Among the late books gotten out by
the Z. NJ. Clark Pub. Co, of Boston,
there is one that will warm the heart of
a true Observation-Disclosures is a
wholesome, simple tale of the kind that
we all like to read, combining the quaint
ness of the old-fashioned New Highlander
with his innate nobility, rugged honesty
so characteristic of the denizen of the
old Green Mountain State. No one can
appreciate better than Vermonter the
clever descriptions of the messy hooks
and shady dells portrayed in this story.
The characters are drawn so true to life,
the pretty love story so nicely told, the
vivid descriptions of the stirring days
of the Rebellion, bringing home to all
the vicissitudes of the dark days of the
great struggle,-all go to make up re.
freshing tale. The author, Herbert Ed.
ward Bogue, has told a pretty story in
fine, simple style, and will, no doubt
reap substantial reward for his work.

The Queer Parson Bird.

Two splendid male specimens of the
poe honrey eater were recently &C
quired by the Geological society. Its
throat is adorned with small white
feathers, which, from their resem-
blance to clerical bands, have gained
for it the name "parson bird" It's
metallic green plumage, with bronze
and purplish reflections, is very beau
Sifu9 Its long and rather slender
beak is curved; it has rather large
feet, and the length of it's tail is con-
siderable.
Although somewhat rarely seen in
this country alive, this bird is plenti-
full on both the north and south
islands of New Zealand; it is a good
songster and mimic, and its lively
temperament renders it most inter
esting cage bird It's food consists of
berries, insects and honey. 1t has an
extensive tongue, the tip of which is
forkcd, and, being covered with
fibers, forms a kind of brush, most

A New Jersey farm laborer went

ping and when he emerged from a
store his team had disappeared. No
one had been the driverless horses go,
and it was thought they had been
stolen. The man walked home and
discovered the house dog was also
missing. Some days later the dog re.
turned to the farm, got some food and
drink and started away, barking fu-
tiously. He was followed, and in a
piece of the woods several miles away
the team was discovered. The horses
had wedged the wagon between two
trees and there they had stood five
days without food or drink. They had
gnawed the bark from the trees.

STORY OF SOUTH SEA SHARK.

He Swallows an Alarm Clock With
Most Unusual Results.
while cruising among the South Sea
islands thirty-odd years ago in our
private yacht, the Haute Flyer, we
were much annoyed by large Irish
setter shark that persisted in follow
ing the ship. During the night the
shark would often climb up on deck
and tip over the garbage can. At one
time Henry Williams, a sailor before
the mast, was bitten on the leg ny the
brute. He aimed kick at the shark,
which growled, showed his teeth and
sunk his fangs in Williams limb be-
fore leaping over the rail into the
sea.
One day the cook, annoyed at his
alarm clock-which persisted in going
off furiously at all hours of the night
threw the timepiece overheard. The
shark, always on hand for dainty It'd
bits from the galley took the time Of
day at one gulp. For two days after
that we heard the clock going off in a
muffied way from the interior of the
surprised shark, who was often seen
with one fin on his head and the other
on the pit of his stomach, evidently
trying to diagnose his clock case.
We were standing on the stern OF
the ship one evening watching the
shark, who was evidently feeling pref
ty sick. Suddenly the clock went off
on him and the sailors, counting the
strokes, noticed that it struck twenty
three. When the shark heard this he
turned UP and died before our eyes,

CURING a SICK RHINocERos.
Rheumatic Animal Moved to Better
Quarters Soon Beuins to Mend,

quarters Soon Begins to Mend.
Smiles was homely, bad temper
ed, two-horned bull rhinocercs, long as
halt-grown elephant, with agile legs
thicker than fence posts, a hide tough
er than sole leather, pair of tiny eyes
ever shifting restlessly in their hide
ously homely sockets. To this day not
a beast in the entire menagerie is
more vicious than Smiles" With fe-
roclousness born of sheer stupidity,
ne charges his keeper with the speed
OF lightning and tries to rip him open
with an upward root of the wicked
e1ghteen-inch horn fastened to the TOP
of his nose.
Time was, however, when Smiles"
was harmless. Rheumatism, one OF
the scourges of the pachyderms, had
crippled him. His legs were bent and
twisted under him and he lay helpless
like sick sheep. For weeks he was
unable to turn from the side on which
he had fallen. Rats had built nests
under him and were gnawing through
his skin. Medicines were mixed with
his food and liniments were rubbed
into him, but these seemed worse than
useless, and it looked as if the rare
captive must die, when new director
was appointed to the menagerie.
The new man examined the brute'<
quarters. The floor was of cement and
damp. Light came to the little stall
through a single small window. Ven
tilation there was none. The new di
rector issued an order. Half a hun
dred men lifted and heaved and tug
ged and pushed and pulled until the
ugly creature, unable to vent his rage
except in grunts, was loaded upon 3
low wagon and transported to a spa
cious, dry, light and well ventilated
stall in the elephant house.
For two weeks the giant pig lay here
nibbling at food and showing renewed
interest in life. At the end of month
he staggered weakly to his feet, his
red eyes beginning to twinkle danger
ously. Within another month he was
cured and as vicious as ever.-Mc

WAYS Of the Ethiopian Detective.

The Ethiopian method of detecting
crime is quick and effective and has
the great advantage of always catch
ing some one. A priest is called and
by his exhortation, prayers, sorceries
and drugs-a youth is sent to sleep
with the command to dream. The per-
son he dreams of is the criminal. No
further proof is sought or needed. The
sanction of the church is quite enough.
If by chance the boy fails to dream he
is promptly put to sleep again by the
same process until he does, so that
he usually manages the affair in
short time.
