HAREs AND RABBITS.

Naturalist Hornaday Describes Their Ap'
pcarance and Habits.
Like the true fur-bearing animals, all
the varying hares have two kinds o.
hair--a dense, fine and downy-soft un-
der-fur, through which grows thin
coat of coarse, straight hair. Usually
It is the latter which gives the animal
It's color. In summer these long hairs
are black; but In the fall, as winter APP
proaches, they actually turn white.
The brown color of the summer coat Is
due to the shedding Of the coarse hair
in early spring, which allows the color
of the under coat to predominant for q
time.
The habits Of varying hares and rab-
bits are so much the same that one ref
erence to them is well-nigh sufficient
for all. These creatures all require
brush, rocks, or rugged ravines in
which to hide from the wolves, foxes,
hawks, owls, and other enemies they
are powerless to fight. When a mem
Der of the lepus family can have his
choice, he burrows to get out OF harms

A LOCUST STORM.

MIR. Darwin's Account of a Curious Ex-
perience in Chill.
When Mr.. Darwin travelled in Chill
he was fortunate enough to witness
what the natives call ''locust storm.
He says that at first there appeared,
just above the southern horizon, dark
and slightly reddish cloud, with a
ragged edge. At first it seemed to be
such a cloud as may be made by the
smoke of some very large fire, in which
spices or tobacco may be burning, SO
dense was it, and yet with such a red
glow showing through the darkness.
But it became rapidly larger and
denser, approaching with great swift
ness. Then the strangers thought it
must be storm cloud, especially as it
came with rushing, roaring sound,
like strong wind against the sails and
through the cordage of ship at sea.
But the strange cloud came nearer,
and it was found to be an immense
swarm of locusts on its way northward.
The swarm passed over the heads OF
the travellers at a height of about
twenty feet from the ground, and
seemed to rise to the height of between
three thousand and four thousand feet.
The noise was made by the rapid and
continuous movement of such a vast
number of wings. Looking upwards
from below them the sky could be seen
through the advance guard, although
it was darkened SO that it looked like
the lighter tones of mezzotint en-
craving, but after the mass became
densest no sky could be seen through it.

To many people Spring and its duties
mean an aching head, tired limbs, and
throbbing nerves. just as the milder
weather comes, the strength begins to
wane and .that tired feeling is the
complaint of all. I.
The reason for this condition Is
found in the deficient quality OF the
blood. During the winter, owing TO
various causes, the blood becomes
loaded with impurities and loses its
richness and vitality. Consequently,
as soon So the bracing effect OF cold
air is lost, there is languor and lack OF
energy. The cure will be found in
purifying and enriching the blood.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the greatest
and best spring medicine because IT is
the greatest and best blood purifier.
It overcomes that tired feeling because

these, he hides in hollow logs or trees
which is frequently sad mistake
under the top Of fallen tree, or in the
tangie of brush patch. When he is
seldom disturbed in his haunts, he be-
comes quite bold, and works out for
himself under 6 thick bush little
bower called form" where he sits in
fancied security.
If the man with a gun approaches,
he sits as motionless as statue, ears
cooked, eyes staring, breathing seldom
and winking never, hoping that he will
not be noticed. With beating heart he
keeps tab on the distance between the
hunter and himself, and draws an i'm
aginary dead-line ten feet away. If the
hunter does not cross that-well and
good--he sits still; but let him take one
step over it, and-zip! out shoots Mr..
Hare like long streak Of gray light.

out to it's extreme length, flying over
hillocks, darting between brush
clumps, and four steel-spring legs
reaching wildly for more ground; and
finally, at the time for disappearing, a
cotton-white flag of truce is waved
back of you beseechingly.
In summer these creatures grow fat
on soft young twigs, buds of many
kinds, grass, leaves and berries, but in

HISTORICAL PARROTS.
Talking Birds Who Delighted Kings,
Queens and Commoncrs.

Talking Birds Who Delighted Kings,
| Queens and Commoncrs.
The very oldest parrot story on rec
ord comes down from Queen Elizabeth's
day. She owned a fine talking bird,
gifted with SO much wit and good sense,
her majesty was far fonder of him than
her hawks and greyhounds.
He wore a ruff of bright ribbons
about his neck, little gold bells on his
feet, was an astonishing acrobat, and
sitting on his royal mistress shoulders
would give saucy answers to the noble
ladies and gentlemen to whom her
majesty gave audience.
One day when the queen went on a
water party in the royal barge,
whether in fright or frolic, Polly, who
had been prowling about the boat, fell
at last plump into the river.
A ferryman, seeing the mishap, bold
ly jumped in and rescued the fright
ened bird. Then dispute arose as to
how much the man should be paid.
LET us leave it to the parrot" said
the queen, whereat Polly, who had sat
silently preening his bedraggled feath.
ers, looked up, winked hts round, red
eyes and said in gruff voice: 80, give
the knave groat," and that put an
end to the discussion.
The cleverest parrot ever known was
the property of a poor actor named
O'Keefe The bird not only talked clev-
erly but sang swcetly, in tenor voice.
His favorite song was Lord save the
king" but not sound would the par
rot make on Sunday.
He enjoyed church going and sat sol
emily, on the back of pew, paying
the most respectful attention to all that
was said.
One day, when the sermon proved
very long and tiresome, the good cler-
gyman arrived at an impressive pause,
just to give weight to his words, and
the sober sided parrot screamed out:
"Amen! amen! now let us be off, and
scuttled out the door, near which his
master sat, leaving the weary congre-
cation, and, after a bit, the good-nat-
ured clergyman, too, laughing heartily.
The fame of this parrots achieve
ments reached the royal palace, where
upon King George commanded him to
sing before the court.
When Polly entered the royal pres
ence and was ordered to sing God Save
the King" not sound would the bird
make. Then his majesty, put in quite
q rage by this obstinate discourtesy,
stallSed out of the room.
Hardly had the door closed, however,
when the parrot broke gayly into the
national anthem in voice SO fine that
the king delightedly reentered the
room and offered O'Keefe a princely
sum for so gifted a bird.
O'Keefe loved his feathered friend toe
dearly to part with him, and tucking
Polly close to his breast, under his

to keep him.
When the parrot died the British mu-
scum bought the skin and stuffed 1t,
and to-day Polly is to be seen in the
museum at Oxford.
A learned Philadelphia Polly sang
charplingly both in German and Eng
lish. He loved to sit in a sunny back
window, and toss seed and crumbs to
hungry city sparrows; not only were
his feelings deeply hurt, but he would
scream and scold, unless permitted to
bless all the family good night and
good morning.
He enjoyed the companionship of a
mate who laid several eggs, but could
never hatch them, so in despair they
set out to adopt some children.

ALWAYS GLAD.

When he opened his eyes each morning
He was glad to be awake;
He was glad whom called to breakfast,
And ready his place to take.
He was glad to hear the school bell.
And glad when called to his class,
For he always had his lessons
Whatever might come to pass
He was glad at recess and noontime.
And always on hand for play;
And glad to be going homeward,
When school was closed for the day.
He was glad to help his mother,
AND frolic with little Fred:
And when he was tired and sleepy.
He was glad to 60 to bed.
