DIED.

A~S~~~~S
 Stafford Springs, 17th, Mrs. Harriet A. Hyde, 7S. We little dreamed, that Sabbath morn, Whose holy rays around us fell, That she whose face we loved so well Had passed the silent shadow-bourne. We wist not that her kindly heart And willing hands at last were still, Nor more with gentleness would fill The measure of affections art. Loye's fadeless livery she wore, And knew the ministry of grief, Bringing to others sweet relief For wounds whose scars her memory
 bore.
 Mourn not for her yet falling tears Must speak the mourners' requiem, And sorrow weave her diadem Der those the sorrowing heart reveres. She sleeps; the angels gently oped The heavenly portals, and her feet Passed over where the blessed greet The souls that in their Lord have hoped.
 HARRY w. BUGBEE. At regular meeting of Wauseon Lodge of Odd FelIOws the following resolutions were adopted :
 Whereas it has pleased God in his inf, nite wisdom to move from our Lodge, our worthy brother, Oscar Meyers, Resolved That In the death of brother Meyers this Lodge loses a worthy brother and exemplary cltizen.
 Resolved That copy of these resolu tions be sent to the widow of the deceased, a copy inserted in The Press, and that our charter Dc draped in mourning for . period of thirty days.

BIRDS OF PARADISE.

Their Dancing Parties and ArroWsa
 With Blunt Heads.
 Birds of paradise molu about Janu- ary. and In May, when they are in full aud gorgeous new plumage. the males assemble each morning for their danc- ing parties. Certain trees are selected, being chosen on account of widespread ing branches and scattered leaves. and In one of these trees from dozen to twenty of the birds will assemble. They raise their wings, stretch out their necks and elevate their exqui- site plumes. keeping them in conttn- uaI vibration. The birds hop or fly from branch to branch apparently in the greatest excitement, so that the tree appears to be seething with gold en orange plumes. The long. plumy tufts which are the pride of the bird of paradise spring from the sides be- meath each wing. and when the bird is in repose they are partly concealed. but during the dance the wings are raised vertically across the back, the head Is bent and stretched out. and the long plumes are expanded until they resemble two magnificent golden fans, striped with deep red at the base and fading off into a pale brown tint at the finely divided points.
 IL Is hard to determine just what is the motive of the dance of the birds of paradise. but the natives take ad- vantage of the occasion to secure speci- mems of the birds without injury to the feathers. As soon as 1t is found that the birds have fixed upon a par ticular tree for their dances a native builds a little hut or blind of palm branches among the leaves and here ensconces himself just before daylight armed with a bow and a number of arrows with a round knob upon the end. instead of a sharp point. A boy waits at the foot of the tree. and when the birds have assembled and begun their dance the hunter begins to shoot. The blow of the blunt arrow stuns a bird. which falls to the ground and Is secured by the waiting boy. not a drop of It's blood being shed and the plumage being uninjured. The other birds rarely take any notice of those that fall until their number has been considerably reduced. Harper's Week. ly.

source of great annoyance. At times
