A Rirl's Revenge.

A lady who was one day watching o
pair of redstarts as they worked in Il
tree was startled by a violent comma
ton that arose III the shrubbery hard
by. Catbirds screamed, wrens scolded
and the robins shouted "Quick!" with
all their might. A chipmunk was drag
ging a baby catbird by the leg from its
nest and all the birds round about had
come to help make n row about it, in
Guiding a Baltimore oriole. The scream
ing and the swish of wings as the birds
darted about made the squirrel abandon
its prey and then the commotion sub
sided as quickly as it had risen. All the
birds but the oriole went about their
business elsewhere. The oriole had not
said a word SO far, and beyond the coun-
%tenancing the hubbub by his presence
had had no part in it.
The squirrel, having dropped the
baby catbird, cooked itself upon a limb
and began TO chatter in a defiant way,
while the oriole sat not far away look
ing at it, but doing nothing else. But in
a few moments the squirrel left its seat
and ran out ON the limb it had been sit
ting on until it had to use care to keep
its hold, and then the orioles opportu-
nifty for a terrible assault had come.
Flashing across the space he struck the
chipmunk in u eye with his sharp
pointed beak, and then turning instant
~ struck the other eye in like manner.
Quivering with pain, the squirrel let go
the limb and dropped to the ground,
where it rolled and struggled about APP
parently in the throes of death. The
oriole flew away to his favorite elm,
where he sang in his most brilliant fash
ion. The lady put the squirrel out of
its misery and then saw that the oriole
had destroyed both eyes. Chicago Rec

Chameleon Spiders.

An interesting instance of color MIN
icry in spiders has been observed in the
south of France. The spiders of that re-
gion when in search of prey hide in the
oonvolvulus flowers. 1t has been noticed
that a white variety of spiders frequent
ed the white flowers, q greenish colored
variety made the green flowers his home,
and a pink n lived principally in the
pink flowers. The colors of the three
varieties were at first supposed to be
permanent, but it has recently been dis
covered that the color Of any one of
these spiders changes within a few days
If the insect be placed in the convolyulus
of a different colored flower from that
which he has been using as his home.
-Four spiders-pink, white, green and
yellow in color-were all put i'll q box
together, and within three days all We're
white.

A POLAR NIGHT.
Graphic Description of This Time OF Gloom
and DesOlation.


Mr.. Constantin Nossiloff, reporting
in Lie Tour du Monde his scientific re-
searches in Nova Zembla, furnishes az
interesting description of his sensations
and experiences during the long arctic
night, which began Nov, . and ended
Jan. 90.
September was pretty comfortable, he
says. Then suddenly snow covered the
mountains. The Samoyedes, his only
companions, put ON their winter cloth
ing, the fishing boats set sail for Arch
angel, the ground froze, the sun lost its
warmth and heavy SHOWS fell. Winter
had come in earnest.
On the day when the sun showed it
self for the last time all hands went
out of doors TO bid it farewell. 1t re-
manned in sight for half an hour only.
For a few days longer there was a
morning twilight. Then this faded and
gave place to black night. The stars
shone the whole "a hours. The huts of
the colony We're buried under the snow,
OF which thick whirlwinds filed the
air. The wind shook the huts to their
foundations. Sometimes for days to-
gether the inmates of the different huts
could hold no communication with each
other, though the huts were side by side.
If any II went out, he was seized by
the wind and had to be dragged back by
means of ropes.
In this darkness and ~desolation the
aurora borealis did much TO entertain
and cheer them. 1t lasted sometimes for
Ave days in succession, with splendors
Of color that Mr.. Nossiloff tries in vain
to describe. To enjoy the spectacle he
used TO remain for hours in a hole in
the snow, sheltered from the wind.
II have never seen anything more
terrible than a tempest during the polar
night" says Mr.. Nossiloff. MAN feels
himself overwhelmed in immensity."
When there came a lull in the storm,
the men ventured ont to breathe the
air and purge their lungs of the exhala-
tions OF the smoking lamps fed with
seal oil.
Twilight appeared again in the mid
die of January, and on the goth the sun
rose above the horizon, while the MEM
bers of the little colony stood in line
facing it and fired a salute. No one had
died OF been seriously i'll, but all had
the look Of corpses and were feeble as
convalescents after n long sickness.
Health returned with the appearance OF
the u l.--Youth's Companion.

Stroll down the alameda slow

Where rose and belled granada grow.
Tall gray sombreros, silver trimmed,

Shade from bright rays by clouds undimmed
The eyes OF all.
They loiter on with airy grace,
A turn of head this way and that,
Whilo sparkling smiles light mp the face
Accounting gay, theatric chat.
Their jaunty jackets reach the waist,
With rows of buttons closely placed,
And braided trousers, tightly laced,
Costumes complete.

Than shade, bright flowers and tropio
