He says that the town of Yeroynsk Siberia, is the coldest inhabited spot in the world. The thermometer stood eighty-six below zji'o when ho was there, and be says it seldom jroes above, fifty below. I asked him the other day what the people did who lived at this blissful spot, what they hud to rat, and how they liked it. "Why," he replied "they think it is a pretty j;ood sort of climate. 'llotne, Sweet Home,' is the sole,' the world over, and if the Veroynskers should collie here tbry would wonder what the people did here where it is so hot. They would smother in ibis climate and pine for a still' northwesterly alo. It is wonderful the amount of cold hum an llesh can endure.

It is purely Indian in origin and government. This strange peo ple remained unconipicred until the Span iards forced their entriinic in 1"1!I titid then Cortes treated them us national allies rather than enemies. He turned their in domitable courage and wonderful skill in hi favor and against their hereditary foes, the Aztecs, and thus he was enablul to fi nally subdue the Montezuinas. Spain con ferred on them exclusive privileges, mid to this day they maintain tbeiii. Nunc lu'. full-blooded Indians sit in their Senate. The Tlaxcalatis arc very exclusive, und rarely mingle with the outside world. The only one who, it is said, ever left his native land voluntarily is now at the Aztec fa!r. 1 1 is name is Hamuli 1 1 u. i t n He wns burn in the capital city and in early life served in the army, but late he adopted the trade of silversmith. His phlegmatic persevcretice soon mastered this railing and he began tu elaborate, and so skillful was his work that it was sent to Mexico city for sale, and this brought him to the no tice of the Aztec Fair management N.

In New Guinea a bird has been found that builds a hut and lays out a garden as pet feet us a human 'being could. Il is called the garden-bird and when the first hut was observed by an Italian naturalist he could uot but believe that some of the natives had formed it to deceive him. In orocting this house, which is also distinct from the nest, the bird selects a small tree and about two feet from the ground binds sonti! mo.' s about it. Against this sotnr twigs are leaned, the other end having b.'eii thrust into the ground. This is done in a rirele, tinlil finally a perfect tent is forincil with the tree us a centre-pole, mid a door left on one side, The twigs tln.t firm the r.iof are eniwiu 'd one with an other, and a tiny hive Inen selected from an orchid that conlinu to grow, the roof minis water tight. The bird carefully clears away all material from the, front ul the cottage, so tint it is soon a lawn ol green grass, and about this the featheteil gar loner arranges fl iwers and shells of various kinds, removing the former every day as they fade und supplying; others, the faded ones being carefully carried and d.'posited in a heap behind the house.
