THE TRAGOPAN.
ThIbetau Bird That ENcites Wonder
Whom Seen by Europeans.

When Seen by Europeans.
A somewhat remarkable bird is the
.ragopan, to be found on the borders
If China and Thibet, but more frc-
luently on the slopes of the uima aya
Mountains. In appearance it has n
great resemblance, in many respects,
TO the pheasant. The plumage is very
beautiful, being dotted with round,
white spots, on brown and reddish
ground. The male bird is dstin-
yuished by large wattles, which ex-
end from the checks down the whole
ength of the neck, while behind each
Eye rises soft, fleshy horn. Both the
lorn and the wattles may be dilated
Or contracted at pleasure. They are
If blush-purple color, mingled with
SCARLET. The color deepens when the
bird is excited by anger or pleasure.
The feathers of the crest, the chin
ind the back of the neck are black; the
upper part of the breast, the neck and
shoulders are light cinnamon, with q
dash of carmine and purple, variegated
by the white, eye-llke tips of the feath
ers, the wings and part Of the back are
rich amber, mottled with brown anG
also decorated with white spots. Little
is known of the habits and manner Of
the tragopans; but from their strong
legs and round wings it is thought that
they do not fly very much, but depend
more on their swiftness of foot than or
any power Of fight they may possess
In the breeding season the tragopan
is to be seen at his best. His condi-
tion and plumage are then in the high
est state of perfection, his beautiful
wings and tail are expanded, his horns
erected, his wattles inflated and glow
ing with bright colors
There seems no reason why these
birds should not flourish in other coun-
tries They live in a cold climate or
temperate region, and soon die il
taken into the hot plains of India
Their feod consists of grain and seed,
and their flesh is delicacy, having
much the same flavor as that OF tho
pheasant,

For several years the German navy
remained practically at standstill.
But upon the accession of the present
Emperor. who takes the greatest In

tered upon policy OF Reorganization

outside world can learn the organiza-
tion is excellent. To improve the
quality Of the fleet four first class and
nine third class ironclads, eight large
protected cruisers and various smaller
craft were projected. OF the first

Alice francis, tho 10-Year-Old Belle of
the Penobscots,
Here is the picture of a real Maine
Indian maiden, one of the Penobscot
tribe. This statement is required at
the commencement of this sketch, else

markably pretty Yankee girl

Satisfied Them Both.

A funny story is being told of two
French noblemen and a favorite
actress. The Frenchmen were suitors
of the lady, and both seemed to be
equally esteemed by her. 1t appears
that in France, as we'll as in many
other countries, lock of hair is con-
sidered signal pledge of tender pas
sion. Mile. Bertha glories in the pos
session of auburn ringlets, and would
not part with one of them for less than
duchy.
Her admirers, however, happened to
have hair of the same golden hue as
that of their common love, Each
begged a tress of her hair in exchange
for a lock OF his own, to which the
charming creature readily assented,
and, without touching single hair of
her head, cunningly managed to effect
an exchange of parcels by which each
gentleman received curl of his rivals
capillaries. The Count now wears the
Baron's hair next to his heart, and the
Baron sleeps with the Counts lock
under his pillow.

ALICE FRANCIS. of her cousins, is
the haudsomest girl in the tribe.
Alice Francis doesn't look at all as
though Indian blood ran in her veins,
and even among her Caucasian sisters
she would pass muster. Her complex
ion is modulated into becoming olive,
her eyes are dark and expressive, and
her movements are graceful and un-
affected. John Francis is a wealthy
man, so far as Indians go, and he has
given his daughter many advantages
Her dresses are always rich and stylish,
her education has been looked after
carefully, she has visited Washington,
Baltimore and other large cities, and
she is surprising example of what
the Maine Indian maiden of
the Nineteenth Century can become.
The home of John Francis on Ola
mon Island is remotely situated, but it
is none the less cosy. The house is,
to tell the truth, in all apartments
save the parlor, somewhat different
from what trim Yankee housewife
might desire. However, the parlor is
the bower of the daughter of the
house. There's polish on the parlor.
About this time of year it forms a
particularly bright attraction in the
eyes of the young braves of the neigh
borhood, who, our Indian maiden
naively admits, occasionally drop
around o evenings But" says she
with decision II never allow them to
stay later than 10 O. o'clock."
In one corner of the parlor is a
piano, and beside it stands a massive
piano lamp. Huge fur rugs cover the
floor, and these were secured by the
prowess of Hunter Francis. Indeed,
the latter rseems to have been an im-
portant factor in securing adornment
for the room, and great array of
trophies, both feather and fur, hang
about the walls.
Miss Francis is 10 years of age. She
is as yet fancy free, but when the
right young man comes along there
will be a real old-fashioned Indian
wedding on Olamon Island, with a
feast, dance, games, and all the
merrymaling that can be crowded
into four days; for that is the way in
which the Polesuseps, Socktlexis.
Francis, tie the nuptial knot.

Patti-Nicolini hospitality every year.
Patti is as charming us the chate-
laine of her castle, and full of sollci-
tude for the comfort of her guests.
But she is not overzealous. In the
morning, for instance, il one guest, or
half OF the party, sends down word to
her that he is indisposed and will not
be visible for two hours or twenty four,
Patti looks on it as matter of course.
That is her idea of hospitality. The
only desire she seems TO have is that
every one under her roof shall take his
comfort in the most pleasing way pos
sible. II they 90 not appear before
