THE EVERGLADES.

Vhat Peaceful Hasten Saw to the Florida Swamp. la Harper’s, A. W. Dimock writes of a recent visit to oae of the Islands mt the Everglades, where he went to study the many kinds of wild birds living Chare. No guns were fired, and the birds seeing that no harm was intended soon became tame: “Day after day we paddled our cum In the little sloughs around and through the rookery, and each day the birds grew tamer. The cam-era-man waded and climbed trees out peles and made long legs tor his camera, until he got the views he wanted of eggs and young birds, while the mother birds fussed around him and scolded at first, but sometimes oame back to their nests before, the work was finished. Nature worked dally miracles through these young birds. One day they were egg-ehaped pouchee of parchment, stuffed by their parents with lumps of dead fish, and infew hours, by processes so rapid as to be almost visible, they had converted the offensive mass into living flesh and feathers, and in a few days evolved form and beauty from a chaos of corruption. When the eamera-man wanted young birds that had graduated from their nests they had to be chased through the swamp and followed up the trees, and our hunter-boy went np the latter Uke a squirrel and slashed through mud and water like an oter, sometimes for a long distance, but he always brought back bis bird, even if he had to cross deep sloughs to get him. He taught the birds he caught to pose by petting them and putting them on the branches chosen by the camera-man, and when they scrambled away by catching them again, scolding them, stroking them. "The system never failed at the time, but when afterward we paddied among the nests, certain vociferous young birds scrambled in haste from their homes to the tops of the tallest trees, and curlew matrons croaked from their nests, “Johnny can't pose to-day; he isn’t feeling well.” Birds too young to get away were very friendly, and from many nests our approach was bailed with cries of welcome and mouths opened wide for the fish and frogs that often went with us. Mother birds, too, grew unfearful, and as we fed their babies looked on with complacency, if hot ifatitude. One snake-blrd, or water-turkey, which on our first call dropped from her nest Into the water in the clumsy fashion of her species, on our later visits merely stepped aside and viewed with approval our performance of her duty. Her two youngsters used to stand on the extreme edge of the nest, with wideopened bills extended for the delloacies we brought them, until one of them fell Into the water, and when we tried to rescue him, gave a full grown exhibition of the aquatic skill which was hit inheritance. That night he disappeared, and we thought we knew the hawk that got him but couldn’t afford to destroy with a gun the confidence of our feathered cronies, even to avenge one of them.”

EARLY VIRGINIAN MANSIONS

Argument Advanced That They Be Thrown Open to the Public. It has bean suggested that Several of the beautiful places ou the James River, such as “Westover,” “Shirley,” and “Powhattan,” be kept open for touriata and visitors. It is true, that these splendid relics of the past are private property and that it would seem to be invading the home -flft of people of refinement who would naturally resent such an lmpertinenoe; bat In England there are certain days when the famous country seats can be visited and the butler housekeeper, caretaker, or special servant goes around with the tourists and shows the pictures, the banquet hall, and the state chambers Virginia is still, after a lapse of a century and a half, more English in character than any part of the United States. The architecture of these grand old mansions is worthy the attention of the student, especially in these days of the renaissance es the Colonial style. They are perfect examples and possibly the only ones of that period. The Jamestown Exhibition hea been called one purely American and its purport la dear to the -heart el every true Virginian. Perhaps the owners of these historic places will arrange with some of the steamboat and steamship and railway companies tor “days” on which the estates can be visited. If a small fse waa charged, it could go either to maintaining the services of a lecturer and guide or to some charity, aa the owners would never avail themselves of nevenoe from suoh a source. There are yet standing a few old mansiosM in Maryland, and also along the picturesque Eastern shore, but only a few of the estates, such sa the famous Oaorrol manor approach in magnitude those famous homesteads on the James.—Town and Country.

SERVANTS WHO SMOKE.

A New Problem That Confronts the English Housekeeper. “Parlor maid wanted in small iamily. Abstainer and non-smoker,” was the somewhat startling advertisement which appeared recently in a London daily. Nowadays it is quite necessary, writes a correspondent of the London Tribune, for a mistress to inquire whether a maid is addicted to the cigarette craze, for the smoking habit has invaded the servant’s hall, and kitchen maids, cooks and upper house maids now openly adopt the cigarette consuming customs of their smart set sisters. The writer saw a well turned out nurse the other day In Hyde Park wheeling an expensive looking mail cart containing an elaborately dressed baby. The nurse was coquettishly smoking a cigarette and attracting considerable attention from the astonished passerby. At several registry offices inquiries show that the smoking habits of the domestic servant are a recognized fact.- In some families it is quite customary for parlor maid, housemaid and cook to enjoy their cigarettes in company below stairs. —That the working girl should take to smoking In Imitation of the lady Is by no means surprising. So many women of the highest - social class nowadays smoke in restaurants after meals, and at all hourß in hotel lounges, that the filtering down of a taste for the weed to a more humble,stratum of society was only to be expected. “Like mistress, like maid” applies to cigarettes as much as to clothes and hats, and the lady of the house who-consumes her ten to fifteen cigarettes a day can hardly, with logic and consistency, take her house-maid to task for indulging in the imitation which is said to be the sincerest form of flattery. The fact that it is a forbidden pleasure makes it the more alluring. The maidservant takes a sample from her mistress’s silver cigarette case, tries, tastes, an<j finds it good. Her mistress declares that she smokes because she is tired, and needs a soothing restorer. The maid is tired, too, and thinks what is good sauce for upstairs will probably prove equally pleasant for consumption in the basement. For this reason ladies in search of servants should make a point of inquiring whether the new housemaid or the nurse just engaged is a nonsmoker.

VERY QUEER EGGS.

