A Kansas farmer sold large
meteor which fell in his pasture for
81, 900 and with the money raised the
mortgage on his farm. Still the Kansas
farmer as rule is more likely to raise
his mortgage by voting off his taxes
than by waiting for $1,000 meteors.-
Chicago Herald.
AS to President Harrison, we have
it on the authority of Wharton Barker
and Henry G. Lea that he was fully in
formed of Quay's tainted record before
he handed over the naming of Cabinet
officer (Wanamaker) and the control Of
Pennsylvania patronage to the corrupt
and dishonest boss. The President
sinned against knowledge, and this fact,
so we'll attested, probably accounts fol
his desire to recover lost ground by I'M
loading Quay.-Pittsburgh Post
Successive attacks from Republic
ans in the House do not prevent the pas

they are significant of the fate in store

Congressional campaign. The tariff

two years as never before in the histor,

About Birds.
The movements Of birds on tho wing
furnish a familiar world of wonders
Some fly like arrows, some describe cir
cles in the sky, and others take wav-
ing, undulating course. There are birds
everywhere, and they are capable Of al
most any thing; what one bird can not
do, another can. There are birds of the
earth, birds OF the water and birds OF
the air. There are birds that scream at
sea among the tempests, and birds that
sing calm evenings in trees shading cot
/ tage DOORS There are birds that nest
upon the soil in open plains, and there
are birds that live in cayerns; birds OF
the wood, birds of the mountain, birds
that love towns and houses, birds liy-
ing alone in deserts.

The most valuable part of the alba
tross is it's plumage. The neck, breast
and belly are snowy white, shading deli
cately into gray and duslSy 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 clpaks and robes.
1t is very light, yet exceedingly warm,
while for appearance It's dove like
smoothness and purit, 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 cam
phor.
1t is 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 It's 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 its
secluded haunts and might even be in
danger of determination May the day
be far distant when the trader shall in
wade the home of the albatross or the
pot hunter disturb its ancient, solitary

Raising the Coffee Plant.

We were out in Sunter's coffee plants
ion few days since, and were sur
orised to see what he had done. In less
han year he has cleaned in the heavy
crest ten acres of land and set out over
zine thousand coffee plants. He has
lone all the work himself, and it shows
Up we'll. The first-planted coffee trees
how growth of from ten inches to two
feet, and look thrifty. The only blight
we could discover was where the coffee
had been planted under kukni trees,
and since they have been cut down the
coffee is recovering from the blight.
But the second year from now there is
but little doubt that many of the trees
planted will commence to bear. This
soil seems to be the homo of the
Office, and we hope that in q few years
here will DO not only ten acres, but ten
thousand. The labor Of cleaning Is
comparatively little. And it will be
necessary to let most of the ohia trees
stand for shade to the plants.-Hilo

TYRANNiCAL PARLORS.
"Hcst Rooms That Crush out the Joys of
Homo Life.

"Ecst Rooms" That Crush out the joys of
Homo Life.
Did you ever hear of tyrannical par
Tors? The costly carpets and curtains,
the expensive ornaments, give sub
real hospitality and good times. A
neighborhood social met from house to
house. One of the members was a bright
boy: his mother had one of these tyran-
meal parlors, given up to formality and
short calls. The bright boy said at one
of the meetings: Il would like to in
vite you to my house, butwe never have
good time at our stuck-up drawing
'oom.' The little fellow felt tho diff
ference between his own home surround
ings and that of some others of the social
Tub. At one house the parents made
the parlor so attractive that the boys
and girls of the family said that they
would rather be at homo that any
where else The carpet was not too
nice to dance on, or even play blind mans
buff. The chairs and tables were not
heavy and cumbersome, but were light
enough to be tucked away, leaving ID
lear space. The children were encour-
aged to get up charades and tableaux.
\ magic lantern exhibition added vari-
Aty, and now and then a card party.
But that was very wrong" said one
tern parent. No! father and mother
.ook a hand in the game and there was
not so much danger that the children
would seek questionable pleasures in
Improbable places. at Work
