Tricks of the Birds.

81 was much amused one afternoon,
says an observant friend, "by little
family scene on twig of an elm tree,
where fly catcher had her tiny brood of
five, just out of the nest, all perched in
q row. She was feeding them, and the
little dots took their rations with great
content as often as the mother caught an
insect and flew back with the morsel to
each open beak in turn. The regularity
with which she kept account, feeding one
after another, in exact order, from top
TO bottom of the row, was very interest
ing Presently one small chap grew i'm
patient, and while the mother was away
futtered over and crowded himself into
the place next to the bird last fed-ex-
actly as if he had planned to get the next
fly. He sat there, looking very sober and
innocent when the mother returned, but
she saw the trick at once, and gave the
fly to the right bird, whisking the inter
loper (as l fancied) with her wing as she
passed him, by way of cutting his ears.
Probably he was the rogue of the family,
and she knew him too well. Boston

When List Lived In a Flat.

Wrapped in his dressing gown, and
with feet incased in slippers, Franz List
was sitting comfortably one evening in
his arm chair, ready for work and invit-
ing inspiration. On the floor above, in
the apartments of a banker, a noisy
musical soiree was in progress. Polon-
aises had succeeded waltzes, and noe
turnes had followed polonaises, when
suddenly the door of the salon opened
and List entered, still wrapped in his
dressing gown. The establishment of the
company may be imagined. With slow
steps List walked toward the piano, and
the young key FOUNDER who was sitting
at it quickly left his place. List sat
down at theinstrument, carelessly swept
his fingers over the keys as if to prelude,
and then suddenly he shut down the
cover and put the key in his pocket.
And Immediately, with the same tran
quill air with which he had entered, he
went out and returned to his room,
where he could work at his ease.-San
Francisco Argonaut.

At "A Maine Funeral.

A Maine clergyman, who evidently is
somewhat interested in the matter OF
funeral reform, writes: "Some time ago
l attended funeral which took place on
the outskirts of civilization AT the
close Of the services, as usual in the
country, an invitation was given to the
audience to view the remains After
they had done so the relatives of the de-
ceased went forward to take their last
look at the familiar features, and natur-
ally We're much affected, some of them
sobbing and crying ill an audible manner.
When all We're again seated the person
who had charge Of the funeral arose and
remarked, We will now allow the friends
a few minutes to git control Of their
feelin's,' shen resumed his seat, while
the silence was only broken by the sound
of signs and weeping, which gradually
died away. 1t struck me as an innova-
ton upon the usual funeral customs, but
no one there seemed at all surprised" -

A Large Hydraulic Riveting Plant.

An immense hydraulic riveting plant
the largest ever made-has been built
in London for an engineering company
in Holland, and is to be employed on
marine boilers. The riveter has a gap 12
feet deep, closes its jaws with power of
200 tons, and is capable of closing rivets
up to 81 inches in diameter. A travel
ing crane, 80 feet high, is designed to
raise and manipulate boiler weighing
anything up to 80 tons. The crane is
operated by two engines, steam for
which and the powerful pumps giving
hydraulic power for the riveter's great
accumulation is supplied by two steel
boilers, each capable of doing duty equal
to about 100 indica,ed horse power

Ninety-six Feet of Snowfall In Colorado

Ninety-six Feet of Snowfall In Colorado.
Did you ever stop to think and fgur,
up how much loose snow actually falls
in the course of an average mountain
Colorado winter? If you have, didn't
the amount amaze you? At Kokomo in
1SS4-5, by actual daily measurements,
something like ninety-six feet of the
beautiful fell between Nov. and June
l. Of course it kept on settling all the
time, and when spring opened up there
wasn't more than six or seven feet on
the ground. The snowfall at Kokomo is
generally twice or three times what it is
at Dillon, yet the amount that fell here
during the winter of 18S9-90 sounds like
big yarn, but the figures given below
are absolutely correct and were care
fully recorded daily by Mr.. Pratt at
Ryan Gulch. just north Of town.
Amount of snowfall, gagged at point
one mile north of Dillon, between the
first day of November, 1889, and May 10,
1890: November, 8S inches; December, 81
inches; January, 81 inches; February, IL
inches; March, 10 inches; April. 20
inches; May, II understanding a total
Of 20 feet 10 inches. About eight-tenths
Of this snow fell during the night time,
and nearly one-half Of 1t was very damp,
settling rapidly as it fell. These figures
seem preposterous, yet Dillon is not much
Of place for snow either, and gets less
of the beautiful than any other town in
the county.-Dillon Enterprise.

Metal In Bookbinding.

