city Kilkenny, one Of Che Irish parlia-

are built with ths same material Half a
mile oatside the town are the famous
black marble quarries, which turn out the
choicest marble in the British isles. From
time immemorial the civic authorities
have been accustomed to buy this stone,
undressed, to pave and build with. The

The most remarkable instance Of astheti-
eism among birds Is that exhibited by tho
Australian bower birds, who build long
galleries IN which to play, adjoining them
with shells, feathers, leaves, bones Or any
colored or glittering object which comes
in their way. Captain Stokes described
one Of these bower birds as taking shell
alternately from each sida Of the bower
and carrying it through in its beak
