The bouse has only ono room, in which the woman eats, drinks and sleeps. It is over 20 years since Mruo. Mu nier came to live in the vicinity of ber present home. Lior husband, a Frenchman, -was with her then, and thoy ooupied a comfortable houso With a small piece of land around it. After about three years M. Muhior disappeared.

After a few months of solitude in the little house Mine. Munier went out into the sand hills Rnd built her self the shanty that she still occu pies.

The Cclgravia part of the estate begins at St. George '8 hospital, runs down tho center of Grosvenor placo to the Buckingham palaoe road and passes dowfl the wostarn . sido of Vauxball bridge road, almost in a straight line to tbe river Thame; thence running along tbe river bank eastward as far as the Grosvenor canal.

COLLECTING BIRDSKIN3. Soma tltata For ThOM Who Think of En " , kSlMt I FutlmSa B. H. Warren, state zoologist of Pennsylvania, tells in bulletin No. 6 bow to collect, skin, preserve and mount birds. The colloctor, having, of course, a permit granted- by the state in which be lives, starts out after bis birds with the best shotgun be can prooura Usually it is a 13 gauge, but a 10 or 20 bore is prefer able, and be should bavo shells load ed with shot of a size for anything from a warbler to an eagle. An aux iliary barrel that will shoot a S3 or S3 caliber shot shell i also useful, and a metal iubo five or sixtaohoa lung to tit into the gun barrel the. same as a cartridge, loaded with 22 caliber shot shells, is also useful for small birds like the warblers. Smoke less powder is best for the 32, 38 and 22 caliber shells, because it makes littlo noiso to disturb the other birds in the vicinity. To carry the specimens a good sized fish basket is best, eaob speoies being wrapped in paper carefully and great care being taken that the tail feathers aro not broken. When soveral large birds lire taken, it ia best to skin but the body, leaving the wings, legs and bead whole. Of course under such . circumstances facts about tho bird aro jotted down in ' the notebook. Tho notebook should bo kept in ink, because a pen cil mark blurs easily. When a bird is shot, it should bo picked up by , tho legs or bill unless it is a crippled heron, hawk or owl. The wounded birds are killed by presaing the heart from cither Hide close to tho wings. All wounds and openings ore stop ped with cotton to prevent tho plum age being spoiled. To bo of valuo eaob specimen should bo labeled with tho naino, sex, data and locality , especially in tho case of young birds, since nn adult can always bo idontiOed. The name Of the collector, color of tho bird's eyes and con touts of its stom ach may also bo put on the label, be sides abbreviations indicating adult (ad.) or immoture (g. or yuv.),and tho state of the plumago, wbotbor nuptial (nupt.) or migratory. "Hor not" means n yearling bird. Tho average collector, man or wo man Who lrom a jovo or nature , eoeks thfl- fjeias Tvill not care to do i more than skin tho birds, leaving it i to somo regular taxidermist to moa t t ' them. For skinning birds and blow i Jng eggs six instruments aro neoded I namely, a pair of tpring forceps, i an epg drill, a cartridge knife, a pair ' of surgical scissors, a pair cf Staling I forceps and ft -Jjlowpipb follow tho ! eggs. Any taxidermist will show bow to skin a bird fur bettor than W0r(j9 can describe tho process. Once scoured, the bird skin ia pre served with common salt if at a dis tance from tho taxidorniist, as in a camp, for instanced - The eggs are blown through a sin. glo bole in the sido, not through the hole in eaob end, after tho usual stylo with hens' eggs. A small circular boloisi drilled through the shell; a small wire is inserted to break the contents; then tho' blowpipe is in serted, and! with tbe bolo down, a gen.tlo, steady blowing insured the cleansing of tho egg.

