ARCTIC BIRDS. I ' * ' MANY VARIETIES OP AQUATIC I AND LAND BREEDERS. k-; !" Peculiarities of the Summer Visitors L ?"Weird and Strange Crips ot the Loon Family ? One of Nature's Freaks. There is probably no richer field in the j world for the ornithologist than the Arc- j tic Ocean shores of Northwestern Alaska. During the months of May, Juue and until the latter part of August nearly every variety of aquatic bird travels over tho country. On the north bank of the Yukon to the ocean every pond and lake, slough and swatnp is fairly alive with members of the feathered family. Cape Lisburne cliffs, rearing their rocky activities from 300 to GOO feet above the sea, are a wonderful sight ia the early summer. Myriads of gulls of every species, auks, terns and old squaw ducks have their nests planted upon every little rock platform en the face of these cliffs f where a space is obtainable. Thusplanted the nests and their contents aie entirely secure from any spoliation by either man or fox. Before the ice leaves the shore line or even breaks up in the month of May the adult birds begin to arrive, and soon the pairing and nesting commence. The vnuns? are born earlv in .Tune and make their first flights toward the end of July. Scores of the ivory burgomaster and other types of gull are to be seen flying far over the leads in the ice, graceI fully p?ising in midair over the patches ' of water and swooping down in order to catch the young tomcods and other small fish fry that arrive in these waters at this period. CANADA. GOOSE. The air is alive with birds, their harsh cries and notes, although discordant, providing welcome sounds after the monotonous silence that has reigned during the winter months. At Point Barrow, when the open lanes of water appear through the ice-bound sea, the first indication of the approach of spring is tho arrival of eider ducks in rapid succession. The spectacled male eider, with its sombre brown colored mate, Stellar's eider and all the varieties of the eider family f N sweep along the edge of the ice pack in myriads. Far away to the north and east of the point the birds take their flight to lands yet unknown and undisJ covered. Cormorants, the auks terns, divers and loons do not breed north of the limit of seventy-one degrees latitude. Their nests lie in the swamp lands and among the lakes of the great north land. Geese of every variety?brown, black brant, Canada and common honker?are found , all over the Terrritory in the spring and summer season, the solitary exception beinrr tliA wire nnH hpaiififnl pmncrnr ornn<?P ?r that- has its habitation and breeding home only on the deltaed mouth of the Yukon. To the keen sportsman the multitude of ducks is simply bewildering. In the long daylight of nearly twenty-lour hours the air is resonant with their cries. The beautiful and grachful teal and his larger brother the mallard,are abundaut, while the fat little butter-ball furnish many meals for the hungry natives, i That rare duck known as the harlequin, owing to the many-colored plumage feathers of its head, finds its food on the salt water, but nests on land, and is a species much sought after by collectors. V On the dry, mossy spots of the tundra innumerable land birds of small type build their nest?. Each utter peculiar cries and notes, some becoming veritable 6ongsters during the breeding season. Warblers, thrush, sparrows, titmouse, Lapland longspurs and fiches are all visitors to the northern breeding grounds. Then, too, sailing along high in midair, with watchful eye over the laud for any THE LOON. stray mouse or young fledgling, are gerfalcons, arctic owls and hawks, while grouse are abundant on every hand. The latter birds cannot be termed migratory, as throughout the year they are found all HARLEQUIN* DUCK. over the northwest portion of the Territory. Nature, kind to all living things, has provided that birds, in common with animals frequenting or living in the Arctic and sub-Arctic zones, shall, in a measure, conform in color with the sur 1 roundings. With but few exceptions | i birds nestling on land have the plumage L of a brownish color, similar to the tone i of the moss and lichens, among which their young are born; while in winter I grou?e and owl, as well as fox and hare, H change their pelagd .and feathers to a m snowy whiteness. But by far the most interesting bird seen in the Arctic is the loon. In its habits and general characteristics the bird stauds unrivalled. Now a loon may 1 aptly be termed a lusus nature, for it has , the feathers of a bird and the fur of an animal. The fur is on the neck and breast and under the belly. It is soft and rich, dark blue black and is as fine as seal fur. The feathers are metallic black and lustrous-hued, soft and tleecy but extremely hard to detach from the skin, while they are asspriogy as rubber. Around the birds throat is a ring of exquisitely green-tinted feathers, the king loon having green and white bands alternate. Hut the loon.1? arp rriffod tvirti sfr.inrrn voiccs, curious uotes and harsh, discordant cries. At one time the notes will sound like a chorus of bullfrogs, again a soft cooing like a dove, while suddenly they change into the most discordant and demoniacal yells and wails that ever were .; uttered by bird or beast. They possess \ ventriloquial powers, for as one' wanders along the margin of a lake or pool, amid ! the ice, the loon may be within a yard distance, and still the cries appear as if they were coming a mile away. You see one on the smooth surface of a pool, floating along over the smooth water, when suddenly the stillness is broken by a series of wild, discordant noises, interspersed with exultaut peals of laughter and chukles that seem to emanate from some human being. Loons are difficult birds to shoot. At tho flash of the gun down they dive so quickly that you sometimes do not believe you have seen one.

