Pierre was. to go ?shore for the first time Id more thau jl year. The captain had promised that in the morning be would accom pany the men who were going to look (or fresh water. - The next morning, with his beloved blunder buns borne upon his shoulder, Pierre stepped proudly on the beach, ready and anxious to meet the savage men and curious wild beasts he felt sure he was going to see. Shortly before dinner time it was proposed that some of the sailors should try to shoot a few of the birds of which the forest seemed so full; for fresh meat to a sailor is one of the greatest of luxuries, and It seemed u pity to d" without it when it was di rectly at hand. Her ? was au oppor tunity which Pierre did not let pass. He entreated his commanding officer so earnestly to let him be one of the shooting party that consent was given. Pierre, blunderbuss in hand, and three sailors started for the forest. An hour later, the three men bur -ied lown to the beach laden with ?ame, but without Pierre. Where he ivas they did not know; they bad missed him more than half an hour 1>* fore, and supposed ho bad returned to the beach. "Here be Is now." suddenly ex claimed one of the men. And there, indeed, he was, hatless snd in haste. As quickly as his short legs could carry him, he was tearing through the underbrush; and as he drew nearer the men on the bcach could see that he,was frightened. When he reuched the alarmed sailors, be sank, panting and exhausted, on the sand. To their hurried questions he could only gasp out, "After me!" aiul point to the forest. Whereupon tbey all gathered eagerly about him to bear bis story. "After we bad gone about two miles Into the forest," be begau, "1 left the others, bccausc I thought we would see more game in two parties tbun in one. "A little while after 1 bad left tbem 1 saw what looked like a large round white stone in the thick brusb. 1 thought 1 might as well lind out what It was, and made my way to it, and. 1 give you my word, it was a great big egg ? almost as big as a tar ? bucket. I made up my mind to carry it back to the ship to take home, though it was heavy; but while I stood with it in my arms, brushing off the dirt that was on the under side, I heard a rustling in the bushes, and then 1 thought there must have been a big bird to lay that enormous egg, and then I shook so that I nearly dropped the egg. "I got behind a tree near by and stooped down so I could see tbrougb the bushes what kind of a bird was coming. "I never saw such a thing In my life before! Maybe you won't believe me, but that bird made so much noise us it tame through the bushes that I thought it was a herd of rattle. And when It came to where I could see it, each of its legs looked as big around as my leg, and it was as tall as a email tree. And such a beak as it hud! "It went directly to the spot where the egg had been, and then I was frightened, for I knew if it caught me with the egg I'd be eaten up in a minute. Hut I didn't dare to move. When the monstrous creature missed the egg, it set up an uwful squawk. Then 1 dropped the egg niul ran in the direction that seemed the clearest of trees. "The bird ran, too. for I could hear it crashing through the bushes, and I expected every minute to be taken in its big mouth. By und by I couldn't run any more, and fell down, when tive big birds similar to the one I had alread seen came leapiug along straight at me. "I lifted my gun, but before I could shoot, the first bird had run over ine and knocked me down. . "I jumped up aud ran, and I didn't stop running till I found you, and here 1 am." "Is that all?" asked one of the men, sarcastically, when Pierre had ceased speaking. "Yes," answered the boy. "Well," said the man. "if I were go ing to make up a yarn I'd try to have it reasonable, or end in something ex citing." "But I didn't make it up!" exclaimed Tierre, indignantly. "All I'm sorry for." said one of the men. "is that he didn't bring the egg with him. It would have made such 1 rare omelet." At this the snilors laughed. As long as Pierre lived he was known as Big-Bird Pierre, for he could get nobody to believe him. Since his time, however, more lins been learned of Madagascar, the island where Picriw landed; and though nobody has seen n living bird such as Pierre described, eggs and skeletons of birds have been found, and, judging from them, it is no wonder that the little French boy was frightened. The egg is larger ^han a football and would, it Is calculated, hold as much as 1GO hens' eggs. As for the bird, it was of the same family as the ostrich, but was more than twice as tall, and proportionately lien tier, so that. tow?r I ing as it did a man's height above the ] tallest elephant. It must have been a startling bird to see for the first time unexpectedly. The aepyornis, as the bird Is called, does not exist now. but Mr. Wallace, the great naturalist, thinks that all the indications are that it may have lived within the last two centuries.

