birth for sliort, Andromacliidion and Agamemnonid ion." When 

 Dr. Manatt, accompanied by liis daughter of seventeen, first vis- 

 ited him, he at once gave her a Greek name Artemis and thai 

 she remained to him to the last. At the first breakfast, " Artemis 

 was installed in the place of the mistress of the mansion, and re- 

 ceived the homage due to her illustrious new name." 



Dr. Schliemann made his permanent residence at Athens, 

 where he built a fine house which is styled a palace. Here, in the 

 midst of trophies which he had recovered from the ancient world 

 and " muniments of the world's honors," he led a methodical 

 working life. " Hours before the Attic dawn, winter and sum- 

 mer, daily he was at the Phaleron for his plunge in the divine 

 sea ; all day long the busy work went on ; and late into the night 

 the lamp burned in the study that looks over the city upon the 

 Acropolis." From any of his occupations he would turn to meet

 were all profitable ; and he could find himself familiar at any 

 moment with the details of their condition and management. His 

 funeral was honored with testimonials from the Emperor of Ger-

 distinction shared only by Bismarck and Von Moltke, of making 

 him one of its Ehrenburger and from numerous learned men 

 and learned bodies, and by the personal attendance of the King 

 and Crown Prince of Greece. 



THE BADGER AND THE FOX. 



OF the few animals which now inhabit the woods and the hill- 

 sides, perhaps the badger is the least known to the general 

 public. He is nocturnal, in the first place ; and his coloring, 

 being in broken tones, does not readily arrest the eye. His head, 

 chin, and neck are white, with brownish- black bands running on 

 either side from the nose over the eyes and ears. His upper parts 

 are light-gray sprinkled with black, the lower parts brownish 

 black ; his fore feet are long and stout, his limbs muscular, his 

 jaw powerful, and his teeth sharp ; in fact, he is well set up as 

 far as these formidable weapons are concerned. The usual length 

 of the animal is a little over three feet, but in his family, as well 

 as in the human race, there are large and small individuals. 

 Take his general appearance as he jogs along, and a small bear is 

 at once suggested to your mind. Many of his ways, too, are bear-
