A Eird Romance.

Here is touching story Of true) Of
coniugal affection among the birds,
taken from the Poster Lloyd: "a few
days ago a fancier found the dead body
of q male pigeon lying on the floor of
the pigeon house. The female bird,
'das Weibchen, was Borrowing at the
sight of the corpse. He threw the dead
bird into the yard, and the female i'm
mediately flew after it, and took her
stand at its side. He moved the body
several times, out of curiosity, and
each time he found the widow few to
the spot and kept close to her dead
mate. At last he shut up the female,
and buried the little corpse. Half an
hour afterwards he again set her free,
when she flew about restlessly from
spot to spot, as if in search of the
missing body. For the next four days
she left her food untouched. and on
the fifth day she died, a striking ex-
ample, as the writer says, of wife's
love among animals"

gold dust. To collect this sand expe-
ditions were sent into the deserts.
Choosing the hot time Of day, when the
ants were in their holes, the gold hunt
ers filed their bags with the sand as
quickly as possible and fled, the ants
pursuing them SO swiftly that it was
only by the use of various stratagemS
that they were able to escape. The In
dams of Arizona do actually at the pres
ent day make practice of gathering
rubies from the hills of ants which
these industrious insects have fetched
up from their subterranean workings.
1t must be understood, says the Phila-
delphia Press, that the maps issued by
the geological survey for the benefit of
gold seekers show merely the areas
where the precious metal is likely to
be found. They do not point out the
precise spots where an ore-bearing
ledge or a rich placer can be struck.
Emphasis is laid upon this point, be-
cause a great many persons, having
learned that such maps would be pub
lished, have already written to ask for
them, saying that they would like to
know just where to go and dig some
gold A usual form of request states
that the undersigned is poor man"
