Ono diiy I wu8 walking down Cbat
bum street, Nuw York, when my bIi'ih
wii'o arribted by a queer sound uru-
eeiding tumult, us il till tho birds in
the world had met in u debuting society.
1 had little dilHculiy in titiilniL' tho
door from whence tho chopped volume
of inusie issued. It was, 1 beliero, No.
55, a hnndsomo front and a largo store.
1 suuntered to tho door and looked in,
und saw a sight that 1 do not think
tun bo duplicated in America. On each
i(l nf iho store tho wulls wero lined
with bird eni from top to bottom.
Tho groundwork was of canaries, and
there muot huvo been thousands of
tluso yellow lulls ol luss and fcuthcrs.
Uitderueath this swarming tier of ca
naries wore largo compurtments, in
which pheasants, cranes and every
rare bird, sacred or profane, that I ever
heard ol. On tho higher shelvos were
smaller song birds and show birds,
from inane lovo birds or whistling
finches, tip to the hoariest and boarBcsl
of parrots. In this wilderness ol cages
a siiottisi) man, evidently ol Teutonic
build, was walking leisurely. As ho
saw mo bo turned and came forward
with that eusy, pleasant grace common
lo well ured city men. 1 suw at a
glace that he was of the best typo ol
liermuns ht'Urty, sell poised, intelli
gent and cordial. His litco was clear,
thoughtful and strong the faco of a
man who has Been tho world, has
(ought il and whipped it. 1 am thus
special in describing him because I
lound him one ol the most agrceablo
and entertaining men 1 ever met, en
gaged in the most utiiquo business, and
the Napoleon of bis profession. 1 don't
know how 1 camo to know so much "f
him so soon, except that bo displayed
tnut engaging irankncss that the trav
eled mun shows to the inquisitive pro
vincial. At any rato, 1 discovered after
an hour schat that 1 was talking to
lienry Koicno, oi the lirm ol Jieiche &
liro., dealers in birds and wild animuls.
This lirm is famous the world ovor.
and stunds without competitors. In
tbe numo of this firm there are organ-
izca bands ot hunters in all parts of
Asia and Airica engaged in capturing
elephants, lions, tigers, Ac., lor ship
ment to tho brunch bousoin llamhurg.
From this point tho animals aro sup
plied to England and tho continent and
shipped to America. All tbe wild ani
mals that All the menageries and parks
nf this continent came through the
bright eyed German with whom I spool
thul delightful day. Ilis history is full
of interest.
Ill 1811 or '45 Charles and Henry
Reicho, two young (icrmuns, having
little less than tho practical education
thut teemi to bo natural, to young
(icrmans, wero bird peddlers In New
York. They went uliout from street
to street telling birds from stands.
Their trade was principally in cana
ries, which they had sent ovor from
Germany, wht ro they only cost ton or
twelve cents each. 1 hey did a protty
iuir uuainosB up to intii, when tney
made a daring stroke that made them
a (iirtu no and established the enormous
business they now control. At that
time California was id tho flush ol
gold. finding, liold wasplcntilul there,
nut luxuries tew. Ihero was no trans-
continental road and the isthmus route
was tedious and cosily. Young Reiche,
knowing that canaries wore unknown
there, and behoving tbey would be
come the rage when onco Been, do-
tcrmined lo carry over a cargo. Ho,
tlicreloro, got 3,U)U or tho yellow lul
lows together, and, packing litem in
little cages, started lor the isthmus.
Arriving at Carthagona, bo had hi
birds carried across to I'anamabay by
natives anil caught a ship there, and
soon reached ISuu b rancisco. llo was
lute in reaching tho ship, and tha cap
tain was about to sail without him, but,
seeing his Coals tilled with covorod
boxes, thought it was belated mail
matter. When lien-he drew near the
captain hailed htm and asked him what
he had.
"Canary birds," replied Reicho.
"Canary birds be d d." shouted
the captain. "If I'd known it was
birds, I'd ha' left you lung ago."
Retche'a first idea of the flush lido
ho was to ride waa caught from a
homesick Englishman, who, hearing
tho whistle ol a bullfinch that had been
aocidently put in with the canariew, of
fered to pay Ilia expenses of the satire
cariro lor that (Inch. Aslhia amounted
to li!83 ReichB saw that ba had atruak
a rich lead, and bo put tha prico of
cunuries at earh. 1 hoy did he-
come tho rage. Hotels, saloons, pri
vate residence, all must have a canary.
