A BRAVE BIRD.
True Courage Not Incompatible with

True Courage Not Incompatible with
Nervousness.
suppose bird is the bravest crea-
ture that lives, in spite of its natural
timidity. From which we may learn
that true courage Is not incompatible
with nervousness, and that heroism
does not mean the absence of fear, but
the conquest of it. Who does not re-
member the first time he ever ran
across a hen partridge with her
brood, as he was strolling through the
woods In June? How splendidly the
old bird forgets herself in her efforts
to defend and side her young! Small
err birds are no less daring. One even
ing last summer was walking up the
Ristigouche from Camp Harmony to
Mowett's Rock, where my canoe was
waiting for me, to fish for salmon. AS
l stepped out from thicket on to
the shingly bank of the river spotted
sandpiper teetered along before me,
followed by three young ones
Frightened at first, the mother flew
out a few feet over the water. But
the piperlings could not fly, having
no feathers, and they crept onder a
crooked log. / rolled the log over
very gently and took one of the cow
ering creatures into my hand--a tiny,
palpitating scrap Of life, covered with
soft gray down, and peeping shrilly,
like Lilliputian chicken. And now
the mother was transformed. Her fear
was changed into fury. She was a
bully, fighter, an Amazon in
feathers. She flew at me with loud
cries, dashing herself almost into my
face. ! was a tyrant, robber, kid
naper, and she called heaven to wit
ness that she would never give up her
offspring without a struggle. Then
she changed her tactics and appealed
to my baser passions. She fell to
the ground and fluttered around me
as if her wing were broken. Look"
she seemed to say. II am bigger than
that poor little baby. If you must eat
something, eat me! My wing is lame.

Let that little bird go." And SO

AWFUL FAMINE
That Is Now Making of India One vast
Charnel Pen.

That Is Now Making of India One Vast
Charnel Pen.
The famine area in India is about
O,0OO square miles, and extends over
the central, south and northwestern
provinces. says Leslie's Weekly. No
pen could describe its awful horrors.
Some of the things proved by pho
Biography are too realistically horrible
to be reproduced in any publication,
and we print only few OF
the less frightful photographs
taken by the missionaries, because
many have not believed that such an
awful condition could exist in this CEN
tury of plenty and prosperity. Ema-
ciated beyond belief, the starving ma
tives crawl to the house of the nearest
sahib, usually missionary, to crave
food; but $4,000 mouths have to be fed.
Fifteen dollars year will feed Hin
du, yet even this pitiable allowance
is not to be had. The causes OF the
famine are the failure OF the crops, the
refusal of the native princes to allow
their hunting jungles to be converted
into fertile agricultural regions, and
the mysterious disappearance OF spe-
cial famine fund of $100,OO0,O0O, col
lected by the government after the ia
mine of 1877. The Hindu is strict
vegetarian. The low-caste Hindu is a
fatalist. So, when famine stalks abroad
the Hindu submits uncomplainingly.
Day by day he will subsist on less food,
until at last, when mere shadow, he
will drag his bony self to relief sta
ton. There he may get food-or he
NAV not. If not, he crouches in some
corner, or out in the fields, under GODS
trees. and awaits the coming OF death
The majority of the victims are women
and children.

rha Ara Of Birds.

Mr.. J, H. Quincy. in an article IN
the Ibis, discusses a number OF facts
collected from various books and pa
pers. regarding the age to which birds
live. Mr.. Dresser, in his Birds OF
Europe" gives an instance OF a raven
having lived siHty-nine years. Mr.
Meade Waldo has in captivity pair Oh
eagle owls, one of which is sixty-eight
and the other fifty-three years DID,
since 1854 these birds have bred regu-
Iarlv and have now reared ninety
three young ones. A Batelur eagle and
a condor in the Geological gardens az
Amsterdam are still alive at the re-
snectiye ages of flfty-fve and fifty-two'
An imperial eagle Of the age OF nifty
six a golden eagle Of forty-six and a
sea eagle Of forty-two, and many other
birds of the age Of forty downward

Culture of Basket WILLOWS.

The long thin stems of the basket
willow are called osiers, and the osier
willow is the same as the basket will
low. Really there are two kinds OF
osier willows, but there is so little
difference between them that only a
botanist could discover it. Generally
these willows are grown on damp
ground on the banks OF streams or
ponds, but they will grow as easily on
quicker growth and stronger twigs'
The best locality for growing them as
farm crop-is near a large town or
city where many baskets or other WILL
low goods are made. Large quantities
of osiers are used for making chairs,
childrens carriages and other work
besides baskets. There is constantly
increasing demand for them.

Sheen In Spain.

In Spain there are some ten million
of migratory sheep, which every yea1
travel as much as two hundred miles
from the "delectable mountains,
where the shepherds feed them TIL
the SHOWS descend. These sheep are
known as transhumantes, and their
march. resting places and behavior are
regulated by ancient and special laws
and tribunals, dating from the four
teenth century. At certain times no
one is allowed to travel on the same
route as the sheep, which have right
to Craze on all open and common land
on the way, and for which road nine
ty Yards wide must be left on all In
closed and private property. The shep-
herds lead the f1ocks, the sheep follow
and the focks are accompanied by
mules carrying provisions, and large
dogs which act as guards against the
wolves. The merino sheep travel
four hundred miles to the mountains.
and the total time spent on migration
there and back is fourteen weeks
