Notes. V A one o! the Queer Feathered Inhabit- i nuts 9!` New zealand. _ Among the feathered inhabitants of i New Zealand there is a bird called. the parson bird, or tui. It is about the size and shape of a blackbird, but has a pair of delicate white tufts at its , throat and is a glossy dark green oth- erwise, which looks black in the sun- light. It can be taught to` crow, to speak, to whistle tunes, and besides ' these tricks it has a repertory which is not often equaled by any other feathered songster. At Vespers it has a note like the toll of a bell or the clear high noteot an organ. It can mic every bird in the bush to pertectidh; it will `break oil.` in the middle of an ex- quisite melodyand indulge in a strange medley oi. sounds which are impossible I to describe, but it you can imagine.the I ' combination of a cough, a laugh; a ' sneeze. with the smashing of a pane of glass, it will be some approach to the . idea. ~ ,_ A`,,_I_- _ __.-___ No hungan be " " agar yet made a cesl twins" to also cereal itthat person w,i\iEj;n iuccess.

There is" a pathetic account of Mo- liere s last appearance which shows the supreme` courage which sickness could notdissipate and which was a part of him till death. His healthhad long been falling and he had suffered for years `with a distressing cough. which rapidly became worse. On the day of the third presentation` of La Malade 1 Imagir.'\lre," 1673, he was so ill thati his wife and friends entreated him not I to perform. But he was deaf to their 3 appeals. What can I do? he said. 3 There are forty workmen who have ` only their daily pay to live upon. and they will lose that if I do not act. I should reproach myself if I neglected to give them their bread for a single day. `Though more than usually in- dlsposed, he went through his part with great dliculty. Once during the per- formance the company could not but see that he was convulsed, but he pass- ed it off with a forced laugh. When it was over he left the stage,;saying to his friends, The cold is killing me. He was wrapped up warmly. and his chair man sent to convey him to his home. No sooner washe in bed than he was seized with a violent t of coughing, which brought on a, hemor- rhage, .and he `died before his wife could reach his side. His last words were to assure his friends that the hemorrhage was not alarming in any way and urging them to take` courage. Done That Are supposed to Possess V . 1 Magic` Quality. Some Japanese mirrors are supposed to possess a magic quality, which has rendered them objects of superstitious reverence for centuries, and, in fact, -it has even puzzled modern science not a little. When a strong beam of light is soreected from one of them as to be thrown upon a screen, there appears upon the screen an image in delicate tracery perfectly reproducing the pat- tern engraved in relief. on the back of the mirror, which, of course, is alto- gether hidden from the -- light. Inas- much as the taceof the mirror presents a surface thateis perfectly smooth. ap- parently the reason for this phenome- non is dimcuit to find. Its cause. how- ever, is simple enough. The prelimi- nary operation ot polishing the face consists in scoring the cast-disk with a sharp tool in every direction. _.' nu.- An-2-|_-.. ..-..4.:-..... _.I......... 4.1.... -- A Pecullm-lty of Ghosts.
