The Greenland Dove.

A few weeks ago a very odd looking
bird was seen on the ocean beach at Ston-
ington, Connecticut. 1t is pity that it
could not have caught instead Of being
shot as it was, for a local ornithologist
discovered it to be little aux, that had
strayed away from its home within the
Arctic circle.
The man who shot it had it mounted
and set it up in his home. 1t is as big as
a full blown SNOWFALL" blossom, plump
as pulIet; with little short wings
About its head, neck, and shoulders is a
cape Of black, glossy feathers, while its
breast is as white as snow. Its dark wings
are tipped with white patches and its bill
is as black as coal. 1t is webfooted, and
from the tip of its bill to the end Of its
tail feathers it is eight inches long.
Mariners who sail in Arctic waters call
the little aux the Greenland dove. 1t
especially loves the snowy region invest
ed by the Arctic circle, and ornithologisIs
say that if the North pole should ever be
discovered hocks Of these little birds will
be found IN the neighborhood.
In spite Of its short wings, the little
aux travels through the air like rifle
shot; it dives expertly, and can swim
under water. 1t is perfectly at home,
whether afoat or ashore, and, when weary
of seafaring, tucks its head under its wings
and goes to sleep, "rocked in the cradle
of the deep" 1t subsists on fish and
small crabs, and lays one egg Of pale
greenish blue, like the northern sea.

Probably there is no one old enough to
be interested in the question "What women
make the best wives ?" who has not some
personal ideas on the subject; but whatever
our ideas on any topic may be, it is always
interesting to know the opinions of other
people-especially if they are "brainy"-on
the same matter. In Demorests Family
Magazine for June the vital question about
good wives is discussed by Susan B. An
thony, Clara Louise Kellogg, Mrs. Balling-
ton Booth, Mrs. A. NJ Palmer. Ella Wheel
er Wilcox, Ellen Battelle Dietrich, and
others, all qualified by experience of judi
cious observation to give opinions worthy Of
careful attention, and every opinion given
bears the individuality of the author and is
we'll worth reading. Equally interesting is
an article on Chow News is Gathered ;" af-
ter reading it one begins to appreciate what
a marvel the modern newspaper really is,
and to estimate at their true value the en-
terprise, energy, and forethought that make
it possible for us to learn of the previous
days doings of the whole world. DemOrests
Magazine is published for S2 year by W..

Notable Electrical Advance.

The great progress in electrical science
has all taken place since 1871. Before
that time there seemed 10 be little more
of it than the telegraph and few philos-
optical instruments for use in schools
Now one is amazed at what has been ac-
complished. Inventors contriyed the
duplex, the quadruplex, the sextuplex
and automatic instruments in quick suc-
cession then with stride came the tele-
phones, and arc and incandescent lights
then the motor, and last Of all the trolley
car. We omit one hundred and one lit
tie things 10 domestic economy utilizing
electricity, and say nothing of heating.-
The trolley car in itself is revolutionizing
suburban existence, and will do much to
relieve the crowded condition Of our cities.
These cars move so quickly and with such
frequent intervals that they are simply
revolutioniziDg transportation for shsrt
distances 1t is well to say that one
great impetus to this progress in the past
year or so has been the great fall in the
price of copper.-Hdrduue.

Clean the Cisterns.

Cisterns should be cleaned out at least
once year, and twice would be better
Many, however, do not clean them until the
water becomes tainted, and even smells bad,
and this usually happens in midsummer
when there is little rainfall. During a
drouth the household is often placed in great
inconvenience to obtain an adequate supply
of soft water. During the winter and early
spring, when the fires are kept burning, the
roofs become covered with SCOT, and every
rain washes the roof, and the impurities are
gathered into the cistern. After spring
showers begin to fall the cistern should be
cleaned out. Pump or bail out the water,
get into the cistern and thoroughly scrub
and rinse the walls and bottom. Often one
or two good showers will fill the cistern to
overAowing. A good plan is to have the
inlet pipe so arranged that after dry spell
of several weeks at any season of the year
the first few barrels of water may be allowed
to run to the drain, then change the pipe and
secure the balance of the roof caught rain.
This plan insures purer and better water,
free from roof dirt-Agricuituralist.

