Two of the most beautiful of the les ser Cape bustards of South Africa are the Vaal and the Blue koorhaans, birds of splendid form and coloring, good epually for sport or for the ta tole. Another very beautiful bustard ls the Bush koorhaan, a denizen of bush and forest country, with its no table pinkish crest, its Intense black underphrmage, and its handsomely speckler black and rufour back. This bird gets up most silently before the gnuuer, wavers through the trees with a flight not unlike that of a woodcock, and aHords not only pretty shooting, but excellent eating. The paauw itself may well be term ed the king of all the bustards. It at tains a length of more than four fee:, a wing spread of eight feet four in ches, and a weight of as much as fifty pounds. The weight depends, of course, greatly upon the bird's feeding. Average well-fed specimens will scale from twenty-five to thirty pounds. But at certain seasons this magnificent bird feeds greedily upon the gum ex uding from the thorny acacia, and puts on flesh and fat in - a quite amazing manner. In big locust years, too, the paauw gains flesh with great rapidity. At such seasons well-fed male speci mens will attain enormous bulk and fatness, and are to be found ranging between thirty and forty pounds many colonists .say even as much as fifty or sixty pounds-in weight. The flesh of this splendid game bird is de licious eating, and a paauw is one of the greatest luxuries of the hunter's camp fire or the colonist's table.-Sat urday Review. . - [LETTER TO MRS.

CONSUMPTION^'^ A MORMON WALLED CITY CORRECTION VILLE, THE HOME OF THE PROPHET THOMPSON. A Visit to a Community Established in Iowa by Latter Day Saints Who Did Not Follow Brigham Younjr-Abscond^ inp of tho Prophet and Kuin ot Colony, "It was in 1857 that, in company with a friend, I visited the town of Correctiouvilie, inIowa5 arriving there after a long day's fide northeasterly from Sioux City," said Geueral James A, Fairplay, whose youth was passed in the region west of the Mis sissippi river, to a Suu mau. "The country had been surveyed by the government at the time, aud the town had received its queer name be cause it was situated at a correction, line in the surveys. It was a MormoU settlement, one of the little communi ties of Latter Day Sain? s who had not followod Brigham Young and his peo j pie across the arid plains ten years before but had mads t;ieir colonies in the fertile prairie in the region of rain fall. The town was built in a manner unusual in modern construction,being surrounded by a wall. From ten miles away, over the praire billowing green with the high grass of midsummer, we could see the walled city, the only sign of human occupation in view, risiug above the plain like a scene translated from the Holy Laud. As we came nearer the corn and grain fields laid out in rectangles, the gardens and orchards without the walls could be seen, and the people, at the hour of sunset, driving their livestock within the gates, which were closed at night against Gentiles and prowling In dians. "The walls of the houses within were built of sun-dried brick, made of clay mixed with prairie grass ol' straw-a material nbt so good as the New Mexican adobe bricks, which en dure for centuries, but sufficient for the purpose. The walls were higher thuu a mau could scalo except With a ladder and thick enough to have stood a considerable bombardment from ar tillery, and upon the top Was the b? ginning of a coping of split saud stone. As we came near the gate at the edge of dusk a sentinel hailed us from the wall and demanded our er rand. We asked to see the prophet? Thompson, the spiritual aud temporal head of the colony, and? after some delay, he appeared on the wall. "There was a short parley, and then, our business being with him and satisfactory, the cates were thrown open for us to drive through. Within .the town the houses were built in a circle against the wall, all facing tho common inclosure in tho centre, where the livestock was gathered at night. The flat roofs of the houses were about four feet lower than the wall, making a good standing ground be hind the parapet in case the town had to be defended against au enemy, with some difficulty wo made way foi' our team arning the horses, mules, cattle, sheep and pigs standing and lying thickly together, to the door of the prophet's liouse. - "At the prophet's house the even ing meal was s?>read of corn bread, stewed beans and lettuce, with salt for seasoniug. There was no meat or butter on the table, Thompson haing? after the stricter practice of the Mor mons, a vegetarian. For the guests a pitcher of milk was procured from another house, but none of the proph? et's household partook of ii D?r ing and aftor the meal Thompson talked with us freely and with no ap parent reserve; He was a tall, spare man, whom I took to be about 37 years of age, polite and smooth of address, but notwithstanding his sesmiug frankness of speech he impressed me .with a feeliug of distrust. His real character was revealed in his eyes and mouth, which indicated cunning, dar ing and utter unscrupulousness. "Here in this little conmanity Thompson governed absolutely ac cording to the tenets of the Mormon faith and the 'revela tions' that he proclaimed from time to time. He was prophet, governor, treasurer, merchant, everything that implied power or profit - a Pooh Bah and Mikado in one and 'nigh priest into tho bargain. He published a newspaper for tho faithful and I was permitted to glance through the latest number. It was a queer sheet, de voted mostly to Mormon mutters, re ligious and secular, and tilled with o'7d words which he may lave coined himself. Neroheim, I