The use of kittens and swallows for
notes of music is a novelty, and Mr. de
l<alb has done it very deftly. The in
Il reduction says:
tOnce upon time music man said to
g picture man, and a picture man said
tc a music man, Come, let us make q.
true little book Of songs for true little
children to sing First they both went
out of doors and with a log brush made
of green and gold peacocks' tails, they
swept all the verses they could find right
out Of the deep blue sky. Then the
music man wrote notes for every word
notes with no tails and notes with cat
tails, notes running up and down, notes
high and sweet, notes soft and low The
picture man drew On his double slate all
the fairy boys and girls he had ever
dreamed of on long summer day, and
all the fierce and fuzzy bears he dared
not dream OF on a long winter night
That is the inspiration and it only re-

Joint efforts.

HARD TO KILL.
Stories Showing the Marvellous En-
dUrRnce of the AIbatrOss.

New York Sun.
Mr.. William j. Reed writes from New
Zealand that an albatrosS was recently
caught on the steamer Star of New Yea
lana. 1t was killed, as was supposed, by
being strangled, and was then wrapped in
an old meat cloth and put in a snow
chest for refrigerating. The body lay in
this chest for ten days, at a temperature
varying from zero to Is degrees FIR. Then
one of the sailors said he heard the bird
making a noise. Mr.. Coombs, the first
engineer, took the bird out of the box
and down to the engine room, where it
moved its head, opened its beak and
looked around with wide open eyes The
lower part of the body and legs were
OF its misery.
Another story of a similar sort that
need not be repeated here seems also to
show that the albatrosS is exceedingly
tenacious of life.
Probably the most remarkable story Of
an albatross ever told was that of a bird
which was found dead on Sept. q, 1897,
on the beach near Freemantle, in South
Australia. Around its neck was fastened
a small piece of tin, upon which had been
scratched in French:
Thirteen shipwreeked men took refuge
upon Crozet Islands on Oct. 4, 1887.
This remarkable information was at
once cabled by the governor of South
Australia to the French government
which ordered the transport Meurthe,
then in the Pacific, to proceed as fast
vessel reached the islands it found the
camp of the ship-wrecked men and a
note from them saying that they num-
bered thirteen and were the crew of the
three-master Tamaris, owned in Bor-
deauX. Their shin had driven ashore
and gone to pieces and they had lived
there for some time on fish and bird
eggs. They added that they had just
built boat out of the Wreckage of
the ship and were about to start for Pos
session island, 100 miles way, where they
thought they would very likely, be
picked up by whaler.
The Meurthe at once went to Posses
sion island, but no trace of the men
could be found. Their little boat had
undoubtedly been swamped on the jour-
ney over the stormy waters.
