brought him from Australia on my
last trip. had heard of them before l
went to Australia, and when reached
there determined to go up the coun-
try and see them.
"'Finally secured number of ma
tives and set out. The men called the
animal the mulligong, and said that it
was very difficult to find, and very hard
work, which found to be true.
1.-The natives provided themselves
with long, pointed sticks, and when we
reached the borders of little stream
they began to thrust them into the
soft soil and work them up and down,
much as one does in feeling for turtle
eggs.
"'This we kept up for several hours,
when finally one of the natives said he
had struck nest, and going down
near the water they began to dig, in a
short time uncovered tunnel or bur-
row that led up out of it. This was
carefully followed for ten or fifteen
feet, when they came upon chamber
In which, coiled up, was mulligong or
duckbill.
"'To my delight near it was the
nest, and in it two little oblong eggs,
that reminded me of the cocoons of q
silk worm.
"'This was the most interesting fea-
ture of the expedition, as the eggs were
rarely ever found, and, think of it, an
animal giving milk, yet laying an egg
like a reptile!
1.-THE eggs had evidently just been
laid, and were about three-quarters of
an inch long and half an inch wide,
the shells being strong, flexible and
white.
"'These little creatures are yearly
growing more rare, and will in the
near future, like many of the American
animals, become extinct. &c. Il.

THE UMBRELLA nrRp.
One of the Most Beautiful Iombers Of
tho Feathered Tribe.


Many strange birds are found In
Brazil, and some of the most curious In
the interior of the wooded sand island
of Catua, which is also famous resort
for turtles, while here may be heard
the soft, long-drawn whistle of the
curassow bird.
Among the closely-interwoven crowns
| of the trees, many of them more than
hundred feet high, the hunter some
times spies for the first time that rare
| and singular prize, the umbrella bird, a
species which resembles in size, color
| and appearance our common crow, but
is decorated with crest of long-curved,
hairy feathers, having long, bare quills,
which, when raised, spread themselves
out in the form of a fringed sunshade
| over the head.
A queer ornament, like pelerine, Is
also suspended from the neck, formed
by thick pad of glossy feathers, which
grow on long, fleshy lobe. This lobe
| Is connected with an unusual develop
ment of the vocal organs, to which the
bird owes it's singularly deep, loud and
long fluty note.
The Indian name Of this strange
| creature is urid-min6eu, or fife bird, in
allusion to the tone of its voice, and
| n,im6eu is the Indian name for rude
kind of pan pipes.
1t is a great treat to hear its perform
ance. The bird draws itself up on its
perch, spreads widely the umbrella
formed crest, dilates ard waves its
glossy breast lapel, and then, giving
vent to its loud, piping note, bows its
head slowly forward
The female has only the rudiments of
the crest and lapel, and is not, on the
whole, as fine-loolSing bird as the male.

Amusing Signs I'm Chinatown.

In San Francisco's Chinese quarter an
inquiring stroller recently met with a
curious example of sign-board humor.
On one of the laundry signs he read the
legend: 81 Sing" Directly across the
street was another sign which read
"Yu Sing" while a little further down
the street he saw one which made "Sam
Sing" Here was coincidence enough;
but, on turning the corner, he found two
other signs one of which announced
that 1--WE Sung" and the other one
recorded the fact that "All Sung"

New Bread Pudding Recipe.

A new recipe for bread pudding is one
worth adding to the househecper's note
book. Soak one pint of fine crumbs in
pint of milk until soft, add three ta-
blespoonfuls of cocoa dissolved in lit.
tie water, three well-beaten eggs, a
half-cupful of granulated sugar, and
another pint of milk. Set the pudding
dish in pan of hot water and bake
one hour, Whipped cream favored
with vanilla is very good with this
pudding, or sauce made from scant
cupful of sugar, tablespoonful of corn
starch and cupful Of water may be
used. Cook the ingredients in double
boiler ten minutes, and just before serv-
ing add an ounce of butter and half-tea-
spoonful of vanilla.-St. Louis Republic.

