nRILLiANr NORTHERN rIanrs.

One Of the most active aud brilliant
auroras appeared in the northern sky
Saturday, July 10th, exceeding III nc
tivity but notin brilliancy the noted
aurora of february 1871.
q. W. Van Metre, Of the weather
bureau, gives the following description:
At 1915, a pale yellow light was seen
lowering along theN northern horizon,
this increased in brilliancy until at To-
30 it began tochange into various deli
cate colors, this formed into an arch
with AN altitude Of 15o and an azimuth
Of about I5'. From the western end
ef the arch at 1885 one large brilliant
streamershotup toward the zenith and
mingled its silvery white color with the
milky way. This seemed to be sig
nal for nature to let loose her pent up
forces, and few seconds later the
whole northern sky was ablaze with
beautiful streamers of silvery white
light, and below the streamers like the
wavesof themighty ceanrolledi nmaj-
tesic splendor waves Of phosphorescent
like light. Below this still, and close
down to the horizon deep death-like
darkness reigned, as il some dreadful
storm was about to sweep over the
earth and carry death and destruction
in its path.
The night was an exceedingly beau
tiful one, with not cloud to mar the
face Of its loveliness. The temperature
stood 650 and out in the east arose the
brilliant planet Jupiter as il sitting on
| his throne quietly surveying the maies
tic wonder. At l:15 oil was quiet ant
the wonderful aurora Of July 10 has
:; faded away.

TO USE WOODEN TIES.

After fifteen years experimenting,
the Pennsylvania railroad officials
have decided to discontinue the use of
steel ties. The steel ties were found
to be light, and they cannot be kept
in line or made to take hold Of the
ballast firmly. For the future wood
en- ties will be used entirely on all
parts Of the road.

To secure the greatest profit, the aim
should be to shorten the time Of growth

is well known that duck viii con-
sume twice as much food as n chicken
and is, apparently. more expensive 10
keep, but when It Is considered that n
duck also grows twice as fast as n
chicken. the cost 10 produce pound of
meat on duck is no greater than for
other poultry. Profits are not made by
feeding fowls after they should no
longer be retained. When fattsning
fowls they should be weighed every
two or three days, and As soon as they
show no increase in weight they should
be marketed There are business
methods in poultry raising as in al
other pursuits, and the largest profits
are made when business methods are
practised It should be the rule %
keep nothing that does not pay, and
when n chick is Matched IL should be
pushed right on, SO as to get il into
market in the shortest possible time

PHARAOH WITH A PISTOL.
Remarkable Anachronisms of the Artists
of Abrssinia.

Remarkable Anachronisms of the Artists
of Abyssinia-
We found the walls of the churches
in Abyssinia covered with pictures of
Scriptural history and the walls of the
cathedral with the exploits of Johannes,
says a writer in the Century. His vic
tories over the Egyptians at Cora and
in the valley OF Gundet are fully repre-
scented I'm tones rs fiorid as those OF adj
vertising posters at home. The native
artist does not make up for crudeness
of color by the accuracy Of his drawing,
and IL these pictures have any merit
it is in their originality of treatment
For instance, in the cathedral of Gun
det. in a picture representing the
Israelites crossing the Red sea, Pharoah
carries in his right hand the latest
specimen in six-shooters, and in his left
hand he holds pair of opera glasses,
while the Egyptian host sport Reming-
ton rifles. All the movement of figures
is from right to left, and in all pictu es
heads are full-faced, with the exception
of Satan and the hated Egyptians, who
are painted in acute profile, TO show
their lock of honesty and good faith
and their inability to look you square
in the face. 1t is deplOrable fact, and
one which, ladies' win say at once, only
proves the ignorance and barbarity of
the Philippians, that the evil spirits in
these compositions are always presented
by the softer sex, generally showing
their naughtiness by exhibiting their
tongues. The church painter goes SO
far as to question the gallantry of St.
George, the Abyssian patron saint. by
depicting that warrior, instead of doing
battle with the dragon, as spearing the
graceful, undulating form of long
tongued woman.

birds answered him with harsh cries.
At length 1t was too dark to even try
and walk any farther. The little fellow,
frightened and weary, sank down at the
foot of a great tree that seemed to lean
over him with an air OF protection and
sympathy.
He would not cry. Uncle Phin said
that none Of the Dales ever cried after
they were grown up, and he was Dale,
almost grown up. Two or three big
tears rolled silently down his cheeks,
but then that was something that might
happen to most anybody at any time.
1t could not be counted as crying.
AS he sat there in the darkness, try
ing to be brave because he was Dale,
the sound Of a peculiar, long drawn, far
away cry, caused him involuntarily to
look around; though, of course, he did
not expect to see any thing through the
darkness. He did see something, though,
and 1t was light. 1t was not bright,
clear light; but dim glow, just visible
between the tree-trunks, and evidently
st quite distance from where he sat.
The boys spirits rose with a bound.
He dashed away the stealthy tear drops,
and sprang to his feet. Things wero
coming out all right after all; for light

