The Hamming Bird at Heme.
Cozily sitting in the very tiniest little nest, so soft and elastic that even her delicate plumage is unruffled by contact with its moss-covered sides, we find our humming bird. High on the gnarled and twisted branch of a dogwood she has built this fairy home, and therein, with the overhanging leaves for a canopy, the little sylph is brooding. How shall I describe the cunning little structure? Soft puffs from the blossoms of oak and chestnut, pits of the softest brown fungus and scraps of gray mosses, that grow in secret places known only to these little fairies, were worked into the walls, and gradually the little cup-like house approached completion. Little flakes of lichen and bark, veritable diminutive clapboards, were next added, and the task was finished. There it rests, its mossy covering harmonizing so well with the tree bark as to conceal it from all but the closest observer, and often, though knowing its location so well, I have missed it for an instant, so cunningly is it placed. A dead twig projects from the branch a few inches to one side, and here the little wood sprites frequently perch. There is the male now, his ruby throat all ablaze as a sunbeam covers him for an instant with gold. See him edge up to his little darling! And now as he snuggles close beside her he is evidently telling her where her breakfast is waiting in the trumpet flower he tapped for her last nignt, and which is half filled with nectar this morning, accumulated drop by drop during the cool hours of darkness,. Like a flash she is off, and he takes her place, to keep the chill from the tiny eggs. These frail little creatures have gradually become accustomed to my presence. At first they were nervous, and would cease work, while one or the other would dart down to within five or six feet of me, and there, poised on its whirring wings, closely inspect the intruder, uttering the while sundry peeps and curious little cries. Now that they are convinced that no harm is intended they do not even leave the nest at my approach. What a dream life is theirs! Gliding in zigzag lines over the flower beds, now suspended almost motionless over a lily bloom, now racing with the bumble-bees for a honeyed prize, or dashing at the sparrows or robbins, and speedily putting them to flight with the fury of their onset. What they do or where they go when it storms I do ndffknow; but at the first returning gleam of sunshine they are back again, ..with the rapidity of thought, sipping the rain drops from the flowers. And when bedtime comes what wonderful stories of the sunlight the little things must tell each other, as cuddling close up there in the dark they listen to the croon! croon! croon! of the insects, and watch the fireflies guiding the moths among the trees by the light of their torches. —Forest and Stream.
Normandy.
Ancient Normandy occupied the northwest part of France, bounded north and west by the waters of the English Channel. It received the name Normandy in the tenth century from the Northmen who had occupied the country. Charles the Simple, King of France, in 912 sanctioned their conquest of the province, and gave their chief, Kollo, the title of Duke of Normandy. The new duchy soon came* to be one of the most prosperous provinces of France. It was a level, fertile country, producing grain, tiax, and fruit in abundance, and an excellent breed of horses, and with a number of bays and rivers abounding in fish. These characteristics it still possesses, and it is to-day as it was 809 years ago, one of the garden spots of France. The beautiful garden was often laid waste, however, by the struggles of rival countries to possess it. The son of Robert the Devil, the sixth successor from the first Duke Kollo, became in 1066 the conqueror and first Norman King of England. On his death, England and Normandy were separated, William’s eldest son, Robert, taking the latter country, and his second son, William Rufus, the former. Henry 1., the next King of England, ruled over both countries, but his daughter Matilda was only Duchess of Normandy. Henry 11. united the two again, and the union lasted till the time of King John, who was forced to forfeit Normandy to France. It was twice held again by the English, first under Edward 111. and again under Henrys W. and YL Charles VIL of France finally rescued the province, and from his time it has been an integral part >of France. The title -of Duke of Normandy has since then been occasionally used, but the province was divided in 1790 into five departments, and is now separately known only by tlte names of these departments.— lnter Ocean.
The Skull of Wirz.
