THE RELATIVE SPEED.
In regard to the relative speed at which the
different species travel all that can be said at
present is that those which migrate later have,
as a rule, the highest rate Thus the average
speed of the robin, cowbird and golden-shafted
flicker is about II miles day. while the aver
age of the summer redbird, Baltimore oriole
ruby-thrOated hummer and nighthawk is %
miles. If We try to calculate the relative
speed of the different families, we find
that some of the species in family mi
CRATE early and slowly others late and rapidly,
bringing the average of most of the families
| very close to the general average of all, which,
as already stated, is % miles a day. Birds have
seldom been seen while on their way in undis-
| turbed migration at night. 1t is known that
birds do not move rapidly, as rule, when mi
grating IN the daytime. but from the meager
material at hand it may be inferred that the
speed at night is considerably greater. During
day-migration the smaller land birds rarely fly
faster than Is miles an hour, though the
larger birds, such as cranes, geese,
ducks, DC, move much more rapidly. At Red
Rock, Indian territory, between August 25 and
September g. 1854. the cliff swallows and night
hawks were conspicuous every morning and
evening slowly drifting south and southwest in
their fall migration. For an hour and a half
parties of birds would pass by in almost I'M
broken succession. Many hundred nighthawks
were seen during a single evening, and the
number of swallows was much greater. The
Result OF timing them on several occasions
gave a rate of about 10 to IA miles an hour, the
former being the more usual speed. This slow
rate was caused by the irregularity of the
flight, as the birds captured their evening and
morning meals on the wing. The morning
fight lasted an hour only, and was made at
about the same speed. Thus, distance Of
about 80 miles would be travelled by each indi-
yidual during the morning and evening to-
gether, but no one can say how much farther,
If any, they travelled during the night.
THE HOST OF wARBLERs.
The material gathered from the keepers Of
lighthouses seems to indicate that neither
Swallows nor Nighthswks migrate to any extent
after night fall. The advance of the hosts of
Warblers, as they move necessarily forward
from tree-top to tree-top, is still slower, pro-
badly being but few miles during a whole
day. Geese in their northward fight along the
Atlantic coast traverse great distances, some
times covering from 500 to 600 miles at q single
fight, and it cannot be said positively that the
larger birds do not do the same over the land.
Still, the records SO far made seem to indicate
that the smaller land birds, such as Warblers,
Finches, and the like, do not perform long
journeys at one time when over land, but their
voyages over the Gulf of Mexico prove that
even these small species possess great power OF
flight.

There is a point, however, in the line of
house-cleaning at which, nautically speaking
breakers may appear and if care and tact be
not employed stormy time may result. 1t is
when the overhauling extends into the Office,
library, study, or whatever name that indi-
vidual known as "the man Of the house"
chooses to dignity the apartment he maintains
as his personal sanctum.
The position OF q man in his own house is
anomalous 1t appears paradoxical at first
glance to assert that the master Of domain
should seem to hold place in it on sufferance
That such q state of affairs does exist in many
homes will hardly be denied by the close
observer OF domestic arrangements.
One Of the most inexplicable mysteries to the
average mans mind is the necessity Of a gene
raj house-cleaning when he knows each room
has been swept and busted once week at least.
the windows occasionally polished, the
closets put to rights now and then,
and the pantry, kitchen and cellar subject
to a constant inspection. Such man must be
dealt with artfully and cautiously-when so, his
den" may be invaded and thoroughly renova-
ted without his being in the least the wiser.
The designing of the method to be pursued de-
mands as much consideration as the planning
Of campaign in war or politics. It is strong
point, in carrying out the program, to resist
the temptation, so common with industrious
women, OF rushing into the heat Of the conflict