The hltlo yellow birds made a craze
like the tulip mania. The price soon
went up to 850 and tho cargo was soon
sold. Reicho returned te .Now York
a rich man. About this time tbe
menagorio becamo an American insli
tation. Tho "moral" show went abroad
through tho land and there was a do
mund for Asialic African unimttls. For
years Hamburg, in Germany, had been
a sort ot depot at which such animals
wero gathered by incoming ships from
tho tropics. Reicho conceived tho idea
ol establishing a house there, and sup
plying it steadily with all sorts ol
beasts, to bo captured by bands ol
hunters, working under bis direction
in the deserts and jungles. Up to that
time mo supply at ilauihurg bad been
casual, depending on what Bailors or
ship captains might bring over Mr.
Keieho wont into Africa and Asia and
found that bis best method was to de
pend upon native hunters, acting under
orours oi their rsheikh and directed by
a low wniio men ol courage and ad
dress His system was soon so organ
ized that bis houst depot at Hamburg
became the largest in tbo world. It
was supplied constantly with .11 sorts
of captures, from liny antelopes up to
cicpnanis, running through all the
gamut from leopard to rhinocoros.
rrotn Hamburg he now supplies tho
most of parks and gardenB of Europe
aim suipa neavny to America. lie im
ports evory wild animal sold in tho
country, and keeps a "largo and assort
ed Block on band." Nino-tenlhs of tho
animals in Central Park, New York
and a largo proportion of those in other
purKs are his property. When he re
ceives a consignment ol lions or hippo
putami, or a tew rbinoceri and giraffes
are billed to him-, he places them in
ocnirai raric, whore they await
purchaser, lie keeps in his store only
a lew of tbe smullor animals and even
the aviary in Central l'ark is stocked
with bis birds. Ho considers twenty
itons a good avoraifo stock, wilh nrob-
ubly as many tigers, a dozen elephants,
lour rbinoceri, or rhinocerosses, und
other beasts in proportion.
Tho most oxpensive animal ho deals
n is the hippopotamus. A good hip
popotamus is worlh (to a man who
wants him) from J10.000 to 812.000.
They must be captured when they are
young and raised on gout's milk. A
A caravan ot hunters returning across
the desert with captured animals is a
Btrango sight. About ono thousand
goats aro brought wilh tho caravan to
furnish the milk fur the antelopes, hip
popotami and other milk drinkers. As
the goals cease giving milk they aro
killed and fed to tho flesh caters. The
animals are carriod in bamboo cages,
rigged wilh ropes and slung across tho
hacks of the camels. From the coast
they are shipped to Hamburg, whero
Mr. Charles Reicho receives them and
ing in. Frequently ho receives a spo
etui order from some circus or park for
a certain animal. This order is at once

become a man. It Is a worthy aspi.
ration, and every hoy should bo eager
for tho lime to como when he will be
able to do lor himself, but in his oa
gorncss bo should not forget tho pres
ent. Hoys do not always notico their

often waiting for tho good timo coming,
und looking ahead so eagerly as to full
to seo whul is passing at tho present
moment, me oest rule which can be
laid down is to improve tho present
moment.
What boys wilh vory little cbancos
can do, may bo illustrated in a familiar
manner by recounting tho history of
one or two ol the most important In
ventions which huvo ever boon made.
A good many years ago, a farmer's
boy whittled out with his juck knile a
model oi a loom, which was to bo on-
cruicd oy power, llo had nover seen
a loom, and, therefore, was untram
melcd in bia invention by any procon
ccived notions. Perhaps that was ono
of tho reasons of his success. Alter ho
bad completed the model to his satis
faction, ho brought it to his fathor for
exuminution. Contrary to his expec
tations hiB futher was displeased, and
at onco kicked the loom to pieces, in
stead of praising tho boy lor his inge
nuity, lie declurod ho would huvo no
boy about him who would spend his
time in such a foolish monitor. The
boy sadly gathered up Iho pieces ol his
loom, and laid them away, resolving
lo abide this timo. Alter a while his
uther concluded to put him out as an
apprentice to a blacksmith. With
this the boy was well pleased, for, hav
ing developed a mechanical tasto, ho
was glud of tho opportunity of work
ing in any direction that would im
prove the talent of which ho seemed
pos'BM!d. In his new position, bo
again tried tbo loom idea ami again
presented a model for inspection. Tho
blacksmith, anliko the father, at onoo
suw the value ol the invention, aud
mmodiately bad a working model . of
the loom constructed under Ihe super-
utondence of tho boy. It worked to
tbo satisfaction of all concerned. Af
ter a while the blacksmith wrote to the
boy'a father, saying, that at a certain
time he would bo at his' house and
would bring with him a wealthy gon-
tleman, the inventor of tho celebrated
power loom. Imugino the father's
surprise at boing introduced to bis son
iuuio ui a Ibooon is be lcarnfd hv
every boy from this story. Il the boy.
invoiilor bad given up to discourage
ment, even alter his lather had broken
up the model oi his loom, it would havo
been left for some one elso to perfect
tho power loom which brought him so
much wealth and fume. Uoys, there
fore, do well to make the best of thoir
chances, and in spite of reverses and
discouragement to work steadily for
ward, ever believing that thoir Just
merits will bo appreciated in tune.
