highly valued on account of the constant war

ed in the Cape Colony for shooting it.
1t fearlessH attacks the most venomous SER
pents, stunning them with blows of its wings:
The WINGS which are short, and provided
with long protuberances, are most destructive
weapons, and the bird uses them with much
skill to disable the serpents. On approaching
them, it carries forward the point of one of
its wings, in order to parry their venomous
bites, and waits till it finds opportunity to
spurn tread on its adversary, or take him
on its pnions and toss him up into the air.
When it has at last thus wearied him out, it
kills and devours him at leisure Small SER
pents are swallowed entire, the larger ones
torn to pieces.
The Secretary is most frequently seen in
pairs solitary. They pair about July. the
male bird having first engaged in sangulnary
conflict for the choice of his mate. Their
nest, which is fiat, and lined the inside
with down and feathers, is constructed in the
thickest bushes or on the loftiest trees, in
which two or three eggs of whitish hue,
spotted with red, are laid.
The young ones are very late in leaving
their nest, for they are slow in acquiring iull
development, it being nearly four months be-
fore they are able to stand firmly and run
about with complete freedom.
1t being easily tanned when taken young,
the colonists have made domestic bird OF 1T

c,iguer says that in 1882 the Secretary sg
Bird was introduced into the French West
Indies, particularly Guadaloupe and Marti
nique on purpose to make war upon the rat
tlesnakes, a dangerous reptile swarming IN
those countries.
The introduction of the Secretary into the
Antilles also proved to be a real benefit.
Here we have two birds that seem especially
endowed by our Heavenly Father to serve
man by consuming garbage, and devouring
creatures which, if left to increase too rapid
ly. would become terror to the inhabitants
Of those countries and yet such reptiles are
necessary in their turn to destroy other ver-
min And thus we find in nature perfect
law controlling all things.

Days passed, and we were just thinking oil
buying another dog for the stables when
Punch suddenly returned. l first knew of the
fact by finding on the dining-room floor some
Madeira vine roots which l had planted two
days before, and which Punch seemed to
think his bounden duty to unearth at once.
A friend came in the other day and said,
laughingy:
''I Just saw the funniest dog out here back
of your house-the ugliest dog you can inn
agine, and yet with such a comical, good-na-
tnfed look on his face that was drawn, to
him at once"
l was sure that it was our dog still, went
out to the stables to have him brought in.
AS he entered the room, our visitor again
laughed, this time so immoderately that poor
Punch looked at him in astonishment
Crossing over to me, he put his paws in my
lap, and looked up in my face, as il to say:
Mistress, what ails that man."
Henry was heard to say in the kitchen:
Folks were nightly out of job to send
for that poor fellow just to make fun of
him"
And added that, for his part, he didn't see
what allied Punch. He thought he was as
good-looking as any other dog.

Poor Punch shook back his shaggy locks
and looked from one to the other with a
puzzled air.

stables, he could see no reason why he should
not ornament the parlor with his presence,
if the door CHANGED to be open. He had, as
spring came on, great objection to my plant

bulbs, / charged Henry to keep Punch within
Two days later, being called to the parlor
to see visitor, discovered the bulbs, with
considerable earth attached to them, on my

latter, SO why he should be blamed for the
former he could not comprehend.
With all his odd, queer ways, we learned
to like Punch so much that all the household
was disturbed one fine morning by the news
from the stable that our dog was missing.
The children were deeply grieved, and all
If we had been kinder to Punch he
wouldn't have left us. We thought him ugly,

feelings"

At this, the baby's suggestion, the boys

and frequently not little ludicrous, for at
rest they either stand up on one leg, with
the neck, which is bare Of feathers, with
drawn, and the bill drawn toward the breast
in stupid sort of way, or else sit upon the
ground, with one or both legs directed
straight before them but when excited, they
elongate their necks, and stand at their full
height, menacing with their large bills, which,
however, are too light to inflict any serious
injury, even had the bird courage enough to
attempt it.

Doctor Latham, who resided in Smeathman,
gives an account of a young one brought up
and trained in that part of Africa He says:
"The bird always took its place at dinner
time in the great hall behind its masters
chair, where it remained in expectation of its
usual share in the meal. The servants had
some difficulty in protecting the dishes from
its attack previously to the arrival of the
guests They carried switches for the pur-
pose, but it would frequently watch its op-
portunity, and snatch some favorite morsel

assists the vultures in their avocation OF clear

species, rather smaller than the Indian AdJu-
tant, that the beautiful plumes known as
"Marabou feathers" and which grow under
its wings, are obtained; those imported INTO
Europe coming chiefly from Senegal, IN the
western part Of Africa where they are
plucked from the bird at the proper seasons.
1t is rather ungainly-loodng bird, stand
ing over five feet high, and measuring from
the tip of each outstretched wing not less
than fourteen feet. The head and neck are
nearly bare, the beak extremely large, long
and strong and under it hangs downy
pouch or bag like dew-lap, which is capaa
BILE of being inflated. The upper part of this
bird is of an ashy-grey color, the under part
white. 1t is not only an exceedingly greedy
creature, but manages to swallow at one
mouthfu rabbit, fowl, or even a small
leg of mutton; and when domesticated, It's

will of the people. In the large cities of Hin
dostan they are as tame as dogs, and clean
the streets of every kind of rubbish that lit
tiers them and at mealtime they never fail
to draw themselves up in line in front of the
barracks to eat the refuse thrown to them by
the soldiers. Their gluttony is so great that
they will swallow enormous bones.
At Calcutta and Shandernagore they are
protected by the law, which inflicts fine Of
ten guineas on any one killing Marabou.
In their wild state they live in companies
and when seen at distance near the mouths
of the rivers, coming toward an observer
which it is said they often do with outspread
wings-they may be taken for canoes upon
the surface of smooth sea, or, when on the
sand-banks, appear like men and women pick

ner, and so inclined to become familiar, tina,
there is little difficulty in tanning them.

THE CONTINUOUS RAINS.
Much Damage to Crops Of Cotton,
Corn and Hay-Prlce Of Cotton
Should Advance.

The continuous rains for the past
weeks have done considerable damage
to the cotton crop in this section, and
the storms i'll the west have injured
the crop in that part Of the country.
Summer Brothers received tele-
gram yesterday from business
friend i'll Memphis stating that the
rains for the past ten days had dam
aged the crop at least twenty-five
per cent and probably more. In many
places i'll this county where the weed
is ut all large the bolls are rottins.
Clear weather, however, for tho next
few weeks will enable the farmers to
save great deal of this cotton, ana
while the cotton crop is going to be
short, the greatest damage that the
farmers of this section are suffering
Is in the loss of their hay crop, and
the damage to the corn. If the dam
age to the cotton crop is general,
there will be compensation for the
farmer by the increase in price
which must inevitably come, but there
can be no compensation for the dam
age to his hay crop and his corn crop.
The indications now arc that the
rainy spell is over and that we will
have clear weather.