remember, was his word for supreme deity; the others 1 do not now recall. Such news as it priuted of the outside world had been doctored in the interests of Mormon ism, and the whole tenor of the sheet was in accordance with the cardinal feature in the faith proclaimed by the Mormon leaders: that it first would establish a state, preparatory to con quering the United States and then the world. "We retired early to our bed of straw spread with blankets, on the floor, and in spit ? of all misgivings, our sleep was undisturbed until the sounds of the live stock in the inclo sure woke ns in tbs early morning. With the first glimmer of light the plantation bell in its frame above the council house was rung, and the whole settlement became astir, answering its summons as promptly as soldiers at roll call. At sunrise the stock was driven out t J pasture on the prairie in charge of herd .rs, and after them the men and older children filed ont of the gates to their work in the fields. As they parsed out, Thompson stand ing upon a house top above the gate, a patriarchal fignre in steeple-crowned hat and long linen duster, reviewed them, assigning them lo their differ ent tasks and seeing that all were present and accounted for. The Mor mon rank and file were a common place, stolid-looking people, with ja certain inf ns ion of cranky ones among them. Even the children were seri ous and staid in maimer. All wee submissive to Thompson, who heul absolute sway, even to the power of hf*' and death, among them. "My companion and myself were well pleased when with life aud prop erty intact we passed safe through the gate to thc outer world. All ahontin the fields and orchards the Mormons were at work, toiling steadily and methodi cally and scarcely raising their ej-cs at our passing. Beyond them among the tall grass, the cattle, the sheep and the horses were herded, a picture of peace and plenty with" a less pleas ant reality in the background. "Correctiouvilie, I doubt not, is there'today, but of the wal! and people that I saw probably not a vestige re mains. The Mormon commnuity went to pieces while I was away in the army, going in a mauner that might have been predicted by one knowing the sUnaiioaaud the man at the head. It was 'revealed' to Thompson that it was tho will of God that overy man in the community'should dc iver to the prophet hi ; share in the common laud and goods and live stock. The ne.:t revelation was thai every man on a certain day should bring his receipt foi the property into the ojien space in the middle of the town, where the receipts were to be burned. This having duly been done, Thompson turned everything that he could sell into money and absconded with the proceeds. Of the deluded people a part, holpod by the main Mormon or ganization, went to Utah, whero some of them and their descendants ?re to day. Others lost heart in the cause and became absorbed and scattered among the Gentiles around them. MAKINC THE BLIND TO SEE. Successful Transference of a Rabbit's Eyes to a Girl's Sightless SocketR. The operation on the eyes of a blind girl performed by Dr. C. H. Kohler at Minneapolis, Minn., in which was involved tho transfer of parts of a liv ing rabbit's eyes to the blind sockets of the girl has been pronounced a suc cess-, and it is believed the girl's sight will be restored. She had been blind iii one eye for fifteen years, and totally blind for six years. The transference of the eye of an animal to tho socket of a human being to restore sight has been one of the dreams of surgery. As far as appear ances go the operation has been suc cessfully performed a number cf times; the eye-usually that of a nbbit grew into place, and the muscles united, but never was the patient abl? to see; It Was a better substitute than a glass eye, but of no moro use as far as vision goes. Tho optio nerve of the human being and the animal refused to make practical connection. In the case of Dr. Kohler's patient it was not necessary to substitute the whole of the rabbit's eye. The patient, a young woman about thirty years old, whose home is in North Dakota, lost the sight of one eye fifteen years ago. Soon after the other eye waa attacked sympathetically. Every effort was made to arrest the progress of the disease, but without avail, and six years ngo the young woman resigned herself to absolute and, ns the doctors told herj hopeless blindness. When Dr. Kohler resolved oh the desperate expedient of the rabbit's eyes he called in a number of other physicians and surgeons and asked them for their views; Almost without exception they pronounced it useless, but admitted that the attempt could do no harm. It was decided to oper ate on the eye that had been blind fifteen years. The patient was care fully prepared for the operation, then both the woman and the animal were put under the influence of chloroform. Special instruments had been con structed with which to excise the eyes. The whole front of the diseased member was then removoch The cor* responding part from the rabbit's eye was substituted for the excised portion; thc lid was carefully pulled over and the eye was bandaged so that there could be no motion of the lid and no light could penetrate to the wounded organ. Of course all aseptic measures possible were taken? For a week the doctors waited. Then they made aa examination. To all appearances the original and the grafted portion of the eye had Quited perfectly, and the girl could distinguish light from dark. She was not permitted to test her vision for the tima being; The success had been so signal that the second eye was immediately oper ated ou. It was in much worse con dition, and nearly the whole eye