Nor should they wait for some gnjdun
opportunity ol success to occur, but
rather should always luke nolo ot the
liltlo things that pass, and do thoir
best in whatever capacity thoy may
be placed.
Boys frequently do great things
without being conscious ol them They
sometimes siumhlo upon inventions
over which their masters havo worked
for a long time in vain. The invention
of tho valve-motion ol'tho steam ongine,
according lo popular history, ia an in
stance in point.
Walts left the engine in . very in
complete condition, Irom tho fact that
he had no way to open or close tho
valves, except by means ot lovers op
erated by hand. He Bet up a large
ongine at one of tho mines, and a boy
was hired to work those valve lovers.
Although this was not hard work, it
required his constant attention, As
he was working thoso levors, ho saw
that parts of the engine moved in the
right direction, and at tho exact timo
thut be bad to open or elnso tho valves.
Ho procured a strong cord and mado
ono end last to the proper part of the
engine, and tbo other end to the valve
lever; he then had tho satisfaction of
seeing Iho ongine move off wilh
tho perfect regularity of motion.
A short time alter tho foreman camo
around and found tho boy playing
marbles at the door. Looking at the
ongine, ho Boon appreciated tiie boy's
ingenuity, and also the advantages of
so great an invention. Mr. Watts
thon carried out the boy's idea in
practical form, and mado tho steam
engine a ported automatio working
machine.
Let no boy or young man whose
eyes chanco to full upon this account
tool disheartened, whalevor may be bis
position in life, but rather let him be
stimulated to watchfulness, to observa
tion ol tho common things around him,
and to a diligent inquiry, in order to
determine the bent ol his gonius, and
lot him improve ovcry opportunity,
witn me iuii assurance thut time will
right all things, and that he will ulti
mutely achieve tho position lor which
by naluro ho is best fitted. H Ire
qttontly bappona that the most impor
tant inventions ana uisoovencs are
mado by those whose surroundings
would seem to indicate the loast nrob
ability of such things occurring in thoir
livos.- J A HUickimUh find II ncclwngM.

The pace of tho quickest trains in
r.ngland, says an hnghsh paper, is
quicker by ten miles an hour than that
of tho quickest trains of any other
country. In Great Britain tho avcrago
velocity oi the express is Illty miles an
hour, in llelgtum it never exceeds
forty one miles an hour ; between Puns
ana liortieuux it is thtiy-nino and a
half miles an hour. In Russia and
somo purls of Switzerland tbo rato is
twenty-seven miles an hour. Per con
tra, in England railroad traveling is
attended with more risk than in any
olber country in the world. Yot even
thus the perils of the steam locomotive
ara much exaggerated, for a French
stalisticiun, alter a very luboriotis ex
amination of the Deaths occurring from
railroad accidents over the Burluoe of the
w holo earth, stales tbe result of his in
vestigation thus : "If a person were
to live continually in a ruilroad car
riage, and spend all bis timo in rail
road traveling, tho chances in favor of
his dying from railroad accident would
not occur until he was H00 years old."
' You'ro not fit to sit with decent
peoplo; como up hero and tit along
side, of me I" remarked a teacher who
sat at bis desk hearing a recitation as
ho discovered at a sudden glunco tho
woist boy in school annoying bis seat-
mate. Tho sudden flush that afterward
camo over teachers countenance told
how badly ho realized that he hud given
himself awuy.
One of tho ncin features of the ap
proaching institute will bo tho divid
ing of its members into sections or
classes for tho receiving of instruction
on special subjects. For instance :
Alter Professor DcGrnlT delivers his
lecture before tho muin body of tho
Institute, bo will tuke all teachers who
aro engaged in primary teaching into
tho Grand Jury loom, whero ho will
givo them instruction in such things
us appertain directly to their work,
while the main body of the ten, -hers
proceed wilh the cxeuiscs as specified
on tho programme. At unothor inter
val instruction will be given to young
leu'-hcrs ulono, and thus vury tho ex
ercists ol the Institute.
Tn Mipnioiit Sun. Tho spectacle
of the sun shining at midnight attracts
many foreigners to Sweedish Lapland
during tho month of Juno. For six
weeks thoro is scarcely any night in
tho north of S-vccdcn ; tho sun never
sets, and the soil, constantly healed,
produces, in a month and a half, bar
ley and other crops. At that timo of
tho year tho Laplanders pen up their
reindeers and move their huts toward
the cultivated fields. Being very hos
pitable, they groet with joy the arri.
vut of tourists, who generally meet-at
Mount Gullawuro, 118 kilometres from
Lulcu. From that hill, which is 3S0
metres high, tho beauliltil spectaclo of
tho "midnight sun can bo admired in
better condition than any other place
Tho 21th day of June is theduy select
ed lor the ascension ; it is tho longest
day in tho year, tho sun being twenty
two hours above tho horizon. This
year tho 21th day nf Juno was not fa
vored hy lino weather, and, owing to
the cloudy sky, tho sun was not visible
at midnight, but tho following tiny
travelers wero well rowurded for thoir
troublo, tho sun shining brightly at
midnight.
