MY CHILDHOOD'S SUNDAY.
My Ereat-ffrent-great-Brent-grandfathcr, M
Whose heart through mine Is beating,
Believed—good Puritan!—'twas sin
Of sins to slay from mooting.
On each Lord's day they gathorod twice,
A patient congregation,
And heard two long discourses through
As food for meditation.
But oh, what rest from Saturday,
Uow brisk a start for Monday
Those grave old Pilgrim fathers had, 1
With their old-fashioned Sunday I
M A vanished day," you say, and yot /
Fond memory's teurs bedew It,
For In my old New England home, , (
A child, how well I knew Itl ' \ •
It colored all my early thoughts, .
My life was built upon It; . "• >
1 always said "my Sunday gown,**
4 "My go-to-meeting bonnet."
Mere common, bustling workaday®
Were Saturday and Monday;
But oh, my vory be3t belonged
To that old-fashioned Sunday.
Once moro tho great green box-liko pew,
its high wall 'round me closes;
I sit, a nosegay ou my breast-
How sweot tho damask rosesl
I softly wave my painted fan,
And, by my sldo, my mother
Meets mine with look, half smllo, half prayer
More sweet than any other.
I loved tho strolls of Saturday,
Tho merry romps of Monday;
But oh, I felt the holy charm
Of that old-fashioned Sunday.
They haunt mo still, the many texts
And hymns I then committed.
And never knew In learning them
That I was to be pitied.
Time changes all; yet we would trust
Though chango tho world grows bettor;
But oh, to the remembered past
How much I feel a debtor!
And oh, how hopeless Saturday,
And wearisome wero Monday,
Without tho quiet rest between
Of my old-fashioned Sunday!

r great grove oi
live-oaks in the San Gabriel valley,
g California. They came from a large
ranch down the country, and were go
ing to Los Angeles for the annual
fiesta. Their Raddles were of leather,
richly chased, alter the Spanish fash
ion. The pommel of one was of silver,
the rim of the saddle of the same, and
the bridle was of silver, the bit
being handsomely inlaid.
The riders wore big, broad-brimmed
hats, or sombreros, with silver bands,
richly colored trousers and botas,
while each carried a gay blanket, or
serape, which had a hole for the neck,
to be used if occasion required. This,
with a long horsehair reata, or lariat,
tied near the pommel, made up as
picturesque a costume as one could
imagine.
The country was a succession of
parks, with clumps of fine old oaks,
whose long branches and limbs offered
grateful shade. Occasionally there
were patches of bush and chaparral,
giving way again to the open spots
where the yellow fox-tail grass
gleamed like gold, or the wild oat
rippled in tho summer cun. Through
such scenes of pastoral beauty tho
light-hearted horsemen were riding,
passing the time with jokes and ban
ter, when suddenly Jose Salvadea,
who was ahead, stopped so abruptly
that his horse fell back on his
haunches, and motioned to the others
for quiet. All drew rein, and, follow
ing the direction of his pointed linger,
saw a singular sight.
In a little clearing, where the altt
laria had been green and rank in win
ter, but was now a chocolate-colored
mans upon the ground, under four or
five large trees, were two gigantic
birds, so tall, so black and ugly with
al, that they might have been carica
tures of birds. One was tearing at a
sheep, while the other, evidently hav
ing dined to its content, stood by, its
enormous wings extended, showing a
Spread of nine or ten feet. It was one
of the rarest birds of America—the
great California condor—caught in the
very act of filching from the owners of
the soil—a bird that has the reputa
tion of devouring a sheep a day when
opportunity offered.
Tho loss of a sheep, or a dozen,
amounted to little, but it was the sport
of taking the great bird that attracted
the horsemen, and as quietly as possi
ble they untied their reatas, released
and enlarged the coil, and waited for
word.
They held the rope in the right hand,
so that the noose, about foyr feet in
length, hung free, and at the word,
given by Juan, they put spurs to their
horses and dashed at the birds.
The latter were taken completely by
surprise. One clumsily attempted
flight and rose a few feet from tho
ground, when a reata went whirling
through the air, dropping over its
neck, a pull bringing it to earth. The
other bird, stupefied by its stolen
feast, fell an easy victim, two reatas
tfalling over it, one dropping over its
head, the other securing its wing. As
the ropes fell the men raised a shout.