had to be removed and the rabbit's eye substituted. As Vet no examination of the second ey? has been made, lest tho healing process be interfered with. . The sur geons can barely contain their impa tience. The operating surgeon be lieves that the success will be equally signal, and the doctors who were so doubtful are now sure of the success of both operations, and declare the girl Will see. The Future of the Bicycle. What should be the exact selliug price of a good bicycle we will not pretend to say; but we do not despair of seeing a well-equipped establish ment selling first class machines at a price considerably below the present reduced figure, and, at the same time, paying a handsome dividend on a rea sonable capital investment. It may further be stated that the firms which aro the mosi tenacious in adhering to the old excessive prices are not always those which produce the best-designed machines. Competition will, of course, tell its inevitable tale in the long run. The demand for bicycles will not decrease -on the contrary, it will increase; for the bicycle combines utility aud recreation in a manner that no other invention has ever done. As new firms on a healthy financial basis come iuto the market prices will go down; and, naturally, as prices yo down de mand will go up, until, as recently said, a bicycle may become almost as much a matter of course as a pair of boots in a civilized person's equipment. Increased numbers of riders will give strength to put pressure on local au thorities, so that tracks set apart for cyclists may possibly become as com mon on the c lief roads of the country as footpaths aro now. On a good asphalt track and under ordinary con ditions one hundred miles a day would be within the compass of persons of both sexes possessing very ordinary physique, taking into consideration the more constant use of the bicycle that will follow if cheaper machines and improved road facilities are intro duced. In regard to "the latter, we do not forget Sir J. Wolfe-Barry's proposal of special cycle paths in the streets of big towns and cities. Next to cost, mud is the chief bar to the extension of cycle riding at present. Engineering. Sunday Tradlns;. A German shopkeeper went ono Sunday morning to a customer iu order to demand the payment of a long-neglected a<count. The police heard of this, and regarded it ns a violation of the new law against trad ing during tho hours of worship. The offender was cited and fined. He ap pealed to the Kammergericht, and was discharged as innocent. What the law expressly forbids, said the Kammer gericht, is any "public or open labor or trading within the prescribed time." On the police interpretation, two men who talked incidentally about their business relations on a Sunday morn ing on their way to church might bo arrested as violators of tho law, which would be palpably tyrannical and ab surd. This recalls the good old tale cf two Sabbatarian farmers who hit upon a casuistical method of doing trade on the Lord's .lay without break ing the fourth commandment.

A STUDY OF BRAINS. Their Weight Bears No Relation to tho Possessor's Ability. And now a scientist stands ready to prove to us that the weight of the brain bears little or no relation to the ability of its possessor. The brains of two idiots weighed respectively 57.5 and 59.5 ounces, while those of Gam betta weighed less than that of the average boy of seven. A weak-minded mau had a .brain weighing 70.5, while a dwarfed Indian squaw possessed one of 73. G ouuees. To the present generation these statements may be more or less mat ters of indifference, but the writer of this paragraph remembers when one of the greatest arguments used against the higher education of women was based on the fact that their brains weighed less than those of men. A brain of little weight was not consid ered worth cultivating. Its very light ness proved it to bo unequal to the physical task of acquiring knowledge mastered by men whose brains weighed more. It was like expecting puny muscles to perform feats accomplished by athletic giauts. These arguments were considered unanswerable in their day. Every skeptical and fortunate young mau quoted them to every ambitious and hampered young woman. They meant, alas, the self-depreoiation of many a woman who gave np the struggle. And possibly it was just because the vali ant promoters of higher education made no attempt to answer them, but went quietly and silently to work along the lines of their own beliefs, doing without argument the things which their opponents were arguing so ably against, that women of to day enjoy manifold privileges denied to their elders. Everything and noth ing can be proved by argument; the unanswerable fact lies alone inTiccomT" plishmeut. The heaviest brains are found in cold northern countries, the highest average is obtained in Scotland, so that between the weight of the brain and the question of nationality a very decided relation may be said to exist. -Harper's Bazar. Force in Piano Playing:. The amount of power expended on 3 piauo has recently been figured out in a way which, if not altogether ac curate, is at least interesting. Com menting on the statement that it really requires more force to sound a note gently on this instrument than it does to lift the lid of a kettle, says Wom an's Life, it is easy to verify it if ono takes a small handful of coins and piles them on a key of a piano. When a sufficient quantity is piled on to make a note sound they may be weighed, aud the figures -will befound to be true. If the pianist is playing fortissimo a much greater force is needed. At times the force of six pounds is thrown upon a single key to