The Greatest Of All Ministers

Morere, the tenor, has been shut up in
an asylum, incurably mad over his pet
hobby, whistling.
For years he cultivated that hobby,
until he was able to emit a blast that
would brighten the cab horses on the bou-
levards of Paris, and drive cornet play
ers wild with envy.
Once he was arrested and fined for
disturbing the public peace when he had
only whistled an air while walking home
from the opera-loud enough, however,

On another occasion he was singing in
'Faust"a at the Grand Opera, and, hav-
ing a cold, gave some false notes. The
audience Kissed. Down he sprang into
the orchestra, and cried: ''Since you
have begun to hiss, let me toll you that
you don't understand the art in the
least. Now, listen" Then he gave a
whistle a minute long, and loud enough
to make a calliope sick. There was no
more kissing, and the opera went on.
Atpresenth he believes himself commits
stoned to learn to whistle loud enough
to drown the sounds of a locomotive and
all the bells of Notre Dame together;

Filiel Devotion Of a Bird.

We have q saying that charity begins
1t home, and it has been added that a
great deal of tho charity that begins at
home stays there, OF this narrow sort
OF benevolence, too, we find examples
among the animals. There is the bar
bet, for instance. 1t is a solitary bird,
and sits most of the time in morose
silence on a twig, waiting for its food
Tin the shape of an insect) to fly by.
Sometimes it is said to rouse itself and
make q descent upon the nest of some
smaller bird and eat all the little n
Certainly, one would not look for any
sort of be%nevolence from such q bird;
and yet it offers a very striking and
beautiful example of the begin-at-home-
and-stay-there kind.
The celebrated naturalist, Levaillant,
who has told SO many interesting things
about the birds of Africa and South
America, says that he discovered a bar
bets nest in which there were five birds.
-Four OF them were young and vigor-
Gus, but the fifth was SO old and weak
that when it was put into a cage with
its comrades it could not move, but lay
dying IN the corner where it had been
placed.
When food was put into the cage the
poor old bird could only look at it long
inggly. without having the, strength to
drag itself within reach Of ii. Thenit was
that the younger birds manifested q
singular spirit of kindness. Quickly,
and even with an air of tenderness, asst
seems, they carried food to the decrepit
old bird, and fed it as if it had been
only a fedgling. Struck by this spec
tacle, the naturalist examined the nest
from which the birds had been taken,
and found it was full of husks and the
remains of insects, showing plainly that
the old bird must have been maintained
a long time by its vigorous companions,
which probably were its own offspring.
Further study of other birds of the same
species convinced the naturalist that il
was the custom for the old and infirm
birds to be cared for by the young and
strong.
There are several different species Of
barbets found in Africa and South
America, and though not graceful in
shape, many of them are exceedingly
beautiful in plumage. They get their
amt of barbet from the French word
barbe, meaning beard, because they
have tufts of stiff hair at the base of the
bill. Naturalists place them in a genus
called Bucco, and some persons call
them puf-birds, because they have an
odd way of putting out the feathers all
over the body, which then looks more
like a bale of feathers than q bird

An Eccentric Editor.

The late Charles Hazewell, of the
Boston Traveller, was one of the most
curious ornaments the journalism of
this country ever had. His memory
was p%rodigious. Inmatters of American
history many fine critics placed him
above Bancroft as an authority. Ii his
library at Revere, some eight miles
from Boston, he had a choice collection
of rare books to the number of five
thousand, and knew them as another
knows her child. He could repeat the
"Scarlet Letter. word for word, from
lid to lid. But his greatest fest of
memory was to repeat the sovereigns of
England from the old Danish days to
Victoria, giving the number of children
each had, the dates of their birth and
death, and the entire collateral connec-
tons. What is the sense of blowing
Macauley up to the skies because he
was able to call off the Popes of Rome
and the Archbishops of Canterbury in
their historical order when our native
institutions have produced this greater
miracle in Hazewell? With all his
irritability of temper, the old gentleman
was as tender-hearted as a woman. He
knew his strength, and in the line of his
duties had one infexible rule. If the
editor didn't want his matter he could
topple it over into the waste-basket,
but if he daredto change a word he did
so at the peril of his life. His great
work was to write a review of the week,
which always appeared on Saturday and
gave the Traveller a reputation for
brains which it has now lost-probably
forever. The way Hazewell would Jug
gle his facts and dates and historic
precedents was wonderful to behold.
His bump of reverence was alarmingly
small. He was, perhaps, the most
gifted and original artist in profanity
ever bred under this great republican
form of government, and could compete
in this accomplishment with the Red
headed Ranger ofthe Rio Grande, other
wise known as Tom Ochiltree. In his
last hours he turned to his son and said:
edward, bury me not deep in some
crowded church-yard, but near the
grounds surface in Christ's green
pastures, where my remains can f~ertilize
and fructify when my brain is gone."-

A Nine Days Wonder.