The horses, trained in their runs after
stock, braced back, expecting the
hard pull which a bullock gives when
lassoed; but instead came a remark
able series of struggles. The condor
caught by the head ran a short dis
tance with a curious, hopping motion,
then with a violent effort beat the
ground and the air with its powerful
wings, raising itself several feet inco
the air. The sight of the enormous
bird, its waving wings, its uncanny
appearance, so demoralized the horse 3
that they snorted, bucked and en
deavored to run away. Hut they
toere quickly subdued and the flying
condor was brought down with a jerk
and the two birds were surrounded by
the excited riders.
Wien followed a crious exhibition.
Tho two birds began an extempori* >d
dance around the circle, Popping lino
eagles, first on one foot, then on the
other, uttering a low and vicious hiss.
Around they went, pecking at the
ropes, thrusting forward their bare
and ugly heads, and apparently sub
dued.
Hut it was only for a moment. As
if by concerted plan they hurled them ,
selves at the horses, one on one side I
and one on • the other, coming up
against the animals with great force,
striking them with their ponderous
wings'and pecking at them with their
powerful bills.
This onslaught again demoralized
one of the horses, so that, rearing to
escape the charge, he fell backwar I.
I lis rider slipped off in time, while the
broncho rolled over and over, en
tangled in the reata. The bird, prob
ably equally frightened, sprang over
his body, and, between a fusillade of
kicks from the struggling animal, en
deavored again to fly." Hut the rope
held it securely, and even a California
condor, with a spread of ten feet of
wing, could not carry off a horso; so
it was forced to come clumsily to the
ground.
The riders, now recovered from their
confusion, amid much laughter—as
this was a rare but famous Bport
among native Californians —began to
take in their reatas, and soon had the
great birds so that they were entirely
submissive; and as thc3 r were unin
jured, it was decided to carry them to
Los Angeles. This was accomplished
by carrying a bird between two horses,
the wings spread apart to their full
extent, and the tips of the pinions tied
to the saddles; while beneath the
birds, to support them so that they
would not suffer, were placed doubled
reatas.
At first the horses seriously objected
to this arrangement, but finally sub
mitted, and the cavalcade took up its
march, entering Los Angeles, which
was then an adobe town, and
depositing the condors at the plaza
amid much excitement, the birds be
coming one of the chief attractions of
the fie ta.
The California condor was formerly
quite common, ami was regarded as an j
enemy to the herder, its great size and
voracious appetite making it n menace
to sheep. Actual experiment showed
that one of these birds would devour a
sheep a day; and to illustrate their
strength, four have been seen drag
ging a young bear, which weighed
over one hundred pounds, for a dis
tance of six feet. When
gorged with food, the birds found it
difficult to fly, and were thus, when
surprised, often taken with the reata.
The California condor is very like its
South American ally in general ap
pearance, not having the peculiar
white collar. It is far from being
ferocious, and is easily tamed or do
mesticated. It presents an appearance
of remarkable strength, and its pow
ers of flight are such that it could
easily carry awny a child or a light
animal. Such habits are often laid at
Its door, but ore not founded on fact,
the bird rarely, if ever, attacking hu
man beings, and being totally unable
TIIE UORER FELL.
from the nature of its claws to carry
its prej' away.
In the air the condor presents a
beautiful appearance, with its enor
mous spread of wing, its perfect
grace and ease of motion. Its pow
er of soaring is one of the most re
markable phenomena in bird-life. It
appears to move about at will, rarely
using its wings except to recover it
self, and can pass over great distances
in this way. The writer has seen the
condor in the Sierra Madre region of
southern California, where they oc
casionally come down and alight in
: the big live oaks of the valley, and has
observed them so far above these
mountains that they were but specks
of black against tho blue sky, and
must have been nearly two miles above
the sea. Even at this extraordinary
height it is said that they can distin
guish their prey. So unerring is their
vision that it has been supposed that
the bird sought its food by the sense of
smell; but sight is in all probability
the secret,
j The great bird is yearly becoming
I rarer. It is shot whenever seen, be
j ing valued at from fifteen to twenty
i live dollars for its skin. The herders
; have a wholesome fear of It. So now
it is restricted to the high mountains,

TWENTY-FOUR-HOUR DIALS.
