Laree Shipment of Birds.

Mr.. Emile Schuerman shipped at one
time nearly 5000 birds of several different
varieties to New York, from which place
they will be exported to Europe. The
shipment yesterday comprised sea pigeons
and several varieties of terms varying in
size, the largest being about the size of
common pigeon and the smallest aoout as
large as martin. The prevailing colors
of these birds are white and pearl in light
and dark shades, the points of the wings
and tails being tipped with black. These
birds are killed on Sand and Pettibois
islands, where they are partly prepared by
seven girls employed by Mr.. Scheurman.
They ale then shipped to this city and the
finishing touches are put on according to
the most approved methods known to the
taxidermists, by Mr.. Scheuerman and his
assistant, Mrs. Mamie Campbell.
The birds are prepared whole, retaining
all the beauty of the plumsge. These
birds are for use in the milliner's art, be-
ing used to adorn the hats and bonnets of
fashionable ladies. Some are dyed, while
others are used in their natural plumage.
In response to questions, Mr.. Scheuer-
man said he had been engaged in this
business for nearly two years, with much
success. There are only two other per-
sons engaged in the business IN the South,
one having headquarters at New Orleans
and the other at Charleston. He learned
taxidermy from a gentleman who had for
merly been connected with the Smithsonian
Institute The business of ulounting birds
for sale was not success. He had mounted
q great many, but there is no sale for
them. Since the first of June he has
shipped 10000 birds to New York, and
there is good demand for them.-Mobale

A Trees Record of Its Life.

1t is not known to every one that a tree
keeps record within its stem of the char
acter of each successive season since it
began its growth. II peach tree for in
stance, be examined after it has been cut
down, the ring of wood formed in each
year will show by it's amount whether the
summer of that year was warm or dry, or
otherwise favorable or adverse; and by the
condition of the wood, the character of the
winter will be denoted. Severe early frost
will leave layer of soft, decaying wood;
and later frosts will be indicated by
chan 90 of color, if nothing more.
If summer has been so dry as to cause
total rest between the growths of June
and September, the annual ring for that
wear will be double one, and sometimes
barely distipguishable as one, but liable to
be taken, by not very close observer, for
two different years growth.
At a late meeting Of the Botanical 80
ciety of Edinburgh, Sir Robert Christisun
gave the results of measurements OF large
trees of different species, made annually
on lines of girth marked permanently with
paint. In the very unfavorable season OF
1879, the deficiency in summer tempera-
ture was nearly ten degrees. In seven oak
trees, of different species, the deficiency IN
annual increase of girth was ten per CENT
Tn eleven other deciduous trees it was
forty two per cent and in seventeen plnes
it was twenty per cent, different species OF
the same family giving very nearly similar
results.-W., in Vick's Magazine.

The Mormon Church

is TREASONARuE AND HOSTILE TO THE q.
s. GOVERNMENTS RULES JUDGE AN
DERsoN, OF SALT LAKE CITY, IN HIS
DECISION REFUSING MORMoNs CITI-
ZENsHIP.
Judge Anderson in an elaborate and
carefully prepared opinion, denied the ap-
plication for citizenship made by Mormons
who had taken the Endowment House
oath in the Mormon Church. The appli-
cation has created widespread attention,
and for the past two weeks Judge Ander-
son has been taking testimony.
In his decision, he states the ground of
his opposition to the admission of such
applicants to be that the Mormon Church
is, and always has been reasonable Or
ganization in its teachings and practices,
and hostile to the government of the Uni
ted States, disobeGient to its laws and seek
ing its overthrow, and that the oath ad-
ministered to it's members in the Endow-
ment House bind them under penalty of
death to implicit obedience in all things tenn
poral as well as spiritual to the priest
hood, and to avenge the death ofthe proph-
ets Joseph ard Hiram Smith, upon the
government and people of the United
States.
The objections to the right of these ap-
plicants to be admitted to citizenship,
introduced eleven witnesses who had been
members of the Mormon church. Several
of these witnesses had held the position OF
bishop in the church and all had gone
through the Endowment House and partlc
ipsted in it's ceremonies. The testimony
of these witnesses as to the effect that
every mem Der of the church expected to

that nearly all do SO, that marriages are
usually solemnized there and that those
who are married elsewhere 60 through
the Endowment House ceremonies at as
early date thereafter as practicable, In
order that marital relation shall continue
throughout eternity. 1t was further
shown that these ceremonies occupy the
greater part of day, and include the
taking of an oath, obligation or covenant
by each that he or she, as the case may
bs. will avenge the blood of the prophets,
Joseph and Hiram Smith, upon the gov
eminent of the United States and that he
or she will descend the same to his or her
children into the third and fourth genera
lions; that he or she will obey the priest
hood in all things, and will never reveal
the secrets of the Endowment House under
penalty OF having thelr tnfoals GUY iion
ear to ear, .heir bowels torn out and their
hearts cut out of their bodies. The right
arm is anointed that it may be strong TO
ayenge the blood of the prophets. AN
under garment is then put on and 10 DC
worn ever after. On this robe, over Inc
heart, are certain marks or Designs IL
tended to remind the wearer of the penal
ties that will be inflicted in case of viola
ton of their oath.
On behalf of the applicants fourteen
witnesses testified concerning the endow-
ment ceremonies, but all of them declined
to state what oaths are there taken, what
ob,ie atoms or covenants are there entered
into into or what penalties are attached to their
violation, and these witnesses, when asked
for their reasons for declining to answer:
stated that they did SO con point OF
honor"

In the early part Of Surgeons ministry
he was asked to preach in neighboring

morning, Mr.. Brown, the pastor, said to
him: II did not know you were such q

people have come from all parts in all

However, he did preach, and MIR. Brown

Home-Woman's Realm.

