There is in the district of Dude species
of so called walking fish" with snakelike
heads which are often seen floating On the

with crossbows. Usually they sink when
they are killed, so that they have TO be
dived for afterward
Humming birds are slain during the
mating season, when the hues of the beau

dor. They aye skinned alive. because it is
only by skinning while the body still quiz

his wet nose this always dry, hard sub
stance, he is instantly refreshed with an
odor like geranium.

FORE CLEANS.

Sometimes when at twilight hour
Dark clouds DER the fair sky tower,
Through one rift of soft, deep light
Cleans the fairest star of night.
And we know that far and near
Hidden stars are shining clear.
Sometimes when the woodlands deep
Lie In winters silent sleep.
Through. the stiffness floats along
One bros sweetest, loftiest song;
Then again may memory hear
Myriad bird notes, sweet and clear.
So through sorrows shadowy night
Breaks CLEAN of hopeful light;
So sweet flower of faith doth bloom
Oft within doubts fields of gloom,
And through silences of pain
Echoes oft some heavenly strain.
