he was
hanged by the neck in lawful manner
Wild Bill was buried in the old ceme-
terry with rude white board at his
head, but, five years later some of his
friends exhumed the body and gave it
proper burial in the new cemetery on
Mount Moriah. 1t was reported at that
time that Wild Bills body had turned
tostone, and man came here not long
afterward and offered the undertaken
$15,000 if he would help him steal it for
purposes of exhibition. Since then there
have been many inquiries about the case,
but no one believes that the body was
petrifed. Bills new grave on the mount
ain top shows that it is the resort Of
many curiosity seekers. A path is worn
across lots to it from the main wagon
road, and the white headboard has been
whitfield away by relic hunters until it
resembles big toothpick.
One man appears to have worked a
knot out of the board, and the ground
all about the well beaten grave is cover
ed with cartridge shells. There are
frontiersmen, it appears, who show their
regard for Bills memory by standing
upon his grave and emptying their re-
volYers into the air, throwing away their
cartridge shells as they reload. The other
day the city marshal found it necessary
to run in one Of these fellows, who had
done little else for week except shoot
his revolvers over Wild Bills grave. The
man appeared to have genuine regard
for the dead mans memory, and as he
submitted to arrest he expressed his
sense of the outrage in most forcible
terms. ms.-Cor. Chicago Herald.

why Crabs and Lobsters Are Red.

The shell Of the crab and lobster owes
its blush gray color to the superpositioh
Of two pigments or coloring matters
which have been isolated-a red pigment
and blue one. AS long as these two
pigments exist simultaneously the crus-
taceans remain gray. But the blue pig
1snent is very fugitive, and sometimes
under the influence Of a disease it is de-
sfroyed, and crabs are found with por-
tions of their shell more or less reddish
When the crustaceans are immersed in
boiling water the blue pigment is en-
itirely destroyed, and the red pigment,
which is very stable, appears alone in all
Its brilliancy.-La Science en- Famille.

Bees in Church.

Three years ago swarm of bees en-
tered the spire of the Congregational
church at Magnolia, la. They have
passed three winters there and appear
to be doing well. The church stands
where it is exposed to our severe storms
from all directions. The spire is covered
with inch lumber, which is mostly COW
cred with tin. The cavity occupied
equals ten ordinary hives. The large
cavity does not prevent swarming, as
quite number of swarms have been Sc

her grandchild Mabel. And many Mabel
has found it to be true, and she has taken
care of her health. She keeps on hand sup
ply of DR.. Pierce's FavOrite Prescription, and
so is not troubled with those wasting diseases,
weaknesses, " dragging down" sensations and
functional irregularities that so many women
endure. 1t is the only medicine for women,
sold by druggists, under a positive guar
antee from the manufacturers, that it will
give satisfaction in every case, or money will
be refunded. This guarantee has been printed
on the bottle-wrappers, and faithfully carried
out for many years.
"Favorite Prescription " is legitimate med
icine, not beverage. Contains no alcohol to
inebriate; no syrup or sugar to derange diges-
ton. AS peculiar in its remedial results as in
its composition.
AS powerful, invigorating tonic, it imparts
strength to the whole system, particularly to
the womb and its appendages. For feeble
women generally, DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-

unequaled as an appetizing cordial and re-
storative tonic, or strength-giver.
