ome. of the American Osprey. Daniel G. Board, in a late article upon the American osprey, says within hal a day's journey of New York city lies an almost desert island, whose barren wild- I ness is interrupted-marredI h'ad almost i said.--only by a single habitation. A I stone lighthouse porehed upon the bluff at the end of the island seems a natural accessory to this lonesome symphony of i rock, sand' water, and sky. The inhos pitable coast of this island offers no safe port or harbor, but the treacherous sandy beach is ragged and broken with hugo bowlders and rooks, against whose fint7. sides the angry impetus of the storm wave is dashed and splintered into foam and spray. The occasional frag ments of wrecks strewn upon the beach or forming appropriate monuments tz the graves of drowned mariners, testify to the danger of- the coast, and add a. solemn tone to the sea-song of this desert isle. A marsh or swamp occupies the centre of the island, about which grow trees of some height, being in a measure protected from the winds by the sur rounding hills or mounds, whose sandy bpldness is scarcely covered by a thin growth of wiry grass. At the foot of the hills, stretching to the wator's edge, are swampy flats, dotted here and there with trees, gnarled, knotted, misshapen, and dwarfed by exposure to tempest and lack of nourisaug soil. Each summer's vacation, as our yacht has passed this island, my curiosity has boon excitqd by the great number of birds which make it their home. It was partly to satisfy this curiosity, and part ly to try the black fishing, which is ex collent in the dangerous eddies of the tide, that induced the writer, with two companions, to land upon this island one quiet Sunday morning. As our little sail-boat approached the lighthouse we saw a couple of great northern divers swimming unconcernedly about# or over and anon disappearing beneath the smooth waters. After landing,wo walked over the sandy flats, disturbing by our footsteps scores of night-hawkr These mystori ms birds filled the air c -head, and darted down past our ears with a loud whirring noise, while they all kept up a constait repetition of their poculiar : cry. Numerous as those birds were we only succeeded in finding one egg. Nests they have none; but so closely does the egg resemble the lichens, dry grass, or i moss, that although the mother bird may rise from boneath your feet, it will re (ulie a careful soarch and a sharp eye to detect the little roundish-shaped eggs. In the low bushes or high grass along the edges of the swamp, we found nu merous nests of the swamp blackbird. Some meadow larks had their nests upon the grass plat in front of the lighthouse door, on top of the bluff. The sandy face of tile bluff was perforated with in numerable burrows of the industrious biank swallow. Uin any part of the Lland, turn which ever way we would, the large nest of tile fish-hawk formed a prominent feature of the landscape, and from sunrise to sun set the American osprey sailed around overhead in graceful curves, protesting with shrill cries against the imvasion of ,heir territory by strangers. Baird says that the American osprey or fish-hawk nests almost invariably in the tops of tall trees. He gives as ex ooptions to this rule a nest upon a small pine treo in Maine, and 0110 upon a cliff upon the Hudson River. Audubon, I bclieve,found two fish hawks'nests upon the ground. With those facts in my mind, I was somewhat surprised to find ospreys' nests scattered arond promiscuously upon the sand dunes, piles of driftwood, tops of bowlders and small trees. The nests are all of them rather nicely built, the foun dation consisting of quite large sticks, and in seine instances pieces of plank weighing fully as 1much1 or mnore than the bird; ever thlis foundation was a layer, composed of seaweeds,sponges,aund other odld material cast up by the waves, tihe nest itseLf being a shallow dish-like hl low, of fine soft seaweeds and grasses. Those I found upon the ground stood about twvo feet high, buit somo1 of them m1 the trees would measure, from foun f. dation stick to summit, fully five feet. Such1 nests are eagerly seizedl upon0 byj the purple graklo or crow blackbird, andI I aill the interstices between the stickst terming tile hawks' nests are often filledt with the nests of blackb~irds. I counted< six blackbirds' nests iln tile portion of an osprey's nest witin sight; there were three eggs in tile hlawk s nest, anld most of thle blackbirds' nesta conltainled younigt birds just out of tihe egg. Somne osplrey'sf eggs thlat I took from a niest ini a treet were, prettily marked withl dark purplish I or wmol-colored markings upon01 a cream- r wvhite ground. I nloticed, hoewevor, thatt in four or five different nests upoen thle I ground the eggs wore all a dirty-brownt color, hiarmonising so perfectly wvith the dry as-aweedl lining of the nest as to en quir, a quick eye to detect tile egg ir thle uiest when the observer stands onily a fe w foot away. After making some sketches, collecting some eggs, and~ catching about sixty I pounds of blackfish,eur party bade fare well to the island(, and were rowed out to * a passing steamer, which slowed up1 and took us aboard. A few hour11S after we wvere black in the hot (lusty streets of the great metropolis, with onmly our siun- I burnt faces to remind us5 of the island hlome of thle American osp~rey. Mil1k asI a Food1. Again, milk is a tood that should not be taken inl copious draumghts like beer, or other fluids, which differ from It chemical. ly. If we consider the use of milk In in. fancy, the physiological ingestion, that le, of it, we find that the suickIng babe imbibes little by little the natural foodi provideLd for it. Each sall mlouthful is sectaredl by (ffort and slowly p~resented to the gastric mnucous surface for the primal dligestivo stages. 