that, while Casche might recover, the
chances are against him. At q late hour

There was once German duke who

Next came a soldier along. He had a
bright plume waving from his helmet,
and a sword dangling by bis side, and
went singing. merriy on his way. His
head was held so far back that he didn't

This stopped his song, and he began to

HOir IL BIRD Flies,

The most prominent fact about bird
is faculty in which it differs from every
other creature except the bat and insects
its power Of dying. For this purpose
the birds arm eIds in only one long
slender finger instead of full hand. To
this are attached the quills and small
feathers (cOverts) on the upper side,
which make up the wing. Observe how
light all this is; in The first place he
bones are hollow, then the shafts of the
feathers are hollow. and finally, the
feathers themselves are made of the most
delicate filaments. .interlocking and cling
ing TO one smother with little grasping
hooks of microscopic fneness. Well how
does bird fy? II seems simple enough
10 describe. and yet it is q problem that
the wisest in such matters have not yet
worked out to everybody's satisfaction.
This explanation by the Duke of Argyle.
appears TO be the best An open wing
forms hollow on its under side like an
inverted saucer; when the wing is forced
down. the upward pressure of the air
caught under this concavi,y, much as
you hoist yourself up between the
parallel bars in a gymnasium. But he
could never in this way get ahead, and
the question il still TO be ans wered -

is rigid and unyielding, while the hinder
margin is merely the soft flexible ends
of the feathers; so when the wing is
forced down. the airDnnder it, finding this
margin yielding the easier. would rush
out here, and in so doing, would bend rp
the ends of the quils, pushing them for
ward out OF the way, which OF course,
would tend to shove the bird ahead
This process, quickly repe eated, results in
the phenomenon OF flight.

sent round word TO all the people on bis
lands. to meet at deep cut in the road,
called Dornthou, near where this stone
lay as he had something to tell them.
The day came, ard a great crowd
gathered at the Dornthou. Each side OF
the cut was thronged with people. over
looking the road. Old Hahr 1.-The farmer,
was there, and so was Berthold, the
merchant
And now a winding horn was heard,
and the people all strained their necks
and eyes toward the castle. as splendid
cavalcade came galloping up to the
Doruthou. The duke rode into the cut,
got down from his horse, and with
pleasing smile began to speak to the peo
pie thus:
"My friends. it was | who put this
stone here three weeks ago. Every
passer by has left it just where it was,
and has scolded his neighbor Tor not
taking 1t out oi the way
When he had spoken these words he
stopped down. and lifted up the stone.
Directly underneath it, was round hol-
low lined with white pebbles. and in the
hollow lay small leaihern bag. The
duke held it up that ali the people might
see what was written on il. GA a piece
oi psper, fastened to the bag, were these
words, For him uho lytS up Me stone"
lie united the bag. and turned it upside
down, and out fell beautiful gold ling
and twenty large bright golden coins.
Then everybody wished that he had
moved the stone, nslead OF going round
it and only blaming his neighbors. They
all lost the prize because they had not
learned the lesson. or foImed the habit OF
helplulnos3.

Religion that Makes Men Honest.

Just a word for the religion that makes
men better than they were-makes them
honest. A gentleman of Skowhegan,
very lately in business. received, few
days ago. from a recent convert to Chris
tianity, sum of money Of which he
was defrauded some years ago unknown
10 himself The sender informed him OF
the fact. and saying that he had given his
heart to Jesus. could not keep the money,
and would. if able. return four fold. but
being very poor could return but the
original amount, which he did in humility
and with the kindest wishes.
A Boston gentleman on being shown
the letter, remarked, III Moody and
Sankey bring such religion to Boston
and it takes, a big pile OF money will
change hands in Boston between now
and spring"
