Bird of two meats the brown, the white Which like Jhe dual tribes unite. And in a single body run ; Of tints diverse, in substance one. Hail to thy bosom broad and puffed 1 Plump as a maiden's, cotton stuffed. Hail to thy drumsticks, dainties fine, That served as "devils" seem divine ! Hail to thy side bones ! rich morceaux And thy ecclesiastic nose, Whicn, to the laws of order blind, Nature has queerly placed behind ; Yet scoffers vow they fitness see In nose of bishop following thee, And hint that every nose of priest Turns eagerly toward savory feast. ' Methinka I see a dish borne in O'er-canopied with shining tin. From 'neath which dome a vapor rare Curls through the hospitable air. Presto ! up goes the burnished lid, And lo, the bird, its concave hid 1 I see thee browned from crest to tail Bird of two meats, all hail ! all hail ! Thro' thy round breast the keen steel glides : Rich ichor irrigates thy sides ; "Dressing," to give the slices zest, Rolls from thy deep, protuberant chest. Then, tunnelling, in search of "cates," The spoon thy "innards" excavates, And forth, as from a darksome mine, Brings treasures for which gods might pine. Bird of the banquet 1 what to me Are all the birds of melody ? Thy "merry thought" far more I love Than merriest music of the grove. And in tby "gobble," deep and clear, Thy gourmand's shibboleth I hear ! Of all earth's dainties there is none Like thee to thank the Lord upon ; And so receive thy votive lay, Thou Sovereign Bird of Thanksgiving Day. Qood Housekeeping. A Splendid Road of Iron Slag. Sotjth- ington, Uonn., Uct. dO. The problem of good roads, cheaply built, seems to have been solved by the officials of this town. The high way grade was cut down several inches and then filled in with coarse slag from the rolling mills. This was covered with iron filings and gravel. In a short time the entire mass becomes ground up and the action of the atmos- pnere on tne iron mages a roadbed as smooth and hard as asphalt, and is said to be superior to the famous shell roads along the Sound shore When a man is deemed reliable out in Montana they say.

Hidden Rivera of Florida Until about twenty years ago the vast grassy plain lying between Uamesviiie and Micanopy, and known as Paynos prairie, was one of the ' most noted local i ties in Florida, Stretching fifteen miles from east to west and six from north to south it presented & grand and beautiful spectacle when waving with green grass and herbage. The old Indian chief, Jrling Payne, had his headquarters in the neigh borhood of it, and it came to be known by his name. But in 1871. during a violent storm of several days' duration the subter ranean outlet to the waters of the prairie, known as the great sink, became clogged with moss and other debris that drifted into it. Then the water rose over the prairie to a depth of from three to twenty feet, and for twenty years the prairie re mained a lake. . . Such phenomena are not rare in Florida, and they prove that 'the subterranean features of the State are even more re markable than those of the surface. Let a tourist travel from Man anna to liaines- ville, and thence southward to Brooks ville, and he could not fail to be convinced that that portion of the State at least has an extensive system of underground water-ways. Through those bottomless, well-like holes at Silver Springs one looks down into a subterranean river. "The Devil's Hopper," the "Devil's Punch Bowl," and thousands of other depressions or "sinks" are caused by the cave m of the earth or soft rock that spanned some hidden river or creek. The outlets oi some of these underground streams have been found off the coast, tho fresh water boiling up out of the sea. Jacksonville limes, union. Superstitions About Birds. In many parts of Saxony the peasants will not raise chickens, even though they could double their investment many fold. They call the male of the barnyard fowl the "bird of ill omen,' from a notion that he "crowed for joy" at the time of the crucifixion. The majority of sailors on the Atlantic Ocean religiously believe that the frigate bird can start at daybreak with the trade winds from the coast of Africa and roost the same night upon the American coast Ornithologists say that under favorable conditions the frigate bird will make 200 miles an hour. In Sweden the turtle dove is looked upon as sacred. The swedes call it "trod s bird ' and "JNoahs bird," trora a notion that it is the same species of bird that the commander of the Ark sent out to bring back tidings of a receding flood In t ranee the quail is called the iJird of Prophecy: this from an idea that the number of his calls lortells the price of wheat. If he calls twice without resting the farmers expect but 2 francs per bushel for his grain, if the bird calls four times he expects to realize twice the price which two calls insures. In olden times a bird called a "phoenix" was thought to live in the deserts of Arabia. His lease of life was said to be 500 years, at the end of which time he built a nest of spices and fanned it into a flame with his wings The flame reduced the bird to ashes, out of which he sprung to live another 500 years. Kicbardson says tbat be bad ntty orifices in his beak, through which he sung melodious airs. I he raven was also one ot the chosen birds of mediaeval superstition. Knapp calls him The hateful messenger of heavy things, Of death and dolour telling. Dayton speaks of The greedy raven that doth call for death. Globe-Democrat.