(n Italy All Kinds of Timepieces Are Sup
plied with Them.
A movement was started In this
country several years ago to substitute
a 24-hour dial for the one at present in
use—that is, a dial in which the hours
should run from 1 up to 24, instead of
from midnight up to 12 noon, and then,
beginning ngain, up to 12 midnight.
The idea did not meet with much favor.
A few clocks were made on this plan,
but they were regarded merely as curi
osities. In the Dominion of Canada
thej' were taken up by one or two rail
ways, and are still used.
In Italy this dial has been adopted by
law of parliament as the official way of
marking time in that kingdom. A
session of parliament is reported to have
21
VA
AN ITALIAN WATCII DIAL.
opened at Rome, on the 23d day of De
cember, at 15:50, and closed at 17:40.
That is to say, in terms of the ordi
nary dial, the session opened at ten
minutes before four in the afternoon,
or 3:50 p. m., and closed at twenty
minutes of six, or 5:40.
The railway train indicator now
mark the arrival und departure of
trains from 0 o'clock to 24 o'clock. A
train starts from Rome, for Instance, at
8:10, passes Genoa at 18:48, Vintimiglia
23:35, and reaches Nice at 0:52 —that is
to say, at 8:10 a. in., 0:48 p. m., 11:35 p.
m. and 12:52 a. m.
The watchmakers and jewelers are
everywhere selling clocks und watches,
and refitting old timepieces, with dials
which mark the hours for the first half
of the day with the old Roman numerals
from I to XII, and the second half of
the day with the figures from 13 to 24,
directly under the Roman numerals.
This system obviates the necessity of
changing the works of the timepieces.
The person who uses one of these
watches or clocks is supposed to know
which half of the day he is in. Roth
watches and clocks are being prepared,
however, which are provided with dials
divided Into twenty-four equal parts,
and works adapted to this system.
Although this system in Italy marks
an official change, it is by no means a
new system in that country, but rather
a return to an old one. It was the cus
tom in Italy, up to a period about one
hundred years ago, to divide the day in
to twenty-four successive hours. In
many parts of the country the peasants
tell the traveler that they sup at
eighteen, nineteen or twenty o'clock,
as the case may be.
Italian letters of the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries always speak of
"fourteen o'clock" for two in the after
noon, or "twenty-four unci a half" for
half-past twelve in the morning. A
familiar Italian proverb speaks of him
who is "looking for noon at fourteen
o'clock," and by this is meant the per
son who is always behind time—the
hopelessly lazy one. Youth's Com
panion.
CATCHING TURTLES.
Peculiar Method In Vogue In the Neigh
borhood of Cuba.
In the neighborhood of Cuba, says a re
cent visitor to that island, a most peculiar
method of securing turtles is pursued.
They train, or at least take advantage
of the instincts of a certain species of
fish, called by the Spanish, reve (mean
ing reversed), because its back is usual
ly taken for its stomach.
It has an ovul plate attached to its
head, the service of which is traversed
by parallel ridges. By this plate it can
firmly adhere to any solid body it may
choose. The boats which go in quest
of the turtles each carry a tub contain
ing a number of these reves.
When the sleeping turtle nre seen
they are approached, and as soon as
they are judged near enough a reve is
thrown into the sea. Upon perceiving
the turtle, its instinct teaches it to
swim right towards it and fix itself
firmly upon the creature by means
of its disk. Sooner would the reve
allow itself to be pulled to pieces than
give up its grip.
A ring, which Is attached to the tail
of the tisli, in which a string is fastened,
allows the fisherman to pull in his
prize. Ry a peculiar manipulation the
reve is pulled off and returned to the
tub, to be ready for use the next time
u turtle is sighted.
A Wildcat's l ight for Life.
While four section men were repair
ing the track of a Florida ruilway, a
large wildcat sprang from the adjoin
ing woods with all-fours upon the back
of one of the men. The other men
rushed to their companion's assistance,
and then it required a dozen blows
with the pike-maul to make the beast
loose his hold. When the cat finally
ran away, the exasperated men fol
lowed it up the track, and were sorry
for it, because the cat turned on them.
For five minutes he sprang from one to
the other, biting and clawing, until
felled with a blow from a crowbar.
Then they finished it, and the men ad
journed to dress their wounds.
