VICIOUS CALIFORNIA BLACKBIRD

Thousands of savage blackbirds in- fest the city, and in some of the sub urbs they are so bold and vicious that dogs are kept on the jump avoiding them. men on bicycles are sometimes chased for blocks and pedestrians pecked on the heads if they happen under trees where there are nests. The birds usually fight in pairs.
 If a man with very white hat comes along they swoop down. beat 1t with their wings and claw at 1t with the rage of wounded eagles. Ere ouently they aim their sharp peaks at the victims eyes and he has diffi- culty in defending himself. The painful yelping of cornered canines attracts hocks of the birds and then the fur fies.--Los Angeles correspond ent to San Francisco Chronicle.

As general rule 1t Is safest at first for vocal students to exercise the voice between and c, the middle tones This strengthens the vocal organs without danger of straining them Step by step the higher tones may be added and thus they develop without forcing, Any vocal exercise whatever that causes hoarseness or throat-acho is perniclous, and under no circum- stances should the voice be used in singing if ls.ryngeal trouble of any kind exists. n-conformity to these common sense measures Is invariably harmful and may result In irrepara- ble Injury to the voice,

FOREST OF STONE IN AUSTRALIA

In Albany, In Australia, Is to be seen a stone forest, in other words, petrihed trees. The trees are of a gray stone.
 It Is suggested as an explanation of the strange phenomenon that in the depths of past ages the forest was in full vegetation and then through some upheaval of the earth 1t was buried in sand. Little by little wa ter acting on the stand penetrated the branches and soldlhed
 The wood gradually disappeared under the layer of stone and in time took its form Then In succeeding years the winds again carried away the sand, and the forest appeared anew, but of stone. London Globe.

OLD-FASHIONED ROSES

Judging from appearances one would think that the gorgeous descrip- tions in the catalogues. and the far ing pictures aid voluble explanations of the nursery agents had turned pop ular attention to the much vaunted novelties in roses and away from the tried and established favorites of former years, but we think it Is much like tho fad for new books 10 the det- riment of old standards. Before long few only of the later productions will be retained in favor, while the old favorites will still be pre-eminent There are 90 many of the old roses that are still up to the highest stand ard of perfection that complete list would be too extended, so we will con- fine the selection to a few of which we have personal knowledge and . long and favorable acquaintance.
 A class of roses that has almost dropped from the public gaze Is the Hybrid China. Although they flower only in June the result Is so superbly satisfactory that many of the so-called perpetual varieties are not to be com pared with them. take for instance. Paul Verdier with Its globular bright carmine flowers. its sturdy growth. large clean foliage, extreme hardness and exquisite fragrance, or Charles Lamson with the enormous pink flow CTS and wonderful profusion of bloom, as a pillar rose 1t is superb, then Mime. Trotter with the mass of brilliant cherry red flowers and won derfully attractive foliage, or Mime. Lamoriciere, violet pink shade, but almost with distilled rose essence in the petals, for white variety we have nothing yet approaching Mime. Plantier as n plant for ceme- tery decoration. 1t is the most useful The Hybrid China class can be truly called perfectly hardy. no covering of any sort being neces- sary. Among tho older kinds of the ! Hybrid Perpetual class though the term perpetual Is almost misnomer, as they require iudicious pruning and careful attention to produce a crop of second rate blooms in the autumn) we would specially mention Pierre l Noting, Prince do Rohan, Caroline de Sangal, La Reine, Mme. Luizet, Abel Carriere, Fisher Holmes and An ma de Desbach. Many of the true everblooming roses with little protection are perfectly hardy, though the buds are small and often bloom in clusters, with good soil they thrive | wonderfully under continuous cutting and when placed in vases with gener- ous stems the small bubs often ex- pand in the house. To speak of few of the old useful favorites we have Adam, Duchesse de Brahant, Agrip- pima, Hermusa, Appoline Souv d' Un Ami, Mime, Bosanquet. Mme. Cecile Brunner and the two grand old varie- ties, Souv, de Nal maison and La France. How seldom do we now see the old Daily China rose, sometimes called Pink Daily, though not large flower and without fragrance 1t pre- sents in June mass of flowers and continuous the good work till frost
 It may not be generally known that many of the varieties here men. toned were cultivated in New IIa. ven over forty years ago, and we
 have in mind some plants that arc still the same piece with only moder
 ate cultivation and absolutely no GOV

A very clever Idea of finishing the rough seams of lingerie Is to button hole them instead of making the or dlnary clumsy French seams. The stitches may be placed not too close together, so that It takes very little more time, and 1t Is a far more ser vceable way of finishing off the wrong side of seams. This Idea may be car red out in making up lingerie hats, for where there Is seam 1t must be arranged so that no rough edges pro trude. The Idea may also be used on a sheer muslin dress.
