AMERICAN NIGHTINGALES. HOW MOCKING BIRDS ARB RAISED AND SOLD. Half a Thousand of the Songsters In One Cage—How to Raise Them and Get the Rest Results. No bird in featherdom enjoys a greater popularity than the mocking bird. It is the king—the great artist of the feathered musicians. Washington has lately been made the supply centre, and every week hundreds of the “Ameri can nightingales,” as they are sometimes called, are shipped all over the country. Tne birds never were so cheap, and a good songster may now be had for the same price as a canary. To learn something of the mocking bird a reporter of the Star visited the bird man and found him busily engaged opening a crate of birds just from Texas. The crate was a peculiarly constructed concern, contrived after a great deai of experience in shipping birds. It con sisted of a long flat box, with an apex shaped cover of stout cotton. The in terior arrangement was novel. At each end there was an automatic feeding water cup, while the food troughs were located on each side, the contents being held in place by a wire netting. The birds could peck the food out from between the in terstices of the netting, while the latter, on account of its density, could not shake out. The birds were lively and looked none the worse for their long journey. Forty-six was the number the box contained, and when shortly after ward they were tranferred to the big cage the bird man’s stock in trade of mocking birds numbered 672. As soon as the birds had been transferred the bird man turned to the reporter. “So you would like to know some thing about mocking birds. Well, to begin with, it is my favorite bird and rivals the far-famed Euglish nightin gale. “The mocking bird, you know,” said the bird man, as he pushed a par rot’s head from between the bars of its cage, where it had been caught, “is a thorough-blood American. He comes mostly from the Southern States,nlthough he has been found in New England. His plumage is not beautiful, but his homeliness in this regard is lost sight of when you hear his wonderful voice. Ho commences to sing when about two months old. The first notes are weak, but the little musician, becomes bolder with age, and continues to improve in voice until he has passed three summers, when it is claimed he is in full song. No music was ever sweeter than the mock ing bird’s as he pours forth his melodi ous strains in his native element. When he is caged his voice assumes a certain harshness now and then which he learns from his habitation among men. He is a great mimic and imitates a buzz saw as well as a crowing rooster. He is very docile when raised by hand and can easily be taught tricks as well as tunes. Only the male bird sings. That is the rule, although the female has on rare occasions been known to sing al most as well. “The great difficulty buyers experience is in obtaining a male. It is not easy to distinguish the Sexes so closely do they resemble each other. A Bhrewd Connecticut man some years ago adver tised that for ten cents in stamps he would disclose a method where by any one could immediately tell the difference between a male and a female mocking bird. A great many people invested. I did among them. When the reply came in this is what I re ceived printed on a slip of pink paper ‘Take two birds and put them in a cage. Then get a worm. Carefully open the cage door, being sure not to frighten the birds, and throw the worm in. Now watch carefully. If he gets it it's ahe and if she gets it it’s a she.’ It was a great sell. “The only way I know of to distin guish between the sexes is by the mark ing of the wings. Catch your bird firmly by the body in the left hand and spread out the wings. A perfectly marked male is called a four-feather bird. That is commencing at the upper side of the wing, if you can count four white feathers without any splashes of black the bird is a male. It is not neces sary for a bird to have four white fcath era to be a male, as three indicate the same thing, but it is absolutely necessary for the feathers to be perfectly free from black splashes. A word about feeding and then I must leave you. Mocking birds are hardy and with care live to a good age. The diet must.be carefully looked after. Prepared food is excel lent and I use it altogether, alternating, however, with a little carrot mixed in it or a mixture of hard-boiled egg and potato. A meal worm is good now and then, and berries, when in season, are very good. I forgot to mention one thing which is absolutely necessary to oven a brief description of the mocking bird, and that is this Not a day passes but some person brings a bird back, de claring that it is a female and won’t sing. This is the breeding season and for two weeks they don’t sing to any ex tent. The only other time •' they are silent is in the moulting season.”