There has been many a young life wrecked by having some one to dig for them. The beach all along the ocean of life is strewn with just such wrecks. If they had been compelled to facs life's battle as their father's did be- fore them, it would hive aroused the man- liomi within them and the world would have been the better for their having lived in it.

A correspondent of Nature reports tiiat the elephants in Central Park are often seen tocovertheir backs with new-mown grass taking It up by the trunkfnl and carefully thatching themselves against the sun's rays And another correspondent of the same journal sends the following statements which make it necessary to revise the old saying that man is the only animal that uses tools "One evening, soon ofter my arrival in Eastern Assam, and while the five elephants were bemsj fed opposite the bungalow, I ob- served a young and lately caujiht ons step up to a bamboo fence, and quietly pull up one of the stakes. Placing it under his foot, it broke oflf a piece with its trunk, and after lifting it to its mouth, threw it away. It repeated this twice or thrice, and then drew another stake. Seeing that the bamboo was old and dry, I asked the reason of thb, and was told to wait and see what the elephant would do. ' At last it seemed to get a piece that suited him, and holding it in the trunk firmly, and stepping the left fore-leg well forward, it passed the piece of bamboo under the arm-pit, so to speak, and began to scratch with some force, "My surprise reached its climax, when I saw a large elephani-leech fall tolhegroimd, quite six inches long, and thick as one's finger, and which, from its position, could not be easily detached without this scraper which was deliberately made by the eleph- ant. I subsequently found that this was a common occurrence. Such scrapers are used by every elephai^t daily. " On another occasion, when travelling at a time of the year when the large flies are so tormenting to an elephant, I noticed the one I rode had no fan or wisp to beat them oflf with. The driver, at my order, slackened space and allowed her to go to the side of the road, when for some moments she moved along, rummaging the smaller jungle on the banks. At last she came to a cluster of young shoots well branched, and after feeling among them and selecting one, raised her trunk, ana neatly stripped down the stem, taking ofif all the lower branches, and leaving a fine bunch on top. She de- liberately cleaned it down several times, and then laying hold at the lower end broke off a beautiful fan, or switch about five feet long, handle included. With this she kept the flies at bay, flipping them off on each side. • " Say what we may, these are both really bona Jide implements, each intelligently made for a definite purpose." The Catbird, The catbird is one of the most interesting, and at the same time, most exasperating of birds. He seems to give up all his time to the pleasure of hearing himself talk. He is a first cousin of the mockingbird â€" whom he resembles in person much more than ip voice. As a matter of fact, his jerky utter- ance is so strikingly harsh that some one has aptly termed it asthmatic. The catbird is unmistakably a Bohemian. He is exquisitely formed has a beautiful slate-gray coat, set off by a black head and tail by natuoe he is peculiarly gr.acff il and when he chooses, can pass for the must polished of the cultured Philistint- aristoc- racy. But he cares nothing for ;U1 this. W^ith the laziness of a self-indulgent Bohe- mian, he sits by the hour with relaxed mus- cles, and wings and tail drooping listlessly. His cousin is an artist, but heâ€" -is he wag as well as a caricaturist, or is he in sober earnest when he tries to mimic a Wil- son's thrush If he is a wag, he is a suc- cesslul one, for he deceives the unguarded into believing him a robin, a cat, and â€" " a bird new to science " How he must chuckle to himself over the enthusiasm with which his notes are hailed in their different charac- ters, and the bewilderment and crestfallen disgust that come to the more diligent ob- server when he finally catches a glimpse of the garrulous mimic. He builds his nest as he does everything else. The great loose mass of coarse twigs, heaped together and patched up with pieces of newspaper or anything that happens to come in His way, looks as if it would hardly bear his weight. He lines it, however, with fine bits of dark roots, and when the beauti- ful gieen e^s are laid in it, you feel sure that such an artistic lookmg bird must take a peculiar pleasure in the contrastmg colors. i J High trees have an unsocial aspect, and so we find him in low bushes on the edge of a river, or even by the side of the garden, enjoying the sun and his own company. it to ia ttenBafiu d tM, ^lo wnt oili in M to tarn tiie s^t A OMinX officer tells of another ehimp- anwe^Mlwd a French man-ofwarTiIio »«Bste a»«»k, tnmStm cnpetan. ud fnrls â- *d as i»e9 as any ef ttd auW^ aod Lord liiMlKkUoueagmTely to ranted that apes conld trik^rtaill enough, but that their saperior oniming told tSem to hold their tragues, lest they should be put to hard woik. *^ ienuSUDlehi _, _^mieii^ttmWfofdWl.eiBiidr ^d lime, i^mildSa into bricks, for tiie iL^*^"f* â- '"iij^ **«â-  brief woiCfc f i^ and » mnHStednotor of keafc. :^,;^(iiB«Bi(^' pni^tiee of tvbdea faintinc;' «»" *o,4May^ ^t^id Bfbl^iiieh re. m»aia.

