I " Why_don't yoa send that child ta He looki a bright Vwy, and it'a a ahoold trifle away his time liice â- ohoal 7 pity he that." So spoke a tUl, well-dreeaed man who was standing beside the coaater of a hip- chandler's shop in cue of the Wikter-side streets of the old Scottish seaport of Green .ock. The door of the ianer room happened to be open, and through it could be see the chandler's younger son â€" a slender, laryre- eyed, delicate looking^ little fellow of six years old â€" who, kneeliag upon the hearth- stone, seemed to be drawing strange figures all over it with a a piece of colored onslk. As the visitor spoke a slight flush of dis- Eleasure passed over the father's rough face; at in another moment it gave place to a smile of quiet amusement. " Weel, sir," said he, in his broad Scotch accent, " will ye just look what he's " trifl in^ away his time' wi' as ye ca' it t" The other stepped softly forward, and loAing over the shoulder of the unconscious cmld, saw to has ameement that this aix- year-old boy was drawing a mathematical diagram, and marking each line in turn with letters or figures, with which he seem- ed to be working out acne kind of calcula- tion. "Does he really understand all that?" asksd the visitor in a whisper. " Ask him yourael'" replied the chandler quietly. The other rid so, and the boy, not at all disturbed at findiog himself face to face with a perfect stranger, answered so clearly and readily that the questioner was astonished. "He must take a good deal of time to play too, though," looking around the room, "if he uses all these toys that you've bought for him." " That I've bought for him ' echoed the father, with abroad laugh. "Man, he's made every one o' them himsel'" " Made every one of those toys himself " cried the visitor, staring. '• Ay, just as you see. I bought him a box o' tools a wee while since, and this is what he's done wi' them." " Well, upon my word, you may well be proud of him. He's certainly a most un- common child, and 1 beg your pardon sin- cerely for speaking so foolishly about him as I did jast now." II. " Weel, neighbor, has hs been a good lad- dxe?" The "laddie" in question, was the ship- chandler's clever son (now a smart though rather delicate boy of fourteen), who had been on a visit to an English friend in Glas- gow, and the speaker was his mother, who had come to fetch him home again. " Good " echoed the hostess. " He's made us all jump out of our.ekins, that's what he's done. " The mother looked puzzled, as well she might. " It's not that he's been behaving badly," continued hsr friend. " He's as good as gold, bless him But as sure as we get settled round the fire at night, he begins telling all sorts of stories out of his own head, some so sad that they set us all cry- ing.like babies, and some so terrible that we daren't look behind us and that way he keeps U3 tp every night till pretty neskr twelve o'clock, for when once he's begun a story you can't budge till ypu've heard how it ended. I dop't blame him neither, for (as his brother Jcfin* says) he can't sleep at night, poor lad and so oj course he don't catre to go to bed. But if he was to stay another week he'd drive me clean crtzy, as sure as I stmd here. ' With this good character our hero went back to Greenock but it seemed to be "out of the frying pan into the fire " with him, for the verv next evening bis mother, coming home to tea, found him getting a terrible scolding from the shrill,voice of bis old aunt " I ne'er saw sic \a idle in a' my days.

The term night hawk is commonly applied to several speoiea, all of which have certain pecoliaritiea. from ita oariooa ory one ia called chnck-will's-widow, this call being utteted ao loudly by the bird that it hat been heard for nearly a mile. About the middle of March they come back from their winter pilgrimage and, unlike most of the birda, they have no housekeeping to keep them busy, as th^ boild no neata. Whfle the robins, humming birds, thmshea, and others, are busily soourins the conntxy for material with which to huUd their nnraeriea, the chuok-will'a-widow is fast aaleep.in some out-of-the-way corner, only coming out in the afternoon and evening to gather ita sup- ply of food. When the time oomea for laying, our eeeminglylszy bird selects some secluded spot, and deposits her eggs anywhere on the ground and the very first glimpse, if we are fortunate in finding them at all, explains why she builds no nest. The eggs are almost the exact color of the surroundings, and so mottled and tinted tiiat only by the merest accident! are they discovered and when the two little chuck-will's-widows finally come out they are even more difficult to find than the egg». Being very sleepy little fellows they rarely move, and, though standing within a few inches of them, the observer might suppose them to be two old brown leaves or a btmoh of brown moss, so deceiv- ing is their mimicry. â€"[St. Nicholas.

