Five p cics are fouad north of Tcxa, but tho greater put of this family belong to Mexico, 'tha Wost Indies aad Central aad South Arania. Tha humming bird is a very intcreitia? tudy. Its flight i luaiv.lou. It hardly ever alights,, con stantly hovtrs over flowen, its wings keeping up a hum, by thri: rapid vi bration.. Tho borer over fliwers is diaigncl.not to saicll their oJcr, nor to extract honey, miny persons er roneously suppose, but to capture in cctP. To this their bid asd tonguo are admirably adaptel, being so long and tlcadcr, that they can reach into the deepest recoups of the flower, where the insects cooccal them elves. The j humming lird is the ouly bird that has teeth bavini? short ruairaeniry ones. oao of tho arguments of tho evolution ists that all birds sprang from tho rep tile, and ori;ia.lly ha I teeth. If you can find a humming-bird nest it will well repay the troublo of buat irg for it. It ii constructed of such fibrous matter as may bo at hand, as grais, stalk, cotton, etc, and liaed with Tigetablo down. The outailo of the neat is overcd with mos, bark r lic'ioas, so that it looks no more than a knot oa the branch u oi which it is bud', whilo the whole is glu.d together w.th tho sa'iva of the bird. Tho mate rrid is generally wound m pirt around the branch on which tha nest ii built, to that it is firm and difficult to det c'i. It is cup-hap:d, .and, iu the smillct of them measure not maro than half an inch across tho widest part.

During the reeent'dog show, says tbi Waihtagtoa Star, a troupa of perrorm- ing dogs attracted . ray:h attention. Professor J. W. Huuj toi, tha owner and trainer of the erioiroing dogs, when queition?d by the reprt r about, his doa and bii methed of training them, said: Tbij b inaess of miao ia ono of the most interesting ia the world. Few arc in If, for tho" simple reason that few people possess the knack of i.-n parting knowledge to du-nb anima's. S ma folks might try to trais a dog forever and accomplish uothing.' "What quali ias mut a maa pos-is ia order to bo a good trainer? asked the reporter. "In the firt place," said tho Profes sor, "n:uch decision of - character, a strong wil!-powor. and a choerful, pleasant roice. Of tU things tbo will T.laTi the most important part. It is by its use that animals i - - i , may bo most ea-ily trained." "How do you cou uuuco to traia ani malst -aiked tho reporter. "Taking a dog a year old, for. in stance, I first teach hi.a to mind. This might tako six aad tveu ten lessons, butdoa't start out to train a dog before tou teach him to mind vil After ho j i . understands vou are his master aad muit be obeyed, commence to teach him to sit up. Hold him ia the correct po sition against tho wall, show him what you w- n , and concentrate your rein unoa ,;! doing it. Whon ho has leartn. to sit tp, try him standing on his bin 4 Tin will come very easily tJ him. Than comes . the .wadz you'll find that very hard, but jrscver ancc aad judicious training will accom pllsh even that. Teaching him to jump is tho nt xt thing and tupplcment tin wi:h leaping, if ho be a largo dog. Jiow, thero aro a creat many people, con tinued tho professor, who try to teach a dog to jump by holding a pieco of meat oa the other si le of a cano and -bidding the dog to get it. That's wrong nntf will ruin a good dog ii a little while. If you want to traia a dog to ju.np, show him what you want himtodo, and by a littlo pitience you will ace him perform the trick with case and pleas ure. When a dog goes through his part of the programme in a sluggish manner it ii only a qucs-tion of a few days when be will shirk it altogether." "You train mcukrys also, don't you?'' a'ked the report r. Yc" said the Profcsior, ' monkeys, geese, cat, gont, Uog rat in fact, I can teach almost everything." "How about moi.k'jys; arc th y hard to tr .i .?' "Well, ye'. Tlu-rc arc a great many people who think that monkeys arc Viry easy to train, but that ii a mittake. They will probably do what y u want them two or three times all right, but they soon 'forgets Thcso monkoys'' continued tho Profcisor, "arc great drunkard. - Tbi one," pointing to a wco lit of one clinging to the c'own dog's tail, "is drunk even now. The reporter looked, aid sure enough the little fellow had a straaRe glare in his (j i, aud wa trying his best to di-. locate the chain that lound hirn to the box. i , . ' "Hut tho greatest drunkards ia the animal world," sail tho Io'cor, ".ire gout.

The Star man followed and in a pri vate room saw a full vrjwn giosc tril lag aroua 1. Tho Pro'ts sor w.s greeted with a series of di corda'nt cries. Tie goos was orcc a wild one aad shot ia Canada. The Profe-sor prMing b-ught her aal took ber to the theatre where be was giving an exhibition. It was here the thcuht cf training her first presented iticlf and la les than ix weeks, old "3Ioutry. that's hr nam? could count, aid, subtract, muttiply, divide, tell ibo dsy of the week, hoar, la fc could do a' mo t aaythiag with figure.

Djn't whip him ualest be deseivei it and don't apeak harshly, and,? abovj 'all, doaH over- train him. The best of do;s havo been ruiacd tbi wir." 1 The II omaa Heart. Ia the human subjict the average rapidity of tho cardiic puUatioa of aa a lull ma!e is about 70 Wats per minute. These beats are j mora frequeat, as a rule, ia young children aad women, and there aro variuioas withia certain liatiu in particular 'person owing to pcculiari- ti-a of organ ua ion. It wouia Jtoi 1 jucciaaiiiy bo aa alnormal sia to find in some nsrticuLr indiviJuals tho habit ual frequency of the heart's action from GO to C3 or 75 to !0 per minute. A a rule, the heart's actioi is slower anu more powerful in fUy developed and mucular organizations and moro rapjd and feebler in those of sUghter lorm. Ia animals tha: rang is frm 25 to 45 n the cold-blooded and 50 fipward in the warm-blooded animal', except in the caso of a hore, which has a very alow heart Ixyit only 40 strokes i a minute. Tho pulsations of men and;all animals differ with tho sea level al.o.' The work of a hetlthy human heart ha been showa tc equal the feat of raising five toaa four hundredweight one foot per hour, or 125 tons in 21 hours. The excess of tin work uldor alcohol ia varying quantities is often very great. A curious calculation has been made by Dr. Rich ardson giving the work of tho heart In mileage. Presuming thst the blood was thrown out of the heart at? each pulsa tion in the proporiion of CO strokes per minute, and at thV assumed force of niae feet, tho mileage of the blood through tho body might bo taken at 207 yarJs j cri minute, seven miles per hour, ICS pr day, 61,320 miles per year, or 5, 150, 8S0 miles in a lifetime of 84 years. Tho number of beats of tho heart in tho same long life, would roach tho grand total . of 2,S0'J,7G0,OO0. IM'iol WorU. ! ProspcronV Colored Men.
