BIRDS AS SUR3E0N8.
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

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
