WHEN ANIMALS WEEP.

Animals are said to weep from
various causes. Grief at the loss of
young ones and mates makes the dog,
horse, elephant, rat. bear, deer, mon
key, donkey, mule, cattle, camel and
giraffe shed tears. Sobbing has been
proved in the parrot, though this
may be mimicry. The stag at bay
and the Gagged rats have been seen to
weep, while monkeys have wept when
terror stricken. The elephant has
wept at the loss of it's liberty, and
in some cases also from vexation.
The dread of punishment has caused
captive chimpanzees and other apes
to weep. Joy, pain, fatigue. thirst,
ill-usage, sympathy, old age, ap-
preaching death and pettishness have
ali drawn tears from animals or at
least driven them to fearful state.

SEA SILK.

We are all getting quite used to
associating silk with an industrious
worm of most unprepossessing ap-
pearance; and many of us are even
reconciled to firm belief in certain
spiders which spin a beautiful gos-
samer of daintiest hue and texture,
which has been woven, even by the
spiders themselves, into caps and
other useful things. But what say
you and your young folks to an enter
prising shellfsh which, in it's watery
home among corals and flower-like
anemones deep down in the Mediter-
ranean, spins a silk just as fine in
texture and beautiful to the eye as
any one could wish to see? 1t would
not quite do to call this submarine
siIkmaker an an oystor, for it is not
exactly that, though it certainly is
first cousin to the pearl bearers;
neither may we call it a mussel, de-

shall have to call it then by its own
name, the one the scientists gave 1T,

at his uncle's table and in his uncle's
own wooden chair He had succeeded
to the business, apparently, as well as
the estate. Bundles Of papers were
laid on the table before him; they were
the papers connected with his uncle's
estate, now his own. For he had no
business of his own, and his uncle's
clients, if he had any left, had gone
elsewhere. In his own room James

a pint of stout, slept peacefully. The
offices of Uncle Joseph, deceased, had
become Castle of Indolence. Out

SOME ANIMALS IN WINTER.

The ptarmigan, member of the
grouse family, is in summer mottled
with black and a rich fluffy brown,
but in winter it becomes pure white.
The snowy owl, and the snow-bunt-
ings that come to us from the far
North, have whitish plumage that
blends harmoniously with the pre-
vailing whiteness of the landscape.
But perhaps the most interesting ex-
ample of all is the weasel, whose fur
in the summer has a peculiarly soft
shade of reddish-brown, but in the
winter is pure white, except at the
tip of the tail. 1t is probable that
this black point is useful to its owner
in diverting the attention of car
nivorous bird or of beast of prey,
as the black spot is more readily seen
than the white body of the animal. 1t
is said, too, that if the tip is covered
with snow the whole weasel becomes
clearly visible, and that if the first
snowfall is later than usual it is
claimed by some naturalists that the
color change is delayed accordingly.
The turning white takes place when
most needed-From Mature and

TREE PLANTING.

Results which may surprise many
practical horticulturists have been
obtained by scientific experiments on
the Woburn fruit farm in England.
1t has been observed that the less
a fruit tree is pruned the larger and
heavier it becomes, even when allow
ance is made for wood removed in
annual pruning of normal trees. The
fruit crops are also increased as the
amount of pruning is diminished.
The general conclusion is that the
less pruning the better, both as re;
CARDS growth and fruit. This applies,
however, only to healthy and estab-
lished trees. Transplanted, injured
and ailing :rees are benefited by
1runing.-Youth's Companion.

CHlDREN'S DEPARTMENT.

THE LAST DANCE OF THE LEAVES.
Rustling, rattling, dancing, chasing,
Sport of every autumn breeze,
Troops of leaves go madly racing
Up and down beneath the trees.
Red and brown and tan and yellow,
How they frolic to and fro:
Now drift, and now shallow,
Helter-skelter, off they go!
Great brown heaps the sidewalks cover,
Knee-deep ip them children wade;
Overhead bare branches hover,
Cold and gray and disarrayed.

Winter drear will soon be king;

Dance your fastest, widest fling!

KILLS EAGLE AFTER FIGHT.

