A FOur-Lcgged Bird.

In the Popular Science News is an
account of bird which in the early
stages of It's life uses its wings as loco
motive and prehensile organs. 1t is
found in South America. 1t is the
crested hoatzin, and it is the only
survivor of a race of extinct birds.
Though about the size and shape of n
peacock, it is seldom seen because of
its retiring habits. 1t feeds upon
wild arum leaves, and its flesh has such
an offensive odor as to render it unit
for food.
The remarkable popularity of the
bird is that when it is hatchod it has
four we'll developed legs. The young
birds leave tho nest and climb about
like monkeys over the adjoining limbs
and twies, and act and look more like
tree toads than birds. The fore lirab
is divided into two long, well.de.
veloped toes, each ending in a claw.
With these toes they grasp the limbs
AMI climb around in true quadruped
fashion. They have no feathers, but
arc covered with n sort OF down or
hair. As the Young bird develops it
loses its claws, the toes cense TO grow,
the hand broadens out, the limb de-
vclops into n wing, end the whole
body becomes covered with feathers.
Another remarkable thing about these
birds, young and old, is that they are
good swimmers, and can remain under
the water a long time.

EMBRo1pER1Es NOW FAD.

Not since the days of our great
grandmotheIs has so much handwork
been seen on the best gowns of TIE
season. 1t is the chief reason of the
costliness OF the newest frocks.
Silk embroidery Is one OF the favor

Bodices and even gowns made en-
tirely of sequins are one of the fash

tiny sequin is sewed to the foundation

Jeweled lace is much used, and if
the lace is worthy its price the Jewell

Many of the collarettes which glis.

than for many seasons past. They are

FArrsNINa saEur AND LAMBS.

There is always money to be made
in winter fattening of sheep, and still
more in the fattening of lambs, which
in this case are yearlings. But to
make the money requires experience
in buying the right class of stock to
feed, and still more in feeding so as to
keep the animal always from becom-
ing cloyed. This is very difficult, and
requires both close attention and
practical discrimination in the kinds
and amounts of feed to be given. A
thrifty growing animal is always pre-.
ferable to one that is scrawny and
poor. If digestion in either sheep or
lamb is once injured, the animal never
fully RECEIVERS. Hence the beginuing
of feeding ought always to be very
light, and part OF it should be of bran
and teaspoonful of oil meal mixed
with it for each animal at feeding
Alter weeks feeding on this n few
oats, whole, may be added, lessening
the amount o. bran at the same time
AS tue weather grows colder, whole
corn may be substituted fo- one third
and finally one-half of the oats. With
this mixed feed, bran, oil meal, oats
and corn sheep will seldom get off
their feed if it is limited to what will
be eaten clean each oay.-American

ROSE NOTES.

The fine hybrid tea rose, Augusta
Victoria, has been not sufficiently
praised. 1t is classed by one florist as
among his "thoroughbreds." 1t has q
large, dark, glossy green leaf and pro-
duces, with average freedom, great
blooms which are beautiful in the bud,
or half blown, or when fully out, with
no stamens seen, and their pure white
petals just tinted at the center with
lemon yellow. A plant of mailing size
had in ten weeks from planting two
fine blooms, one of eighty-two, aud
another OF ninety-four petals. The
blossoms were larger the second year.
The bush had grown to be fourteen
inches high, and seventeen inches
across. Nearly every one Of the long
clean new shoots had a blossom, ono
four inches across with 104 petals.
"a fair sized Alfred Colomb has 1875
The rose is of German origin, and its
only fault is that it is tender and must
be taken up over winter.
The white La France hybrid teal is
hardy with protection. 1t has light
bright green leaf, blooms freely, and
as soon alter planting as the Victoria.
1t has about fifty petals of leathery
texture, ivory white, lighted at the
base by a suggestion of pink, and is in
form like the pink La France. The
blooms are from two and half to four
inches in diameter.
The Meteor hybrid tea) blooned in
nine weeks from planting. 1t makes
tall growth with, dark leaves, and
is seldom without bud, which, how
ever, is long in developing and may
fail to open.
In cool weather they are fine,

petuals. The first bloom was three
and quarter inches in diameter and
has sixty-four petals. 1t is hardy with
protection.
Madam Schwaller IA hybrid teal bears
off the palm for hardness, vigor, fra
GRANGE and freedom OF bloom. It has
clusters of buds occasionally like the
Duchesse de Brabant, which it resem-
bles in its autumn flowers, which are
shell-liko and dellcately tinted. It
sends up a profusion of stiff red stems,
growing by the second season to a
hight of over two feet. The roses arc
pink, great blushiug beauties, with the
fragrance OF June Jacqueminot. It's
lasting qualities as n cut flower for
wearing are wonderful. One blossom
of Madam Schwaller was worn for sew
eral hours on three successive days,
reviving perfectly between times when
placed in water.
The following method of treating
roses in winter was recommended to me
by n successful amateur. Pot the roses in
October and keep them out of doors,
tho near the house, until very late,
sometimes till December, protecting
them from severe frosts. They may
freeze without injury and are less
likely after it to be troubled with in

THE BEST TYPE OF BONNET.

The bonnets with the soft, waving
brims are generally becoming. The
multiplying OF shapes is necessary to
suit the bonnets to the varied types of
the American face. The best milliners
have learned the necessity of fitting
and adar ting bonnets and hats to the
individual; they do not attempt, as
too many dressmakers do, to fit all
their customers from few importe
models, without regard to the indi-
viduel requirements of face and figure.
The new coronet-trimmed bonnets,
which are called "directolre, though
the shape is probably copied from the
jeweled "kokoshaiks" worn by Rus
sian women, are not likely to be be-
coming. The style demands facial
outlines not common among our
sprightly, piquant-featured American
beauties. Chicago Times Herald.

when bought consists of an ordinary
coat with haring skirts, wide collar and
deep cuffs. To convert it into an Eton
jacket all that is necessary is to detach
the skirt from the waist, and for q
zouave, the sleeves slip out. More
over, the skirt can be divided and
fitted into the armholes in cape fash
ion, the garment then being identical
with the very fashionable cape coat of
the present mode. Still again, the
skirt section can be fitted to the under
