The sport OF faiconry.

Falconry, as it used to be practised.
was most fascinating pursuit. Its or
igin is lost in the remotest ages of an
tiquity. 1t is sufficiently clear. however
that it came to Europe from the East,
where, from time immemorial, it has
been favorite amusement. The Ori-
entails have always trained the hawk,
the greyhound and the cheetah or hunt
ing leopard, and at this moment hawk
ing is as much 1ational sport in Per-
sia as coursing in England. The first
European writer of any eminence who
treated of falconry, was one Julius Fir
micus, whose name would seem suffici-
emily to denote his northern origin.
This learned author lived about the
middle of the fourth century, and
wrote NEST able treatise in Latin on
the art of Hawking From bis day
downward falconry became more and
more fashionable, and in DOOmsday
Book constant references to ii are to be
found. In those times an English gen.
tleman carried his hawk on his wrist,
anu Was dlituucu IDJ uis uouuu, dinort
as matter of course, and a hawk
would sometimes fetch price which
when allowance is made for the differ
ence in the value of money, would now
be considered almost extravagant for a
Derby winner. Toward the end of the
reign of Edward iii. falcons of good
breed began to be scarce, and accord
ingly it was made felony without bene-
lit of clergy to steal hawk. while to
take its eggs was punishable with I'M
prisonment for year and day, and a
fine at the Kings pleasure. Hawking.
as pastime, continued, as no student
of Shakespeare need be reminded: long
into the Tudor period. 1t died ont
with the Protectorate, and on the res
toration of Charles III. it was found to
he practically extinct. According to a
Dublin journal, this sport of the anci-
ent English gentry is about to be resus-
citated in Ireland.-Beirs Lite.

worthy st. Nicholas must be esteemed
the patron of all American skaters.
The Little Rear.

The Little Bear is a small but most
interesting constellation. / do not
think that the Little Bear, like the
larger, one, was SO named because of
any imagined resemblance to a bear.
The original constellation of the Great
Bear was much older than the Little
Bear, and so many different nations
agreed in comparing the group to
bear, that there must have been real
resem blance to that animal in the con-
stellation as first figured. Later, when
star maps came to be arranged by as
tronomers who had never seen bears
they supposed the three bright stars
forming the handle of the Dipper to
represent the tail of the bear. though
the bear is not long tailed animal.
They thus set three stars for the bears
tail, and the quadrangle of stars form
ing the dipper for the bears body. 1t
was not formed by fanciful folks In the
childhood of the world, but by astron-
Omers. Yet it must not be imagined
that the constellation is modern one.
1t not only belongs to old Ptolemy's
list, but is mentioned by Aratus, who
borrowed his astronomy from EudoXus,
who ''fiourished" Gas the school books
call it) about $50 years before the
Christian era. 1t is said that Thales
formed the constellation, In which case
it must have reached the respectable
age of about $500 years.
But if the Little Bear is not a very
fine animal, ii is most useful cOnstel-
lation. From the time when the Phe-
nicians were as celebrated merchant
seamen as the Nenetians afterward be-
came, and as the EnglisL speaking ma
tions now are, this star-group has been
the eynOsure of every sailors regard.
In fact. the word ''cynOsure' was Origi-
nally name given either to the whole
of this constellation or to a part of it.
Cynosure has become quite poetical
expression in our time, but it means
literally "the dogs tail.
Admiral Smyth gives some particu-
lars about the two stars in the Little
Bear called the guardians of the pole.
"Reeorde tells u.s." he says, Sin the
Castle of knowledge nearly three
hundred years ago, that navigators
used two pointers in Ursa-'which
many do call the Shafte, and others do
name the Guardas, after the Spanish
toDge.' Richard Eden, in 1884, pub
lished his 'Arte of Navigation and
therein gave rules for the 'starres,'
among which are special directions for
the two called the guards. in the mouth
of the horne, as the figure was called
(The pole-star would mark the small
end of the hOrne.) "How often" says
Hervey in his "Meditations," ''have
these stars beamed bright intelligence
on the sailor and conducted the keel to
its destined haven,"-,St. Nicholas

GOD KNOWS

Oh wild and dark was the winter night
When the emigrant ship went down,
But Just outside Of the harbOr bar.
In the sight of the startled town
Ths winds howled, and the sea roared,
And never a soul could sleep.
Save the little ones on their mothers breasts,
Too young to watch and weep.
No boat could live in the angry surf,
No rope could reach the land;
There were bold, brave hearts upon the shore,
There Was many 8 rea7y hand;
Women who prayed, and men who stroye
When prayers and work were VAIN
For the sun rose over the awful void
Aud the silence of the main
Al day the watchers paced the sands
All day they AIMED the deep;
All night the booming minute-guns
Echoed from steep TO steep.
''Give up thy dead, o cruel scar
They cried athwsrt the space;
But ouly baby's fragile form
Escaped from its stern embrace!
Only one little child of all
Who With the ship went down.
That night, when the happy babies slept
So warm in the sheltered town!
Wrapped in tie glow OF the morning Light,
1t lay Oh the shifting sand,
As fair as sculptor's marble dream,
With q shell in it- dimpled hand.
There were none to tell Of its race or kin,
God knoweth the Psstor said.
When the sobbing children crowded to ask
The name of the baby dead.
And so when they Lard it away at last
In the church-yard's hushed repose,
They raised a stone st the bsby's head
With the carved words-''God knows"
s. Nicholas.
