Some odois so blend with past happier

For they bring back the faces and forms that

And walks In the wild woods mid sunsets Of

A fragrance exhales from a flower that 1

And tits OF fresh blossoms were hottest ,rea-

And myspirit grew fsin. with ecsta,ic emotion
For felt in that flower lay q life long de

Still holds me with all the old passionate

THE SPRINGS OF OAK.

The springs to which OAK OWES its
corrupted Latin name are certainly very
curious and remarkable. They rise in
the centre of the town in q large basin
inclosed by ratings. Over the water is
a perpetual cloud of steam that CON-
pletely obscures the view when the
weather is cold. AT other times one
can see the holes in the ground from
which hot water and air bubbles are
eternaliy rising. 30 great is the How of
water that the municipality can only
employ a very small portion of 1t for
bathing and drinking purposes. People
are allowed to bring pitchers and pals
and tap as they please for household
use. Its temperature is 1880 Fahren-
heit. These thermal springs cause q
moist heat and that makes the climate
of Dax very enjoyable to mosquitoes.
Like all mineral waters put to CONNER,
eial purposes these are credited with
marvellous medicinal properties. All
the ills to which flesh is heir except
death, they are supposed to cure. The
ancient wall was almost perfect until
1858, when the intelligent Dacquois,
finding 1t greatly in the way of their
desire of expansion, proceeded to pull
it down. They would have completed
the task they set themselves had not the
Government interfered in time to save
just "enough Of the past for the future
to grieve."
To these people, in whom the blood OF
their temporary rulers--the Vandals--
still courses Rayly, belongs the honor OF
nearly destroying o work Of interest.

wHATIrIs no HAVE PATH.

There Is the story Of the French
criminal who died because he believed
that he was being bled to death, while
In reality his arms were only pricked,
and sound of trickling water made to
initiate the noise of the blood flowing
forth. In the same way 1t 10 recorded
how Mr.. Loutherbourg cured large
numbers Of patients by attacking the
imagination. Among those who had
visited him was man who had been
troubled with great pains and swelling,
particularly about the loins, 20 that he
could not walk across the room. On
entering Mr.. Loutherbourg looked
steadfastly at him and said
know your complaint; look at
me-" They continued looking at each
other for some minutes; then Mr..
Loutherbourg asked II he did not feel
nome warmth at his loiDs, whereupon
the man replied that he did. Then
you will feel In few minutes much
greater warmth" After short pause
the man said: =" feel a. IL person
were pouring boiling water upon me. !"
Still looking in his face, Mr. Louther-
bourg said; How did you come here,
sir?" Iu coach" "Then &c and
discharge your coach and walk back to
town."
| The coach was discharged and the
patient walked to town, and next day
he walked five hours about town with
out fatigue. Similarly, Sidney Smith
relates how the banker. poet Rogers
caught bad cold simply from I'm agin
ing window to be open, but which all
the time was shut. 1t WAS at dinner
party, and the great sheet of plate glass
had deceived Rogers, who was sitting
in what he thought to be dangerous
draught. To quote further case DR.
ISigmond rela,es how a poor woman
having applied to a physician for 6
lcure of al affection of the breast, he
gave her prescription. which he direc
ted be applied 10 the breast.
She returned at the end of few day
to offer her grateful thanks for the cure
which he had effected but on making
inquiry as to the mode of action, b,
ascertained that his patient had very
carefully tied his prescription rounc
her neck. Faith cures of this kind arr
of constant occurrences, and we know
how many persons, when suffering from

nervous system, have been restor I'd II
their abnormal state of health by simp I
faith. Thus startling effects have &c /.
sior ally followed the swallowing o
such make believe remedies as Pill

accounts, therefore, for the cures wliict
were wrought In days gone by, ever
when medicine was In a backward

were often given 10 patients suffering

DIsAPPEARANCE OF REPTILES,

Reptiles are at present small
and dying race. They have seen their
hest days. But in the secondary age, a 3
Tennysou graphically puts 1t, "a mon =
strous elf was of old the lord and mag
ter of the earth" At the beginning of
that time the mamm ais had not been
developed at all, and even 81 its close
they were but feeble folk, represented
only ty weak creatures like the smaller
pouched animals of Austria and Tas-
mania. Accordingly, during the Sec
ondary period the reptile had things
every where pretty much their own
way, ruling over the earth as ab.
tolutely as man and mammals do
now.
Like all dominant types. for the time
being, they spit up into many and va
rious forms. In the sea they become
huge padding enaliosaurians; on the
drylaHd they became great, erect dine
saurians, in the air they became terri

they inherited the earth, and than al
last they hogan to fail, In competition,
with their own mere developed d. =
See d n 4, the birds and mammals.
One by one they died out before = Q
face of the younger fauna, until at last
only few crocodiles and alligators, u
few giant snak es, and a few turtles re-
main among the wee ekulking lizards
and geokos TO remind us of the enormous
reptilian types that crowded to the sur
face of the tiassic oceans. Long before
the actual arrival of true birds upon the
scene, however, sundry branches of the
reptilian class had been gradually ap-
proximatlnR to and foreshadowing the
future fly ing things.
Indeed, one may say, at an cal y
period, the central rep,ilian stock, COD
sisting of the long, 1.-THE, four legged
forms like the lizards, still closely
allied in shape to their primitive,newt
like and eel-like ancestors, began to
divide latterly into sundry important
branches. Some of them lost theil
limbs and became serpenis others ac-
quired bony body coverings and be-
came turtles but the vast maj ority
went off in one or two directions, eithef
as fish like sea saurians, or as bird lik'
land saurians. 1t is with this last divi
sion alone that we shall have largely u
deal in tracing out the pedigree of on
existing birds.