Washington (D. C.) letter io Philadelphia Times: There was a lull in the game. One of the players had just captured a large jack-pot, when a proposition for refreshments took five hungry men away from their pleasant occupation for a few moments. Lunch finished, four of the players seated themselves. The absent man for the moment was an eminent physician, at whose house the pastime was going on. When the doctor returned to his place at the table he bore in his hand a skull. Why he should interrupt the festivities with this ghastly reminder of every man’s end puzzled all of the gentlemen present. The surgeon answered the curious look of inquiry upon each man’s face by saying: “This is the skull of Wirz, the keeper of Andersonville Prison, who was hanged within sight of my house. When
myself and associates performed the autopsy we skillfully removed this skull from the flesh, carefully filled the cranium with hemp, drew the hair and scalp over it, and the remains of Mr. Wirz were taken to the graveyard.” The doctor spoke eloquently of the different points of the skull, then quietly put it away and the game went on. He is dead now, and the skull of Wirz which he had has passed into the hands of one of the other men who sat about the table the night when it was first displayed and its singular history related.
There is Trouble in Store
For those who neglect to rectify Irregularities of the stomach, liver and bowels, which they foolishly imagine will “come right of themselves." Of this' silly error such persons are usually disabused by the development of some serious chronic malady, traceable to what they were pleased to consider a trifling disorder of the above-named associate organs. Such a! culmination is easily avoided. A course of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters invariably has the effect of renewing the secretive action of a torpid liver, restoring healthy digestion and assimilation, and rendering the habit of body perfectly regular. The activity of these all important functions being restored, and the entire system toned and regulated by this incomparable corrective and invlgorant, no danger to the general health is to be apprehended from causes which, if not eradicated in time, will assuredly undermine it.
About Walking.
Every healthy person, man or woman, should be a good walker, able at any time to walk six to twelve miles a day at least, and double that when gradually brought up to it. The points to be attended to are to see that the walk be brisk and vigorous, not of a loitering or dangling kind; that there be some object in the walk besides it being a routine constitutional (i. e. not like the staid promenade of the orthodox ladies’ school), and, if possible, in pleasant company; that there be no tight clothing, whether for the feet or the body, which will constrain or impede the natural movements of the limbs and trunk; and that the walk be taken as far as possible in the fresh country air. In regard to the later particular, although towns are increasing so rapidly as to make it almost a journey to get out of them on foot, still we have so many suburban tramways and railway lines that in a few minutes we can find ourselves in the country, where the air is fresh and pure. Whenever an opportunity presents itself for a little climbing in the course of a walk, it should be taken advantage of. We gain variety of muscular action, as well as inciease the exertion, and we get into regions of purer air and fresher breeze at the same time.
What may be considered as the weak point in walking as a mode of exercise is the comparatively small play v. hich it gives to the muscles of the shoulders and chest, while it is still less for those of the arm. This should be compensated for by the use of light dumb bells or Indian clubs, or some other form of exercise which brings in play the arms and shoulders. One of the forms of exercise which requires the action of the muscles of the arms and shoulders, as well as those of the trunk and legs, is swimming. This, however, for many reasons, cannot be used as a means of exercise except by a few, and at certain seasons of the year, but where possible it should always be practiced. The great pity is that boys and girls do not learn it, as a rule, while at school. Every large town should be -well provided with swimming baths, and if it could be made compulsory for scholars at a certain age, say 12, to learn to swim, it would be a great advantage to all, and also be the means of saving many lives.— Herald of Health.
Animals of different species can get along together in the same pen with some approach to harmony, but the oldest man living never saw a crowd of boys play marbles together without a row.

