HowLittlc Birds Ride.

A German author, Adolph Ebeling,
writing in the Garte,olaatbe, asserts that
he found it currently believed at Cairo
that wagtails and other small birds cross
from Europe to Nubia and Abyssinia on
the backs of storks and cranes and de-
tails the results of conversations which
he had with several independent wit
nesses, all testifying to the same thing.
He then proceeds: SAT supper, in the
Hotel du Nile, Irelated the curious story
to all present, but, naturally enough,
found unbelieving ears. The only one
who did not laugh was the privy coun-
cillor Won Heuglin, the famous African
traveller and, excepting Brehm, the most
celebrated authority Of our time on the
birds of Africa. On asking his opinion
he remarked: Let others laugh; they
know nothing about it. do not laugh,
for the thing is we'll known to me. I
should have made mention of it in my
work if I had had any personal proof to
justify it, consider the case probable,
though I cannot give any warrant for it,
My discovery, if may so call it," con-
tinues Herr Ebeling, Il would have
kept to myself, even after Heuglin had
thus expressed himself, had [ not since
discovered new authority for it. In
the second edition of DR.. Petermann' S
great book oftravels find the following F:
PROF Roth, of Munich. related to me in
Jerusalem that the well-known swedish
traveller, Hedenborg, made an inter-
resting observation on the island Of
Rhodes, where he was staying. In the
autumn, when the storks came in hocks
over the seas to Rhodes, he often heard
the notes of small birds, without being
able to see them, but on one occasion he
observed party Of storl1s just as they
alighted, and saw several small birds
come off their backs, having been thus
evidently transported by them across

Making War on German Jews.

Uncertain quarters the Jews are hated
because they are accused of not assimi-
lating with the German nation; upon
their side, the Jews cling all the more
closely to their traditions because of
social ostracism. A Jew is excluded
from the army, if not by law, by the re-
cepton he meets with. OF the 1922
German officers do you know how many
are Jews? There are just ninety-one.
1t would never occur to us in France to
take account Of religious differences in
matters of everyday life. When we
buy a pair Of gloves, we do not ask
whether the shop-keeper goes to the
synagogue OF to Trinity Church. In
Germany, however, the anti-Semitic
spirit has made such Roadway that there
exist two distinct peoples, who will have
nothing to do with each other. The
anti-Semitics maintain an active propa-
ganda; they even publish the names of
those shopkeepers who employ Hebrews,
in order to establish species Of boy
colt. Upon their side, the Jews make
a point OF advertising their faith.
In the newspaper advertisements
one sees every day scores Of tradespeo-
pie who make a boast of being Jews;
Hebrew boarding houses, Hebrew
chemists, Hebrew bookstores, exactly as
if we had to deal with foreigners. Upon
many shop-doors there are Hebrew
signs. This is evidently a blunder
upon the part Of the Jews; they form a
people within people. But it is also
their strength, and the Germans grow
furious over the increasing power OF the
jew. During the last half-century the
Jews, with marvellous skill, have ac-
qr1ired large part Of the public wealth;
they are now credited with one-seventh
of the whole, an immense proportion,
when you consider that out of 100000
Germans, in round numbers. there are
but SIC, 900 Jews. There is the true Sc
cret of the anti-Semitic movement.
When money is in play passions are
fercer than over any other question.
The Germans are not so skillful in
handling coin as big guns; they know
how to extort thaler but not how to
make it breed. Not having the bust
ness capacity to cope with the Jew, the
German Christian foresees the day
when the Jew will be supre me.-Paris

In the Bay at St. Pierre, Martinique.