It is curious what a variety of materials Baltimore orioles will use in the wnstruc- tion of their nests. In the lawn of one of the prettiest homes in the State of Mary- land a pair of orioles selected a tree in which to build. It was a large fir-tree, about forty -five feet from the house. The lady of the house was sewing by one of the windows opposite this iaree early one beautiful sum- mer morning, and on being called away to some other room, she placed her spool of cotton on the window-sill. When she re- turned she found the spool was gone, and on looking for it, discovered on the floor of the porch which was just outsida of the window.- She found that a consider- able length of the cotton was unwound, and lookins; for the end of it she traced it up to the nest of the oriole, and saw the bird busily weaving it Into the nest. The lady placed the spool in the window, and it was shown as a curiosit]* to all who visited the house An Attractive Yolcano- A correspondent ofxfthe San Francisco Alta Calijomia writea Your Central Amer- ican correspondent was recently at lizalco, the most active and most attractive of the volcanoes of Central America. It never harms anybody. There is a church at its base, its buttressed walls quite eighteen feet thick. It has stood the rockings and racket of daily quakes throng i 180 years. Three great bells, each weighing 1,000 pounds, and constituted quite one half of silver, are suspended in the church yard. â-  They are often tolled by Izalco when the jolly mountain is in a rollicking good humor, or perhaps when it is " colicky." Its ex- plosions occur at intervals of from three to five and fifteen minutes. Now and then the great vent for explosive forces within are hermetically sealed for five or six hours, and even longer. Then the country has ague fits and San Salvador is shaky, and the pre- scribed path of earthquakes, which is about twenty-five miles wide, is " rattled." This, toG is thn width of the coalbeds alojg this route of earthquakes. Beneath the coal is the river of oil that is on fire at Izalco. There coal, oil, and a stream of water meet. Ejich explosion of the mountain emits two columns, one of black smoke from the burn- ing oil, the other of white steam from Bio Caliente, which runs out from beneath the mountain and crosses the railway five miles from the volcano. The water is so hot that it peeled the hair of my mule's leg that crossed it a few days ago. When an explo- sion occurs in Izalco, not only do ;these two columns of steam and of smoke rise up among the clouds, but great stones and ashes andscorise and vast volumns of lavaare emit- ted. The greater portion of all this measure- less volumn of earthly mineral substances falls back into the crater,- closing it aud rest- ing on it as a mighty valve. Great masses earth and stone fall in from the inferior of the monntian side, and then the valve is heavier and deeper and broader than usual, and then the oil must bum longer, and greater and more resistless volumns of gas must be produced. The flames rage, the waters boil, gas and steam and smoke ex- plode at last, and the country along the earthquake's or coal measure's route is rude- ly shaken, and the thunders of the universe are heard roairing through the vast distances in measureless caverns beneath Izsdco.'° ed to.jenabli^ them if pae^Uetorc|pdno^. iioimineas^ ' f-.

