Pods appear on its l-ruuches as soon as it arrives at its full growth. These ripen and drop off in August. Instead of remaining seeds, as one would naturally ruppose, these pods have from three to six small. harsh worms upon the interior. -â€".‘\'cw York Home Journal. - Some Peculiarities of Birds and Animals. “Some animals exhibit a queer lack of sense," Says a man who has observed them. “ Put a buzzard in a pen about sax feet square and open at the top, and it is as mucha prisoner as though it were shut up in a box. This is because buzzards always begin their flight by taking a short run, and they either cannot or will not attempt to fly unless they can do 80. Again. take a common bumblebee and put it in a goblet. It will remain a prisoner for hours, trying to escape through the sides, without ever thinking of escaping through the lull. So also a but cannot rise from a perfectly level surface. Although it is I'tUllll‘kflbly nimble in flight when once or. the wing and can fly for many hours at a time without taking the least rest. it' placed on the floor or on flat ground it is absolutely unable to use its wings. The only thing it can do is to shufile helplessly and painfully along until it reaches some trifling elevation, from which it Can throw itself into the air, when at once it is off like a flash,”â€" ,4“le York Tribune. -oâ€" From the Wild West. A story comes of a thrilling adventure recently occurring to William Johnston, a prospector. On a trip from Alamo to the broken country north of the Trini- dad Pass his horse was picking its trail through a dark canon when he was stunned and almost thrown from his horse by a mountain lion that dropped upon him from an overhanging tree. The frightened horse plunged down the canon, and Johnston, twisting in his saddle, “managed to wrench the murder- ous claws of the lion from his shoulder. At this moment the horse saw a Sonora lynx in his pathway, and swerving sud- denly aside hurled the lion from his lmck directly upon the lynx. The two l t asts locked throats. and as the horse emerged front the canon Johnston be- came faint and light-headed from loss of blood, and did not recover his senses until lonnd by his partner two days later on the desert. After he had partly rtcovcrcd the two men visited the spot, but only a few blood bespattcred bould- L't's marked the scene of the fray. The hounded man has a wobbly shoulder to prove his participation in the event.â€" I.owcr UttIi/‘m'niun. * A Little Store-keeper. A little store-keeper only four inches high. and the happiest, friskiest little follow you ever saw! He lives very near my housc, and I see him every nmruing dl‘C‘SSLd in a warm, brown coat , striped with blackâ€"as natty a little . m'ltlll‘l'el as ever l'riskcd through the wood. 1n the summer and fall he goes out to gather seeds and nuts, and packs them .:tway in his two little leather basis These two tiny bags are in his mouih, just back of those sharp teeth that crack It. is very funny to so chitn his little bags with his fore-feet. When . the bag is full he shuts his mouth tight, which closes the bag, and away he scam~ : pet's home. llis home is hidden away under the roots of a tree: and the door is very tiny. First, there is a long. slanting hall, and ~ then comes the cosiest room imaginable. I; is lined with mass. and has a soft. w ~rm t‘al'pt‘t of dry leaves. IIis stere- - m isjust out of the parlour. It. has . n .xul't ut' earthen shell, where he packs ,awa} tlze seeds and nuts for winter. When he gets into this little store room gin sits up, puts his little-fore feet behind t:l.e bags where his nuts are tucked away, ,zuul jihl crowds all the good things out, while he holds his mouth open. Beech mats are the little fellow’s favorite food, mad he likes to store away a good quan- a pity of these toothsome, thrccsidcd nuts.
