A On er Bird.

Innumerable pufins and birds of their
kind swarm upon all the rocky coasts OF
Great Britain. The putin is a member
of a great bird family which is at home
in the arctic circle. AUX is the generic
name The true aux, it is recorded,
rarely quits its frigid surroundings. 1t
is BIRD of the sea, and only when
breeding does it forsake the water Its
wings no not seem to have been intended
to fly with, but to serve as paddles or
oars to assist the webbed feet OF the bird
in propeling it through the water 80
swift a swimmer is the aux of the arctic
seas that it has been known to beat a
ships boat named by six strong rowers'
The black. billed aux is q variety that
is common both in the far North ana
about the British and neighborlng
coasts. The Esquimaux look to it Tor
food and clothing, and during the breed
ing season it swarms in the northern
latitudes in such numbers that the E
quimaux are rarely disappointed, oa
the British and Irish coasts it inhablls
the rocks, sitting in intermnable rows
one above another, along the ledges, ana
looking astonishingly stupid. lhl'
variety of the aux has wings which i
can fly with, but which it uses also as
paddles, after tho fashion of the true
aux of the icy seas, In color il is daFE

Oil Wei Secrecy.

An oil well is a mystery" when its
yield is kept secret by the owners, for
tn purpose of making money by affect
ing the price Of oil in the market If
new well proves to be a gusher, the
price of oil is lowered; if but 'small
producer" or a dry hole, prices 90 up
So, by keeping secret the character of a
new vel, those on the "inside" are able
to take advantage of any changes that
occur in the price of oil through the
rumors which Immediately get ah)at CON
cerning it, and to make money by buy
ing and selling oil-speculating, as it is
called. 1t sometimes happens, even,
that false rumors are circulated by in
'erested persons. Every effort is made,
however, to discover what the mystery
really is. "Scouts" are sent out for that
esp, cial purpose, and they use every de-
vice and stratagem to obtain the desired
information, sometimes even climbing
trees and end avoring with field glasses
to spy out the secret. On the other
hand, every effort is made to prevent
them from learning anything; and some
amusing and exciting incidents occur in
consequence. A guard is on duty at
the well, day and night, and outsiders
are kept at as great a distance as posi-
bic. st. Nicholas.

Endurance

We wend our way along this vale Of tears
With troubles sthornsbeneath our shrinking
feat;
On Times harsh scroll we notch the phantom
years,
While life's long toll is left all incomplete.
We feel the agony of mortal pain,
And writhe bene .th the surgeons probing
knife;
We starve, we thirst, we wait for love in
vain,
And wrestle with despair in deadly s.rife.
Above the graves that shrine our treasures
lost,
We bare oar brea IS to Him who dealt the
blow,
While round our numbing hearts dissolye'
/. y, the frost,
And griors full fount finds saving over
flow.
And so we climb the rounds Of care and pain,
And serve in suffering till the goal we
gain.

To France belongs the credit of giving
to modern medicine a scientific system of
massage; and yet, inspite Of many able
works, and various discussions at the
Academy Of Sciences and other learned
societies, it remained a sort of secret
practice, almost wholly under the
domain of empiricism; but with the
waning interest of French physicians the
Germans and Scandinavians took up the
subject; and about ten years AGO Dr.
Mczger Of Amsterdam brought massaoe
to be acknowledged as a highly valuable
method. He placed it upon the basis of
practical know'edges, thus taking it out
Of the hands of ignorant charatans. He
did not write much about it, but simply
employed the teaching of facts. To
physicians who wrote to him for an cx-
plantations Of his treatment he only said.
"Comc and see" To Prof. Won Mosen
geil is owing the present accurate and
scientific knowlei ige of the subject; bv

he has brought massage into high es.
