What odd little blossoms are the

from their sleIder stems! And we
think they are rightly named when we
see the wee little brooches dancing in
the breeze. They would ft only a v'ry
tiny person, but perhaps they were
found useful when the fairies lived on
earth and slept in moss roses or acorn
cups.
However that may be, the flowers are
very beautiful and excite ones admira-
tion whenever we find them blossoming

woods, where they ran find an abun-
dance Of good leaf-mold in which 10
rink their pinkish bulbs.
Another name for them Is white

From the rootstock comes up a clus.

The cool leaves are beautiful and are
cut into many compound, feathery leaf

nodding blossoms OF yellow and white.

WINGED PIRATES At SEA.


tiorrcoua-Hued HumuinR Birds Lit
erany CnptUre steamer.
A horde Of pirates boarded the steam
cr walla Walla the ether day when she
was is miles of Cape Mendocino on
the Pacific coast.
There were about 200 Of them, and
they swarmed over the vessel, laying
about them to right and left, and
plunging their swords into everything
that seemed of value.
Their gorgeous plumage futteIiug
about the deck made the ship seem like
bird fancier's shop, for these pirates
were q big flock of humming birds with
q stiff land breeze behind them. They
had burst suddenly out Of dense fog,
and alighted on the vessel at dusk.
The birds seemed so nearly dead with
hunger and fatigue that they had lost
all fear of human beings. They had
probably been driven off shore by the
lond breeze and lost in the fog. Some
of them perched on the first solid ar
ucles they saw, gave two or three lit
tie gasps, and then tumbled over dead.
Some went straight for the heads of
two or three women passengers who
wore flowers in their hats, and began
buzzing. about them as industriously
as IL the flowers contained nectar. One
few into the ear Of w. S. Mcfarland
and lodged there so tightly that IL could
not get out without assistance. Third
Mate Hogan caught one In his ear, and
one on his mustache, and neither bird
lost a moment before II began TO drill
for food.
The captain and the passengers
quickly did all they could to care for
tha half-starved creatures. They
brought out pons OF water and breed
crumbs and humps Of sugar, and the
birds made haste to fll themselves.
Some OF them ate until they were so
full that they rolled over on their sides
and lay on the deck, blinking happily
at all around them. Lumps Of sugar
soaked in water were their greatest de-
light, but these they would not eat un-
less the Jumps were held in someone's
half-closed hand.
Capt. Wallace held a lump Of sugar in
his mouth and two OF the birds buzzed
about his face and sucked at the sugar
greedily. The captain kept 20 Of the
birds In his cabin over night, and many
Of the passengers had dozen each in
their rooms.
When the vessel was close to Point
Reyes the next day most Of the birds
were liberated, and as soon as they
looked about and saw land many few
directly to it. But about so did not care
TO risk so short a journey over the
ocean wave, and decided TO stick TO the
ship.
But the sea voyage, following the
hardships and exhaustion Of the day
before, was too much for the frail lit
lie things, and they gradually drooped
and died Wher the Walla Walla came
into port here the captain still had four
humming birds alive, and the passen-
gers had as many more.-ChicagoJ Jour

BRIGHT FUTURE OF BRAZIL.
Essentially an Agricultural Country,
Susceptible TO Vast Development.

Essentially an Agricultural Country,
Susceptible 10 Vast Development.
Undoubtedly the coming power Of
South America is Brazil. William
Harper, Of Philadelphia, who has just
returned from q commercial tour of the
various South American countries, isen-
thusiastic over the prospects Of the
young republic, and gives glowing ac-
count of its resources. According to
Mr.. Harper, Brazil occupies approxi-
lnltely the some position in the south
temperate zone as this country occupies
in the north temperate zone. II has
coast line of 4,2O0 miles, and contains
an area Of 3,26l, 900 square miles, which
makes Il almost the size of Europe, and
236,0OO square miles larger than the
United States. There are 40 ports along
the coast, Of which Bio dc Janeiro is
the largest on account Of its extensive
anchorage and the safety II affords to
shipping. The other leading ports are:
Para, Maranpao, Parabyba, Pernambu-
co, Mucio, Aracaju, Bahia, lheos, Santa
Cruz, Porto Segurn, Victoria San
tos, Paranague, Santa Carparina and
Rio Grande do Sui
The country along the Atlantic coast,
as far north as Bahia and extending
back into the interior for a distance of
300 OF 4cO miles is rather mountainous.
To the north and west Of this region,
however, the country Is richly produc-
tive, abounding in diversified crops and
scanned with broad rivers. Brazil Is es-
sonSally agricultural in the characsF
a ifs soil and climate. Among its ps-
rious products are india rubber, cocoa,
sugar cane, cotton, tobacco, coffee, nuts
and various other exports. Although
il comprises a greater territory than
the United States, IL includes only 20
states. Four Of these are inland, while
the remaining 10 border upon the sea
coast. Scattered over the vast terri
tory Of Brazil is q thin population Of
only i6,5OO,0OC, half white and half
mixed breed. Most Of the immigrants
that yearly pour into the country are
from Spain, Italy and Portugal, al
though within the last few years larger
proportions have been derived from
other sources.
With such vast material wealth as
| the country possesses Il Is evident that
great prosperity awaits our sister re-
public. II the present republican form
OF government Is maintained and good
inducements are held out 10 immigrants
this prosperity win not be long in ma
terializing, and our sister republic of
Brazil VIII inevitably become one Of
The greatest powers Of South America.

was lightly slimming over the ice,
while his wife stood admiring the grace
with which he moved. They had sought

there was no one to warn him that he
was approaching spot of danger.