Common as the telephone now is, let
me remind you that if but six short years
ago it had been suggested to you that
we should within two years of that time
be able to reproduce at a distance not
merely sounds, but articulate speech,
and not merely articulate speech, but
every trick and accent of the voice of
the sender, SO that any n listening
could say: CHATS my friend" or
..That is a stranger" or .'That is a
Scotchman," or .'That is an Irishman"
who is speaking, would you not have
secuted it as the language of an enthu-
siast? Yet it is but six years ago. In
this age the world very Q o becomes
accustomed to marvels; itdoes not Won
der long-not even the proverbial nine
days. / believe if tomorrow you found
a man comfortably flying from the top
of this building to the end of the pier.
and alighting there without injury, it
might attract spectators for about a
week to see a daily repetition of the
flight, and at the end of that time they
would pay no more attention to it than
if they had been in the habit of seeing
men fly ever since they were born.-Ssr

There is scarcely a man so hardened
but that one tender spot may be found
in his heart. If that is gently touched,
the man responds.
At a religious meeting in Scotland,
the following anecdote was told because
it illustrated a drunkard's se~nsitiveness
to the influence of a dead child whom
he had tenderly loved:
A fisherman, who habitually drank
to excess, used to sail from a small
cove on the Scotch coast to the fishing
grounds, several miles outin the ocean
There was no lighthouse to guide him,
not even a beacon-light, and the chan
mel was intricate. When the fisherman
had taken q drop too much and night

tering that COW His little son used to
watch for his fathers coming, and as
oon as he saw him he would run down
to the point, and cry out:
'tSteer straight for me, father, and
you'll get safe home!!" +,
The boy died, and one evening tho
father vas sitting at his lonely fireside.l
His conscience troubled him, for he had

he heard the voice of his boy ring out
through the darkness: /;
"steer straight for me, father, and

Springing to his feet, he called out: |
"Your right this time, my SOM"
From that moment he was a changed
man, one whose sobriety and pious life
attested the genuineness of his convic-
ton of truth and his purpose.

The Mother Of Men.

Some one, who had noticed the infu-
ence OF wives in promoting the good or
evil fortunes of their husbands, said:
"a l must ask his wife's leave to be
rich." We doubt not that asimilar OBJ
servation of the influence of mothers
upon their son would justify the re-
mark: ga man must ask his mothers
leave to be great"
Years ago, a family of four, a father,
a mother, and two sons, dwelt in a
small house, situated in the toughest
locality of the rocky town of Ashford,
Conn. The family was very poor.
A few acres of stony land, a dozen
sheep and one COW, supported them.
The sheep clothed them, and the COW
gave milk, and did the work of a horse
in blowing and narrowing. Corn-bread,
milk and b~ean-porridge was their fare.
The father being laid aside by ill
health, the burden of supporting the
family rested on the mother. She did
her work in the house and helped the
boys do theirs on the farm. Once, in
tho dead of winter, M of the boys re-
quired a new suit of clothes. There was
neither money nor wool on hand. The
mother sheared the half-grown fleece
from the sheep, and in n week the
suit was on the boy. The shorn sheep
was protected from the cold by gar
ment made of braided straw.
The family lived four miles from the
''meeting-house." Yet, every Sunday,
the mother and her two sons walked to
church. One of these sons became the
pastor of the church in Franklin, Conn.,,
to whom he preached for sixty-one
years. Two generations went from that
church to make the world better.
The other son also became a minister,
ind then one of the most successful of
college presidents. Hundreds of young
men were moulded bv him.

which some times no necessity exists.

their growth of hair is enormous. The
civilized hat is a nuisance from

temporarily lost. 1t monopolizes the
use of both hands on a windy day. It

its place-which is intrinsically so awk-
