The Fisherman Ducks Sad Fate.

The fisherman duck, in addition to
his liking for fish, is very fond of
oysters, and hereby hangs tale, or
rather bill. When the oyster is
feeding at high hide in that state of
calm felicity that characterizes the in
nocent and just when at dinner, with
its mouth wide open, drinking in hap
piness like river, without thought
of savage foe, it is the custom of the
willy fisherman duck to dive swiftly
down upon it and jab it to its tender
heart before the astonished bivalve
has time to know "where it is at, !"
which is in the ducks mouth before
it can shut its own. 1t is trick
which is generally successful, but
sometimes it fails, as in the case of the
duck whose obituary we are now writ
ing. This duck, unfortunately for
himself, dived and found an oyster.
1t was only little one, but it had its
mouth wide open and looked so harm
less and innocent that the Senatorial
duck viewed it with contempt. With
great disdain he approached it, and
inserting his bill, was just upon the
point of telling the small bivalve not
to be in hurry to be eaten when
the little oyster closed its mouth with
the peculiar firmness that character
ICES meek people when you get
them started The duck rose to the
surface and vainly tried to get rid of
his dinner, but the little oyster was
comfortable and held on. Though Il
small oyster, it wa' too heavy for the
ducks head. Before long the head
went under water, and the Senatorial
duck was drowned in his own ele-
ment and at his own game. Tho
oyster still lives and was exhibited
Thursday in the Sun Office, serene and
happy, holding firmly to the fisher
man duck, which was very dead in
deed. .-Baltimor Sun.

The Changeable Flower of China.

The botanical oddity of the Flowery
Kingdom is the towering tree, known
to the scientists as the Hibiscus mu-
tabilis. Its beautiful flowers, gener-
ally double, are pure snow in the
morning, bright pink at noon and of
a deep, blood red at sunset, fading
into sky-blue by bedtime. The
leaves of this particular tree somewhat
resemble those of the grapevine, being
and of variable lengths. The tree is
not only native of China and Japan,
but is found in great profusion in In
dia, Corea and Siam. The "Cham-
eleou flower" (so called on account of
it's changeable colors, because not yet
scientifically identified and named),
recently discovered in the Isthmus of
Tehauntepec, is only an American
variety of HibNeus mutabilis. In case
of the former, the colors do not pass
abruptly from one shade to another, but
change gradually from the soft white
of the morning to the pink and red Of
noon and evening, and thence to the
blue of night
The Tehauntepec tree is larger than
its Chinese relative of similar habits,
and the flowers have the popularity of
only giving forth perfume when they
are rcd.
Several other species OF Chinese
shrubs and trees bear flowers which
change color daily, chief of which is
the Oriental hylrangea, which changes
from bright green % u deep pink. -

Wisdom Tooth OF a Mammoth.

A fossil curiosity in the shape Of
mammoth's tooth was found few
days ago in West Seattle by Joseph S.
Richards. The tooth was found at the
foot of the bluff, not fur from the
beach, and was covered with clay at
the time, indicating that it had been
unearthed by the breaking away of the
hill. The crown of the tooth, which
was of an oval shape, measured seven
and half inches in its largest diane
ter, three and half inches in its
smallest diameter and eighteen inches
in circumference. The posterior edge
of the tooth was four inches in length,
the anterior edge six inches, the largest
circumference twenty-five inches and
the weight nine aud half pounds. 1t
is supposed to be the lower baek tooth
from the left side of the jaw. The
ridges have turned t. ehalee1ony and
extend entirely through the tooth,
while the material between has the APP
pearance of iron. Seattle WASH Post

Losses i'm Great Battles.