VV hat is now culled Vermont was claimed by both New Hampshire and New York in those days, and it was not advanced to the dignity of Statehood until 1791 two years after the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown and two years after the organization of the Government under the constitution.

J.ne first team that came along was a lightning- rou UUlilb. I "nend, can you take a passenger ?" Said 1. lie loosed at me suspiciously. Perhaps l looked even more cross-eyed than usual, nnuuuiiuv otuio ciumea on. jxj, any i rate, he seemed at first of a mind to drive on without me. JJut he finally stopped bis wagon, marked : and condescendingly re- "Yes : you can pile on back there top j of the rods and ladders." I gratefully accepted the privilege, and we rode on in silence until we reached a wayside watering-trough. The man dis mounted, unhooked a pail from beneath the wagon, and proceeded to water his horses. Meantime the proprietor of the premises came out to fill his own pail. He Knew me wen, ana said : "How d' do, Judge ? What luck have you had shooting?" As the word "J uage" fell from his lips I noticed a look of astonishment on the face of the Yankee lightning-rod man. The fellow was bolstering up a pail of water with his knee to a height from which his horse could drink without unchecking, and his astonishment was so great tbat he let his knee slip out from under the pail, and splashed the front of his clothes. "Didn't tbat feller back there at the waterin'-trough call you judge T inquired the Yankee as soon as we had started on. "Yes," I replied. "What be you judge of a hoss race?" he exclained, turning back to take a sec ond contemptuous inventory of my per sonal charms. "No; judge of a court," I replied. "What kind of a court?" "A circuit court," was my answer. "Waal, down East, where I came from, it took a considerable of a feller to be cir. cuit judge ! How big's your circuit ?" "it reaches irom the Wisconsin line as far south as Peoria," I again replied. .bitting the hickory stock ot his drovers whip, he sent its long rawhide lash twirl ing in a succession of coils above his head, which culminated in a crack like the ex plosion of a pistol. "My God I I'll settle in this country myselt it tbey make such a man as you judge!" exclaimed the disgusted Yankee. it was his final dictum. He did not offer to exchange another word with me. We parted in silence at the outskirts of tho town. Chicago Mail. Sings of a hard Winter. Angle Worms, Hornets' Nests, and Other Pheno mena in tne lactawana Valley, Sceanton, Nov. 2. "This is going to bo a very hard winter," said an old resi dent of the Lackawanna Valley yesterday, ''and 1 11 tell you why 1 say so. In the first place, look at the hornets' nests You will find them high up this fall. That's a sure sign of a hard winter, i If it was going to be a mild winter you would find them near the ground. Two years ana three years ago the winters were mild, and the hornets nests were low down. "Then take angle worms for another sign. Dig in the ground now and you will find them crawling two feet or more below the surface. They know what kind of down to avoid the frost. Two years ago I found them not three inches under the surface and they stayed there all winter. "Fuzz on hogs is another sure sign of a severe winter. .Butcher a hog now and you will find a thick fuzz at the roots of the bristles. The fuzz wouldn't be there if next winter wasn't going to be a tough one. Two and three years ago this fall there wasn't any fuzz at all on hogs, and you know how open the winters were. "I predicted a hard winter in 1855 from these signs, and my neighbors ridiculed me, or tried to, but we got it just as I said. 1 bad so much faith in the signs tbat I got a lot of boys to trap all the auails for me tbat tbey could. 1 win tered over 200 quails, and in tho spring of 1856 there wasn't a live quail in the Lackawanna Valley except the ones I had. I turned them all loose at various points, and in the fall we had some good shooting, which we wouldn't .have had if I hadn't paid attention to the signs." 1 1 1 m JST The following States have no State motto : Indiana.

