The Flight Of Birds.

The speed of birds offers great vario-
ty. When the flight does not exceed
thirty miles an hour they are consider
ed slow flyers. The speed of the swal-
low is computed at ninety miles, the
hawk one hundred and fifty miles, while
that of the swift is said to attain the as
founding velocity of one hundred and
eighty miles an hour. The endurance
displayed by birds upon the wing is
wonderful, and many instances are re-
corded which almost exceed belief. In
the time Of Henry Nv. of France there
was falcon which became famous in
Europe by flying from Fontainebleau to
Malta, one thousand three hundred and
fifty miles in twenty-four hours. But
without going SO far back we may on a
summers afternoon watch flock of
swallows for an hour without detecting
an interval of rest. Their skimming,
busy, rapid wings never seem to tire
What strength of flight, too, must be
required in those annual migrations
which bring the winter water fowl
across the north sea to England fro-a
Scandinavia, and the summer visitors
the nightingales and swallows, from
Southern Europe, or Africa even. Long
feats of flight are performed by some
others, such as the frigate or man-of-
war bird, which is sometimes found
hunting for food more than a thousand
miles from shore. Yet it never seems
to tire. or to seek rest either on the sur
face of the sea or in the rigging of
ship, and it is not known to visit the
land except at the return of the breeding
season.

Tha Mnhammadan Qraad.

In considering its future it is not easy
for candid English mind to escape the
admission that, for all purposes of argu-
ment, the Mohammedan creed must be
treated as no vain superstition, but a
true religion, true inasmuch as it is a
form of the worship of that one true
God in whom Europe. in spite OF her
modern reason, still believes. As such
it is entitled to whatever credit we may
give true religions of prolonged vitality;
and, while admitting the eternal truth
of Christianity for ourselves, we may be
tempted to believe that in the Arabian
mind, if in no other, Islam, too, will
practically prove eternal. In its simplest
form Islam was but an emphatic renewal
of the immemorial creed of the Semites,
and rs long as pure Semitic race is left
in the world the revelation of Mecca may
be expected to remain necessary link
i'll their tradition. No modern argu-
ments of science are ever likely to affect
the belief of Arabia that God had at
sundry times and in sundry places spok-
en- to man by the mouth of His prophets;
and among these prophets Mohammed
will always be the most conspicuous be-
cause the most distinctly national. Also
the law of Islam-I am not speaking
merely of the Sheriat as we now see it
will always remain their law, becauseit
is the codification of their custom, and
its political organization their political
organization, because it is founded on
practical coeval with their history. Last
ly, Semitic thought is strong leaven
which everywhere pervades the minds
of nations. aliens though they be, who
have once admitted it; and it will not
easily be cast out. We have seen in
Europe, even in England, land never
brought physically into contact with
Arabia, how long Arabian thought, fit
cred as it was through France and Spain
to our shores, has dominated our ideas.
Chivalry, notion purely Bedouin, is
hardly yet extinct among us. Romance,
the offspring of pre-Islamic Arabia, is
still common motive of our action,
and our poets express it still, to the neg
lect of classic models, in the rhymed
verse of Yemen. The mass of our peo-
pie still pray to the God of Abraham, and
turn eastward toward that land which
is Arabia's half-sister, the Holy Land of
the Jews. If then we, who are mere
aliens, find it impossible to escape this
subtle influence, what must it be for
those races wholly or half Arabian who
have for centuries been impregnated
with Islam, the quintessence of Arabian
thought? Who shall fix the term of its
power and say that it cannot renew it.

Webster.

When Webster failed, 1t was
moral failure. Moral weakness was
the cause of the acceptance of money
and of the fall of the 7th Of March.
Intellectually, he ranks among the

His mind was not profoundly Origi-

in poets and artists, which men have
agreed to call genius. We watch the

far beyond our reach but we under

what muscles are needed. We OBJ

all, both the mind and Its operations.
1t is intellect raised to any power
you please, but 1t is still an intellect,
form and process with which we
are familiar. There is none of the
battling sleight of hand, the inexplica.
bic intuitions of genius. Webster
has been accused of appropriating the
fruits of other mems labors to his
own uses and glory. This is perfect
ly idle criticism. Webster had the
common quality of greatness, a quick
perception of the value of suggestions
and thoughts put forth by other men.
and the capacity to detect their value
and use them; making them bear
fruit instead of remaining sterile in
the hands of the discoverer. But
after all is said, we come back to the
simple statatement that he was a very
great man intellectually, one of the
greatest men of his age. He is one
of the2chief figures of our history,
and his fame as a lawyer, an orator.
and statesman Is part of that
history. There he stands before us,
grandly, wildly, with all his glories
and all his failings. The uppermosS

devotion to the Union, and of the
great work which he did in strengthen.

he was so gifted. All men, even
those who censure him most severely,
acknowledge his greatness. But it is
not his fame which will plead most
strongly for him when his faults are
brought to the bar of history to re-
ceive judgment. 1t will be the
thought of the united country the
ideal of his hopes, the inspiration of
the noblest efforts of his intellect,

while they condemn, "Forgive him,

A Little Two Year ODDS idea of a Baby.

A little two year old tot, the daughter
of well-known resident of this city,
received among her birthday presents a
little gutta percha doll of the kind which
squeaks when compressed. Against
this doll the little one manifested the
strongest repugnance, callingita "nassy,
kwealiy dolly" and could never be in
duced to recognize it as legitimate
member of her dolly family. Last week
another dolly came into that household
of the kind which the angels are said to
bring, and the little heroine of this mar
rative was taken to its mothers chamber
to see the new arrival. Barely had she
caught a glimpse of the little stranger,
ensconsed in its first fluffy, downy suit,
than it asserted its infantile prerogative
and uttered shrill squeak" Hastily
spriuging from her fathers arms the
precocious connoisseur in dolls rushed
from the room in disgust, screaming ut
the top of her voice: "Anudder Massey,
kweaky dolly, anudder Massey, kweaky
dolly,' and would not for a long time
be recOnciled.
