expedition was based that I thought we

I knew there were mountnlna to

Was a great enough neconipllKhment to
tempt nny scientific mnn to make all
physical discomforts seem trivial.
I went. I Invaded the remotest and
most uncivilized districts of the great
country to the south. Of the men and
customs I have seen many, and studied
tlicin from the I'nlted Htates liorder tc
the Isthmus. I have seen strange peo

could not find.

bring them to light.
At any rate. I have come back to the

There may be nnd doubtless are
many dogs that board at the various
light stations and do good work iu
belpiug tho kecpors to while away tho
long hours of tho night, but this dog
earns his salary by ringing the fog
bell whenever oecasiou requires such
a thiug. The dog belongs at Wood
Island, off Biddcford Pool, and is the
constant companion of the keepers
He has been tuore for a long time,
and is well acquainted with the ways
of that small part of the world. The
keeper is a modest man, aud does not
do great deal of boasting of the
prowess of his dog because it would
be a sort of reflection on his own skill
as a trainer. Tho dog's capabilities
in his peculiar line were discovered
ono day last September wbon on an
excursion. Captain Oliver and 200
passengers on the steamer Forest
Queen witnessed the following: Aa the
island was approached three blasts in
salute were given by the steamer. In
reply the keeper of the light took tho
bell rope, which was kept hung up out
of the reach of the dog, aud Landed
it to the waiting animal. The dog
seized the end of the rope and pulled
away at it and the bell sounded its
salute. Portland (Me.)Argua.
BIDING A DOKSIT.
When we were boys our first les
sons in riding were taken on (and off)
the back of a donkey. He was crea
ture of changeable, but, on the whole,
amiable disposition. When his tem
per gave way before the trials to which
we subjected it, we took many lessons
iu that gentle art ot fslliug off which
is so useful a supplement to the science
ot riding as more geuerally under
stood. We oau make this avowal with
out any seuse of sbuuie now', for it
happened onoe on a day forever mem
orable that our doukey kicked off our
riding master himself in all his glory
of boots and breeches.
Joe, the coachman's toy, declared
nil our theory of donkey riding to bi
incorrect, and it is significant that,
though the donkey could kick off the
riding master, boots nnd breeches and
all, it entirely failed to shnke Joe
from his seat by nny of its antics.
But then Joe's method wss entirely
difTerent from that of the riding
master's, It was, indeed, so simple
as scarcely to deserve the name ol
method, being contained in the single
precept thst you should sit as near the
tail of the animal as possible. Thai
wis the sum total of his theory ol
doukey riding, aud it worked to per
fection in practice. Our uncle, who
was in the navy, explained the me
chanics of Joe's style ot riding nanti
cally. "It's as plain ns a pikestaff,"
said ho, "thnt when you've got all the
woight in the stern the craft isn't
likely to go dow'n by the bead."

A CLBVEn HAWK.
A description of a most remark
able hawk has bceu sent from Ireland.
A farmer in the south of the country
has a herd of seventy-five cows, which
have to be sent daily to some outlying
common laud at some distance from
the farmhouse. His son, a lnd of
about sixteen, n year or two since
took a hnwk's nest with young ones
in it, killing the parent birds, who
had been flying off with his father's
chickens. Ono of the little birds he
reared, mnkiug a great pet of it as it
grew up, and every day for n con
siderable timo he took it with hi in
when ho went to fetch the cows.
A short time since tho boy injured
his foot so thnt he could not walk.
His father was abseut, and so it came
about that no one was able to go for
the herd. What was the surprise ol
the boy and his mother to see the
cows come into the yard not much
after tho usual time. Tho fact was
that the hawk bnd gone alone, and
had succeeded iu briuging up the
whole herd unaided.
The next night Mr. Hawk's methods
were observed. He 11 rot of all gath
ered his herd together in tho most
skilful way and then started them ofl
for the farm. When a cow loitered
ho flew at it fiercely, and if it refused
to quicken its steps ho struck it with
his great wings. When his herd was
in good order heporched himself with
great assurance on tho horn of tho
last cow.
Siuce thou the hawk has always
been sent for the. cows at 6 o'clock,
nnd he is seldom behind time in bring
ing them up. His fume has spread
abroad, and uiauy people have visited
the farm to see him perform his clever
tusk.
A RTrtANOS ItAIiniT FREAK-
Miss Bertrand, a young lady living
in Tocalomu, Cal,, is the owner of a
rabbit that differs from any other rab
bit mentioned in zoology. This par
ticular bnnuie has but one ear, and
that one is located directly on tho tup
of its head and is about twice as lurge
as it ought to be. -
Miss Bertrand's father is a hotel
proprietor, and tho odd-looking rab
bit is a great pet around the hostelry.
According to tho Bun Francisco Cull,
the rabbit must have known that he
was different from other rabbits nod
therefore entitled to some considera
tion, for he approached the hotel as il
desirous of being captured.
' When chased he did not run away,
but hid in a clump of bushes and re
mained there until his captor picked
him up. Sinoe then he bus become
very tame, but at no time did the lit
tle fellow evince any great amount of
fear.
The body of the rabbit is just like
that of any other cotton-tail, and so
is bis head. The fur is the same, and
the animal seems to be about the size
of other members of the same species.
But be has only one ear, and this
gives him an uucauny appearance.
He has been dubbed the "Unicorn
Babbit," and the solitary ear gives
him a ferooioua aspect
While bnnuie has but one outer ear
there seem to be two orifices. The
openings are at the aides of the ear
aud not far from the usual ploces.
From around them the skin grows
towards the centre of the head, where
it unites and forms the single large
ear. The opening or hollow part ol
this ear is turned bsokward instead of
to the sides, as is usual with rabbit's
ears.
The rabbit does not seem to be an
noyed by haviug but one ear. He hops
about the hotel as contented ar any
rabbit could be, and when picked np
and petted seems to bo delighted at
receiving the attention. -

How Old
Tou need not answer the question, madam,
for in your case age is not counted by years. It
will always be true that "a woman is as old
tis she looks." Nothing nets the seal of age
bo deeply upon woman's beauty ad gray, hair.
It is natural, therefore, that every woman is
anxious to preserve her heir in all its original
abundance and beauty; or, that being denied
the crowning gift of beautiful hair, she longs
to possess it. Nothing ii eattier than to attain
to this gift or to preserve it, if already
possessed. Ayer's Hair Vigor restores gray
or faded hair to its original color. It does this
by simply aiding nature, by supplying the
nutrition necessary to health and growth.
There is no better preparation for the hair
than