A definite agreement IS reported to
have at last been concluded between
Baron Hirsch and the Russian govern
ment concerning the emigration of
Jews from Russia. The baron under
takes and the Russian government con-
sents to have three and n half millions
of Jews taken to other countries with
in twenty-five years, or 10000 year.
The government has reserved the right
of an absolute control over the opera
tions of the emigration scheme. The
number of emigrants shall increase
from year to year. In the present year
25, 900 shall emigrate, the number TO in
crease as the preparations by the baron
grow more efficacious. He will estab-
lish emigration bureaus all over the
Russian empire, TO be controlled by a
central bureau at St. Petersburg. The
emigrant Jews cease TO be Russian sub
jects and are not bound to become
soldiers in Russia or TO pay for exemp-
ton from that duty. A guarantee of
of 100, 900 rubles must be placed in the
hands of the Russian. government to be
used to pay for expenses that might be
caused by any of the emigrants going
back to Russia

LABELS FOR TREES.
The Cheapest and Simplest Have Proved
the Most Scrxieeahic.

For many years past, and In answer
to inquiries. we have recommended
labels made u sheet zine cut IN strips
half an inch or less in width and sew
eral inches long, on which the name
was written with common black lead
pencil One end was wound once
around the side branch Of the tree. he
other end with the name remaining ex-
posed and visible. The name thus
written win continue distinctly lcgible
for half n century; we nave specimens
nearly that age; and the coil around
the branch is now on some OF cur trees
where il remains after lapse of tNcn-
ty years without any injury 70 the bark
Of the tree
We have been surprised at the mis-
takes which intelligent cultivators have
made in rejecting this label a distin-

years proves its efficiency when right

Queer Sayings.
Let US take a turn with the animals
and insects of metaphor. The Scotch
have a saying: You have bee in your
bonnet" The meaning is that the head
had u new idea or fancy that is for the
time paramount. Your head is full of
bees" is an old-time phrase meaning
that dreamy theories have taken pos
session of the brain The connection
between bees and the soul was once
generally maintained; hence Mahomet
admits bees to Paradise. The moon
was called bee by the priestesses of
Ceres, and the word lunatic, or moon
struck, still means one with bees in
his head"
''The wolf at the door" is common
expression in all countries, and we say
of a ravenous eater, che has a wolf in
his stomach" 1t implies hunger, star
walton. 1t is said that there are people
who use the term literally TO frighten
their young children into habits of in
dustry and economy, so that the fright
full wolf of hunger may never appear at
their doors.
"a frog in the throat" is common
expression referring to q husky speaker.
II smell rat has long been a pop
ular saying when some mystery has

afraid of? 1t was not likely that any
body would hurt little boy like him.
So Uncle Phin left him, and, wading
ashore, disappeared down the forest
road.
For some time the boy amused him
self about the boat; but his resources
were few, and after an hour or SO he
grew lonely, and began to watch anx-
,iously for Uncle Phin's return. Ex-
posed To the fnll CLARA of tho afternoon
sun, the boat became as hot as an ovenj
and finally the boy decided to take his
book and wade ashore. There he would
find comfortable place in the cool
shade of the trees, from which he might
the sooner perceive anybody approach
ing along the road.
He found just such place as he had
'longed for; deliciously cool, shady
glade, surrounded by spreading oak trees,
and commanding limited view Of
the road. After sitting here for
some time, he discovered that there
were ripe berries on. the opposite side
of the glade. When he had gathered
and eaten these he saw more berries
beyond them, and still more at a greater
distance. There he found some lovely
flowers, and thought 1t would be fine
| idea to gather enough of them to dec
orate the cabin of the ark against Uncle
| lPhin's return. So he strolled carelessly
on, from berries to flowers, and from
one flower to another, until, all at once,
the deepening shadows reused him to a
knowledge of the fact that the sun was
setting and that he could no longer see
| either the road or the river.
1t was evidently high time to be get
! ting home, and the boy started back in
the direction he had just come. He was
| certain that it was the right direction,
and yet the trees and bushes kept get
| ting thicker and thicker, and he missed
the open glades through which he had
been strolling. This was clearly the
| wrong track, and, facing directly about,
! he now attempted to retrace his latest
| course.
1t was rapidly growing dark, strange
night sounds were beginning to be
heard in the forest, and a great dread
began to clutch at the boys heart. Was
| he really lost, as the Babes in the Wood
had been, and would he die there, and
be covered with leaves, so that even his
| body would not be found, and nobody
| would ever know what had become OF
| him?
He began to call aloud, but only the
forest echoes Knocked him, and the night
