There was noticed one summer, in
Concord, n. H., an odd appearance
in the topmost branches of tree he
lieved to be 1875 years old, and the
observers could hardly believe their
eyes. But when an adventurous ma
rine climbed up the old giant he found
that the sight had not been deceived.

A Rare New zealand Rlrd.

DIR. Fristedt has brought most inter
esting and valuable collection of birds.
etc, from Australia, where he had MANY
an adventurous outing, and from where
he proceeded to New Zealand. There he
succeeded in obtaining a specimen of the
quaint and almost extinct kibi bird.
This bird is somewhat like an ostrich.
but only the size of a crow. 1t has no
wings at all, and is covered with fur
like short striped feathers. Another pc
culiarity about the ltibi is the fact that
its egg is larger than one-third of its
body.
He also succeeded in bringing home
some Maori skulls, which are difficult to
obtain on account of the manner in
which the natives bury their dead.
When the bodies have been SO long in
the ground that all the flesh has fallen
from the skeleton they unearth them
and carry them into the interior of the
forests, where they are deposited in nat
ural caves, which are very difficult to
find. The attempt to obtain these skulls
is attended with the greatest danger, as
any one discovered with one is certain of
being instantly killed -Galignani's Mes

A new apparatus for measuring the
mean level of the sea has lately been in
stalled at Marseilles. 1t is based on the
principle that when a liquid wave tray
erses a capillary tube or porous parti-
ton, its amplitude diminishes and it is
retarded in its phases without the mean
level of the wave changing. 1t consists
OF glass tube, the lower end of which
communicates by flexible pipe with a
plunger which is lowered beneath the
lowest water level. There are two cells
In the plunger, the lower being filed
with sand and open to the sea, the result
being that the column of water in the
tube rises and falls very little with the
tides, and the mean sea level can be read
from graduated scale.-New York

A Daring Arrnn,0n.

A quick witted and daring western
lawyer once saved a guilty client from
sure conviction ON charge of poisoning.
1t was proved that the poisoning had
been done by means of certain cakes. A
portion of which was produced in court.
When the counsel for the prisoner had
finished his speech, he said: "And these,
gentlemen of the jury, are some of the
alleged poisoned cakes. We declare to
you, gentlemen of the jury, that they
are not poisoned cakes. They are as
harmless cakes as ever were made, and
In order, gentlemen of the jury, to show
you that these cakes are not poisoned, |
will eat one of them right here in your
presence"
And he did eat one. He took good
care, however, to leave the room at the
earliest opportunity, and to make bee
line for an adjoining room, where he
had an eInetic in readiness and an anti
dote. But the jury never heard about
the emetic or the antidote until the law.

a tobacco dealer says: There has been
a great deal said about the harnfulness
OF cigarettes, and certainly they are in
curious to young boys or to men if
smoked IN excess; but most of those who
attack the cigarette habit have very lit
tie idea of what they are talking about
1t should be remembered that the great
est smokers in the world-the Spaniards,
the Cubans, Spanish Americans and the
Russlans-use cigarettes far more freely
than cigars, and none of these nations
can be called unhealthy. People talk
about the righteousness of the paper, but
any physician will tell you that it has no
effect worth mentioning.
If you take piece of rice paper and
light it scarcely any residuum will re-
main, and man might smoke that pa
per indefinitely without experiencing the
smallest bad result. What makes cigar
cite smoking injurious is the fact that
the smoke Is not retained in the mouth
and throat, but is taken into the lungs.
1t is because the cigar smoker does not
understand this that he denounces Gig
arctic smoking as insipid. So it is if the
cigarette is smoked like cigar. but
when the smoke is swallowed the effect
Is far more delicate than can be obtained
from any cigar, and you will find that a
confirmed cigarette smoker seldom en-
joys either cigar or pipe.-St. Louis

Our Sum a Star.

Most young folks now know that the
difference between night and day on this
planet of ours arises simply from the
fact, that among the innumerable multi
tude of stars there is one infinitely nearer
to us than all the rest; being so much
nearer to us that when we see it we have
day. When by the earth's i1sovement
on its axis the sun has set in the west
we have night; at which time we depend
for light upon the more distant stars
unless, indeed, the moon is shining.
In the main, it is true that the enor-
nous difference in the intensity of the
light that we receive from the sun in the
one case, and from all the stars seen at
night In the other, depends upon the fact
that the sun is the star nearest to us, and
the other stars are suns infinitely re-
moved.-J. Norman Lockyer in Youths
Companion.

Almost any liveryman is, in his way,
a horse doctor. He practices on his own
stock, and will prescribe simple remedies
for sick horse that is brought to him,
but i'll any case he deems serious will al,
ways advise calling in a regular veteri-
nary surgeon rather than to undertake
the treatment himself. All sorts of sur
gical operations are undertaken for the
relief of horses, and there are one or two
men in the city who are specially skilled
in the treatment of diseased teeth.
Horses have the toothache just like men
do and from the same causes, and pull
ing tooth is now a common thing in
veterinary surgery. OF course the horse
kicks, for his teeth have long and strong
roots, but the operation frequently saves
the life of valuable animal. Interview

ed with southern aspect-as invariably
faced the east in Aquitalne, while to the
rear well open to the west was a long
tiled veranda, where in winter after
moons the hemp picking, the wool card
ing, ETC., were done.
Within the vast kitchen glowed in the
light of the fire-almost as unextinguisb-
able as the vestal virgins-peat, coal and
wood were each abundantly employed,
and for trifiing rent, generally paid in
kind, the lord of the manor would per
init the farmers on his land to cut their
turfs from his bog or their boughs from
his forest. Fuel was not only actually
but relatively cheaper in the middle
ages than today, for the boys were not
drained IN those days, the forest covered
great expanses, and the cost of carriage
made it almost impossible to transport
their produce. In almost every shire of
France and England the supply of fuel
was in excess of the demand.
This hospitable fire fared up a chin

huge brick oven, the iron firedogs, the
bellows, shovel, gridiron, ladies. cal

Cheap Fuel.

Among the latest attempted solutions
of the cheap fuel problem is the method
of German inventor, who proposes to
manufacture gas by dropping stream
of crude petroleum through a blast of
cold air from force pump The gas
thus obtained will be confined in a regu-
lar cylinder open at one end, where it
will be lighted. This produces an in
tensely hot flame of several feet in
length. By means of this flame the in
ventor proposes to heat boilers, and he
maintains that the heating of large
blocks can thus be reduced very consid-
erably.-New York Telegram.
