The Worlds Rarsst Bird.

To find the rarest bird in existence
you must go to the mountains be-
tween Anam and Loas, where there is
Icertain kind of pheasant. Formany
years its existence was known only by
the fact that its longest and most
splendid plume was in much request
by mandarins for their headgear. A
single skin is worth s10O, and the
bird living would be priceless, tOE Il
soon dies in captivity.

was sure thing that the people would
have race for their money.
OF late years he has been used as a
buggy horse by Mrs. Circe and in
