— Scarcely less rare than a black tulip, a red- 

 haired leKTO, or a four-leaved shamrojk, is 

 the amazing natural curiosity now being ex- 

 hibited in the Berlin Aquarium, to the ma 

 terial augumentation of that admirable insti- 

 tution's daily receipts. A milk-white raven, 

 with pale pink eyes and red legs, received ad- 

 mission a week ago to the great central aviaiy 

 in which scires of beau if ul birds flutter and 

 chirp and build their ncEti in comparative 

 freedom, but his presence there spread such 

 general paoic among the rem»ining inmates 

 of the toliere that it has been found neces- 

 sary to remove him to a separate cage. 

 Strange as it may seem, the other birds in- 

 stinctively rec.3gnized that this corvine albino 

 was abnormal, and therefore terrible. M'iny 

 of them became total abstainers from food 

 and drink through sheer fright while he 

 shared their quarters, and huddled together, 

 shivering, at as great a distance from the 

 fearful anomaly as the limits of their prisons 

 would pertnit tiiem to attain. In all respecs' S 

 save Its extraordinary hues, the raven is as 

 Other rave IS, His appetite is apparently in 

 Batiable, and he ministers to it with a formi 

 dable lieak. Neither in tone nor delivery is 

 there any unusual mellowness or tenderness 

 about his croak. His pink eyes could not be 

 more steadfastlj' engaged in contemplating 

 the main chance were they as yellow as bur- 

 nished go'd. He was found, with a coal- 

 black brood of brothers and sisters, in a nest 

 built by his parents— whose surprise at hie 

 peculiar appearance must, we should think, 

 have been considerable — on the topmost 

 branch of an old tree in the Georgenthal, a 

 valley of Thuriugen. Doubly an anachron- 

 ism, this snow -white raven is at present one 

 of the "lions " of the German capital. — Lo7i- 

 don Times. 



—The cricket field, the hunting field, the 

 race course, the racket court, and the arena 



of athletic sports, says the London Lancet, 

 all number a good many maimed, or even 

 killed, among their votaries, but the undoubt- 

 ed valiie of athletic exercises to the individ- 

 ual and the nation more th^n counterbal- 

 ances the occasional misliaps which must in- 

 evitably occur. While it is advisable to 

 avoid anyllaing approaching to brutality in 

 our pastimes, it is equally necessary not to 

 encourage efl'eminacy, especially in this age, 

 when manufacturers of " gentlemen's cor- 

 sets " flaunt Iheir advertisements in the pub- 

 lic press, and men of the modern aesthetic 

 school write maudlin poems in praise of each 

 olh'ir. There are many pastimes infinitely 

 more ruinous to health than wo have enu- 

 merated above. Dancing night after night 

 in crowded non-ventilated rooms is among 

 the most unwholesome and dangerous prac- 

 tices of modern life, and kills infinitely more 

 persons (Ih High more indirectly) than either 

 the " Rugby " or the " Association rules. The 

 men who are killed by sitting in public 

 houses or (what is very much the same 

 thing) in club houses, playing billiards or 

 cards till the small hours, and drinking "B." 

 and "S." are not held up as warnings.