AT Mollwitz the Prussians lost eight
cen per cent, the Austrians twenty
eight per cent. At Kolin, Frederick's
force suffered to the extent of thirty
seven per cent, while his victory cost
his enemies only fourteen per cent.
At Zorndorf, the bloodiest battle of
which we have any record that we may
rely upon, the proportion of loss to
the total forces engaged rose to the
enormous total of from one-half to
one-third. Kunersdorf was almost as
destructive to human life, and Freder-
ick lost thirty-five per cent, against
twentysix per cent. of the allies.
With the advent of Napoleon and
the loosened formation of the Revolu-
tionary armies, losses were at first di-
minished; but at Aspern the Austrians
left nearly twenty eight per cent. OF
their men on the battlefield, and the
French, although the bulletins denied
it, are said to have been weaker by
one-half after the battle. Borodino,
too, deprived the Russians of thirty
six per cent. and the French of twenty
five per cent. During the later Ma
poleonic wars we find the losses some
what lower, although after Ligny the
Prussians were weaker by as many as
twenty per cent, and the victory of
Waterloo cost US rather more than
that proportion.
When, however, we turn to the cam
paigns which succeeded the lull of ex-
haustion following the downfall of the
first empire, we are confronted with
no such bloody records, in spite of the
invention of percussion caps, rifles and
even rifed cannon. The allies of the
Alma only lost some six per cent, and
the Russians fourteen per cent. Inker-
mann, however, was as bloody as
Waterloo, but it was struggle in
which tactics played very small
part.
The losses at Magenta and Solferino
were comparatively slight. Although
the consequences of Koniggratz were
immense, they were cheaply purchased
by the victors; while in 1870, not
withstanding that both sides were
armed with breech-loaders, the losses
never approached the huge totals OF
some of the battles of the early cen
tury or of those of the Seven Years
War. At Worth, it is true, one-sixth
of the total forces engaged were either
the proportion was only one-eleventh,
and at Weissenburg one-twelfth. -

The art of flying seems to the Inde-
pendent to be almost in sight, though
it may be some time yet before we a9-
tually reach it. 1t is already quite
clear that the amount of power re-
quired to maintain n body of consid-
erable weight in the air and to drive
it forward with great velocity is moth
ing exorbitant; the difficulties seem
to lie rather in the regulation and
direction of the machinery. A recent
investigation of Professor Langley up
on what he calls ''the internal work OF
the wind" throws food of light upon
some of the most puzzling problems
of aerial navigation. The soaring"
of birds has long been n mystery; the
way in which, for hours, ometimes,
they circle round over the same spot
without an apparent motion OF the
wing. Langley find the explanation
in the fact (which he has demonstrated
experimentallyl that the motion of the
wing is technically speaking an ''un-
steady" motion that is, neighboring
portions OF air move with very differ
eat directions aud yelociiies So that

A benevolent agency organized in
New York last winter that excited
general interest was the loan society
originating with Rev. DR.. Greer, of
st. Bartholomew's Church. Promi-
nent citizens backed it up and made it
q success. In all Ill loans have been
made. In no case was there default
in payment. This sort of philan-
trophy has now statutory recognition
in New York State. Governor Flower
has signed a bill incorporating the
Provident Loan Society, capitalized at
$3.50, 900, and to charge a rate of in
terest not to exceed twelve per cent
Pawnbrokers charge thirty-six for

SUCCESS AND FAILURE.

We hear of the grand Successes
OF the obstacles overcome,
We hear the songs of triumph
And praise for great deeds done.
But we seldom hear of the failures
OF the efforts that came to naught,
Or the cry of disappointment
From hearts with misery fraught.
We loudly hail the victor
In the struggle for gold or fame,
But give little heed to the thousands
Who labor and struggle In vain.
Honor to him who wins the race
We all are glad to pay,
But there's little respect or pity
For the many who fall by the way.

pleased them all, for it introduced n
variety of pleasing amusements, and
when it was over refreshments were
served, and everybody enjoyed tn e
oCcasion-that is, everybody but Neely
herself, whose birthday was being
celebrated. Her disappointment was
caused by the absence of her lover,
who had gone out of town on business,
and could not possibly return before
late hour, when he had promised to
look in on his way from the depot.
Neeley was the girl about whom this
story was told: She had attended n
party after her engagement to Bruce
Lowell and he, not being invited, was
naturally absent. When she went
home she threw herself pouting into a
chair and looked bored and dis
couraged.
"Who was there?" asked her mother
who, mother-like, was sitting up for
her.
"Nobodyp answered Neely, in a
pathetic voice
1t was only week later when Neely
attended another party, this time
under the escort of her lover.
That night when she went home her
face was radiant. Mrs. Hollingwood
asked her usual question while Neely
was waltzing about the room.
"Who was there?"
every body" answered the happy
girl, giving her mother u goodnight
kiss
So on this birthnight celebration q
black cloud settled on Neely's horizon
which foretold storm.
At IL, just as the company was de
parting, Bruce Lowell ARRIVED and il
time to see his former rival, Archie
Dean, sitting it out with Neely. Then
Neely's black cloud turned dark and
dizzy green.
Archie saw the aspect of things and
it did him good. He fingered after
the Others had gone, until Nicely had
frozen him out, and then he rose tC
go. As he did so he dropped smal
folded paper on the table II looked