The largest bald eagle seen iT
Berkshire for many years was killed
by James Bolger, of Peru, after ar
exciting struggle. AS he was sitting
reading he heard a commotion in the
barnyard. Looking out, he saw a
large eagle just rising from the
ground.
Grabbing his gun Bolger ran out
and took a shot at the bird. He
broke it's wing and brought it down
He attacked it with a. club, but found
he had no easy victory. The bird
fought savagely, and his hands were
lacerated, his face scratched, and his
clothing torn before he succeeded in
getting in blow which subdued the
eagle and enabled him to dispatch it.
He brought the bird to Pittsfield to-
day. and it measured eight feet from
tip to tip of wing.-Pittsfield (Mass.)

First Picking Conveniences.

pickers will finish the tree using lad.
ders sufficient to reach the top. In
young orchards step ladders eight to
ten feet high will, be most useful A
very convenient form of ladder is
shown in Fig. 3. The best, strongest
and lightest ladder for all kinds of or.
chard work, recommends Farm Jour.
nal, is made of Eastwood, with sides
one and a quarter by three and halt
inches, and hickory or oak rungs one
inch in diameter placed twelve inches
apart. The sides should be twelve
inches apart and the bottom spread
two feet helps greatly from tipping
over. Any ladder that must be
placed against a limb of tree for
support is to be avoided as it con.
stantly breaks twigs and bark, the
limbs allowing disease and rot to gain
a foothold. In placing ladder il
should be placed near the outer limbs
rather than near the trunk of the
tree where the picker must lean out
ward and be in constant danger OF
breaking limbs

1t Was Plain Enough.

A college professor, who recently
returned with his. wife from their
honeymoon, greatly amused a com.
pany of people in his home town, ac-
cording to the Lewiston Journal, by
assuring them, on being questioned
their trip, that nobody
where they spent their honeymoon
suspected that they were bride and
groom.
".What kind of place was this?'

"Au institution for the blind?"

A PASTORS MARVELLOUS ESCAPE

A PASTOR 5 MARVELLOUS ESCAFE
One of the most remarkable cases
Of escape from death occurred re-
Gently to the pastor of Methodist
church in New York. Sixteen months
ago, while on his, vacation in the
Adirondacks, he climbed on the roof
of his cottage to fix a shingle that
was loose. He put several lath nails
in his mouth while he worked, and
suddenly, in sharp intake OF breath,
one of them slipped down his throat.
In few days the throat became pain
full, and a doctor was summoned. The
pastor told him the incident of the
nail, but the doctor laughed at it.
He said the nail could not have gone
down, the pastor made a mis-
take, and his malady was simply
bronchitis. He treated him for that
affection and gave him some relief,
so that he could preach. But on his
return to New York the pastor con-
suited other doctors, as ne was hoarse
and had frequent attacks Of severe
coughing. None of them believed
that any foreign substance was in the
lung, but the hoarseness grew worse,
and the pastor at times could scarcely
get through his services. One Sun
day night recently, he was kieeling
in prayer, when the cough came on.
1t grew very violent, and was accom=
panied by sharp pain in the right
lung. After a few minutes the pas
tor perceived that the cough was
bringing up an obstruction, and in the
next paroxysm the nail swallowed
sixteen months before came to light.
His throat is still sore and lacer-
ated, but he is rapidly recovering.
The pastor thinks that his attitude
when the cough came On may have
contributed to the removal of the
nail. The doctors may be able to ex-
plain how that could be. AS a
clergyman he has frequent occasion
to remind his people that it is in that
attitude of reverent communion with
God that their spiritual as we'll as
their temporal troubles frequently
come to relief, and the distractions
which affect their spiritual life are
removed Herald.

IMPORTANCE OF BEEKEEI


At the late California convention
Mr.. Francis w. Blackford, in an es.
say on beekeeping, among other
facts, said that the annual value OF
honey in the United States is close
upon 100000; and the number
of colonies of bees kept by apiarists
equaled about one-fifth of the mum,
ber of sheep in the United States
This would place the number of col
onies of bees at 100000, which, at
an average value of only SO a colony
would represent an investment OF
$27,000,000 in bees alone. 1t seems
to us that if these figures are any
where near the truth, bee culture is
deserving of great ceal more recog-
milton than it is now receiving at the
hands of the national and State gov
rnments.-Weekly Witness.