Ducks Hold Record for Laying the Oddest Ones. - "If The stories told by poultry-keep-ers in regard to the laying of eggs are in danger of becoming viewed by the public in the same suspicious light as the tall yarns of fishermen, says the Molassine World. It Ts announced that an egg laid by a hen belonging to a coaßt-guards officer at Bridgeport measured 7 % inches by 6 % inches, while another of similar size picked up in a farmyard at Fenny Stratford was, oh being opened, found to_ contain a perfectly formed second egg. The record monster chicken’s egg is believed to be one of 8 inches by 7 inches, and weighing 6 ounces. The moat freakish eggs are attributed to ducks. The Weston Park Museum, Sheffield, has a duck’s egg contains another smaller one inside, and a still greater curiosity is a twin egg, the two being joined together end to end. In a museum at Paris a curious fourfoQted goose fays an egg which is invariably misshapen, and the shell of which is so brittle that it. breaks if touched. All efforts to preserve these eggs have been futile. An egg apparently in a state of perfect preservation Is reported to have been discovered imbedded in the mortar of an ancient church near Paris. As the wall had been standing for fully 800 years, the egg must have ben undisturbed for all that long period.

Policeman's Badge Over His Heart. Many persons are puzzled to know why policemen wear their badges so low on their coats Instead of on the flap made for that purpose. As a matter of fact, the badge or star, as he calls It, of many a pol'ceman Is right next to his heart. Some of the bluecoats of this city can thank their “stars” for being alive. Thla little metal shield has deflected the bullet of burglar or highwayman and gt times, too, has stopped the knife thrust of would-be assassins. During the last twenty or thirty years there are many cases on record showing that the little badge has been a llfesaver Evenbullets fired at close range, as a rule cannot penetrate the shield. That’s why a bluecoat always feels safer In keeping the star at a vital spot. When off duty some policemen wear their stars on their vests, but always directly over the heart. They are so aeustomed to the little protector that they feel uneasy without it.—New York Son.

A Municipal Brewery.

A municipal undertaking feature baa been put into operation in Vienne The business of two large corporations. which have engaged in this business, has been purchased by the city for |600,090. This city already operates the gas and electric lighting business and has recently purchased a large brewery.

WATS OF SEA HEDGEHOGS.

tow tt Protects Itself From the Hx» gry Shark. Of fishes a largo number are protected from hostile attack by a cow trlng of pfickles. By far the most lurlous examples are the globe fishes or “sea hedgehogs” of the Atlantic ind Indo-Faciflc oceans. The ex>xeme length of the globe fish Is tomethlng less than two feet. It las thick lips and goggle eyes, which live it the appearance of a good-nat-ired countryman. Courage It seems to lack, and one might suppose that mch a simpleton would fall an eaay prey to the first shark or dogfish It inoountered. Tot the globe fish In' ibie to take care of itself. It never, under any circumstances, attacks the onemy, yet Is always ready to revive him in a suitable manner should he provoke hostilities. Let us suppose that a shoal of globe fishes is iwlmming tranquilly in the clear waters when It is suddenly surprised by a hungry shark. Of course the little fellows scuttle hither and thither in uncontrollable alarm. But the shark, poising hlmsdlf upon bis powerful tall, leisurely singles out one of the fleeing globe fishes and sets out in pursuit. Now, although the globe fish Is a good swimmer, it ano matoh for the shark. Thu chase Is in every way unequal and can have but one ending. Within a few minutes of Its commencement the shark must overtake the globe fish; But the quarry is well aware of Its danger. It makes a bee-line for the surface, and as soon as it gets there begins to take in great gulps of air. Then a strange thing happens. The fish that only a moment before was thin and small begins to grow stouter and stouter until, like the frog in the fable, it seems in danger of bursting. It stops inflating itself, however, just in time to avert this catastrophe. But its skin has become as taut as a drumhead and the whole of its body is covered with sharp erect prickles. It has become a sea hedghog, and the hungry shark which comes surging through the water dares not touch it, but turns tall in search of something more eatable. Of course the globe fish was covered with prickles all the time, but In periods of tranquility these lie comfortably along Its sides, just as'do those of the hedgehogs. Unlike its land prototype, however, the sea hedgehog is unprovided with a special muscle for erecting) its prickles, so when danger threatens ,it has recourse to the mechanical methbd of inflating the whole body with air or with water if it cannot reach the surface quickly.

PLEASED WITH THE SMOKE.

Knew Nod, However, the Cigars Were Medicated for Another Man. Among the numerous employees of one of the government departments in this city are two men whose names, though they differ in the way of spelling them are not altogether unlike in the manner of their prounuclation. Both of them have the good fortune of being close friends of a prominent druggist, and the elder of the two has frequently obtained from the medicine man a supply of medicated cigars, which he finds to be of value In giving him relief from a catarrhal affection. Recently he called on the druggist and requested him to have prepared for him a box of the cigars. After a few days, not having received them, he wrote a note inquiring as to the cause of the inattention, and received word in reply that the medicated stogies had been sent to his office several days before his complaint was made. The next thing was a call nude at the drug store by the man with the catarrh, who waa disposed to be indignant, and the porter who had been despatched with the cigars waa called up. He said that he took them to the office and handed them to a messenger, who promised they should be delivered without any delay. They - had not been, however, and it became necessary to investigate the mystery. An explanation came next day, when the other friend with a name sounding like that of the sick man called on the druggist and thanked him for what he thought had been a present to him. He wanted to find where he oould procure another beo, as he had used all of these. These was a peculiar flavor to the tobaeee, he said, that he liked very modi. Be didn’t know they were medioated cigars until the druggist told him, and tbs matter was set straight by tit ether gentle man being promptly supplied with his catarrh remedy, and them they aB enjoyed the joke.— Washington Post
