Mr.. GreFille, in his Memoirs, tells 9
good story apy0pos % the demand for
condensation, which is mark Of this
age: A bishop who rose 70 speak in
the house of lords, and announced that
he should divide what he had to say in
TO twelve parts, when the Duke Of
Wharton interrupted him and begged
indulgence for q few minutes as he had
y story to tell which he could only in
troduee at that moment. A drunken
fellow was passing st. Paurs at night,
and heard the clock slowly chime
twelve. He counted the strokes, and
then looked up to the clock, and said.
why couldn't you give US all that at
once?' The story put an end to the
bishops speech.

1t is related that while Wagner was

who bargained in advance with certain
admirers of the composer to sell them
locks of his iron-gray hair. To his con-

which fell from the shears. The barber

The Sea Of Galilee.

Riding by the foot of Hattin, over the
place where, 700 years ago, Saladln an
initiated the Crusaders power in Pales-
tine, we at length reached ridge where
we looked out on the distant hills OF
Bashan, and far below us on dark blue
pear or harp-shaped sheet of water, ~
ing snugly in deep inclosure OF high
brown hills: Though less than thirteen
miles long and seven miles broad, yet,
measured by the events it has witnessed,
it is a kind of Pacific ocean. It was the
Sea of Galilee.
As we moved over the long way down
ward to it's leyel-35O feet below the
Mediterranean sea-we had time to
fix and grasp its whole aspect and sur,
roundings. It lacks boldness of outline,
for its hills slope gradually back from
the shore, or leave narrow plain, as al
Gennesaret and Buthia. But the lights
and shadows lie sweetly on the hillsides
at night and morning; the northern emo
is broken into pleasant little bays, and
Hermon looms grandly up beyond, fa1
off, yet seemingly near. The whole as
pect of the lake is one That suggests the
thought and the lack OF beautiful homes.
It was still long ride to the lake. The

life and activity, was utterly forsaken

A Land Without Birds.

A French novelist somewhere says Of
the Englishman, "Let us go out and
kill something!" This is his idea of the
Englishman's practice. But he forgets
his own countrymen. We have still
kept our birds, though many have been
destroyed by cold and hunger during
these latter winters, and many more by
shooting and battues. Still our birds are
the glory of the land-Gloria in e1celsis |!
But in France the fields are mute.
There is no music from the skies. The
larks have been netted and eaten. The
birds Of gay plumage have been shot
and their wings put in ladies' bonnets.
All over the country sparrows, fnches,
robins and nightingales have disappeared.
All are killed and eaten. But now comes
the punishment. The trees are eaten
bare; the vine is destroyed by phyllox-
era; the leaves of the shrubs are de-
voured by caterpillars. They are seen
hanging in punches from the trees. The
birds have been killed that destroyed
the grubs and phylloxer@. Hence de-
structioH is spreading over France. The
crops are eaten up at the roots, and the
vine is in some districts entirely fruitless.
This inhumanity, like curses, comes
home to roost. Waterton has calculated
that single pair of sparrows destroy as
many grubs in one day as would have
eaten up half an acre Of young corn in a
week. And the London Times says !:
For the matter Of birds, France is dark
and silent land. The eye searches in
vain, the ear listens in vain, for nature
there sits lamenting her children that
are not. Whatever may be said of Re
publican institutions and proprietary,
they can claim no partnership with
nature, who clings rather to her old
friends, feudalism and aristocracy. IF
there were reported anywhere in France
as great a number Of birds of gay plum
age and trilling song as may be seen
and heard almost anywhere few miles
from the metropolis, populations would
turn out in fancy costumes, carrying
guns and large bags, followed by monde
script dogs, and ready to watch whole
days for the chance of victim within
easy range.
In Italy birds are used for the amuse-
ment of children. A string is tied to a
birds leg. When the bird tries to fly, it
is pulled down by the string. When its
powers of flight are exhausted, it is
generally plucked alive, and dismem-
bered. The children do not understand
that beast OF bird can be fellow
creature. When expostulated with, they
answer, "Non Cristiano"- 1T is not a
Christian.

than is generally understood. A sun
bath costs nothing, and that is mis-
fortune, for people are deluded with the
idea that those things only can be good
or useful which cost money. But re-
member that pure water, fresh air and
sunlit homes, kept free from dampness,
will secure you from many heavy bills
of the doctors, and give you health and
vigor, which no money can procure. 1t
is well-established fact that people
who live much in the sun are usually
stronger and more healthy than those
whose occupations deprive them of sun
light. And certainly there is nothing
strange in the result, since the same law
applies with equal force to every ami
mate thing in nature. It is quite easy
to arrange an isolated dwelling so that
every room in it may be flooded with
sunlight some time in the day, and it is
possible that many town houses could
be so built as to admit more light than
they now receive.-Buiider and Wood

What Not to Kill.