1it Is thus reguilarly andi gradually reduced to culrd andi the stomachl is not oppressed with a lump of half-coagulated milk. The same principle shiouldl be regardedi in thid case of the adult. Milk should be slowly taken in mnouthmfuls, at short intervals, andi thlus it is righltly dealt with by tile gastric juice. If milk be taken after other food It is al mlost sure to burdeon the stomach and to cause dliscomfort and( prolonged indhiges. tien, and( tis for tile obvious reason that there is inIsuhlCienlt digestivo agency to dis. pose of it. And the better the qualhty of the mil1k the more severe the discomfort whal be under thtese conditions. 4 ~ Milk Is ir.suflleiently used in making simple puddings of such farinaceous foods as rice, taipioca and sago, ilstasto for these is engendered very often, I believe, be cause the milk Is Stinltedlin making them, ~ or poor, skimmed iik Is used. Abund-. ance of new milk Shiold~ be employed, andI more milk or cream shlould~ be added when they are taken. In Scottishi households this matter is well undierstood, andi a dis titet pudd~ling-plate, like a simall soup-plate, - lI used for tis course. Th~e dry unesses I commonly servedl as milky pulddings mn E England are exactly fitted to create dlIe- s gust for what should be a most excellent I: and delicious part of a wholesomne dlinner r for both children anid adult. AGRIOULTUB. To xzzP VERY SHADED PLAOES GREEN 3specially in the front yards of dwellings' )oth in town and country, wicuh are muel haded, we often see the ground complete y bare, not a living thing being percepti 1e.

This would give room for thi growing thero of plant or vine that wocul be adapted to it, and which would no nly recover the naked spot and make it i "living green," but would be adding very nueh to the general appearance of the pro Inses. The boat vine for this purpose m Andoubtedly the periwinkle. It will gro-A ilmost any where m the shade if the prop )r attention is given to It, but not other. wise. It is a beautiful vine and wil lensely cover the ground, producing nearlj ,he whole season a very pretty blue flower, Weeds ,however, are its deadly enemies It cannot fight them. Steadily tbe3 will encroach until they drive awa3 aur favorite and occupy the field of battle, & little help now and then, however, wil defeat the common enemy, and allow us t( !njoy the cool-looking, popular evergreer for many years without renewal. Most farmers, probably, believe that ti 4reat bulk of the constituents of theii 3rops is derived from the soil. This is I very great mistake. Take, for instance i hay or pasture field. The carbon, by Irogen and oxygen of the plants are deriv ,-d from the atmosphere, the nitrogen and nineral matter from the soil. This woul( be equivalent to 92 per cent. of dry ha) being derived from the atmosphere am mnly 8 per cent, from the soil. From thil t may be seen that the farmer, who haj ill these ingredients locked up in his ma aures, which he might apply to his lant or plant food, by letting it lie scattere intil decomposed and wasted, sends off 21 )er cent. of it to feed the plants of othe ands, perhaps of farmers a thousand mile Iway.

PREOAUTIONs AGAMNST DnOU-ru.--Higl nanuring, thorough cultivation, and thi ree use of vegatable matter like muck ,rc the best of precautions for preventing, o a considerable eitent, the bad effects of Irouths. Mlessors. Lawes and Gilbert oh Cngland, in their experimients, found that lea&vy manured soils retined to the depth >f thirty-six inches many tons more watei lian adjoining lands not so heavily in. mnred. And in experimenting with the pade It was found that, where the soil was lug up to the depth of eighteen inches, ad heavily manure~d, the crops did inot tfer from drouth, although the crops on ;djoining plots were all but dIried up. ~Awes and Gilbert also found that when he manure was hqavily applied, and turne d o a good depth, the water (lid iiot go brough to the drains nearly so rap~idly as an land not so heavily manuied or so leeply cultivated. In both cases, wvhere here was a large percentage of vegetable latter in the soll, It acted as a sponge, re.. aining much of the water which soils dif eremtly constituted allowed to pnse brough. Drouths we cannot prevent, and behooves us to guard against their inju ious effects to the best of our abilliy.