McD. Allan, of Goderich, in his address dealt with the question of markets for Canadian apples. .Mr. Allen spent four months in the Old Country last summer, interviewing buyers and others in- terested in handling Canadian fruits. His inipretsion was confirmed that Canada can grow the finest apples in the world â€" the happy medium in climate and soil producing the highest excellence in flavor, form and color. Our apples have taken British buy- ers by storm, and consumers there will not purchase any others so long as they can ob- tain a suitable article from us. Generally speaking, it is a mistake to ship on consign- me»t to any but the three great distributing centres of. trade, London, Liverpool and Glasgow. Fruit shipped direct to London is li ible to more damage than when shipped via Liverpool and thence by rail to London. A very fine line of business was opened list ' ear with buyers for Norway, Sweden and Denmark, and by care in selecting and pack- ing this trade may be largely increased. A good tiade can be established with these countries in dried fruits as well as canned goods. Then with fast steamships on the Pacific Ocean connecting with the Canadian Pacific railway our apples will find a profit- able market in the far East. The trade in our own Northwest has already assumed wonderful proportions, with this desirable feature, that it is a market for our early and fall apples that would otherwise be of com- paratively little value. Of fall varieties our Gravenstein is sure of ready s^le at high prices. This 8ea.«on it has sold] as high as $6 per barrel. St. Lawrence has made $4.20 and Calvert $J.05 for good samples. Ship- pers should provide good storage, so that varieties could be sent forward. in proper season when the market deina,nd is best for each variety. sights that cause a sense trf fear and dread oonabined with great grief, nor to sighta which ^I1 forth pabi'and agony in man or in. the lower animala. To avoid prematura old age in mature life, the following are important points to re- member Grief anticipates age, DwelUng on the inevitable pa^t, forming vain hypotheses as' to what might have been if this or that had or had not been, scquirinif a craze for re- countering what hus occurred â€" these acts do more harm to future health and effort than inany things connected with calamity. Occupation and new pursuits are the best preventives for mental shock and bereave- ment. Hate anticipates age. Hate keeps the heart always at full tension. It gives rise to oppression of the brain and senses. It confuses the whole man. It robs the stomach ot nervous power, and, digestion being impaired, the failure of life begins at once. Those, therefore, who are born with this passion â€" and a good many, I fear, are â€" should give it up. Jealousy anticipates age. The facial ex- pression of jealousy is old age, in however young a face it may be cast. Jealousy preys upon and kills the heart. So, jealous men are not only unhappy, bnt broken hearted, and live short lives. I have never known a man of jealous nature to live any- thing like a long life or a useful life. The prevention of jealousy is diversion of mind toward useful and unselfish work. Unchastity anticipates age. Everything that interferes with chastity favors vital de- terioration, while the grosser departures from chastity, leading to specific and here- ditary disease, axe certainly causes of or ganic degeneration and premature old age. Thus chastity is preventive of senile decay. Intemperance anticipates age. The more the social causes of mental and physical or- ganic diseases are investigated, the more closely the origin of degenerative organic changes leading to premature deterioration and decay are questioned, the more closely does it come out that intemperance, often not suspected by the person himself who is implicated in it, so subtle is its influence, is at the root of the evil. When old age has really commenced, its march coward final decay is best delayed by attention to those rules of conservation by which life is sustained with the least friction and the least waste. The prime rules for this purpose are To subsist on light but nutritious diet, with mCk as the standard food, but varied according to season. To take food in moderate quantity, four times in the day, including a light meal be- fore going to bed. To clothe* warmly but lichtly, so that the body may, in all seasons, maintain its equal temperature. To keep the body in fair exercise, and the mind active and cheerful. To maintain an interest in what is going on in the world, and to take part in reason- able labors and pleasures, as though old age were not present. To take plenty of sleep during sleeping hours. To spend nine hours in bed at the least, and take care durine cold weather that the temperature of the bedi-oom is maintain- ed at 60® Fah. To avoid passion, excitement, luxury.

About a year ago Miss Blanche Bnswell, daughter of Mrs. John G. Buswell of West Troy, went to California to visit her sister. While there she met C. G. Walkerly. a wealthy merchant and man ifacturer. " The couple were married. A ort time since Walkerly died, leaving no r Natives but his wife, and his whole fortuiu amounting to between $6,000,000 and $7,0 JO.OOO, will be inherited by his wife. Wa^erly was about 60 years of age and his wife about 24 years of age. Mrs. Walkerly, it is expected, will resume her residence with her mother in West Troy shortly. Nothing can be worse for the quality of a man's labour than for him to imagine that the sphere in which he works is a 1 jw or an unimprovable one. Once let this notion be fastened upon him, and he cannot help re- garding his occupation with some degree of contempt, and feeling bi'i self in a measure degraded by it. One of two results will al- ways follow-either he will leave it and strain after something else for which he may be less fitted or, remaini ig in it, he will give to it half his powers, and perform it only half as well as he is capable of doing.

It is tending toward the only true ideal of lifelong companionship a partner- ship on equal terms, with equal give-and- take on both sides.
