LONDON BIRDS.

We have sung for long in the low-walied garden,
We have fitted among the ivy-leaves;
And oh! we know that some hearts will pardon
The tiny sins of such tuneful thieves.
We have flown and hoped, to settle and futter
Near some poor toiler's dull window-pane;
How happy we were, when we heard her utter
geptler speech, for our song in the rain!
We have seen some London sights; one neighbor
Tending lonelier, poorer waif,
Sharing the fruits of hard toll and labor,
To lessen her grief, to keep her safe;
An old man led by tender daughter,
To feel the kiss of the April sun;
A little child lifting jug of water,
To help the sick woman whose work was done.

normal skull he ever measured was
as much az 2,075 cubic centimeters, the
smallest $50 cubic centimeters, this be-
longing to one of those peculiar people
in the cenrer oil Ceylon who are now
nearly extinct. The largest average
capacity of any human head he has
measured is that of q race of long, fat
headed people on the west coast Of
Africa. The Laplanders and Esqui-
maux, though very small people. have
very large skulls, the latter giving an
average measurement of 1,546. The
English skull, of the lower grades, shows
1.642; the Japanese, 1,486; Chinese,
1,42f; modern italian, 1,475; ancient
Egyptian, 1,464; Hindoos, 1905.