Spring and Summer Diet.
Green fruit and bad vegetables, which are particularly plentiful at this season of the -year, almost invariably disorder tho storrach and superinduce cramps, cholera morbus, and what Is worse, diarrhea and chronic dysentery. People who desire to preserve their health should be exceedingly careful about their diet at this season, and at no time should they be without a supply of Perry Davis’ Pain Killer, the safest, surest, and speediest remedy for all troubles of the stomach or bowels. All druggists sell it.

How to Breathe.
One of Philadelphia’s leading physicians, a specialist in diseases of the lungs, says that imperfect respiration is at the bottom of much trouble. In such a case he shows the patient how to swell out the whole chest full and round by a deep inspiration, elevating and throwing back the shoulders; and then, when he has gotten into his lungs the last atom of air possible, to hold it in tightly for a little, and then let it off slowly, blowing out every atom of it if he possibly can by forcible expiration, drawing the shoulders forward and pressing in the chest to the smallest possible compass, thus throwing out almost all of the residual air, and all this through the nose, with- mouth tightly closed. “Let him take a half dozen or taore such forced respirations a dozen times a day,” says the doctor, “and he will soon double his vital capacity and relieve himself of most of his supposed chest trouble. Such forced respiration will compel every air cell possible to freely admit wholesome air into the little spaces and to expel it also, and some air cells that do not often perform their functions healthily will be compelled to do so.”
The Three-Horned Ox.
Dr. A. T. de Kochebrune has described to the Paris Academy of Sciences a well-established variety of domestic ox, which is peculiar to Senegambia, and is characterized by a third horn growing from the nose and identical in constitution and development with the two frontal horns. The animals are very liable to epizootic peripneumonia, • and from time immemorial the Moors Fulalis of Senegambia have practiced upon the creatures preventive inoculation with the virus of that disease. Thekf, is one good thing about a Scotchman. He never makes a pun.
Life in the Paris Sewers
is possible, for a short time, to the robust, but the malority of refined persons wohld prefer immediate death to existence in their reeking atmosphere. How much more revoifing to be in one’s self a Uviuy sewer. But this is actually the case with those in whom the inactivity of the liver drives the refuse matter of the body to escape through the lungs, breath, the pores, kidneys, and bladder. It is astonishing that life remains in such a dwelling. Dr. Pierce's “Golden Medical Discovery” restores normal purity to the system and renews the whole being. Of corset is tight lacing that gives some women such a stayed appearance. “Her face so fair, as flesh it seemed not. But heavenly portrait of bright angel’s hue. Clear as the sky, without a blame or blot, Through goodly mixture of complexions due, And in her cheeks the vermeil red did show.” This is the poet's description of a woman whose physical system was in a perfectly sound and healthy state, with every function a .ting properly, and is the enviable condition of its fair patrons produced by Dr. Pierce’s “Favorite Prescription.” Any druggist.

Cucumbers.
The cucumber is a peaceful-louking vegetable, but has been the cause of a vast amount of intestinal horror.

But even for the'colic and cramps which the mischievous cucumber brlngson, speedy and certain relief is found in Perry Davis' Pain Killer.

The Exquisite Pleasures Afforded by Family Reunions. In this broad land, teeming with ft wealth of natural resources and advantages, there is a Inmentable tendency for families to become widely separated as its members arrive at maturity. It frequently occurs that a mother must travel a thousand miles or more in order to visit her several children and their families. The exquisite pleasure afforded by a family reunion is, alas! too seldom enjoyed. Not always is it convenient for sons and daughters to leave their homes and little ones to gather around the old hearthstone. Would that the custom could more frequently be indulged in. On many occasions illness in the family is a restraining cause. Too often the monster disease enters au otherwise happy home, despoiling a parent, afflicting a child. Our duty to ourselves and to our little ones demands that we make good health the one grand study and object of our lives. A terrible master is disease, insatiable and unrelenting. At first with deceptive, alluring ways he gains a foothold, while his victim murmurs u it in nothing only a little pain, only a feeling of wearineas, only a alight disorder," un- , til eventually disease assumes complete control. Fight tho monster in the start! meet him at his first approach!! by using L»R. GUYbOTTS YELLOW DOCK AND SARSAPARILLA. It will make you feel fresh, the blood will be made pure and circulate with more vim. Sores and pimples will disappear, the urinary and digestive organs will gnin strength, and perform their functions without paiib while robust health, strength, freedom from aches, etc., and happy content be the result, and longevity your reward.
