The pretty birds in their nests are stillt
We watched the sun rs he sank from sight,
Over the tree tops on yonder hill.
Two stars have come since the daylight went
Away over there in the sky's dark blue,
They must be angels that God has sent
To watch my baby the whole night through.

They croak and croak in the evening light
Down in the pond by the old stone wall.

Never to fear, though the world is dark
They know the lrehY lights the hours
All night long with his cheerful spark.

Dear little head, with your silky hair,
Dear little form that hold so tight,
Cozy aud warm in the nursery chair!

A Remarkable Fall of Stone.

NJ. L. Fletcher, an English mineral
ogist, tells of remarkable fall of
stones which took place at some early
date in the history of Mexico. He
describes fourteen huge masses in all,
and advances the very likely theory
that they originally formed single
meteoric mass that was shattered by
the intense heat engendered while
passing through the earth's atmos-
phere. The fragments of this immense
meteorite are scattered over a section
of country sixty-six miles in length
and twenty-five in width, and it is es-
timated that its total weight was but
little short of 10000 pounds. One
piece OF it, now in the National Mu-
scum at Washington. Atlanta Consti-

MiId Animals In Texas.

Sheep and cattle ranchers in South
west Texas are asking the State to help
them to exterminate or keep down the
wild animals that are playing havoc
with stock in that region. So far
from the advent of settlers thinning
out the panthers, wolves, and coyotes,
the animals are increasing greatly in
numbers through the plenty of food
afforded by the vast herds of cattle and
sheep. The ranehers have spent
thousands of dollars in trying to abate
the pest, but without avail, aud now
they want the State to take hand. -

KIgh Smokestacks tor FACTORIES.

Aside from the fact that tall chin
neys are better for the public health,
by lifting the deleterious product of
combustion far into the upper air, it
would seem that technical considera-
tions alone might recommend them.
But there has been a fad lately for low
ehimneys in factories, and w. b. lie
Van expresses the weighty opinion
that they are a mistake. As to first
cost, there is no saving over a high,
well-proportioned chimney, and the
entire drift of manufacturing require
ments demands the building of high
chimneys so as to enable more fuel to
be burned in given time and space,
thus increasing the power and output
of the boilers. A rapid draft is equiv
alent to a large fre-grate area, and
has the advantage that the hocS.ts is
transmitted much more rapidly to the
boiler by reason of the higher temper
ature obtained. Moreover, in many
industries, the goods produced are
liable to be spoiled by smoke and smut
permeating the lower strata of the
atmosphere. Atlanta journal.

How Horses Sleep.

When the horse sleeps, one ear is
directly forward, why it is not known.
naturalist thinks this is to guard
against danger, being survival of
their original wild habits. He says !:
"Watch horse asleep through the
window of his stable, and make faint
noise to the front. The ear will be all
attention, and probably the other will
hy round sharply to assist. Now let
him go to sleep again, and make the
same noise on one side. The forward
ear will keep his guard, with possibly
a lightning flick round, only to re-
sumo its former position. New York

fifty-one inches is a large spread, some