We anchor in limpid blue water; the
cannon shot is answered by a prolonged
thunder-clapping Of mountain echoes.
Then from the shore strange fotilla
bears down upon us. There is one
boat, two OF three canoes; but the bulk
Of the craft are simply white, wooded
frames-fat-bottomed structures made
from shipping-cases OF lard-boxes, with
triangular ends. In all these sit naked
boys-boys between 10 and IA years OF
age-averaging in color from fine clear
yellow to deep reddish brown OF choc-
olate tint. They row with two little
square fiat pieces of wood for paddles,
clutched in each hand, and these lid
shaped things are dipped into the water
on either side with absolute precision,
in perfect time. all the pairs Of little
naked arms seemingly moved by sim
gle impulse. There is much uncon-
scious grace in this padding, as well as
consummate skill. Then all about the
ships these ridiculous little boats begin
to describe circles, crossing and inter-
crossing so closely as almost to bring
them into collision, vet never touching.
The boys have simply come out to dive
for coins they expect passengers to fling
to them. All are chattering creole,
laughing, and screaming shrilly; every
eye, quick and bright as birds,
watches the faces of the passengers on
deck. "Tention-la!" shrek a dozen
soprani: some passengers hand has de-
scended into a money pocket, and all
are on the alert. Through the air,
twirling and glittering, tumbles an En-
glish shilling, and drops into the deep
water beyond the little feet. Instantly
all the lads leap, scramble. topple head
foremost, lout OF their little tubs, and
dive in pursuit. In the blue water
their 1.-the figures look perfectly red, all
but the soles Of their uptlrned feet,
which show quite white. Almost i'm
mediately they all rise again; one
holds up at arm's-length above the
water the recovered coin, and then puts
it into his mouth for safe-keeping. Coin
after coin is thrown in, and as speedily
brought up; shower Of small silver
follows, and not piece is lost. These
lads move through the water without
apparent effort, with the suppleness of
fishes. Most are decidedly fne-looking
boys, with admirably rounded limbs,
delicately-formed extremities. The
best diver and swiftest swimmer, how
ever, is lemon-colored lad; his face is
rather commonplace, but his slim figure
has the fluent grace of an antique bronze.

The Earth.

The Earth is one of the largest institu
tions in this section, and is really the
foundation of all mans operations.
The Earth is composed of three parts
water and one part land, and the sacred
writer informs us that it will be we'll
shaken before it is finally taken.
The Earth is round. The inhabitants
are also round when there is any fun
going on, or free lunch is advertised.
The Earth is dyspeptic, being con-
tinually troubled with heartburn. She
often gets bilious, and throws the trout
blesome bile off her stomach, from her
big black mouth, which is called Vesu-
vius.
Some men want the Earth. and are
only waiting for it to get cool enough
to handle with safety, OF harvest init
tens.
"The Earth is the Lords and the full
ness thereof" but many of His man-ser.
wants are trying hard to get controlling
interest in the stock.
The Earth swings on it's own axis.
Most Of its inhabitants swing somebody
else's axes, which they forget to return
OF pay for.
The Earth's axis sticks out thirty-five
OF forty feet at each end, and these
points are called the poles. The top is
the North Pole, and the bottom one is
the South Pole.
Around these poles has been deposited
immense piles of ice, for the double pur-
pose Of preventing hot journals, from
continual friction caused by the rapidly
revolving sphere, and also of preventing
inquisitive visitors from monkeying with
the machinery, and either pinching their
meddlesome fingers, OF whiting chunks
from the poles for souvenirs.
These mammoth ice-houses serve all
other purpose, having become conven-
lent, sure, and popular mode of sui
eide.
When man gets tired Of life, and is
gun shy and afraid Of poison, he adver-
tises an Arctic expedition, which soon
brings to his door a score or more Of
kindred souls, who also want to die.
They rig up ship and away they go.
The suicidal expedition is, as a rule,
eminently successful. After reaching
the ice-house, they eat all their corned
beef and cabbage, salt pork and Sara
toga chips; drink up the contents Of the
medicine case-half pint bottles mostly
then exc out living death of few
short, sunless weeks OF months, trying
to get fat on icicle, rubber boots, and
fur overcoats, when the living death is
swallowed up by dead death. Then
the party, one after another hides where
there will be the least probability of
ever finding him, and draws his last
short, icy breath by the shimmering
light of the aurora borealis.
The next season searching party of
would-be suicides goes after them, and
either dies in their tracks or returns
manned for life, or frozen so that they
never get thawed out, and thus the good
work goes on. The Earth has frequent
attacks of ague, and when its shaking
fits come on, it is most shocking sight,
though the inhabitants always have
"rattling" time.

to call their city the Venice o. the East.
Houses project over the canals, with

their shopping in boats and, while