The French Minister of Finance has
done a good deed in causing placard to
be posted which it would be wise for cit
liens of all countries to have before their
eyes. It tells farmers, sportsmen and
boys and others what creatures
fore by a multitude of ignorant people
considered to be pests to be abated-not
to kill, as follows:
Hedge-hog-Live mostly on mice,
small rodents, slugs and grubs-animals
hurtful to agriculture. Don't kill the
hedgehog.
Toad-Farm assistant; he destroys
from 20 to 80 insects per hour. Don't
kill the toad.
Mole-It is continually destroying
grubs, larvae, palmer worms and insects
injurious to agriculture. No trace OF
vegetation is found in it's stomach.
Don't kill the mole.
Birds-Each department loses several
millions annually through insects.
Birds are the only enemy able to con-
tend against them vigorously. They
are the great caterpillar-killers and ag.
ricultural assistants. Children, don't
disturb their nests.
Lady-bird-Never destroy, for they
are the best friends of farmers and hor-
ticulturists, and their presence upon
aphis-ridden plants is beneficial.

Horace Greeley ut Church.

We can corroborate the statement that
Mr.. Greeley was church napper, for,
on Sunday evening in May, 1865, that
we happened to be in New York, we ac-
cepted an invitation from Mr.. Greeley to
accompany him to DR.. Chapin's Church,
to hear preacher Of whose abilities he
spoke in the highest terms. Mr.. Gree
ley's pew, or that to which he conducted
us, was in the upper tier, directly in front
of the pulpit. After we had been seated
short time a large, fne-looking man
entered from the rear and walked rapid
ly up the pulpit stairs. This was the
noted preacher, who looked to us very
like an Englishman in his form and APP
pearance Scarcely were the prelim-
mary services over, or the text an
nounced, ere Mr.. Greeley, yielding, sunk
into the arms of Morpheus, and seemed
to be utterly oblivious to all that was
passing. He not only slept, but, hor-
rible to relate, he snored so that he could
be heard all around. Nor did he shake
off the influence Of the drowsy god I'M
til, the services concluded, the shutting
of feet in that vast multitude admon-
ished him that, having enjoyed the SER
vices in his way, it was time to be NOV
ing. IF Mr.. Greeley could know any
thing of that sermon, which was very
fine one, it would be mystery to us;
although we had heard before that he
could quote passages from a sermon de-
ivered while he seemed to be asleep.
Evidently the great journalist had entire
confidence in his pastor, and felt assured
that he did not need close attention to
keep him from preaching heresy.-

Rules for Skaters.
ever get out of anybody's road.

Never get out of anybody's road.
IF any one is in your road don't go
round him-go straight through him.
When you find yourself falling bring
some one else down with you, and be
sure to keep on top.
Don't burden yourself with any ex.
ira wraps !; shivering is pleasant occa-
sionally.
If you happen to own skates don lend
them to little brother, little sister, or any
one else.
If you get uncomfortably warm, hand
your ulster or sealskin sacque to the first
one who comes along. They'll keep ii
with pleasure.
Always carry temperance tracts about
you; then if you want to leave your girl
for few moaents to get hot lemon.
ade, tell her you see fellow in the dis
lance you want to give tract to she'll
believe you. If you give her pepper
mint lozenge when you come back, she'll
believe you more yet.
Skaters would do we'll to remember
that love on skates always runs smooth.
A fellow that owns good pair of skates,
commanding ulster and jaunting cap
can have pick and choice of girls.
If your straps and buckles get out OF
order, swear at them; bottled anger is
bad for the soul.
IF a green skater asks your assistance,
don't give it 4; people might take you for
a greeny.
If pretty girl comes along and cap
sizes at your feet, pick her up tenderly
and offer her your arm.
If your sister takes tumble, make
out you don't see her; it's terribly stu
pid work to play the agreeable to an old
poke like her,
If you fall, don't be in hurry get
ting up; you can take rest, and if a
dozen trip and double up over you, it
will only make sport for the crowd.
Don't learn to skate by the old-fash-
Toned methods; try spread-eagle at
once.-Al6any Sunday Times.

SunIit Rooms.

No article of furniture should be put
In room that will not stand sunlight,
for every room in dwelling should have
the windows so arranged that some time
during the day food OF sunlight viii
force itself into the apartment. The
Importance of admitting the light of the
sun freely to all parts of our dwellings,
cannot be too highly estimated. Indeed,
perfect health is nearly as much de-
pendent on pure sunlight as it is on
pure air. Sunlight should never be ex-
eluded except when SO bright as to be
uncomfortable to the eyes. And walks
should be in bright sunlight, so that the
eyes are protected by veil or parasol
when inconveniently intense. A sun
bath is of more importance in preserv-
ing a healthy condition of the body
