Boat< A Peculiar Bird Captured on 8hlp In Mldocenn. Captain Faussett, oi the British steamship Lord Lansdowne, from Androssan, Scotland, captured while at sea a most peculiar bird. It is bold captive on board* being penned no in the lower chart room beneath the fly ing bridge.- It is very fierce and the captain’s large dog is afraid to veu ture near the peculiar bird. Ever since its capture it has been feeding on raw meat, which is thrown in the window gratings. Early one morning when many hun dred miles from the shore, the bird was seen hovering about in the local ity of the ship and finally it landed exhausted on the foretopmast, where it was captured with some difficulty by the boatswain. When brought to the deck its craw was found to be empty, but it refused everything of fered until the steward threw into the quarters where it was confined a pieoe of canned beef, which it ate. Upon becoming rested the bird grew very fierce and the sailors were afraid to go near it It is not known to what species the bird belonga Its head re-' sembles somewhat that of an owl, but the body is like a chicken, only the wings are muoh larger and appear more powerful. Captain Fausset believes the bird was driven off shore in one of the re cent galea He does not think it is a sea fowl. It is his intention to have the curiosity killed and stuffed. TRICKS OF THE TYPES. They Have Distorted Language From the Sublime to the Ridiculous. The proofreader in a newspaper office has much to answer for, but the Brooklyn Eagle is "piling it on" rather too heavily when it says: lie is responsible for making the harm less phrase "demonstrative joy of Chicago" into the “demonstrative jag of Chicago.” The latter accurately describes the periodical possessioa of the world’s fair eitv, but it was not kind to refer to her weakness. He also was guilty of libel when he made the Tribune in the days of Horace Greeley say “Richard III.” when it meant “William II. Seward.” And he has even made Dr. TalmaJjo irrev erent by indorsing the work of the in telligent compositor who set up the first line of one of the famous preacher’s sermons in this way. “My tall friend, our Lord,” when it should have been, “My text finds our Lord.” It is not necessary to mention any more instances of. the proofreader’s peculiar villainy—we are writing as an editor now, and not in the exalted and unprejudiced mood that becomes us when we discuss politics and re ligion with judicial impartiality. Every one has heard of the proof reader who consented to the printing of “no cows, no cream,” “no cross, no crown,” and of “in the richness of sin" for “the interior of Asia.” SHE HAS A MAN’S NAME. Why Mrs. Stannard Took the Fen Hina of “John Strange Winter.'* John Strange Winter was not Mrs. Stancard’s first nom de plume. For several years she styled herself Violet Whyte, and before she was thirty had written and published forty-two novelettes under that pseudonym, but when “Cavalry Life” was about to ap pear her publishers advised a mascu line nom de plume, and she according ly chose John Strange Winter, the name of one of her favorite charac ters in one of her delightful stories. Of course, Mrs. Stannard will al ways be known particularly, by her portrayals of army life, writes Grace Wassell,. in Ladies Home Journal. Perhaps her success is in some meas ure due—apart from the fact that she once lived in a barrack town—to the fact that her father was originally an army officer, being one of the picked officers chosen from the Royal artillery to attend the queen at her coronation. He afterward entered the church. She has always loved the army and army life. Even after having achieved quite a success, it was not generally known that John Strange Winter was a woman. A Tough Railroad Yarn. There are some lively engineers on the Georgia, North Carolina and Northern road. One of them, talking about an engineer the other day, said: “As to what he can do with a train, they say he doesn't want any bridge when he comes to a river, for he just touches his engine a few times in the short ribs and makes her jump aoross and strikes the track on the other side, and not slack his speed at all; and he can do this so nicely that the passengers will not know anvthing about it. In fact, he will be going so fast that the train will hardly make a jostle, and the sleepy passengera don't wake up. Oh, he’s a good one, and don’t you forget it When he gets on the shoo-fly train and pulls the bridle off you may look out, for he is'goin’ to fly right then and there." Crocodiles ms Health Glvero* A Bombay health oflicial has pro tested against the decision of the city government to adopt means for the destruction of crocodiles. He says they are the best and only scavengers possible of the water reservoirs in which they dwell; as they clear away all decomposing animal and vegetable matter, all obnoxious substances which there are no human means of removing. An Eccentric Centenarian. William Ilarlis, an eccentric resident of Hawkins county, Tennessee, has just celebrated hU one hundred and seventh birthday. Ho has lived in the same place ninety years, but dur ing the last two years hg has refused to stay in his house at night, and sleeps in a big hollow elm tree, ex posing himself to all kinds of weather.

Clifford Blackman A Boston Boy’s Eyesight Saved-Perhaps His Life By Hood’s Sarsaparilla—Blood Pub soned by Canker. Bead the following from a grateful mother i MHy little boy had Scarlet Fever when 4 yean old, and It left him very weak and with blood p*bn«d with canker. Bis eyes became so inflamed that his sufferings were Intense, and for seven weeks he Could Not Open His Eyes. I took him twice during that time to the Eye and Ear Infirmary on Charles street, but their remedies failed to do him the faintest shadow of good. I commenced giving him Hood's Sarsaparilla and it soon cured ■ Wm. I have never doubted that It saved his sight, even J* kts very life. You may nse this tes timonial In any way you chooso, I am always ready to sound the praise ef Hood’s Sarsaparilla because of the wonderful good It did my son.* Abbie F.
