A Bird With q Horn.

The rarest species of bird now extant,
and one which is almost extinct, has its
home in the jungles of South America.
This ornithological curiosity is known
to science as the Palamedra cornuda
and to the common people as the ''horn-
ed screamer. :" AS a rara avis nothing
could excel the cornuda unless it would
be the accidental discovery Of living
moa or an epiornis. But few Of the
bird books even let you know that such
a horned paradox ever existed, let alone
telling you that living specimens Of the
queer creature are still occasionally met
with. The only one now in captivity in
North America, if the writer has not
been misinformed, is that belonging to
the aviary of the Philadelphia Zoolog-
ical gardens and which arrived in this
country about three years ago. The orea-
ture is about the size Of full grown
turkey hen and Of blackish brown col
or. One Of its Distinguishing peculiari-
ties is a rufde of black and white which
surrounds the head. The horny append
age which caused the early South Amer
ican explorers to write so many chapters
on the wonderful rhinooeros bird Of
the jungle" is about four inches in
length and grows straight up out Of the
heaviest and broadcast portion Of the
head. But the above is not the only
natural offensive and defensive weapon
with which the horned screamer has
been provided. On each wing at the
"elbow" joint he has a three inch spur,
and just back Of that another an inch
in length. He is said to be a match for
any ten gamecocks. st. Louis Republic.

white Honse Windows.

The White House windows up stairs
are not very large, but the house is an
tiquated, and the work, of cleaning it is
complicated. Most Of the window panes
have to be taken out and stood upon the
floor as one washes looking glass.
Two support the sash on each side while
two work upon it, rubbing on polishing
stuff and drying fast. After them comes
the glass repairer. He, talented man,
can smooth over scratches and blemishes
and polish down the glass again when
it is again cleaned. The cabinet maker,
too, is called in for setting the panes
firmly in place, for they become loose
from the many visitors who lean against
them in the course Of year, and after
the windows are well repaired come the
sazpenssrs and painters 70 put in place
and touch up until new again. This Il

FARMLAND IN MIDSUMMER.

Shall I tell you how one day
Into fairyland we went?
Fairy folk were all about,
Filling US with glad content.
For we came as worshipers
Into natures temple grand,
And the fairies welcome such
With the freedom of the land.
Through the green rooted aisles we went,
Passing with a careful tread,
For beside our happy feet
Purple orchis raised its head;
And behind. the bluebells hung,
Fading now like ghosts at morn,
Here and there white one bent.
Like ga maiden all forlorn."
From the bank across our way
Ragged robin Haunted red,
And athwart narrow trench
Feathery ferns their shadows spread;
Fair white campion from the hedge
Raised its starry petals chaste,
And the fragile speedwen blue
Bade us on our journey haste.
Hsstes For whyf We soaght the pooh
Where the water lilies bloom,
-Andwe found it ere the night,
Hidden in . leafy gloom
All around like sentinels
r. Yellow iris stood on gusrk
Keeping Ger the virgin queens
Ever faithful watch and ward.
Like pale queens the lilies white
On their leafy couches lay,
Where no wanton hand could reach,
No disloyal foot could stray.
Lovingly we bade adieu
To each golden hearted queen.
And stepped out to where the heath
Laughed to heaven in robe Of green.
Here we gathered treasure trove-
Eyebright. milkwort. cuckoo shoes
Till our baskets. overfull,
Many precious bud must lose;
Till the sunset glory fell
On the blossoms in our hand,
And, with lingering glances, we
Bade farewell to fairyland.

HARD TO PHOTOGRAPH.
Washington Monument q Puzzler to tn
Man With q Camera.

Warrington Monument q Puzzler to the
Man With Camera.
II you ask any Washington photogra-
pher what is the hardest thing to get
picture of about Washington, he will
without hesitation tell you it is the
Washington monument. There is no
fence around the shaft, to be sure, but
the fact that blue sky always photo
graphs white handicaps the ambitious
amateur badly. The marble shaft photo
graphs the same color, and the result is
that when he develops his plate he gets
a beautiful white monument on beau
tiful white background aud the sum to-
tai nothing.
It is rather curious thing that the
finest negative Of the monument was de-
stroyed before half a dozen prints had
been made Of it, and its equal has never
been seen since. 1t was the work Of
Charles Cudlip, Washington photogra-
pher now dead, and one Of the prints Of
1t in existence is now on exhibition in
q window down on the avenue, though
not every one knows its history.
The artist who wants to catch the
shaft by camera has to choose a time
when it has good light on one side Of
it and bank Of thunderclouds for
background. This is not a very common
occurrence, but one afternoon when it
looked as though such combination
was likely to come about Mr.. Cudlip
packed up big camera and hurried
down to the monument. The yain got
there ahead of him, and he was forced
to seek cover until the storm was over.
When it had passed, however, the sun,
which was already low down, came out
bright and strong, while all to the
southeast there was dense bank Of black
clouds almost to the zenith.
He hurried and got an excellent ex-
iposure on big 18 by "a plate. It de-
,veloped without flaw and made mag
niacent picture of the shaft, showing
even the recent rain streaks on the sides,
with the fish ponds and the island in
their midst for foreground.
+ Of course be was delighted, and after
making three prints for specimens stored
the plate with a lot of others in neigh
boring wareroom. He sent the prints
around to various firms from whom he
thought he might get orders and soon
received on order for 500 from a railway |
company, (which wanted them for excur-
sion advertisements, and other orders
from Photographic supply firms, which 4
wanted them as advertisements for neg
atives and silver paper. When he went
to look for the plate, however, he found
that the storeroom where it had been
kept had leak in the roof, and the rub
ber blanket with which the big plate |
had been covered had number Of small
holes in it. The result was that the wa
ter had dripped through on the gelatin
side of the negative, and it had been
eaten to pieces with mould.
Mr.. Cudlip tried many times to du-
plicate The picture. but never succeeded.

IndIan Forest Files.
Miss Eleanor Ormerod, in letter to
The Veterinary Record, gives some in
teresting details Of Indian forest flies,
which, after all, are not very unlike the
horrible pests of the same name which
frequent the woods Of southern England
and most distinctly make life mot
worth living to the poor horses whom
they select as victims. Miss Ormerod
says that s.some horses are driven mad
by the presence of single fly, and in
driving along not unfrequently start
kicking most violently, frequently run
ming away with the carriage" etc.
This has reference to the Indian
specimen, but we read that the Eng
lish winged demon has a Large curved
