Th. Bird of i.aradI.e.

L Probably EO famous birI has small CT habitat than the bird Of paradise. whose beautiful feathers are so highly prized in the millinery trade. No one knows why the varieties of this beuu- tfful bird are confined to the island of New Guinea and the neighborinx coasts of Australia. There are many other islands not far away where the conditions would seem to be equally favorable to their existence, but they are not found among them, and if we should ever see hunter of the bird of paradise we would. know that he was a native of New Guinea or the neigh boring mainland of Australia or had visited those regioas. .-.-

s,"SLEEPY" WOODCHUCk.

The Little Animals Are Far More
 Alert Than They Appear.
 If there is any one of our native ami malls that looks slow, clumsy, lazy and generally unfit to survive in the struggle for existence it is the wood chuck .SAfter he has built, or rather F excavated.' his home-which. to tell the truth. he does in q rapid and busi- nesslike way-he does nothing but eat and sleep. Yet any one who sizes him up as an incompetent is likely to get fooled, for he is a source of continual surprises hgs E6sa
 When your garden is not far from the woods you may be awakened in the middle of the night by q series of most alarming .yells and howls, oc- casioned by some hungry woodchuck that has come for a nocturnal visit to the cabbage patch and met with a warm reception from your dogs. The woodchuck usually gets away appar- ently unharmed, while the dogs are left to nurse tLeir scratched noses and fore pa ws. The woodchuck. ip fact, has plenty of courage and will always fight in preference to running away. r Throughout the summer this little wood pig. ..ispends most of his time in the vicinity of his burrow, coming out early in the morning to take his break fast. returning to his nest for morn ing nap, appearing again at noon and late in the aftefnoon for his dinner and supper, only to return again for an other snooze. Occasionally he makes a visit td some neighboring orchard or garden. By Oct, l, when he is sat. he retires into his .subterranean home for a long sleep, until. as we are led to be deye, the proverbial ground hog" day. County Life In America. @-

Spiders.

Spiders are not insects, as most peo pie think. The spider has eight legs, whereas an insect cannot have more than six. The nervous system is con structed on totally different basis. and so are the circulation and respira- tion- The eyes are different, the in- sects having many compound eyes and the spider never having more than eight and all of them simple. Then q spider has no separate head, the head and the thOrax being fused together.

An intimate friend of President Grant said to him one day, General, my little boy has heard that all great men write poor hands. but he says he believes you are a great man in spite of the fact that you write your sigma ture so plainly that anybody can read It.
 The president took a card from his pocket, wrote his name on it and hand cd it to him.

In this country swans are but little seen. except in public parks. but they are coming into increasing favor on private estates. as they give the finish ing touch to an orhamedtai sheet of water.

@HE Master Woodsman suddenly
rose, with knitted brows
''There is strange presence
in the Forest" he declared. Then the
Queen and her nymphs turned and
saw standing before them Necile, with
the sleeping infant clasped in her arms
and defiant look in her eyes.
And thus for moment they remain
ed the nymphs filed with surprise and
CONSERVATION, but the brow Of the
Master Woodsman gradually clearing
as he gazed intently upon the beautiful
immortal who had willfully broken the
Law. Then the great Ak. to the won.
der of all, laid his hand softly upon
Needles flowing locks and kissed her
on her fair forehead
''For the first time within my knowl-
edge" said he gently, ::a nymph has
defied me and my laws, yet in my
heart can I find no word of Gliding
What is your desire, Necile?"
"Let me keep the child she answer
ed, beginning to tremba and falling on
her knees in supplication.
Here, in the Forest Of BurZee
where the human race has never yet
penetrated" questioned Ak.
Here, in the Forest Of BurZee," re
piled the nymph boldly 1T is my
home, and an weary for lack Of oc-
cuDation. Let me care for the babe!
See how weak and helpless it is. Sure
~ it cannot harm BuTzee nor the Mas
ter Woodslnan Of the World"
But the Law, child, the Laww cried
Ak sternly. ... .-....
'The Law is made by the Master
Woodsman,' returned Necile. "If he
bids me care for the babe he himself
has saved from death. who in all~the
world dare oppose me?' Queen Fur
line, who had listened intently to this
conversation, clapped her pretty hands
gleefully at the nymph's answer
you are fairly trapped, O Ak" she
exclaimed, laughing. "Now, I pray
you, give heed to Needles petition

relaxed the Law so it shall be the last
time. Nevermore. to the end Of tbs

an immortal; otherwise would we
abandon our happy existence for one
of trouble and anxiety. Good night"

and Necile hurried away to her bower

are drawn through the little veins in
the roots and tie body of the plants
as they reach maturity. The Ryls are
busy people, for their flowers bloom
and fade continually, but they are
merry and light hearted and are very
popular with the other immortals.
Next came tie KNOCKS, whose duty it
Is to watch over the beasts of the
world. both gentle and wild. The
Anooks have a hard time of it, since
many OF the beasts are ungovernable
and rebel against restraint. But they
Know how to manage them, after all,
and yo1 will find that certain laws Of
the KNOCKS are obeyed by even the
most ferocious animals. Their anx-
1et!es make the Knocks look old and
worn and crooked, and their natures
are bit rough from associating with
Wild creatures continually, vet they
are most useful to humanity and to the
world i'll general, as their laws are the
only laws the forest beasts recognize
except those Of the Master Woodsman.
Then there We're the Fairies, the
guardians Of mankind, who We're much
interested in the adoption of Claus be-
cause their own laws forbade them to
become familiar with their human
| charges. There are instances on rec
ord where the Fairies have shown
themselves to human beings. and have
even conversed with them, but they are
supposed to guard the lives of man
kind unseen and unknown, and if they
favor some people more than others
1t is because these have won such dis
tlnctlOn fairly, as the Fairies are very
Just and impartial But the idea Of
| adopting a child Of men had never oc-
Cured to them because it was in every
way opposed to their laws. so their
curiosity was intense to behold the lit
tie stranger adopted by Necile and her
sister nymphs.
Claus looked upon the immortals
who thronged around him with fear
less eyes and smiling lips. He rode
laughingly upon the shoulders OF the
merry Ryls; he mischieyously pulled
the gray boards of the low browed
KNOCKS; he rested his curly head con-
fi0ently' upon the dainty bosom Of the
Fairy Queen herself. And the Ryls
loved the sound of his laughter; the
KNOCKS loved his courage; the Fairies
loved his innocence
The boy made friends Of them ak
and learned to know their laws init
mately. No forest flower was tram
pied beneath: his feet lest the friendly
Kyls should be grieved He never in
terfcred with the beasts of the forest
lest his friends the Knocks should be-
come angry. The Fairies he loved
dearly. but. knowing nothing of man
kind. he could not understand that he
was the only one of his race admitted
to friendly intercourse with them.
Indeed Claus came to consider that
