eggs. in a nrst thickly lined with her
_ beautiful down. the collectors after care‘

to NM it for the third time. va. how-

baustt-d, and with n plaintive voice she
culls her mate to her assistance, who
willingly plucks the soft feathers from
his breast to aupply the deficiency. If
the cruel robbery be again repeated,

case. the poor eidor‘duck nbaudons the

that time I was assigned to the care of
two guards to do menial duties with the
squaws.
“For eighteen months I scraped hides
and stood the rough racket of an Indian

squaws took a great. fancy to me, and
through her aid 1 saw a chance for as-

moonlight night. I left. The outfit had n
big celebration, and mescal had the best
of their brains. One of my guurds was
asleep. the other doling. My hand went
over the mouth of one and my knife
through his heart at the same instant.
My other guard was similarly treated. I
crawled out of the sleepinu camp through

one. I’lutarch says that Ilemo‘sthena

to rehearse his ovations and mango his

’I here were two serious objections to
metallic mirrors—their weight and the
fact that they Were liable to distort the
features of those looking into them. The
latter was. of course. (illensiveto ancient
ham: and belles. and led to the substitu-

At Mairano, glass mirrors were first
made after the Illzlllllt'l' suggested by
Aristotle by placing it metallic sheet
back of the glass. The experiment: did
not prove satisfactury. and metal mirrors

Wonderful success :ittr-uded the enter.

them from the other glass-makers. and

benefit.
