night on the schooner Mary Kimball. He
reports that his ship was wrecked April 26
on Hennine's rock, Lanck Island, in Behr-

The Oneida had on board 110 Chinese and
forty-five white men, nearly all of whom
were on their way to the salmon cannery on
Lanck Island. On the afternoon of April
26, when the Oneida reached her destina-

wer with Mothers 1ears.

There once was woman who had little
son about z years old, who was so lovely and
beautiful that no one could look upon him
without being kind to him, and he was dearer
to her than all the world beside. 1t happened
that he suddenly fell i'll and died, and his
mother would not be comforted, but wept for
him day and night. Shortly after he wac
buried he showed himself at night in the
places where be had been used in his lifetime
to sit and play, and when his mother .wept he
wept also, and when the morning came he
departed. Since his mother never ceased
weeping, the child came one night in the lit
tie white shroud in which he had lain in his
coffin, and with the chaplet upon his head,
and seating himself at her feet upon the bed,
he cried:
"Oh, mother, mother, give over crying, or
else cannot stop in my coffin, for my shroud
is never dry because Of your tears, for they
fall upon it."
When the mother heard this she was sore
afraid, and wept no more. And the babe
came upon another night, holding in his
hand little taper, and he said:
Look, muther, my >hroud is now quite
dry, and can rest in my grave"
Then she bowed to the will OF Providence
and bore her sorrow with silence and pa
thence, and the little child returned not again,
but slept in his underground bed.-German

Against Dry Cured Grass.
In recent bulletin of the Ohio Ex-
peri nent station, Mr.. Clarence NJ. Weed
reports that little insect, called the
buffalo tree-hopper has done much dam
age to fruit trees lately. The following
account of the pest is given:
The buffalo tree-hopper is a small
greenish or yellowish insect, about one
third of an inch long. which is general
1y rather common during the late sum-
mer and early autumn months. A fair
idea of its form, which has been COM
pared to that of beech-nut, may be OBJ
tanned from thee illustration here given
It's mouth consists of sharp beak,
which it inserts into the bark and sucks
the sap. The eggs are laid in the upper
part of the twigs of apple, pear, maple
and various other fruit and shade trees,
mostly during the late summer or early
autumn months. They hatch the fol-
lowing May into small. active. greenish
hoppers, somewhat like the adults in
appearance, which insert their tiny
beaks in the tender bark and. suck out
the sap. They become full-grown about

nearly fifty years, and the few specimens
now in possession OF museums are re-
garded as extremely valuable. The
price paid for this specimen in 1868 was
$625. The species was abundant in the
waters of the northe astern coast as far
south as Nahant, and on Audubon's bay
was remembered as not at all rare.
Forty specimens only are known to sci
ence, four of them being in museums in
this country. Several young marine
birds are here represented. such as the
Mother Carey's chicken.
The birds of South America are next
arranged, where will be seen the same
classification, the thrushes of that coun.
try leading. 1t will prove instructive to
compare the family group of individual
species with those of other countries.
Although the birds of South America
are the more brilliant in color, other
countries show varieties quite as inter
esting in other respects. The bell.
bird utters notes that clearly simulate
the tones of convent bell heard at
distance. The elongated waffle on its
beak is hollow, and connected with the
nostrils, and is thought to be instrumen.
tai in the production of the strange
notes.
