PULLED DOWN A FRENCH FLAG.
A Wealthy Citizen of the Island Of
Riatea Ordered Shot.

The San Francisco Chronicle
prints story received by private
letter on the brig Gallilee of re-
volt on the island of Riatea, one of
the Society group in the South
Seas. On Dec. Oath last the rebels
pulled down a French flag on the
newly erected Government build
ing.
The trouble grew out of diff
Guilty between gthe supporters of
the French Colonial Government
and native traders, who are daily
growing more jealous of the
Frenchmen and their growing COM
mercial influence. Immediately
after the occurrence the French
transport DURANGO was dispatched
to the island from Papeete, and the
commander ordered that if the
man who hauled down the flag
was not surrendered the town would
be blown off its coral foundation
The rebel, who happened to be a
wealthy citizen, was surrendered
and taken on board the vessel,
which sailed at once for the penal
settlement of New Caledonia. 1t
had been ordered from Papeete
that he be shot five days after his
arrival at New Caledonia, and
there is every reason to believe the
order was carried out.
A similar uprising took place
about two years ago, when the
French first seized the island. The
natives were then silenced, how
ever, by a war vessel dispatched
from Papeete. This latest disturb
ance occurred when the French
flag was hoisted on the new town
ball at Riatea. When the rebel
faction discovered the tricolor, they
cast lots to see who should break
into the building and pull down
the flag. 1t fell to the unfortunate
citizen who was subsequently de-
livered up by the malcontents to be
shot.

BIRD IORE..


HUMMING birds have been known TO
show anger if the flower they approach
contains no honey. Audubon says he
has seen them more than once tear
such a flower from the stem, at the
same time chattering loudly, as though
in wrath.
THERE is a common belief in India
that the Indian oriole lights his hang
ing nest with fireflies. 1t is said that
the bird catches the insects and fastens
them head first in a bit of moist clay.
Naturalists have found the Insects
thus imprisoned.
THE carrier pigeon was in use by the
state department of the Ottoman en-
pire as early as the fourteenth cen
fury Lithgrow says that a dispatch
has been carried from Bagdad 20 Aiep-
pc. thirty days journey on horses, in
forty-eight hours.
THE peacock's spreading train is not
the birds tail, but a coronal of feathers
above the tail The true tail consists
of eighteen feathers beneath the
corona. The latter is provided with a
curious system of muscles 10y which it
can be erected at will
The snipe has n nerve reaching down
to the tip of its bill. It IS the only bird
thus provided. and this contrivancc
illustrates the benefeenee of nature in
enabling the snipe to detect the pres
euce of its food in mud and water
where the creatures eye is Of no use.

There is nothing in the world which
hens enjoy better in the winter time
than silage. They will greedily jump
into the cow stalls and rob the cows OF
their share if possible. Green silage
is delicious food for them in the win
ter time and it ought to be just as
profitable 20 raise aa3 store this for the
hens as for cattle. Good, sweet green
cornstalks carefully preserved in the
silo makes a tempting food ration that
stimulates the hens to better health
and productive work. The profession
al poultry man who raises hens by the

When the chimes of the Old North
church, on Salem street, ring out
or "Massa's in the Cold, Cold Ground"
do you know what that means?
Well and good, but when the holt
( day is a close, warm, stutfy one like
| last Fourth of July, the Ginning Of the
| bells means something more.
1t means that Charley Jewell is per-
| spring to beat the band, that he has
| his coat, hat and vest off, and is all
out of breath
Ginning is hard work. Charley lew
ell has been Ginning for ten years; hi,
father has chimed for thirty-five, and
his grandfather has record of fifty.
They're family of chimers.
l saw Charley Jewell chime the Old
North bells at sunset on the Fourth
and up in that little belfry | wondered
if any body who heard the bells kne "
or cared how much energy it cost 80
give forth that melody.
There are eight bells in the oil
church and each of them has ropl
attached to it. The ropes come down
through two stories, and in the
chimer's room are fastened to q frame.
When the bells are tuned the frame
shows eight tight ropes, each The size

same distance apart. That is the
chimer's key board.
He pulls the ropes as an archer
would pull a big bow. but the chimer
has to hustle over the ropes just as a
harpist does. That is where the work
comes in. 1t takes force to make the
bells sound and one rope has to he

dropped.
On a warm day that isn't pleasant.
But Ginning is no: pealing, and the
bells on tile Old North are also pealed.
1t takes six or eight men t. peal the
bells, and that. too. is warm work.
When they are chimed the bells are
stationary; when pealed they swing
around and the tongues strike wi lie
the mouths are up.
Pealing Is English. you know, and
the majority of the Old North's peal

in a circle; each man has a rope, and

AROuT ESSEX SWINE.
Some 5zerits and Defects of Ono of the
Oldest Breeds

Some Ierits and Defects of Ono of the
Oldest Breeds.
This is one of the oldest English
breeds of swine. Its merits have OBJ
tanned for il a well-deserved popular
Fly in this country. as well as in its
native land. The modern Essex breed
is the result of cross of the original
stock on the Neapolitan. l : belongs
TO one of tie so-called small breeds.
Essex swine are black, or, rather.
ash-black in color; they have a short
dished face, broad between the eyes;
erect, thin ears, full jowls, short,
thick neck. body of medium length,
broad, deep and straight, with heavy
hams, bones fine. but sufficiently
strong to support the body; hair fire
and soft. but thin; no bristles; legs
short and fine, but straight and set
wide apart; hoofs erect
When matured, the improved Essex
viii weigh from three to four hundred
pounds. They mature early, are pro-
life ana possess great vigor of consti-
tuition. They fatten easily, range
well and, not being troubled with
mango or sun-scald are a peculiarly
valuable breed for the south. The
Essex are excellent as a cross, being
sure to give quality and early maturity
to any breed. When crossed upon
common or coarser swine they will i'm
prove them almost beyond recognition.
The objection urged against them is
their tendency TO fatten rapidly, which
causes the carcasses to lack the de-
sired proportion of lean meat. This

WINTER BEE-HOUSE.
How to Fsuild One That Is Cheap, War
and Very Comfortable.

How to Esuild One That Is Cheap, Warm
and Very Comfortable.
Prominent bee men recommend the
construction of winter quarters for
bees of stray of any requisite size,
building two walls, that is, an outer
and an inner wall of straw; the straw
is confined by stakes, and the space
between the two walls to be filed
with sawdust, or something of that
nature; n cheap roof and one door.
Such place might be made cheap and
very warm and comfortable. 1t need
not be very large. 1t can be modelled
TO suit Yourself. As more expensive
affair. after considerable progress has
been made, Mr. Quimby recommends
a room built as follows: The room for
this purpose is Sxl6 feet, and seven
feet high, without any windows; a
good coat of plaster is put on the in
side; a space of four inches betwe en-
the siding and lath is to be filed with
sawdust. Under the bottom construct
a passage for the admission of air, an
other overhead for its exit, 20 be closed
and opened at pleasure in moderate
weather. to give them fresh air, but
closed when cold, and SO arranged as
to exclude all light. A partition also
extends across, SO that when putting
in or taking out, one need to disturb
only one-half at once. He says he has
wintered bees in this manner for years.
Such room will accommodate about
100 stocks of bees. The room with
same proportions as to length and
breadth can be made of any size
