| number of small poentates is so popular or
sells SO readily fora large sum as the huge, gay
umbrella of which Brussels now produces tons

much priced by the black kinglats who sit
beneath their grateful shade. What the canopy
used to be to the travelling monarchs in the

innumerable feudal cheftains of the Congo to-
day. The accredited umbrella makers in Brus-

mander of a detachment of Dutch colonial
troops which happened to be on board i'm

and crew, for although the entire company
were then transferred to the boats with perfect

down as the last boat left her side. She carried
with her SIX prlvates and an officer, who doubt
less had been overwhelmed by the waters rush
ing IN at the point of collision.

to get on the keers. I'm going ter Wells and
never been on the keers before" He spoke il

AMONG the trophies brought home by the
French army from an eastern expedition was
specimen OF bird rarely, if at ALL seen in
Europe. This is the celebrated Chinese or
rather Manchoorian lark. He is larger bird
than his European congener; his notes are more
brilliant, and his natural repertoire if the ex
preston may be used, is more extensive Rut
the most noticeable feature is his wonderful
promptness and skill of mimicry initiating
most natural sounds which he hears-the notes
and songs of other birds the cawing of crows
the Growing of cocks, the braying of the
donkey, even the barking of dogs The Chinese
turn TINS faculty to account, and train the Iark
to sing many airs.