A Carpenters Neat Rebuke.

Workingmen not only have the sen.
sitiveness of other people about their
personal integrity, but sometimes may
have neat way of replying to an i'm.
putation upon it. A carpenter sent to
make some repairs in a private house
entered the apartment of the lady OF
the house with his apprentice.
MARY" the lady called to her serv.
ant, ''see that my jewel case is locked
up at once"
The carpenter understood. He re-
moved his watch and chain from his
vest with significant air and gave
them to his apprentice.
John" he said, "talie these right
back to the shop. 1t seems that the
house isn't safe!"

THE FUNNY DuCKBlLL.
Queer Creature Which Lays Eggs, Give
Milk and Wears Fur.

Queer Creature Which Lays Eggs, Gives
Milk and Wears Fur.
"My friend Harding was somewhat
famous for the extraordinary nature of
his pets" said an English traveller. HE
had beetle that stood upon its head
when touched; lizard that came when
called, and his den was perfect men,
agerie of animals he had collected in
his trips around the world.
During one of my visits to his home
heard a singular scratching sound be-
hind my chair, and in few moments
something crawled up over the back,
and l saw looking at me the queerest of
all animals
Had it not been covered with hair
like sealsl1in, should have said it was
duck, as it had a perfect bill and two
dark, expressive, bead-like eyes, which
looked into mine as though they Won
dered who and what l was.
THE little creature scrambled on and
took it in my hand, and for the first
time saw duckbill, or ornithorhyn-
chus, as pet. The missing link is often
heard of, and surely this little animal
suggests such a creature.
IL SOlne Ingenious person 1au Idhen
the head of a duck, the frame of some
other animal and drawn over it skin
of seal, then given 1t webbed feet and
characteristics of reptile and man.
NAL, he would have produced very much
the kind of animal that now rested on
my lap and polsed its duck-like bill into
my pocket.
SIT had the bills of duck, yet they
contained eight broad, fiat, horny teeth.
The body was covered with hair; the
forefeet webbed beyond the claws, the
hinder ones only to their base.
''In the male there is q spur resemb-
ling that Of a rooster, just such an ami
NAL, in fact that one would expect to
read about in old books that described
the kracken, mermaid and other mon
strosities believed in by the naturalists
of old.
"The little pet was perfectly tame
and did not resent my handling in the
least. 1t seemed possessed with the
greatest curiosity, pushing its bill into
the crevices of my clothes and staring
about as though in search of some
thing.
Jack is great pet, said his mas
ter, laughing at my amazement. 4

PlQUANT PEA SOUP.
Recommended as an Excellent Additier
to the Home Menu.

Recommended as an Excellent Addition
to the Home Menu.
A recipe for pea soup which has a
little different flavor from our every
day pea soup comes from India, where
it is customary to use sharp, piquant
fiavorings. This soup may be recon-
mended as an excellent addition to our
home menu.
Put pint of sound green peas to
soak in quart of water over night. In
the morning drain them and add three
pints of cold water and a bit of soda the
size of pea. Boil them very slowly
until they are soft enough to press
through sieve. An ordinary flour
sieve will do. Cut small onion in
bits and add two cloves of garlic, or
use two onions if more convenient. Fry
these in two tablespoonfuls of butter.
Add six cloves and one bayleaf, and
finally add the whole to the peas that
have been strained through the sieve.
Put in tablespoonful of salt and cup
of canned tomatoes, or fresh ones in
their season. Let the soup cook slowly
for half an hour, when, if it is too thick
for soup, thin it with little boiling
water and let it cook ten minutes
longer. AT this time add pinch of red
pepper, tablespoonful of butter and a
cupful of squares of bread which have
been fried golden-brown in butter.
This soup has an additional advan-
tage of being comparatively nexpen-
sive.-N. Y. Tribune.
