a Robin and a Rat.

The other day. while gentleman
of Porthollow, St Keverne, was walk
ing past a farm in the neighborhood,
he was attracted by a robin, which
flew about him, tapped its wings in
his face some two or three times and
appeared greatly excited and dis
tressed. The gentleman's curiosity
being aroused, he watched the robin
for some time. II few towards him
and then back into the hedge a short
distance away, uttering apparently
cries of distress all the time. The
gentleman walked toward the hedge
where the bird seemed to wish him to
come, and creeping up close he dis
covered a medium sized rat, which
had got into the robins nest and was
devouring one of the little young
birds. At the sight OF the gentleman
the rat jumped out and was knocked
senseless on the road. When the robin
saw the rat lying on the road she flew
at II and pecked it viciously. The rat
was killed and thrown over the hedge
into the field, and as the gentleman
walked away the robin seemed to
chirp him her thanks. There were
four young birds in the nest. One was
killed, but the other three were free
from injury.--London Globe.

man to have his hair cut properly. In

IN A MARRIAGE MARKET.
Odd Custom in a Prominent Russian
Mart for Wives.

Perhaps the best known OF these
Russians marriage markets is the one
that takes place annually at Klui, near
Moscow, and which has just been held
with tho usual success. 1t occurs dur.
ing tho week OF Epiphany CRussian
style), and all the young women that
wish to get married in the course OF
the year are mustered in n long row
in the principal streets Of that large and
struggling country town. In order to
make themselves attractive to the
young men who come to see and ad-
miro them they wear nearly all their
belongings on their backs. Their fin.
cry does not consist only of their best
clothes, but It includes lot of old
family trinkets, sometimes valuable
scarfs, cloaks and furs, heavy silver
jewelry and necklaces jackets showing
rows of prettily ciselated or filigree
silver buttons, and many OF the girls
bring even their linen and other do
mestic property along with them in
gaudily painted chests and trunks, sit
ting on them like dragons watching a
treasure.
After exposing themselves for
hours to the close scrutiny OF the
would-be benedicts the girls march off
in a procession to church. there to per.

Strange Food for Humans.

According to a writer in the Scien-
tific American, perhaps the most sim
gular food for human beings is the
larvae Of a fly which is common in
parts Of California. This insect is
found in such vast quantities in Lake
Mono that it is washed upon the shores
in vast windrows and can be collected
by bushels. The water of Mono is
very singular, seemingly heavy and
smooth like oil: so much so that it
resists ordinary wind and refuses to
become rufIied. When the larvae be-
gin to appear Indians gather from far
and near and scrape them up, place
the wormlike creatures on cloths and
racks in the sun and dry them. when
they are beaten up and husked, look
ing then like rice. The Indians call
the food kooh.chah-bee," and many
bushels are collected at this time.
That larvae are nutritious is shown
by the condition of the Indians. who
soon grow fat on the rich diet.

The Marian Canals"

After experimenting on the cracks
and assures that appear in cylinders
and spheres subjected to pressure M.
A. Baumann, an engineer of Zurich,
Switzerland, has proposed the follow
ing explanation of the markings on the
planet Mars, ordinarily known as
canals" Says the Revue Scientifique
in notice of NJ. Baumann's hypoth-
esis Mars may have a brittle, solid
crust, with a more drastic nucleus,
this difference of rigidity, depending
simply on differences of temperature
in the varios strata. When the planet
cools contraction takes place, and the
outer layers yields little by little to
the pressure. In places where the
pressure is greatest, cracks-always
double, as shown by NJ. Baumann in
his experiments-appe II is pos
sible that afterwards. by the interven-
tion of living beings, the edges Of
these cracks may have been removed,
so as to form canals. But the same
result may follow from the progress
sive enlargement of small assures.
Tho rectilinear canals indicate
homogeneous constitution of soil. Fin
ally, the outer crust, now solid, may
have remained long in plastic state,
which would have prevented the form

NEW LINCOLN PORTRAIT.
That Of an English Artist Recently
Brought to Light.

There has Just been resurrected
from some out-of-the.way place in the
Capitol an excellent portrait of Pres.
ident Lincoln, which for fifteen years
has lain hidden away from general
knowledge. 1t is a full length, life
size painting and has a somewhat
remarkable history. 1t was painted
by one w. f. Travis, an Englishman,
who, as the story goes, came to this
country during the war, with tie
hope of joining the Union forces. He
was, however, somewhat crippled.
and was refused admission to the
army because of his physical disa.
bility.
He then turned his attention to
painting and sought a sitting from
President Lincoln, but could not OBJ
tain an audience. Finally he was for.
tunate enough to meet the President
in the street. and begged sitting. The
President said he had no time to
grant sittings, but finally consented to
one OF fifteen minutes duration. Dur
ing that time Travis SO interested the
President that he secured other sit
tings and eventually completed por-
trait, which Senator Hoar and others
pronounce the finest likeness of Lin.
coin ever made. Travis was unable to
sell his picture and took 1t back to
England, where it was afterward
bought by man named Webster, who
was at the time Register of Wills OF
the District Of Columbia. Webster
brought the portrait to the Centennial
Exposition, and il Is related that
when Mrs. Lincoln came upon 1t sud
denly the likeness was so striking
that she tainted. The picture was pur.
chased from Webster's heirs.
Perhaps the most striking feature
OF the portrait aside from the great
likeness, is the infinite sadness which
is shown on the countenance. The
detail is also perfectly worked out.
Lincoln Is shown standing by chair,
on which rests his hat. into which he
has carelessly thrown one glove, the
other having dropped to the floor. In
the Presidents hand, which rests on
a small desk, is a document which
bears the title. Constitutional
Amendment Abolishing Slavery
Throughout the Nation" Above the
desk is picture Of Washington cross

desk is a small bust of Washington

Do Small Houses Diminish Heads.

London.-Do small buildings cause
small heads, and do small heads mean
short lives?
Doctor Warner, who has examined
100000 London children, traces a con-
nection between physical degeneracy
and small buildings.
zone of the signs of physical de-
teroration" said Doctor Warner, "is
that heads are growing smaller. and
especially in the cases of females.
This form of degeneracy is very near
ly connected with the erection of high
buildings. When we come to look at
The condition of children in districts
where the residences are of a great
heights and size we find larger pro
portion of small heads.
'Small4headed children are not con
fined to the poorer classes, On the
contrary, 1t is quite as marked among
children of the wealthy. They are all
bound TO die sooner than they nor
mally should. They are not necessar-
ly unintelligent, but they have not
the necessary strength for long life."