" *** Althoogli pacing utedatn trotting by MTtral hundred |?n, and the first bantcn race horses on this continent were the Nsrraganeett pacers, it Is curious to obsenre that the popularity of pacing races Is of comparatively recent origin. Descendants ot the Nar ra&ansetts were seen In the States bor dering on the Atlantic Ocean years be fore, as well as at the time when trot tiug rsces first received popular ap proval ou Long Island, at Boston. Phil adelpbla. Trenton and other points in the Eastern States. These pacers, as s rule, were very speedy, but for some reason the public 4W not care for pac ing races, and except at some unim portant meetings, where contests be tween local pacers sad trotters were arranged, there were no pacing races of any consequence lu tbe Northern Ststes until 167S. Notwithstanding tbe fact tbat tbe de velopment of the pacer was hsndl capped by reason of there being no classes msde for bim In the early his tory of light harness raciug, still there were people in those days who loved the lateral gait, and occasionally fitted a horse of this kind for raciug. A1 tbougb until the past few years the trotters acquiring standard records out numbered the pacers many times, yet from tbe besiuning the pacing gait has ever been the faster. What effect the barriug of the pacer from racing contests and the prejudice against him by prominent breeders and horsemen had u)>on tbe evolution of the two minute harness horse years before he finally appeared Is a matter of cou> Jecture. But tbat many of the per formers who are compelled to adopt an unnatural trotting gait by wearing so much weight on their front feet as greatly to handicap their speed devel opmcnt, would have made much lower records at pacing than they did at trotting there can be no doubt. Smug gler was a natural pacer, and it was ssid could show two-miiuite speed at tbe pace when not carrying weight But. as when he was at the meridian of his prowess, the trotting gait was tbe more popular, he was made to carry fully two pounds on each front foot in order to make* him trot, ?nd yet with thift burden be trotted a mile and ac* quired a record of 2.15%, which was at least ten second slower than his known ability at the pacing gait when not thus handicappc^).?

"The man to whom 1 was appren ticcd told me this, and I thought the idea absurd. We were working late one night, and he called my attention to a lot of watches we had regulated and ready to deliver. It was near midnight, and every watch was slow The better time-pieces bad lagged be hind some seconds. The cheapei watches were a minute or more out of the way. Next morning every one of the lot was exactly right.

When at home the pony is left very much to himself, and during his ear lier years runs wild. But he is easily reformed, and speedily abandons his wild and odd ways and becomes a de voted friend of man and an admirable worker. So great is their affeetion for the ponies that the islanders never kill them, but wben they are too old for work they allow them to return to the fields and hills and live out the rest of their days in peaee. Sometimes the old animals, in their wanderings for food, will fall over eliffs and so perish They still reach the age of thirty years or more in their native land, and there is a ease on record? but it is probably apocryphal? of a Sheltie which livwi to be a hundred years old Like every other good thing for which a demand bf.s arisen, the prices of Sheltie have Increased in recent years. There has been for a considera ble period a large export trade in the I>onies, of which there were at one time 10.000 in the islands, but, according to Government returns, the number is now about half. In the eighteenth century it was possible to obtain a good Sheltie for fifty shillings (about $12). and the average price in 1801) was $3 more. Half a century ago a pony could be bought for from $7 to $:K>, but in 1871 males ranged from $40 to $50, the mares fetching only half that sum. as they were not suitable for pit work, for which the Shelties were mostly needed. Since then prices have greatly advanced, and large sums are obtained for choice specimens of the pony, especially when they are wanted for children's use. A yearling will now command from $r?0 upward. The Shel tie cannot be worked until it is three or four j-ears old. and docs r.ot reach maturing until it is nged eight or nine years.?