— lfTrwl tngton Star. Largest Farm iu the World. There is a farm in the southwest of Louisiana measuring 100 miles north and south and twenty-five miles east and west. The 1,500,000 acres of which it is made up were purchased seven years ago from the State of Louisiana and from the L T nited States Government by a syn dicate of northern capitalists, by which it is now farmed. This immense tract is now divided into convenient pasture sta tions or ranches, the fencing alone hav ing cost $50,000. All the cultivating, ditching, etc-, are done by steam power, a tract of about half a mile wide being taken and an engine placed on each side. The company has three steamboats upon the 300 miles of navigable waters which traverse their estate, and also possesses a ship yard, a bank and rice mills.—Com mercial Advertiser. WISE WORDS. When suspicion is awakened doubt aroused. That is the safest policy which insure* success. A ray of hope makes the prospect brighter. Everyone can master a grief but he that has it. Better three hours too soon than one minute too late. Give greed an opportunity and it will take advantage. They lean to the side of virtue who are rightly inclined. Ambition looks for opportunity; en ergy helps to find it. The weak may be joked out of any thing but their weakness. If the temper must be rutiled let the reason for it be made plain. Let insult be added to injury and dif ficulties will begin to multiply. Nothing is so credulous as vanity, or so ignorant of what becomes itself. Youth is the season of hope, enter prise and energy, to a nation as weli as an individual. It is a good plan to say as little as pos sible about that of which one knows ab solutely nothing. The two best rules for a system of rhetoric are, first, have something to say, and, next, say it. What we wish to do we think we can do, but when we do not wish to do a thing it becomes impossible. If cleanliness is next to godliness, then sanctity must occupy an isolated po sition in a slothful person’s lot in file. Time is the greatest of all tyrants. As we go on toward age he taxes our health, limbs, faculties, strength and features. Society is the atmosphere of souls, and we necessarily imbibe from it some thing which is cither infectious or healthful. Making Beef Extract. We may, for convenience, divide the factory into three departments: First, pressing; second, bottling, and third, finishing. To the first of these, supplies of the choicest parts of the ox are brought in the morning of every working day straight from the shambles. It is at once cut up into succulent steaks, each of which get a slight sprinkling of table salt, is then inclosed in anew muslm bag and an outer canvas bag, and with dozens more is placed between the per forated metallic plates of an hydraulic press. _ When the company commenced work they were content with a press which took a charge of about 100 steaks at a time, but they have had to meet a greater consumption than was anticipated, so that lately they have installed an exceed ingly powerful press, which would do perfectly for making bales of cotton, and this is tested to give a pressure of 400 tons. When the pile of steaks is put on the receiver the whole is surrounded with a jacket (iced in tho summer) and the pressure applied. We need not follow the process too minutely; it is so simple. The juice as it is collected is mixed with an innocu ous preservative, set aside for a month to clear, and then transferred to the bottling department. Here the liquor is filled in to bottles by a siphon arrangement, so that the liquid comes into contact with as little air as possible; and the bottles when filled are transferred to a separate building, where they are corked, cap suled, labeled and boxed. Our traveler observed that a girl ex amined each bottle before it was passed on to the capsuler, and any one which showed aspect of suspended matter or was in the least cloudy was set aside. It was explained that this is part of the principle of the manufacture 1 the liquor is the pure juice of beef, and ia order that it may keep, the most rigid attention must be given to exclude for eign matter from it, and as far as our representative could judge, the principle was adherod to throughout. And what becomes of the pressed steaks? Well, they are like cardboard when they coma out of the press and as dry as a stick.