Tha Intelllireat Maimer In Wbleh Sttlpe Treat Their Wounds. Some interesting observations relat ing to the surgical treatment ot wounds by birds were recently brought by M. Patio before the Physical society of Geneva. He quotes the ease of the snipe, which he has often ob served engaged in repairing damages, With its beak and feathers it makes a very creditable dressing, applying piaster to bleeding wounds, and even securing a broken limb by means of a stout ligature. On one occasion he killed a snipe which had on the breast a large dressing composed of down taken from other parts of the body and securely fitted to the wound by the coagulated blood. Twice he had brought home snips with interwoven feathers strapped on to the site of the fracture of one or other limb. The most interesting ex ample was that of a snipe both of whose legs he had unfortunately broken by a misdirected shot He re covered the animal only on the day f oh lowing, and he found that the poor bird had contrived to apply dressing and a sort of splint to both limbs. Is carrying, ont this operation some feathers had become entangled around the beak, and not being able to use ita claws to get rid of them It was almost dead from hunger when discovered. In a case recorded by M. Magnin, a snipe which was observed to fly away with a broken leg was subsequently found to have forced the fragments into a paral lel position, the . upper fragment reach ing to the knee, and secured them by means of a strong band of feathers and moss intermingled. The observers were particularly struck by the appli cation of a ligature ot a kind ot flat leafed grass wound round the limb, of a spiral form and fixed by means ot ft sort of glue. Medical Hecord. A Valuable Vole. There are heights to be reached In every profession, 'and it is not to be wondered at if those of his own profes sion are considered superior to those of any other by the enthusiastic artist Martin, the popular French singer, lounti tooa lor reuection In an experi ence which he had with a cab driver! The incident is related by the author of "Souvenirs d'un Chantenn:" Martin had a voice of great compass and most agreeable sound, of which he was de cidedly proud; He had 'weakness for drawing out compliments upon it One day as he was being driven through the streets of Paris in a cab he saw some one passing carelessly In front of the cab and in danger of being run over. "Whoa!" he cried, fa his most sonorous tones. The coachman turned around excitedly. "0! monsieur!" he cried, "what a beautiful 'whoa!' Ahl if I only had a voice like that!" "Well, what would yon do if you had?" asked Martin, with a smile, believing that he had been recognized, and pleased at , the idea that his reputation extended even to the driven in the street, "What would I do, monsieur? Faith, 1 should become the first coachman in Farisl" Youth's Companion. Dipping Hp Bioe Bird. The Charleston Newstells some mar velous stories about the abundance of rice birds in the dikes and marshes back of that city. There are always . plenty of them for the sportsmen and caterer at this season of the year, but never before have they been seen in such swarms, darkening the air as they flit from place to place. They have almost ceased to be a target for shotguns, and are so thick and close ' together that they are caught with ft dip net like so many fish. One ama teur marksman reports that with two discharges of his shotgun he brought down one hundred and eighty of the birds. TheNewssays: "The regular way now, however, ia to get a boat and a dip net and go among the ditches in the old rice fields and dip np the birds. A gentleman went out few night ago and returned with one thousand, two hundred and thirty-six birds. It required a wagon and two buckboards to carry them all home. Quite a considerable sum ha been, realised by several parties who em- burked in the rice-bird business. They am be bought on the plantations for mere song, and when Mean to to town are vM its at U tom&jhbf ejita4wa, WILD MORSES, Koala animal Left lo TheraMlTaa TVIU ltoqeiiarato Into Ponies. Mnny, ninny years ago a ship laden with Spanish horses went ashore on the sanls of CUineoteafTUU Isluud, on the eastern shore of Virginia, says the Rider and Driver. No man kuows when the ship went ashore or what port it sailed from or how many" horses were saved. It is known, however, that on the extreme edge of Chincoteiigue Island a ship bearing a cargo of horses to the now world from some port in Spain ended its voyage in a tcrriile Btorm, and that some of the horses found their way through the breakers to the barren waste of sand. These horses must have been of a high order of breed, for, though scores of years of privation and exposure have passed over his head, the wild horse ot this in hospitable and barren region is a most remarkable animal. He is smaller to day than his Spanish prototype, and lack ot care and exposure to the storms of this tempest-swept island has reduced the original