It can travel very fa3t under i water, and will rise to the surface nearly a quarter of a mile from the point of disappearance.

It was in the Tenches bafore Petersburg. As colonel of ihe regiment he had prohibited the sale of iquor save on a doctor's order, and in that :ase prohibition prohibited. The division commander, however, issued orders that a ration of whisky should be served to each man in the trenches and the iquor for the twentieth Michigan was wrought in two great iron kettles. As the nen clustered around with their tin cups iome one cricd out: "Boys, if I'm going to be shot to-day, I want to die sob:r!" The crv was taken up by the regiment, rhe kettles were seized by willing hands aud :he whisky was poured on the ground. Fifty;wo out of 110 of the brave Michigan boys of ihe twentieth were shot that day and every jne who died, died sober.? Dztroit Tri >une. LAW TO SCrmESS DRU.VKE.WYESS. It is ex Dec bed that a general law for tho oppression of drunkenness will be enacted, ind put in force in all the statss of the Gernan confederation before the year is ended. A. bill on the subject has been prepared by ;he Prussian Government and has received Ihe approval of the Emperor, who from the 3ay he succeeded to the throne ha3 persistently demanded some restriction upon the sale of intoxicating liquors. For nearly three 7ears his ministers have been engaged in collecting statistics and evidence on the points concerned, and the decisions ot last arrived it have already been sanctioned by the bunlesrath. The bill decrees the withdrawal of saloon licenses aud the imposition of fines jpon saloonkeepers who encourage persons of intemperate habits. The drunkards themclves will be fined if they arc poor so as to prevent them from indulging in the vice of intemperance, and terms or imprisonment ire to be imposed in cases where a monetary 5ne would probably not have the desired effect, rr.vTn national tewterance convention. The Ninth National Temperance Convention, held in Saratoga Springs, 1881, requested and empowered the National Temperance Society to call another convention in the series, when, in their judgment, the cxigenc&s of the case should require. The Hoard o? Managers of the society, believing tho time has fully come for such'a convention, appointed the following committee to issue such a call. We do, therefore, earnestly anil cordially invite all associations of ministers and churches, all general assembles and synods, ill general and annual conferences, classes, presbyteries, and religious national or State conventions, all natijnal aud State temperance organizations, all woman's nationul rod State unions, Grand Divisions Sons of Temperance, Grand Lodges of Good Templars, Grand Temples of Honor and Temperance, and other State Temperance bodies, to send delegates to a national temperance convention, to be held, commencing at ten o'clock a. m., July 15, 1891, in the First Methodist Church, Saratoga Springs, N.

Linos of opposition are more sharply drawn, and the number of tho indifferent is being steadily reluccd. It is therefore in tho highest degree necessary that all friends of temperance,forced by new perils aud new opportunities, take counsel together for a forward movement against this special agent of that vile trinity: the world, the flesh, and the devil.

It originated from the Blue Laws, which enjoined every male to have his hair cut round by a cap. When caps were not to be had they substituted the hard shell of the "punkin," which, being put on the head every Saturday, all hair which protruded was clipped close to the shell's edge.
