The drink gave him belief in Ills phrenological powers, and he declared that lie could "read" heads as well as the lecturer. So It was decided to test his skill upon some of the guests of the hotel. Both Indies and gentlemen assembled In the parlor, and Marshall, who knew most of them, furnished an hour's uproari ous fun by hitting off their fallings.

Fowls that were offer ed them rejected Ibein after a trial with disgust nnd went on wiping llielr bills for some time afterward. Thera are two species, one a bright coral and the other green with stripes. They can break their fnll from the tall trees by letting themselves down on long silky threads. Wlml Heeome* iif I'lim.