produce a so'itary effect. With chords the force is generally spread over the various notes sound ed simultaneously, though a greater output of force is undoubtedly ex pended. This is what gives pianists the wonderful strength in their fin? gets tb at is often commented on. A story used to be told of Paderew ski that ho could crack a pane of French plate glass, half an inch thick, merely by placing ono hand upon it as if upon a piano keyboard and strik ing it sharply with his middle finger. One of Chopin's compositions has a passage which takes two minutes and live seconds to play. The total pressure brought to bear on this, it is estimated, is equal to three full tons. The average "tonnage" of au hour's playing of Chopin's music varies from twelve to eighty-lour tons. The Phoenix Note. Under this heading the Paris Figaro tells this stor}'. The French people are, as everybody knows,great savers. Mme. P. was the wife of a printer. Her savings were necessarily small, but she made them sou by sou and frauc by franc. As a hiding place for her little hoard she chose the ashpan of au unused stove. No one would think of looking for money in such a place. During tue summer all went well, and Mme. P.'s littlo pile grew from silver pieces into gold and from gold pieces into finally a 100-frauc note. But alas! then comes autumn and. cold, foggy nights. Monsieur ?\ re turns home late and chilled to the marrow. Some faggots are handy, ditto the stove, and -the result is a cheerful blaze with Monsieur P.seated comfortably bet?re it, thawing out. . A shriek of horror congeals him again. Mme. P., who sleeps in the same room, has awakened and is fling ing herself upon the sfove. The ash pan is seized and drawn out. And there, oh, horror! Though the gold and silver are still intact the 100-franc noto is burned to a crisp. However, after the first moment of surprise and consternation, the pair observe that the note, though burned, retains its form, and on the calcined paper the ink shows white, permitting the ^inscriptions to bo read. The precious relic is put careful ly into a box and borne as carefully to the Banque de France, where its history is related. Two experts aro ordered to examine it, and on their report the governor cf the bank, M. Pallain, authorizes the issuanco of a brand new note to M. and Mme. P. Exeunt happy.

Porto Rico a H.altny Place. Porto Rico is said to be thc health iest of the West Indies. It is a little south of Cuba, and is a little warmer. The trade wind is here from nearly east with a slight bend from the north. The result is, as iu Jamaica, that the northeast angle is by far the wettest and the northern slope is decidedly wetter than thc southern or Oarrlbean one. Indeed, the southern slope is so dry that irrigation is needed in some places, and it is very imperfectly used. The Island is more subject to hurri canes than ls Cuba. It Iles near the customary path of their centres, while Cuba ls far io the west of the usual path. The rainy season in Porto Rico Is In late summer and in autumn. In Cuba It is in early summer and in au . tumn, with a short dry season be tween. This has disappeared in Porto Rico, and there is only one rainy sea son there, as in Florida.

"Yes, a little," was the answer, an ominous smile playing about the mouth. "Do you know Chester, Mr.-?" "Not very well," said the unwary questioner. "Well, if you go to the city of Chester you will find a confectioner's shop in such a street," giving the number. "Go into that shop and you can buy a hot mutton pie, deliciously hot, (and here Mr. Gladstone screwed up his eyes, and his face beamed with delight as he recalled the taste and smell o? those savory pies), and all for three pence."

The sawdust is charged in retorts, which are heated by a wood fire, the gas from the re torts passing into series of coils and thence Into tho purifiers, which are similar to those used for coal gas. Limo is the principal purifying agent employed. When it passes out of the retorts the gas possesses an odor much loss disagreeable than that of ordinary lighting gas, and resembles somewhat that of smoke from a fire of rjrocn wood or loaves. The works In use are small, turning out daily 5-10 cubic meters of gas, for the production of which about two tons of sawdust are required. The Umbrella Trade. ; Speaking of.thc vast growth of the umbrella trade, an old salesman said that he remembered, in 1S5S, seeing umbrellas peddled from a cart, on ainy days, at Broadway and Fulton street Formerly, he added, umbrellas were sold In this city at but few places except hatters' and haberdashers* shops, while now stores for the sale of umbrellas exclusively are multiply I ing, and immense quantities are soid j by the department stores. He said that, according to the United States census, the value of the umbrellas manufactured in this country was $3. 100.000 iu 1SS0 and $10,000.000 in 3800.

WE 8 W?mMTm Address, SEA! Tbe Police at Shanghai. 3D a well ordered British-American quarter at Shanghai, China, the strong force of police is an interesting feature. Some of these arc English men; others are Chinese who have been trained to deal firmly with the great coolie class which throngs in all parts of Shanghai; and there are be sides the Sikh police, chosen men from the Punjaub! regiments, who patrol the city aud its lonely outskirts on horseback. In the French settle ment the guardians of the peace are wholly different, hoing fairly faithful copies of the typical gendarmes of Paris. They are assisted hy a certain tnrmber of Gallicized Chinese, but thc affairs of tho French quarter aro not. on the whole, so well administered as these of its Anglo-Saxon neighbors.
