The vines, in luxuriance, bordered
the pathway as we assembled, and K is
said that for years after the wine has

or elsewhere, it always ferments and
becomes agitated when the wineries
from whence it came are in bloom; but
this tale may perhaps be as true as
the accounts of these mighty ruins

Fortunate islands, but of which no
trace remains now.
Tom Lambourne and I, after a ram
BILE of some hours, found ourselves in
a wild and solitary place, where blocks
of lava and heaps of yellow pumice
dust were lying among shattered
masses of basalt, which were studded
with spars and crystals that glittered
as the sunshine streamed through a
ravine upon them.
The sides of the ravine were clothed
with rich copsewood and little thickets
Of the retama-blanca, which there
grows about ten feet high, and is COW
cred with tufts of odoriferous flow
ers.
h distant sea, the waves of which
seemed to bask or sleep in the sun
shine, closed the perspective of this ra-
vine; and there we could see the Eu-
genie at anchor, with her snow white
courses loose and her other canvas
neatly handled.
Being warmed by our walk, we sat
down within the mouth of a species Of
natural grotto, formed by masses of
lava and basalt, which in some past
age the throes of the volcano had
thrown and heaped together. There a
clear spring gurgled ~joyously from a
assure in the rocks; and now, opening
the courier bag. we proceeded to make
our breakfast on the viands 1 had
brought from the ship-to wit, bologna
sausage and biscuits, with brandy and
water.
The air was deliciously clear, and
over the brow Of the rocky chasm in
which we sat, there fell a natural
screen of all the wild Indian fig and
vine creepers, and these shaded us from
the increasing heat of the morning
sun.

SLY OLD MULE.
Made the Soldiers Shrek with Laughter
Had His Own Way.

Made the Soldiers Shrek with Laughter
Had His Own Way.
"a pack mule that has seen service
gets very cunning" said an ex-sold1er
in the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
81 remember we had one old fellow
who had been in the army for twelve
or fifteen years, and he knew as much
as most of the men. He was OCCASION
ally used as leader, and was very fond
of that job, because in that case he
had no load to carry. To see him
maneuvering to get to the front was
very comical. The regulation pack
weighs 200 pounds, and the mules o
learn to size it up to a nicely, refusing
to carry anything more. For that
reason they are blindfolded while be-
ing loaded, otherwise they would be
continually looking around to see
whether the pack was inside the limit.
On n occasion we received a coffin
to be sent to Siboney, and the old mule
referred t O was selected to carry it.
The coffin weighed only twenty-five
pounds, but the mule must have con-
cluded from it's size that it weighed a
ton and he Immediately began to groan
in the most pitiful manner, exactly
like a human being. When the coffin
was put on his back he pretended to
stagger and sagged down as if he were
carrying a ten-inch gun. At the same
time he turned his head and looked at
me with a mournful expression that
was as easily read as so much print.
Good heavens he seemed to say, are
you going to allow me to be crushed
by this m burden?' We were
shrieking with laughter and tried to
make him take his place in line, but
not an inch would he bulge. Finally
he deliberately rolled over and knocked
the coffin off. That settled 1t. We
let the old rascal take the bell, and |
could almost hear him ~chuckling as
it was Topped around his neck. An
other mule was then blindfolded and
took on the coffin without trouble"

KILLED BY A A
The Loon Is a Dangerous Bird with

"hAS W DNtNA
The loon, or great northern diver, is
a powerful bird. The following in
stance of one of them ~conenering a
nan happened a few years ago: A
young Micmac Indian living at Grand
Lake, N. s., wanted to get the skin of
orc of these beautiful birds to pre-
sent to his mistress on her birthday.
One day the youth, who was an adept
at initiating the peculiar sobbing cry
of the loon succeeded in calling a bird
within shooting distance. His shot,
hoAever, failed to kill outright, and
the bird, although SO severely wound
ed that it could neither swim nor dive,
yet retained sufficient life and strength
to remain upright in the water. The
boy, thinking that his game did not
trieve it, but when he approached near
enough to seize the bird it suddenly
made a dash at him, sending it's head
and neck out with a spring like an
arrow from a bow. 1t was only by
a quick duck of his head that the In

He swan about the loon several times,
attempting to dash in and seize him
by the neck, but the wary bird sue
ceeded in foiling each effort by con-
~tinually facing him and lunging out
with his powerful neck. The Indian
then swan up to within a few feet OF
the bird, and, diving under him with
considerable skill, caught him by the
legs. He carried him under, and, al
though the bird struggled fiercely man

they both rose to the surface again a
battle royal began, the Indian seek
ing to carry his prize ashore and the
bird attempting to regain his free
dom. The bird, however, was toe
much for his foe, and before the In
dian had covered a yard on his shore

cious blow from his beak full on the
naked chest. The effect of the blow
was almost instantaneously fatal, for
the beak penetrated close to the In
dams heart.-Youth's Companion.