It would seem that at some far distant date a people more civilized than any of tbe present Kaffir tribes had penetrated into the region we now call Masbonaland and bad maintained itself there for a consid erable' period. Remains of gold workings are found in many parts of that country, and even as far as tbe southwestern part of Matabelo land remains wbioh show that mining must have beencarrTed on, by primitive methods no doubt, but still upon a scale larger than we oan well deem within the capabilities of the Kaffir tribes as we now see them. There are, moreover1, in those regions, and usually not far from some old gold working, pieces of anoient buildings executed with a neatness and finish, as well as with an attempt at artistio effect, whiob are entirely absent from tbe rough walls, sometimes of loose stones, sometimes plastored with mud, wbioh the Kaffirs build today. These old buildings are, with one exception, bits of wall . inclosing forts or residences. They are con structed of small blocks of granite of the country, carefully trimmed to be of one size, and are usually or namented with a simple pattern, jjuch as the so called "herringbone" pattern. The one exocption is to be found in the ruins . of Zimbabwe', in southern Masbonaland. . Here a wall 30 feet high and from 6 to 12 or 14 feet thick incloses a large ellip tical space, filled with other build ings, some of - which apparently were intended for the purposes of worship. There are no inscriptions of any kind and few objects, oxoopt some rudely carved heads of birds, to sup ply any indication as to tho ethno logical affinities of the pooplo who ereoted this building or as to tbe i nature of their worship. Suoh indi cations as we have, bowevor, sug gest that it was some form of nature worship, including- the worship of the sun. We know from other souroes, including the Egyptian inonumonts and the Old Testament, that there was from very early times a trade between tho Red sea and some pai-t of east Africa, and as wo know also that the worship of nat ural forces and of tho suu prevailod among the early Semites the view that tho huildors of Zimbabwe wore of Arab or somo other Komitlo stock is at least highly plausible. Two things are quite clear to every one who examines tho ruins and compares them with "the smaller fraginonts of ancient buildings al ready mentioned. Those who built Zimbabwe wore a race much su perior to tho Bantu tribes, whose mud huts ere now to bo found not far .from these still strong and solid walls, and those pther remains scat tered through tbe country werw either the work of that same upe rior race or, at any rato, wero built in imitation of their stylo and undor tbo influence thoy bad left. But whether this- race was driven out or peaceably withdrow or became by degrees absorbod and lost in tbo surrounding Bantu population wo have no data for conjecture. Jt they came from Arabia, thoy must have comexnoro than 12 centurios ago, before tho days of Mohammed, for thoy woro evidently not Mussul mans, and it is just ns easy to sup pose that thoy came in tho days of Solomon, 15 centuries earlier.

It is never safe to say things to the raggod, unkempt mot one sees and meets a-flshing by some mud poud or stream. This truth is illus trated by theeasoof Daniol Webster. Webster was a fisherman and had sloops and a smack in which be used to enjoy tbo pastime. lis was not overfastidlous in bis fisherman's dress. If ho toro bis clothes, ho did not take the trouble to have the rent sewed up, and when enjoying his sport he was n tolerably rough look ing customer, according to a Roches ter paper whose reporter interview ed Mrs. Dawes, a rosident of Marsh. flold in Webster's days. Webstor and Mrs. Dawes' unclqj)kan8 have spent lots of money and) were fishing one day from tbe shore of tho bay, when n stilish young fellow, a visitor at Marshfield, tum bled head over heels into the marsh. The tumbler yolled at Webster, ask ing how much be would take to haul him out and carry him over the mud. .. "A quarter" answered Webster, and tbo doed was done. Whereupon the. quarter was turned over, and Webster, bad started . away when the mud stumblor nskod: "To whom am I indebted?" "Only Daniol Webstar." .

Washington, D. C, Sept. 4, '96. McKinleyites haven't had much to enthuse over before so thpv nrn making the most of " the Vermont election by yelling therrraelvcs hoarse over whatt every intelligent man ,-. knows to hWe been a foregone con- elusion. This isn't worrying the" democrats tven a little bit. Senator Faulkner, chairman of tho Demo craticx Congressional Committee, says of it i "We made no attempt to carry the state, whiln the rcpuh- have exerted every energy to win. I am told that a house to house can vass was made by prominent repub licans " Senator Harris, of Tenn., ono of tho old democratic war horses, said : "If the republicans can find any comfort in the Ver mont election they are welcoiue to it. They will need a meat deol of eomforLJjcfore tho campaign is over." Secretary Ditrendeifer, of tho silver committees, said: "The effect of the election will bo to unify tho south and west and middle west. The electk.iv shows that tho east is making a sectional fight, nnd I do not know anything which could haw happened that would have made more silver votes. We had no idea of carrying Vermont, nnd we haven't any idea of carrying Maine. Wo have not done any thing in either state." The democratic National Com mittee has decided to accedo to the request of tho Pennsylvania miners, and will send Senator Tillman, of S. (V, upon a ten days stumping tour of the coal section. The democrats do not expect to carry Pennsylvania for Bryan, but they have excellent reasons for expecting to give the re publicans some very unpleasant surprises in a number of tho Con gressional districts of the State. Senator Gorman was at demo cratic headquarter this week, and it is expected that from now on he will take an active part in tho man agement of the campaign. He be lieves that Ifryan and Sewall can be elected. Kvery Alabama deniocnit in Washington regards Dr. Moseley's recent interview ahout tho rosy chances of the republicans Ur carry that State as nothing more nor le.-is than an attempt to get a part xjf ; Mark Hanna's big campaign fund, and one Alabnmian says of it : "In view of the stringency of the money market down our way, the true blue democracy would lie pleased to see Dr. Mosclcy pull any amount 1 from Mr. HannaV plethonc poht- j icn! purso. We rathei enjoy the ! fun, and the money goes into cirrn-i lation."