Tbe bicycle force that has been organizad in connection with the English volunteers recently had its second field manoeuvres, the first havine been held at Easter. Rainy and disagreeable weather embarrassed the troops on each of these dates, but the result of the turn-out has been very satisfactory. On the recent trials the men covered about 100 miles in forty-eight hours, fighting, scouting and camping sy the way. There were seventeen offisers and seventy -seven men out, made up of representatives of a number of the leading volunteer regiments. The frrce was divided into two bodies, one retreating and the other following it. At frequent intervals the retreating force made stands at bridges and other eligible points of defence, and the pursuers were compelled to halt, dismount, send out a skirmish line, and perform all the other preliminaries of attack, as though at active war. It was found that two or three men left behind by the retreating body could make a show of force at a bridge that would greatly delay the advance of a pursuing force, and then could mount and swiftly ride away under cover of a hedge and escape to the main body. This ability to fighc and run away with greater facility than the-ordinary in- fantryman is one of the chief points urg-^:! by the bicyclers in favor of the new " arm. " It is] said that scoutitig and reco.nolrerii^g parties mounted upon bicycles could do much more effective work without risk oi capture than men on foot. In these man- oeuvres, although the retreatin? force num- bered but threeofficers and twelve men, they succeeded in delaying the pursuers so that it took them three hours to cover a distance easily made in less then two when no obstacles are interposed. Three ot the retreating force dallied too long at a bridge, and were ridden down and captured by a detachment of the enemy. There were no Other losser. The chief difficulty experienced wae due to the number of parallel roads occasionally con- verging that ran through the country trav- ersed. The retreating party had to keep sdouts constantly ahead picking up the lay of the land and bringing in reports to protect themselves from the danger of being flanked on some of these roads and cut of entirely at a ^n verging point. In a country with one good main road and but few side roads the success of a bicycle corps in obstructing the passage of an enemy would be much greater. Bicycles have not yet been introduce in the British regular army, but if their aucoess among the volunteers oontinuea, it is ex peoted that a similar corps will be organized in each regular regiment. fioogh on the Dndes. B*bert t^mim MevenseB's B«wy^»g«^.*- In 1823, inriag • revolution fci Fern, a number of wealthy residents of Lima ph»rt- •red a brig of 300 toMi, to OWBJ S^m their propertj in money andjewelrv, and a lar^ qnuitity of monutio pUte. It |a aaid that there were douMoona to ths Talne of two milliona sterling, and a vaat aom in jplate. But after the treaanre waa on boar* and when its «jwneff, came doiro to the be wh. they found the veaael gone. AnEagUabmar, a Ueateaant in the Peruvian n*vy» hearieg of the intended flight, had gone on board with a chosen band, and liad cntont the brig within hail of a Peruvian man-of-war. He steered right acroes the Pacific, and in course of time reached the Marianne lalanda, hi tbe Pacific Ocean, whei 3 the treamre waa boried. A course waa th en made for Honolnln. But before reaching thia port quarrela broke out among the piratea, and the Lieutenant, with hia two offioera and a cabin boy, liaving aet fire to the vessel, got into a boat and left the crew. One of the cffi yen waa murdered and thrown overboard before the boat reached Honolulu. There the party repreaented themselves as the survivors of a shipping disaster. The Lieutenant, before leaTiiw Lima nad been in love with a lady, the wife of a Peruvian officer who waa slain in the revolution, and, before teking farther steps with regard to the treasure, decided to send for her. The cabin boy waa deapatched aa emissary to Lima, but on his arrival there he was seized and imprisone«' and the lady refused to have uiything further to do with a man whtm she styled a detestable pirate. The Lieutenant and his aole remidning companion thereupon chartered a email fore- and-aft schooner, the Swallow, commanded by one Capt. Thompson, and proceeded to the Mariannes for hia treasure. Thompson tried hard to get a charter for a specified port) or porta, but the Lieutenant insisted on a brotMi charter, including ny or all the Mariannes. One evening when they were in sight of thetslanda, the Lieutenant, who waa sitting on the lee rail chatting with his companion, was, it is conjectured, tipped overboard by the latter and disappeared. The usual alarm was raised, but the Lieu- tenant's body was