The Colossus of Rhodes, the second in the list of ancient wonders, was a great brazen statute of Apollo, which stretched its huge legs across the harbor of Rhodes and was so large that ships in full sail passed between. It was 105 feet high and of most exact proportions. The erection of the Colossus was begun in the year 3700 B. C, but was not finished tor nearly 200 years. It was of brass, caBt in sections, ana was overthrown by an earthquake in the year 224 B. C. It weighed 720,900 pounds. '1 he Temple of Diana is another of the Seven Wonders of the World which has entirely disappeared. It was a magnifi. cent structure, situated upon the Evan tine and Ephesus, and was constructed at the common cost of all Asiatic countries. The lofty domed roof was supported by 127 monster columns of Parian marble the tribute to Diana of 127 Kings. The facade of the temple occupied 200 feet upon the iwantine, and the walls stretched back 425 feet, all glittering with gems and precious stones. ... . . - rourtn in oraer ot prominence was the Mausoleum the tomb of Mausolus, the first King of Caria. According to Pliny it had a total height of 140 feet It was erected by Artemesia, the widow of Mausolus, about 353 B. C. It consisted of a basement 65 feet high, on which stood an Ionic colonnade 23 feet high, surmounted by a pyramid, rising in steps to a similar height, and on the apex of the pyramid a colossal group of Mau solus and wife in a chariot drawn by four horses of heroic size.

If possible, tradition and history have told us less about the Sixth Wonder of the World the hanging Gardens of Babylon than tbey have of tho fifth. Herodotus does not mention them ; Pliny only casually alludes to their existence, and the scriptural account of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar ignores the subject al together. Popular accounts of the Hang ing Gardens say tbat they were huge baskets ot brass and iron, 4U0 feet square swung on mammoth stone arches, which were erected near the Royal Palace at Babylon. The Seventh Wonder was a combined lighthouse and watch tower, situated on the eastern end of the Island of Pharos, at Alexandria, Egypt. Its construction was begun by Ptolemy Soter about the year 332 B. C. It was 400 feet high and A Cuaious Caterpillar. A gentle - man of this city handed Ur. mos. tr.

This species is a rather general feeder, but seems to prefer the mature leaves of the oak. In Florida it feeds upon the foliage of the Orange. It has no econ omic significance, not being likely to in crease.- I enclose a rough drawing of moth, larva and cocoon natural size.

Presidential Electors are chosen on the first Tuesday-after the first- Monday of November inr leap r years."' That ' really settles the question "and the President may be said to bo elected on that day. But legally the President is not elected until the Electors of each State have met and cast their ballots. The day set by Congress for this meeting of the Electors in their respective States Is the first Wed nesday in December following, - and that is the day on which technically; the Presi dent of the United States IS elected. Tho votes of the electors aro counted in the presence of the two houses of Congress on the second Wednesday in February. There have been eight Chief Justices of the United States Supreme ' Court, whose names, in the order of their succession , are as follows : John Jay, John Rutledge, Oliver Ellsworth, John . Marshall, Roger B. Taney, Salmon P. Chase, Morrison a. Waite and Melville W. Fuller. The members oi President Harrison's Cabinet at present are: James G. Blaine of Maine, Secretary, of State : Charles . Foster of Ohio, Secretary of the Treasury ; Bedfield Proctor -of Vermont, Secretary of War j John W. Noble of , Missouri, Secretary of the Interior;. Benjamin F. ; Tracy of New York, Secretary of the JNavy : Jeremiah M. KusKOt Wisconsin, Secretary of ,. Agriculture ; John Wana- maker of Pennsylvania, Postmaster uen-. eral, and William Henry Harrison Miller ' of Indiana,: Attorney General. This is the Cabinet as appointed by Mr. Harrison shortly after his inauguration, except that Foster of Ohio succeeded William Windom, who was Harrison's first Secretary of the Treasury, and whose sudden death at a banquet in JNew xork last winter is wcu remembered. Bedfield Proctor, the pres ent Secretary of War, has been appointed Senator, from Vermont to succeed Ed- -munds, resigned but he still holds the office, and a new Secretary of War will probably not be chosen until Congress meets. The President's house in Washington City is built of sandstone, and is painted white. This latter circumstance is pretty generally given ; as the origin of its name of White House. But there may be other reasons. : Among the many pos sessions of the Widow Custis, who became famous in history as Martha Washington, the wife of our first President, there was . an estate on York Biter, Virginia, known as the White House, from the fact tbat the mansion on it was white. It is not altogether unlikely that the Executive Mansion was named after this estate. The White House estate on York Biver be- I came the property of General : Robert Jh. I Lee's wife, who was a great-granddaugh- Iter of Martha Washington by her first I husband, and was among the first of the I great Virginia houses to fall into the I bands of the Federals after the beginning I of the war between the States. Of course President Washington never occupied the White House in Washington City. He was inaugurated, ia New York City in 1789, and Philadelphia was the National capital during the greater part of his two terms. Thomas v Jefferson was the first President inaugurated (March 4, 1801) in w&smugtoa vaty. . .
