TIE SEA SWALLOW AND THE
FISHERMAN.

| An interesting association exists be-
tween the sea swallows and the fisher
men of Lake Pallegeri. in Lapiand. In
the centre of this lake is an island, on
which the fishermen build their huts in
summer. At early dawn, the swallows
gather around these huts, aud their cries
admonish the occupants that it is time
to begin the days work. The boats are
hardly loosened from their moorings
wheH the birds start out to find q spot
where the Ash are abundant. The boat
men are governed entirely by the move
ments of the swallows. When the birds
stop and .redouble their ,cries,the fishermen
know thsy have found spot where they
will be repaid for their labor. They has
ten forward, cast their nets. and soon
have the satisfaction of finding them well
filled. In accordance with the old max
i'm that the laborer is worthy Of his hire,
the swallows receive their share of the
booty. Every fish that the fishermen
throw up in the air is gracefully caught
by tho birds and, indeed, they are so
tame that they sometimes come into the
boats and help themselves out of the
nets. If one spot becomes non-product
i've, the birds lead the way to another.
Towards evening men and birds return
to the island, and the birds hasten to
clear the boats of the share left behind
for them by the fishermen.

GAMBLING-A WARMING.

William y. Aiken, member Of the police force
of this city, was recently detected in the act OF
committing burglary, and on being arrested,
confessed to have been guilty of a long series OF
similar crimes. He has since been sentenced to
twenty years. hard labor in the State prison
When the usual qestion was put to him-what he
had to say why sentence should not be passed up-
on him-he freely admitted his guilt, but remark.

It is now demonstrated that steam boiler
explosions are frequently caused by the &C
cumulation of mud and sediment in their

bearing of boilers, owing to the change in
the fern OF the boat caused by the loading

LIGHTING THE FIRE IN A STOVE.

Many persons have often noticed the ex-
treme difficulty encountered in lighting the
fire in stove, especially on still, damp
morning. The stove at first won't draw !;
even vigorous blowing will not suffice /;
and then when it does start, it Is with sort
of explosion or outwa rdsrush of air, which
fills the room with smoke and gas, often
times pufingithe unpleasant fumes into the
face of the operator.
The trouble is caused by the difficulty en-
countered in overcoming the inertia of the
long column of air in the pipe or chimney, by
the small column of air that can be forced up
through the interstices Of the wood and coal i.
at the bottom of which the fire Is kindled
All this may be remedied by simply putting
few shavlngs or bits of dry paper on the top
of the wood or coal, and first lighting that /;

the air has perfectly free access to it from
all sides, the heated air forces its way into
the chimney, and establishes there an up

The clerk gave her the note, with the jeering re-

AS remedy it Is adequate, on which the public
may rely for full protection. BY curing Coughs,
the forerunners of more serious disease, it saves
unnumbered lives, and an amount of suffering
not to be computed. It challenges trial, and con-

keep it on hand as protection against the early
and unperceived attack of Pulmonary Affections,
which are easily met at first, but which become
incurabe, and too often fatal if neglected. Ten

be without it. AS a safeguard to children, amid
the distressing diseases which beset the Throat

is invaluable; for, by its timely use, multi

saved to the love and affection centred on them.

GIVING THINKS.

After all, our grandfathers were like the
old Pagans in their first impulses of religion;
if WAS the God behind Nature whom they
cnmDrehended best, and TO whom 1t was most
easy to pay reverence or appeal for help.
The gathered harvest, the forest trees on the
hill-sides, the ripening sun, the quickening
Autumn wind and rain, spoke of a present
Deity to the scandinavian or Greek precisely
rs they do to us to-day, much more plainly
than lucky market, or victorious banner, or
even divine dealings with our own souls.
1t was to Ceres bearing grapes and corn that
the great mysteries of Eleusis were DEVOTED,
in the effort to bring man and his unseen
rulers into relation with each other; 1t was,
too, when the harvest was yellow and the
grapes ready for the vat that the Jews for
sock their houses in cities, and made for
themselves the great holiday of the year,
dwelling in tents covered with bOughs out
among the hills and fields. The vulgarest and
sballowest among us can see hints OF mys-
terious divine Power, beyond the suns rising
or setting; whether we are hOusekeeper, grocer,
or broker, there are times when to us as to
David the heavens declare the glory of God,
and day unto day uttereth miraculous speech.
But in our hourly goings-out and comings-ln
from house or Office, in the trade, the squabble,
the DAYS news, the love-making out of which
grows marriage and the houseful of little
children, the ordinary sickness which ends in
the white sheet and folded hands-we are not
so apt 10 see any God behind these, giving OF

when the Puritans thought it most safe and
appropriate to give thanks. Fruitful fields
and full barns were things which came di-

as well as ourselves, had a lurking second
thought that his own sbrewdness or skill had

The local prominence of the gentlemen from