Home is the habitat of woman. In the
home, all that is characteristically femi-
nine in woman unfolds and fourishes.
Home without woman is misnomer, for
woman makes the home, and home is what
she makes it. If she is illiterate, her
home partakes of this quality; if she is
immoral, her home cannot be the abode of
virtue. If she is coarse, refinement does
not dwell where she resides. If she is
cultured, pure, refined, these qualities will
characterize the home which she creates.
The higher the degree of her culture, her
purity, her refinement, the more will these
qualities characterize the home of which
she is the center. The self that woman
takes with her in her marriage is her real
dover. If her dover can be reckoned in
numerals only, no matter how many they
may be, wrecked indeed will be her hus-
band, impoverished her children. But if
she possess industry, gentleness, self
abnegation, purity, intelligence, COM
bined with capabilitY, she is in herself g
treasure of treasures. -AnaeTic0a Agadcul-
tar5st.

Bill Arp's Advice to Boys.

1t is an old saying that if a young man
saves his first $1,000 he will get rich-that
is SO ia nine cases out of ten-yes, IL he
will save his first 800, he will succeed,
and any young man can save that much in
a year if he will let whisky and tobacco
and society girls alone-society will keep
a poor young man poor. 1t keeps married
folks poor. am thinking now Of a mar
ried man who is bowed down with debt
while his family is trying to keep on the
ragged edge of society. A milliner makes
their clothes and they are just obliged to
ride in carriage when they go visiting.
Such people are the town talk and they
don't know it. There are nice young men
in town who have been clerking for years
and haven't laid up dollar. They must
take a girl to every show that comes along
and spend S. on every dance, for those
who dance.must pay the fiddler. Capital
is very particular nowadays. When CAPT
tai wants young man it looks around for
one who dosen't drink or smoke or gamble,
one who saves his money and doesn't run
about at night. Family influence isn't
worth cent now. A man stands on his
merits, his habits, his associations. Young
man, there is blue book in every town,
and your name is on it. But there is no
excuse for young man failing to get en-
ployment in this country. If he does not
it is his own fault. IT he can't get rich
fast he can slow # he will begin young
and work and behave himself he will &C
cumulate plenty for his old age. Old age
wants money. IL wants rest and should
have it. "Otium cuna diqnitate' is the
Latin for dignifed leisure, but heard
Judge Thomas say it meant rest comes
after digging" Dig first and rest after
wards. Old age don't want to get up cold
winter mornings and make the fire and
cook the breakfast.

A DOGS Extraordinary Fidelity.

A remarkable case of animal intelligence
and fidelity has developed in Jackson, Ca
Every one in that city knew the late DR..
Watson's little dog Zolla, that used to fol-
low him everywhere and often ride beside
him in his buggy seat. He would come
every morning to his masters office, and
If he did not find him there would run
over to the livery stable to see If the
doctors buggy was gone, and II it was, he
would follow the track until he had found
him. When his master was in the coffin
little Zolla was held up SO he could see his
face, and showed signs Of intense grief.
He was at the funeral at Woodbine ceme-
terry. and was the last one to linger at the
new-mads grave.
Since that time he has visited the grave
night and morning, and is often seen sit
ting upon ii keeping watch, as though he
expected his kind friend and master to
come forth. He is often seen wandering
alone on the streets at night, and a gentle
man, whose profile and beard somewhat
resemble DR.. Watson's, has told US that
little Zolla has often walked in front OF
him and gazed into his face, and even
followed him home and sat for hours in
front Of his door waiting for him TO come
out so that he might get one more look at
his face SO much like the one treasured
n his memory.

Sun Yourself

Sleepless people-and there are many in
court the sun. The very
worst soporidc is laudanum /; the very best
is sunshine. Therefore, it is very plain
that poor sleepers should pass as many
hours of the day as possible in the sun
shine, as few as possible in the shade.
Many women are martyrs and do not know
it. They shut the sunshine out OF their
houses and their hearts. They wear wells,
they carry parasols. They do all that is
possible to keep off the snbtlest and yet
the most potent influence which is intended
to give them strength and beauty and
Isit not time to change all
this, to get the roses and color in our pale
cheeks, strength in our weak souls? The
women In America are pale and delicate.
They may be blooming and strong, and
the sunlight will be potent influence in
this transformation. The Home.

Where Do They Ali Co /?

Every minute Of the day seventy human
beings are brought into existence and
sixty seven are removed, says writer.
The population of the world is steadily in
creasing at the rate Of three per minute,
or 4, $50 per day, more than /, 500, 900 per
per year. Just think of the yearly in
crease Of man being equal to the entire
population OF the State Of Iowa. Where
do they all got The home Of the human
race, as far as we are able to learn, was in
Asia, and from there all the nations have
come. The rapid increase of population
in the United States shows the tendency
OF the race to scatter and seek new fields.