horse to a rough, shaggy pony, yet all the years of degeneracy and vicissitude have not shorn him of his evidences ot blood his beauty, his intelligence and his fleetnesa The severity of the climate, the want of strengthening, nutritious food, have made their influence felt, not upon the spirit, but upon the body, of the castaway horse. Many of these ponies have been captured by the inhabitants of the region adjacent to the mainland and put to use, although the breaking and training of them is in some instances a very serious'job. The effect of years of unrestrained freedom noon his high-mettled blood has made thisisland horse waywardand jealousof his liberty.1 It usually requires the united strength ot four men to subdue one young horse. Notwithstanding, they are frequently conquered and tied down to the drudgery of farm work or may be seen palling the clam carts of Chineoteagne fishermen along the shell road of the Virginia or Maryland coast It is certain that inbreeding and privation, together with the rigors of a changeable climate, have had their effects in deteriorating this race of horses. With the first settlement of Australia by Europeans horses were introduced. Some of these escaped from control and soon reverted to the wild state. Thoy have multiplied and deteriorated in that sparsely peopled continent until they are as numerous as jack rabbits and a useless. They became such a nuisance that seven thousand of them were shot at one station in New South Wales. In nearly every country where the once domesticated horse has run wild he ho deteriorated. He has dwindled into a pony in Iceland and Shetland, Corsica and Sardinia, the mountainous regions of northern Europe, and the Cordilleras of America, There has a miniature horse originated during and since the wax in the prairies along the gulf coast from Mobile to the western limit of Louisiana. Many planters during the war allowed their thoroughbred mares to escape, and breeding in the wild state with the natives the size has gradually diminished until many of them do not reach thirteen hands, and few of them go over that - SOCIAL SUCCESS. A Woman Who WlehM to Be Agreeable ; Mast LUteo, Not Talk. A woman to be most agreeable must listen, says -Kate Field. Keep a man wound np. Look as though you were hanging on his lips and he'll think you charming. 1 or my part I like to listen. It's a great deal, better fun to make( others talk than to talk one s self. The listener never makes a fool of herself, because she says nothing. She cannot make enemies by the -expression of opinion, for she expresses none. .She j learns a deal about other people, and j nobody learna anything about her. She 1 gives no offense by egotistic assertion. ) The talkers call her sympathetic be- I cause she has allowed all to have their ' own way. I don't say that a woman ; should everlastingly hold her 'tongue : there are men who insist upon an in terchange of ideas; but it is always safe to start a man upon the subject of him self. Nine times out of -ten you will -touch the responsive chord and be en-, tertaiued, as everybody can talk well on what is nearest the heart. "You've mode an impression on Mr. Randall," said Bob, this morning. "He thinks yon remarkably intelligent. What did yon say to him?" , "Nothing," I replied, "i asked on1 occasional question and listened, fie talked about himself." , A woman may serve np wit or epi gram as an entremets, and be liked; i but I'm convinced that a woman who j monopolizes conversation is doomed to be hated. Woman in society is ' to be, man is to do. Beyond all other horrors are the shop-talking horrors. A wom an may translate Homer, write Rom ola, edit a newspaper, conduct impor tant business, or act Lady Macbeth, but she mast forget herself if she wants to be welcome in society. In fact, if a woman is not born nnsclfish let her as sume the noblest of all virtues, and, provided she dresses well, the will be admired. ' . Salarlaa of Hot Singers. The salary of a boy stopfer begins at forty dollars and is gradually raised from year to year according as he' dis plays ability until he :reecive as milch as three or four hundred dollars a year, The salaries of men singers vary great ly, because some churches are very poor and cannot afford to pay so much; they range all the way from one hundred dollars a year to one thousand dollars. Onee in awhile a very superior solo singer will receive twelve hundred dol lars a year. Rehearsals are held three or four times a week in the morning. I have kept a record, says a writer in the New York Epoch, of all the choristers who have ever been connected with Trinity church for the past twenty-one . years. We have employed' one hundred ' and seventy-two boys in that time and their average stay has been about five years. The lore ot the choral service seems to grow upon those who take part I $n it, got only La boys but in men, ' : m Tired Women Vast have strength or they will be In tb suffering despair of nervous prostration.
