The Ravens of Alaska.

The Alaska raven is a fine-looking
bird, as large as turkey, and upon
closer acquaintance a real handsome
fellow. His coat is indeed black, but
of black glossier and more rich than
silk and softer than velvet, while in a
semi shade the features are tinged
with that peculiar color so often seen
on well preserved blue-black bronze.
1t is very funny to see these birds
holding, as it were, conclave. Ten
or dozen alight on the ground and
walk to the meeting place with stately,
erect step, their every movement cool
and assured. Then an old bird steps
gravely into the middle, and the meet.
ing begins with q series of cultural and
harsh croaks, which gradually swell in
volume until the entire lot of birds have
joined in the debate. Along comes q
dog, and for him they scatter, resumine
their positions when he passes, until
the meeting again terminates, and
they fly off to the beach and hills
These birds are seldom killed, unless it
be by some sailor in pure wantonness
If you examine the bills of these
ravens, the peculiar construction is re-
markable. They are combination OF
chisel, scissors, dagger and gimlet
The bill forms an important factor in
on the beach for clans, bore the hare
shell by repeated chipping, and AGAR
in pure mischief he will tear and breal
anything that his bright unerring eye
lights upon.-Sdn Francisco Chronicle

Cannibalism in Hayti.

The Haytians term the sacrifice of a
human victim the offering of the
goat without horns," a euphemism for
which we can find many parallels.
Louisiana il, fortunately, free from this
horrible taint, but, from the numerous
instances given by St. John, there can
be no doubt that the immolation of
young people, generally girls, is not I'M.
common in Hayti. AT page 1913 he tells
US of scene witnessed by French
priest in the district of Arcahaye in
1869. This man had persuaded some
of his parishioners to disguise him as a
negro, and to take him to witness the
voudoo ceremonies. All went on in the
manner that has already been described
till after the sacrifice of white goat
and fowl, when young man came and
knelt before the queen and said:
Maman, have favor to ask. Give
us, to complete the sacrifice, the goat
without horns" The queen gave a
sign of assent, the crowd in the shed
separated, and there was child sitting
with its feet bound. In an instant a
rope, already passed through block,
was frightened, the child's feet flew up
toward the roof, and the king APP
preached it with a knife. The loud
shrek given by the victim aroused the
Frenchman to the truth of what was
really going on. He shouted, "Oh
spare the child" and would have
rushed forward, but he was seized and
hurried from the spot by his friends
There was short pursuit, but he es-
capped, and, on reaching the town, strovt
to induce the police to hasten to the
place. They would, however, do moth
ing till the morning, when they accom-
panied him to the scene of sacrifice
and found the remains of the feast anC
the boiled skull of the child.-MojO

Don't Hurry.

The famous answer to the man who
said he had too little time to do GER
tain thing, that he had all the time
there was, has apparently never been
laid to heart by many active and ener-
getic people. These restless and rush
ing persons seem to be under the i'm
preston that they have only small
bit of time, and that all they are to do
in life must be done at once if it is at
all. Instead of drawing on time as if
it were large deposit, subject to con-
slant demands as needed, these people
attempt to draw out the whole amount
at once. They impress one as having
no reserve of leisure or opportunity.
They are under the harrow of the pres
ent moment, and they are driven when
hey ought to guide and control. There
time enough in life for all rational
eople to do what they ought to do;
ime enough without Impotence OF
estlessness, or the hurry which de.
,troys the sense of repose and saps the
~eserve force. To take life breath,
lessly is to miss the deepest and rich
est part of it! To be always on the
run is to lose all those sweet delights
and resources which come through an
open mind and quiet observation
The hurried man or woman never has
lime for anything; not even for the
hing in hand. For the work done in
hurry, and done to the exclusion OF
many other things, always bears the
mark of incompleteness and haste; it il

The Management Of Children.

If you would see woman or child
graceful, beautiful and charming, you
must find one that is loved. The child
that breads to be corrected or criticised
for every word or movement never has
manner of elegance or an expression
of charm. Fill your child's soul with
an ideal of good manners, of benevo-
lence and beauty; teach it abstractly to
dislike vulgarity, selfishness, rudeness,
and to feel that you love and admire it,
and expect of it charming manners,
and the work is accomplished. 1t is
impossible for a slave to have any style.
If you would have your child dignified,
you must treat it with dignity. 1t is
wrong to correct a child in public. Any
proud child feels degraded by it. 1t
should be case of dire necessity when
you find fault with child before
strangers, and to destroy child's pride
is to do him an irreparable injury.
Take advantage of some intimate hour
when parent and child are alone
together and then let the parent ten
derly explain how the child has be-
haved ill the day before or that morn
ing, and why the child's conduct was
wrong, and how it should have be.
haved, and show the child that the pa
rent respects it and loves it, believes in
its capacity to do all good things. This
will have ten times the effect of punish
ment, when the child is in state of ex-
element and the parent usually
angry. Get in the habit of explaining
the reason of things to your child. Let
there be as little confusion in Its mind
as possible. Above all, keep the fact
of your love uppermost in the child's
mind, and let it understand that you
have no wish to domineer over it, only
that, being older and wiser, and loving
the child 80 much, you would save it
from its inexperience, that this is your
duty, that you are teaching it to be its
own master. If your child is cross,
do not punish him, but distract his
mind from the subject that annoys him.
If he continues to be cross, suspect his
stomach, and assure yourself that this
is in perfect order; a troubled diges-
ton is the root of bad temper.-Se-
lected.

Three Parrot Stories.

There is much difference in opinion
as to whether a parrot merely initiates
or whether it be possessed of reason.
Sure the parrot that keeps jabbering
"pretty Polly" does not seem endowed
with much brain, but what must be
said when we hear such parrot stories
as the following, of which we are will
ing to vouch for the truth:
A lady owned handsome parrot,
and leaving New Orleans one summer
she gave her pet to friends care.
Polly soon became at home in its new
quarters; would bow its head to its
new mistress, and say in softest tones:
I" That's it, rub Polly's head so, so,
darling, rub Poly's head" That was
initiative What is this? One day its
mistress was eating plums. Polly was
near; looking up the lady laughed and
said: " All, Polly, | have plums and
am not going TO give you any" |
don't care" sal Polly. 81 don't want
any, any howl"
A parrot belonging to dear friend
of the writer was very much annoyed
by the pigeons, who would enter his
cage every morning, as soon as he left
it and devour the remnant of his break
fast. A bright thought, so it seems,
came to Polly, One day as he left his
cage for his morning walk he turned
and shut the door of his cage and then
gave defiant look at the maraudel
pigeons. This he always did afterward
and so saved his breakfast.
Still another parrot story, also true
Once upon a time parrot lived in q
family which was very religious. The
bird was accustomed to hearing daily
prayers and verses of Scripture. Ont
day, after a severe illness, in spite OF
care and attention, the parrot died
Its last words were: 1.-THE Lord bt
with you!"-Ne,o Orleans Picdyune.

Not Death.

II Is not death to die,
To leave this weary road,
And midst the brotherhood on high,
To be at home with God.
II Is not death to close
The eyes long dimmed by tears,
And wake in glorious repose
To spend eternal years,
1t is not death to bear
The wrench that sets us free
From dungeon chain, to breathe the air
OIL boundless liberty.
1t is not death to fling
Aside this sinful dust,
And rise on strong exulting wing
To live among the just.
Jesus, thou Prince of Life,
Thy chosen can not die;
Like thee, they conquer In the strife
To reign with thee on high.