—. Chemist and Druggist. Von Moltke and the Brave Boya. One day Moltke stopped at a boarding school kept by a person in a village near his Silesian country scat, and sat down to hear the teacher instruct the scholars —mostly young nobles preparing for the army—on the wars of France and Prussia. The clergyman being called away for & moment, Moltke asked to be allowed to take his place. Before long he asked one of the pupils, “Who, do you think, was Napoleon’s best general?” “lily graud uncle,” your excellency, Marshal Ney, Prince of the Moskwa,” was the answer. Turning to another boy, he asked, “And who was the bravest of Prussian generals in the same war?” “My grand uncle, Marshal Prince Blucher,” said he. There was also a descendant of General Zieten among them. When the clergyman returned, Moltke said, with a humorous glance at his own plain civilian dress, “Oh, my dear Herr Pastor, you should have told me before that I was to find such famous generals represented here.” He invited all the boys to visit him at Kresau, and gave them a most hospitable reception. —Boston Transcript. A Reclaimed Desert. The Russian explorer, Mr. Grum-Grzi mailo, who has been traveling in Central Asia, says that the oasis of Turfau, iti Tianghan, once the bed of a great lake, is a reclaimed desert. Being without water it is irrigated by the inhabitants, who have excavated a system of under ground canals and wells some 300 feet deep. These canals collect the under ground water and convey it to the sur face in the lower lands. The works are so colossal that the members of the ex ploring party could only compare them f with those of ancient Eavot.— Picayune. Strauge Finds. An old scissors grinder who died at Goshen, Ind., the other day was found to be worth t venty-one thousand dollars, though he was supposed to be poor aud needy. Ezra GasLic, a native of Jerusalem, was arrested at Tulare, Col., and senten ced to twenty days in jail for begging. On searching him fifteen hundred dollars was found abo t him, with a number of letters from prominent peijde recom mending him to the charitable. Over a century ago a party of Span iards hid a bar of gold in the river bluffs near Roche port, Mo., and despite the efforts of wealth seekers the treasure re mained unfound until the other day, when a man with maps and charts made his appearance aud, after a short search, discovered the treasure. A second-hand mattre-s which for two months had been in possession of its purchaser, a resident of Mebane, N. 0., caused him some uneasiness the other night because of a hard lump which had worked toward the furface. He investi gated, and found that the lump was a wad of greeubacks amounting to ten hundred and eleven dollars. Literal English. A woman went into a Cass avenue drug store to have a prescription filled. The druggist compounded the drugs, and as ho handed the bottle to the customer, he said p easantly: “Here’s your piescription, ma’am shake!” “I’ll do nothing of the kind,” snapped the woman, “aud I think you’ve a good deal of impudence to ask me to.” , “You don’t understand,” exclaimed the druggist; “I mean that when you take the picsciiption you must shake.” “I won’t take the prescription if it’s going to make me shake,” objected the customer. “Good heavens, woman, it’s the bottle you are to shake,” shrieked the druggist. “What good will it do me?” querried the woman. “He means, madam,” said the drug gist’s assistant, coming to the rescue, “that the mixture in the bottle should be well shaken before taken.” • “Well, couldn’t he have said so?” asked the wrathful customer as she looked a farewell suspicion at the unfortunate druggist.— Detroit Free Press.

He was about 80 years old, was a bachelor and was known to be miserly in his habits to a wonderful degree. His only companions were two dogs and an old negro woman who had been living with him during his entire life. Curious to say, in his will he left her nothing. His real estate consisted of 1,800 acres of land. His home place, containing 500 acres, he left jointly to his two nephews, Allen and Peter Bost. The former ;s his executor. The balance was left to other nephews in 100-acre lots each. To his nieces he gave nothing. In old bureau drawers, old cupboard, in pitcher, jars, in old clothes pockets, in old stockings and in cracks in his miserable hovel were found SIO,OOO in gold, besides a large quantity of gold dust and bullion. He had on hand only a few hundred dol lars in paper money, and no notes aud mortgages of any consequence. In the search a package from a Charlotte bank was found containing several hundred dollars that had never been opened at all. This was received by him in 1880, Last spring he made his tax returns and gave in as money on band $4,000. Ferhaps he did not know how much he had stuck about in different places. He had corn and hay that had been stacked for twenty-five years. He eased his con science by leaving of his hard earnings SI,OOO to Bethel church. He made his will only three weeks ago. There is much talk about contesting it, for some of his kin have been left without anything. A Very Strange Fact.