A Iiovr-R s Ivkvrnok. Yi hen James
Lick, tho Culilornia millionaire, wus
a young mun bo lull in lovo with a
miller's daughter in Pennsylvania.
l oung Lick faced tho stern old man
and asked for tho hand of bis daughter.
Ptow, James was a pooryoang man,
but hone.it, industrious and withal
full of pride. The miller relused James'
request, and advised him not to marry
until ho had a competency to support
a wife. Theso remarks wore lather
humiliating to young Lick's pride, and
with emphasis replied: "Sir, 1 shall
seo tbo duy when your boasted mill
would not mako a lospcclahlo wheat
bin lor one I shall own." Years (led
by and James Lick eroded in Santa
Cl ira county, California, a mill, tho
nodwork ol which is solid mahogany.
Shortly alter its erection, ho had pho
tographs taken of tho iusido and out
side of tho mill, and sent them lo the
miller who had refused him the hand
of his daughter.

While Ion men watch for chances,
ono man makes chances; while ten
men wait for tomcthlng to turn up,
one turns something up; while ten
fail, ono succeeds and is called a man
of good lack.
1. School discipline, like instruction,
will take form from the temperament
und character of tho teacher. A repu
tation fur impartial jtidgmont is the
essential requisite of the teacher who
governs woll.
2. Make but few rules, and do not
indulge in much tnlkingabout infringe
ments ol tbem. Remember that pupils,
as well as teachers, havo rights, and
that both have duties.
3. Put yourself in tho pluco of your
pupils Recall yourown school experi
ences, your hopes and fears, your im
pulses, your notions, and tho motives
that influenced you. If you do so, you
cannot become a tyrant.
4. Secure order, if possible, without
corporal punishment; but secure obedi
ence at all hazards. In school, as in
an army, discipline is ossentiul to ex
istence. 5. Tho best way to lead pupil to
study is, not by threats and compulsion,
but by showing them how to uso their
text books, by explaining and illus
trating their bard lessons, and by ap
pealing to tbeir higher motives.
C. Do not tempt your pupils lo bo
come habitually deceitful and untruth
ful, by making uso of tbo "self roport
ing system" in scholarship and deport
ment. It is a devico worthy of the
Inquisition. "It is," Boys F. S. Jowoll,
"both stupidly ingenious and trans
parenlly vicious.
7. Regnrd all pupils as truthful until
you have positive prool to the contrary.
Children wilh a high sense of honor
will never forgive you for doubting
their word, or fur making an unjust
accusation. "Tho only teacher I ever
intensely bated, "said a noted instructor,
"was young woman who charged me,
unjustly, bcloro Ihe school, wilh telling
a lie, w hen I wus only seven years old."
1 rtiHt your pupils it you want them to
put their trust in you. "The sweetest
praise I ever heard," said a public man.
"was tho remark made by my father
when I was twelve years old : 'My boy
never told mo a lie in his life.'"
8. Encourago truthlulncss by re
warding full and frank confession with
a remission of penalties, so far as is
consistent wilh sc hool discipline. Se
verity is ono of the chief causes of lying
and deceit. It excites fear, and loar
seeks an easy refugo in cunning and
ovusjon.
0. Whispering must bo reprosssd
wilh a firm hand. It cannot be en
tirely prevented, but il may be chock-
cd so as to prevent disturbance. On
good way of checking it is to allow a
short whisporing-rocesB every hour or
nan Dour.
10. As prevention is better thsn
punishment, children should be trained
to a general habit ol prompt obedience
in minor matters, so that finally tbey
win siiiintii readily to prohibitions
which curb their inclinations and
tendencies.
11. Penalties and punishments must
bo certain, and must scorn to be the na
tural conscniiencea of wrong sets. Tha
child should know what he has to ex
pect, nd when lo expect it Thcrs
must bo no caprice, no variableness,
no shadow of turning. The child toon
learnt to yield to the inevitable.
12. Do not worry ; do not be dis
couraged ; think that your agitation,
your nervousness, will extend lo your
pupils. Unite patience with hope, gen
tleness wilh firmness, equanimity wilh
force ol chancier. Have a pleasant
voico and a cheerful countenance, and
show yourself the tincore friond of
evory pupil ; lot your school be one
that will always bavs agreeable aaso-
ciatlont connected wilh it ; but If n
emcrgoncy como, be prompt tnd reso
lute to moot it, but always cairn.