First Sight Of the Atlantic.

At Portland / first saw the ocean, and
this was sort of disappointment. Tides
and salt water had already had at Que
bee, SO that | was no longer on the alert
for them but the color and the yastness
of the sea | was still to try upon my Wis
ion. When | stood on the Promenade at
Portland with the kind young Unitarian
minister whom had brought letter to,
and who led me there for most impress
i've first view of the ocean, could not
make more of it than there was OF Lake
Erie; and l have never thought the color
of the sea comparable to the tender blue
of the lake. l did not hint my disap-
pointment to my friend | had too much
regard for his feelings as an Eastern
man to decry his ocean to bis face, and l
felt besides that it would be vulgar and
provincial to make comparisons. | am
glad now that | held my tongue, for that
kind soul is no longer in this world, and
| should not like 10 think he knew how
far short of my expectations the sea he
was so proud of had fallen. | went up
with him into tower or belyedere there
was at hand and when he pointed to the
eastern horizon and said, Now there was
nothing but sea between us and Africa, l
pretended to expand with the thought,
and began to sound myself for the emo
tions which | ought to have felt at such
sight. But in my heart | was empty,
and heaven knows whether | saw the
steamer which the ancient mariner in
charge Of that tower invited me to look
at through his telescope. | never could

lodging about through space, and failing
to bring down anything of less than plan

Said Nature to Physic, "what pity that We
Who ought to be friends should so seldom
agree.
My strength is exhausted, my energy dead,
From the volley of blue pills discharged at my
head"
1t is not strange that Nature should re-
monstrate against the use of those gripping
aud drastic blue marbles, with which old
fogies Of medicine persist in dosing their
patients. They are not only revolving in
appearance, but oftimes actually injurious
in their effects. Yet Nature needs some

peared to him very beautiful, but he
would like the judgment Of the society
upon it. On the evening appointed

Working Girls as Wires.


The best and hsppiest wife III this and
the next generation is and will be the
self-supporting woman. 1t is so evident
that argument and proofs seem superhu-
Gus. From severely practical stand
point, woman who has made her own
living knows the value of money, has had
experience in making it go as far as pos
sible, has sown all the wild oats of small
extravagances and subsequent scrimping
that make trouble in many new homes.
A dollar to her represents so many hours
work, not few coaxing words addressed
to papa. She knows what kind of home
it is pleasant to come to after tiring
days work, and what sort of breakfast
is the best foundation for eight hours
toll.
She has been used for so long to look
after herself that it is almost heaven to
have some one ask if she had her rubbers
on this morning, and the trifing attention
will be paid by devotion to socks and
buttons which the masculine mind will
enjoy while it may not entirely under
stand.
No matter how plucky and successful
she has been, the selfsupporting woman
has been for years very tired, mentally
and physically, with the weight of re-
sponsibility she has carried. If one week
has been brought to close successfully,
in comparative comfort, and with no
debt incurred, she can only draw very
short breath before the next one COM
mences. 1t may be very selfish, but isn't
it delicious to feel that some one else
whose shoulders are stronger, has taken
this wearing burden from you, aud car
ries it easily, too? What can be more
delightful after years of rushing down
town Immediately after breakfast, or
shutting ones self up in study or Office
early in the morning, than to draw
comfortable, happy breath at the table,
and then set about domestic duties The
sheltered feeling is indescribable and one
that cannot be appreciated by any woman
who has not fought her own battles.
Men as a general thing are good ma
tured and pleasant enough to women
they meet in a business way but how
ever kind they may be, the woman can
never feel that she is at her best outside
of her home. Do you think self-rellant,
plucky bread.winner, who is after all
the more woman for all her brave
march abreast with men, is going to toss
her head and give utterance to the hack
neyed statement about not giving up her
liberty for the best man living, and is
there anything particularly desirable IN
the liberty which consists in working day
after day for food and clothes and a place
to sleep, barely gained by wages which
will be lost the moment some one else is
willing to do the same work for less
money? This applies to every wage-earn-
ing woman, from the girl who spends her
weary days behind counter to the sue
cessfnl brain worker, who is more enyied
because less understood than any of the
women who eat their own bread.-Jessie