never recovered. Thomp- son, from certain scrapa of converaation which he had overheard, having suapected the object of tHe voyage, overhauled the dead Lieutenant's effects, and among them found a chart of the Island on which the treasure was hidden, but with the name omitted. Soon afterward he dghted another brig, with the master of wiiich he waa acquainted, and they arranged to search for the treasure and divide it between them, giving the surviving pirate a share on condi- tion that he consented to point out the spot, but with a threat if he did not do so he would forthwith be handed over to the Span- ish authorities. At a concerted moment the pirate was seiz )d by both Captains, and the conditions named. He nodded. They asked him if he would indicate the situation of the treasure. He nodded. They asked if this was the island, pointing to the nearest of the group. He again nodded. They invited him to step into a boat which had been lowered.and guide them to the treasure. He nodded oube more. Afterward he went below, and filled his pockets with lead and iron. Then going down the ladder, he pushed off the boat with one foot from the side of the schooner, and dropped feet first into the sea. Until within two years ago there was alive one ot the boat's crew, who, snatching at the suicide's hair to save him as he sank, plucked from his head a handful of hair, but could not raise the heavily- weighted body, Thia put an end to the treasure hunting. The chart went into the possession of the Sp3uilBh authorities. The British schooner Nerold recently sailed from J^^pan aa far as Guam, a small island belonging to the Marianne group, in search of the (juried treasure. But while the Captain, who intended to sail for Yap, in the Carolines, was on shore, it was carried off either by his mate or two Japanese, or by all three, these being the only persons on boord. As no trace of the vessel has been found, there is still some mystery about the affdkir. Meanwhile the Captein of the Nereid, who holds or believes he holda the due to tho secret of all this wealth, has lost everything. Whatever may be thought of this ex traordinary story, what is beyond any ques- tion, says the Japan Mial, is that an Englidi shipmaster in Yokohama, at the commence- ment of tbe present year, set out in a schooner, built under hiao wn anperviaionand belonging to himaelf, to search for tiie treaa- nre supposed to be hidden more then dxty yearsago among the coral ialmda of the North Pacific, and that hia crew ran away with his vessel and have not since been heard of. Possibly they, too, have detennined to recover the treasure on their own aooount. The story was taken down from the month of the Captain himself. Heazly Exhausted.

Dur- ing Divine service a jackdaw, belonging to Mr. Scapleton Cotton, made ita way into tbe sacred edifice with the congregation, and not only took a lively part in the responses, but also became exceedingly talkative at other time.. The wholi congregation were in a titter, the clergyman himself with difficulty kept a straight face, while the school chil- dren present broke out into open laughter. Things became so bad that the clergyman was compelled to order the children out of the church. Then an effort was made to capture the intruder, which had perched it- self boldly upon the reading desk. The bird, however, flew to the rafters above, where it remained (still talkative) till the end of the service. Leamine: a Daa£;eroiis Thing.

In 1887 there were in Ontario 800' cheese factoriei, with 43,000 patrons and 270,00} cows, yield- ing 650,000,000 pounds of milk, which m made into 66,500.000 lbs. of cheese, bringing in the market $7,000,000. Cdinada supplied Great Brit tin with 66 000,000 Ibj. of cheese, as against 143,000,000 lbs. of cheese sent from all other coaairies. On Monday at midnight, aaya the New York Star, three dudes, dressed in the height of fashion, who were returning to their homes in Brooklyn, amused themselves by overturning ash barrels. Their actiona were watched by an officer atanding in the shade of a near-by tree. As they passed under the spreading branches of the tree the policeman came from his ambush, and, stopping the trio, said: "This is nice, gentlemanly conduct. No doubt to you it's rare fun. Now, if you want to avoid dis- grace and tbe loss of $10 each you must) come back wish me and I'll ahow you what to do." '-Oh, only a little joke, old man," explain- ed one of the dudea. But the officer was obdurate and made the fellows inarch back to overturned barrel No' 1. "Now, ' said the policeman, "place the barrel in its proper position, gather the ashes and rubbiah and place tum in tiie barrel." "Bat anrely you don't mean that," ex- claimed one of the mi«rfng VbAm in horror. "Do what I My, or I'U arreat yon,** replied the officer.
