the railroad people about special
trains for the state fair to be held at
Sioux Falls Sept. 80 to Oct. s. inclu-

The Tongues OF Birds.

The old idea that the woodpecker
transixes its prey with its sharp-tipped
tongue is probably not yet extinct, but
Herr Prevot adds his opposition to
this opinion, and states that the in
sects are agglutinated to its tongue by
the sticky secretion with which its sur
face is copiously covered Although
the form of the tongue usually cor
responds to the shape of the bill, there
are exceptions to this rule, as for ex-
ample, in the waders, kingfsher, and
hoopoe, which, in spite of their loug
bills, only possess small, cartilaginous
tongues; in the pelican, indeed, the
tongue is altogether rudimentary.
In most birds whose food consists
of seeds the tongue is dart or awl
shaped; in others, spatulate; rarely,
yermiform or tubular. In some birds
such as the owl, which swallow their
prey entire, the tongue is broad and
serves as a mere shovel. In the hedge
sparrow, nuthatch, woodcock, and
others, the tongue is bitid or trifd at
its apex, while in the hummingbirds
the tongue is split into two branches
almost to its base, snd is used for ac-
tually gripping the small insects on
which these respondent little crea-
lures subsist.
In the family of parrots the tongue
is provided at its apex with brush OF
some $50 or 300 hairlike processes. In
the parrots, the tongue is thick and
heshy, devoid OF horny barbs or papil
lac, and is even suspected to possess
sense organs of taste. Nature.

I had the benefit of some official
protection, and had no difficulty in
obtaining admission to the church,
writes George Augustus Sala, of the
funeral of Alexander III. The edi-
flee was built more than hundred
wears ago on the site of smaller
church erected by Peter the Great,
and in the vaults beneath moulder the
ashes of all the Tsars and Tsarinas of
Russia, from Peter Velike himself down
to the present time, and with the sole
execution of Peter H., who was buried
at Moscow. The locality of each i'm.
perial vault is marked by modern
marble sarcophagi in the nave above,
the more modern ones being sur
mounted by huge wreaths and crosses,
apparently of natural flowers; but, in
reality, made of beautifully executed
porcelain. The treasury of the cathe-
dral abounds in relics, among them
being reputed skull of the Apostle
St. James. The walls are thickly
hung with trophies conquered from
the Turks, the Persians, the Khans OF
the Crimea and the French; and
among them may be seen the horse
tails, symbolizing the dignity of Os-
mauli Pashas and the keys of the cita.

The woodland stretched Its arms to me,
And into its heart went,
While by my SIDE inyisibly
Walked musing-eyed Content.
The woodland spake no word to me,
But, oh! its thoughts were sweet;
Against my spirit like sea
felt the thought-waves beat.
Before my vision starved and dull
The wood shapes dropped their gold;
TIE young child trees were beautiful
More beautiful the old.
Within their halls OF memory
What heavenly scenes are drawn
The stream, the wild birds company;
The sly's cool face at dawn,
The golden lances OF the sun;
The rain that feels Its way;
The twilight steps that one by one
Lead to the moons white ray.
The multitude Of bright leaf forms
Engraved ON earth and air,
The black and gold of midnight storms;
The blue that violets wear
These throng the greenwood memories;
Upon this perfumed track
The thoughts of all the silent trees
Go wandering back and back
This is the charm that cometh last,
OF all their sweets the sum
The feeling Of green summers past,
And fair green s rings to come.
