What SnufrreIs Eat.

Squirrels do not entirely subsist on
nuts, as most people suppose. They are
largely fruit eaters, and occasionally
work big havoc in the orchards at the
fall of the year. They are not above
stealing partridge eggs, and on this &C.
count are not beloved by the sportsmen.
Even poultry, when they stray, as they
often will, and lay eggs beyond the con-
fines of the poultry yard. suffer from at.
tacks of squirrels when the mother bro
is away. In pine tree districts these
little climbers are fond of splitting the
pine cones and eating the seeds there
of. But above all things squirrels are
fond of fungus. They will not have any
thing to say to the common or garden
mushroom, but confidently devour the
most yellow and poisonous looking OF
toadstools that grow in damp woods
and fields. They never store these, for
they know well that fungi will not
keep. They devour them greedily as
they come to light, and revisit the spot
as soon as fresh spawn renews the run
gus. There are. however, many xmas
of toadstools that squirrels know to be
poisonous and these they will not touch

English Railways.

Americans who travel in England
never cease to wonder at the great
heaps of luggage at the railway sta
lions, which seem to belong to anybody
who cares to help himself. The sim
plicity of the process struck an ex-con-
Wet recently, and he saw how much
safer and easier a thing it was to help
himself to valise than to forge note,
as he had been doing. He was eventu-
ally arrested, but not before he
had slowed away so portmanteaux,
which were found in his room. The
discovery has caused a renewed agita-
ton for a checking system like the
American, which is now coming into
general use in France and other con-
tinental countries. With American
checks and American vestibuled cars
and sleepers, English travellers will
soon have nothing to pride themselves
on but their lack of "cowcatchers."-

COLONY OF WILD HERoNs.
Birds That Do Much Good in n Mod
est Way.

-
est Way.
Somewhere in the hills about four
miles back of Holbrook's Station, on the
Northern Pacific, and about II miles
from this city, there is heronry, where
hundreds of herons have their nests and
raise their young. The place is in
deep ravine, not far from public road,
and would be visited by numbers of per-
sons if they only knew where it is. The
herons build their nests away up in the
tall fir trees, and sometimes there are
several nests in a tree. The heronry, as
such colonies are called, covers about 20
acres of land. There are, without exag-
~eration. hundreds of nests in this tract,
and some say thousands. The herons go
down to the ponds and sloughs on
Sauvie's island and catch frogs, carp
and other reptiles and fishes to feed
their young. They have regular fly
vay." and person who knows where to
post himself can easily get shot at
them.
The heronry was several miles distant
from where it now is few years ago,
but some one took to shooting them, so
they moved A few days since two or
market from that section, and it is
probable that the same fellow is modest
ing them again, and viii doubtless drive
them out of the country.
There is no need of this. The heron is
not fit for eating, and is only bought by
Chinese, and the man who shoots them
gets only a trife for them. They are
harmless birds, and destroy only rep
tiles and carp, or other no-account fish,
and the heronry should not be molested
It is on tract of land owned by Mr..
Poole, of this city.
In Great Britain heronries have long
been protected by law and customs and
there were many years ago immense
ones, but the draining of swamps and
fens reduced their food supply, and they
had to scatter about more, but they are
not molested wherever they go. The
reason for the herons collecting in the
place above mentioned is that the
sioughs and ponds on Sauvie's island
furnish plenty of food for them. They
will do something toward keeping down
the carp, and, as the heronry is curl
osity and attraction, it ought not to be
broken up.-Portland Oregonian.

There are few researches more inter
estinp than those which touch upon the
discovery or manufacture of diamonds.
An explorer in the mountains in Natal
came upon the crater of an extinct vol,
cano. There was a very stable lake at
the summit, and an examination of the
shore and soundings taken brought up
sand which held small diamonds. There
is a good deal of interest manifested
as to whether an actual diamond mine
is discovered or whether these gems
were there by accident, being lost or
thrown into the water. AS the noun
tains of this region are not supposed
to be Acknowledging, it is suggested
that volcanic action may have had some
thing to do with the formation of these
nrecious stones.-N. Y. Ledger.