Metal has for some time been very ad-
vantageously used in the binding of
books as substitute for cardboard. A
special preparation is first necessary, and
the leather may be bent and Strengthened
again without perceptible damage, a
course of treatment that would destroy
cardboard covers. The metal is covered
with any material that taste may die
tate, and the finished book shows no
difference in appearance excepting in
greater thinness of the cover, which is
always desirable.-New York Telegram.

How the Men at the Khedive Lode We're
Revenged at Lightning Speed.

Revenged at Lightning Speed.
In the mountains the miners frequent
~ make their descent into the valleys by
asing piece of 'qualsing ash" bark as a
toboggan. but oftener rely on the tenaci-
ty of their heavy canvas overalls.
To some this method of transportation
may seem absurd or impossible, but ii is
fact nevertheless; men do go down the
fearful slopes on the soft snow from the
top of two mile ridge in that manner
faster than they ever did on sled when
boy.
At the KheGive lode the miners had
long borne a grudge against the super
intendent, an overbearing ignoramus; SO
they swore they would get even with
him some day.
The Khedive was located just two
miles above the old government road
leading to Gothic, at bend, called 1.-THE
Crook" and it required an hours hard
climbing on foot to get up to the mine
from there.
One morning the superintendent came
as usual to Inspect" as he termed it,
but really to curse and rant around be-
cause the men could not make 800 ore
yield 81 900.
The miners were just about tired Of
his tyranny and several suggested the
propriety of giving him pounding.
However, Providence, who sometimes
advocates the cause of the poor miner
as well as that of the rich nabob who
owns the property, came to the mems
assistance at this critical juncture.
The obnoxious superintendent was ex-
pecting some important instructions
from headquarters. and gave orders that
if telegram came to dispatch clerk
ON horseback until he reached 1.-THE
Crook" and there to discharge his pistol.
While tearing around, cursing the
miners as was his won't suddenly shot
rang out on the clear air and, looking
down into the valley, all saw a messenger
waving paper.
The anxious superin tendent was in a
fix; he wanted that telegram in a hurry,
but knew that the steep trail would
demand an hours hard work to reach
there.
At this moment the wag of the crew
stepped up to him and offered big iron
scoop shovel, suggesting that if he sat in
that he could go down the hill quickly
and safely.
The superintendent had often seen the
descent made on the snow as stated, but
he did not see the roguish twinkle in the
mans eye as he took the proffered i'm
plement.
His trousers were thin, SO grasping the
handle and sitting in the concave part
of the shovel, he shot down the declivity;
faster and faster he went until he fairly
flew.
His seat by the terrible friction grew
warmer and warmer as he sped recklessly
on, but there was no stopping until the
bottom was reached. He was literally
roasted; but the miners had their re-
venge.-Kansas City Globe.

Rehin,l Time.

Some people go through life behind
time. If they say they will come at
3, they mean half past 3; and when they
finally put in an appearance they do it
leisurely and good naturally, and are
mildly surprised If you insinuate that
you are displeased. When they die,
though, their friends will be avenged,
because they will probably reach the
gates of heaven ten minutes behind time
and find them closed.-West Shore.

Analysis Of Pine straw.

According to the Southern Cult
ratOr. Prof. W. b. Burney, chemist
of the department of agriculture
ol South Carolina, has been inyeb.
tigaling The manurlal value ol
pine straw IN is fresh state, before
ii has been subjected to The leach
ing action of the rains. Samples
of pine straw were gathered from
the long leaf, medium leaf and
! short leaf pine while IN Il greer,
state.
The analyses .h0w The three
samples agree very closely in con
tent OF IoIash, pllosploric acid
and crude ash, but vary greatly in
content of nitrogen-ihe short Leaf
containing just twice IA much -
the long, while the medium leaf is
exactly midway between these ex-
tremts.
A comrari on OF these analyses
with those of dead straw gathered
from the ground as late in the sea
son As the fourth of June, shows
that the rain leached out not les
than one-haIf of the valuable con
~stiluents Of the dead straw.
If we assume that pine straw
contains 10 per cent. OF moislu e
when air-dry, then a ton of he straw
resulting from air.dryine the fresh
leaves would average, according
10 The above analyses, ~ pounds Of
ammonia, Ill pounds of potash,
and ST pounds Of prosphoric acid.
In other words, n ton of such
pine straw contains about the same
quantity If ierIiIizing ingredients
that would resnlt from mixing 300
pounds cotton seed meal and 100
pounds Of kainit {; or $50 pounds
nitrate Of soda, 100 pounds of kal-
nit and so pounds of superphOS-
phaIe. If, therefore, pine straw
could be gathered soon after it
falls from The trees and spread
upon the land at the rate OF two to
four tons per acre each year, the
result ought to be considerable, es.
