The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1879-12-17

Nondu family-the father takes care Of
the house, or nest, making it himself, sit
ting on the eggs, and taking care Of the
little ones. He makes the nest in some
quiet place among bushes or weeds, and
it consists of a shallow hole, with dried
grass laid in it, When the nest is ready
the anxious papa kindly allows his wives
of which he has SIX or seven, by the
way-to lay eggs in it, till there are as
many as he chooses to take care of-some
writers say fifteen or sixteen and others
thirty or forty. You can believe which
you please. When there are as many as
he likes, he takes possession of the nur-
sery, and his wives politely retire to some
distance, though not very far, while he
does his sitting He is very faithful,
sticking to the nest till he is almost run
over before he will leave, and onl y leav-
ing it when the sun as hot
About the beginning Of February the
baby Namdes begin to come out of the
eggs, and then the careful papa takes
them out in the neighborhood for some
thing to eat.
For four or five weeks they do not see
the mammas but when they are as old as
that the family gradually gets together
again, and all go in one flock. They eat
grass and clover, and are specially useful
in eating the seeds of plant which bears
burrs that do great damage by getting en-
tangled in the wool Of sheep.
At all times, too, they eat insects and
snakes, and other small reptiles.
These birds are very valuable to the
people where they live, and are hunted
with the lasso, and sometimes with dogs
The flesh is eaten, and the fat made into
oil. Of the skin Of the neck bags are
made, and the poorer feathers are woven
into beautiful rugs. The best feathers
are almost as valuable as those of the AT
rican ostrich, and the next in quality are
made into dust brushes.
The eggs also are much liked. One
Nandu egg is equal to fifteen hens eggs
and it cooks in its own shell, in the same
way as those of his African namesake.
They are said to live fifteen years, and
are easily tanned, being, in fact, afraid Of
nothing but an Indian, whom they seem
to recognize as an enemy at once.-FT0n1

Singing.

Both in England and on the Continent
new interest is awakened in sacred song.
In the former country the staid and here
tofore hostile Churchmen invited Mr.
Sankey to hold meetings among them
In Switzerland the congregations used a
French version of the Moody and Sankey
songs, and as he led in English joined
tn happy discord in the singing
hey assembled In the great SSH drals
and more frequently in the public halls.
Both in Switzerland and Great Britain
the meetings enhvened with sacred song
were regarded as successful and inspiring.
In contemplating the success Of this
evangelist who has so little to recon-
mend him beyond his devotional fervOr
and his musical skill, we are satisfied that
one of our most pressing needs toward
the awakening Of new interest in reh-
gious matters is indicated in this circum-
stance. We want more impressive music
in connection with the religious services
of our churches. A subtle inspiration is
impaired to the heart by expressive tunes.
A new energy is gwen TO the great ooc-
trines of salvation when they are commu-
nicated to men in the vehicle Of sacred
song. There is charm in the melody
which gives new effectiveness to the sweet
and blessed truth it expresses and con-
veys. How much the Reformation owed
to the hymns and music of Luther every
one knows. How much the modern re-
vivalist owes to the music Of pious senti-
ment appears in the history Of the pro
pagation of the gospel in our own and
other lands. We wonder that more at
tention is not paid to this subject by our
churches. Why do not the members cul-
tivate their gifts in singing? Why do
not the young people especially meet to
practise the utterance Of Gods praise
more perfectly? Certainly one of the
mightiest influences that can stir the hui
man soul is set aside when singing is
neglected by Christian people,
alabama Baptist.
