Flight of Birds.

It has been remarked that sailing vessels do not lay down their course upon the arc of great circle, as they would if distance were the only matter to be considered. The prevailing winds, the currents in the ocean, and many other aids or hindrances to navigation have to be taken into account.
 It is of interest to find that migratory birds are equally sensible of the ad- vantages of different routes. This is perfectly noticeable in their crossing of mountain ranges. A Russian trav- eller in Central Asia writes of this habit ot the wild fowl: '=
 "The observations on the spring flight at Lob-nor afforded new proofs that birds of passage do not take the shortest meridional course, but prefer more favorable, though more circu- itous route.
 ssAll the flocks, without exception, which appeared at Lob-nor, came from west-southwest, occasionally from southwest and west. Not bird flew direct from the south, over the Altin- tagh Mountains, thus proving that mi gratory birds, or at all events, water fowl, will not venture to cross the lofty and cold Thibetan highlands on their passage from the trans-Himalayan countries, but pass over this difficult country at it's narrowest point"

THE HEALTH.

, It is asserted by those who have tried it that malaria and epidemics are avoided by those who drink cup of hot coffee before venturing into the morning air. Burned on hot coals it is disinfectant for sick room. By some of our best physicians it is con- sidered specific in typhoid fever.
 When it does not seem possible to purify sleeping room by opening the windows, the air will be less poisonous if bowl or basin of water is kept in it. The colder the water, the greater the capacity to absorb the impure gases. Water is not fit to drink left in sleeping room unless covered care fully.
 The way to get the better of bill ious system without blue pills or qui- nine is to take the juice of one, two or three lemons, as the appetite craves, in as much ice water as is pleasant to drink, without sugar before going to bed. In the morning, on rising, or at least half an hour before breakfast, take the juice of one lemon in goblet of water. That will clear the system of humors and bile, with mild efficacy, without any of the weakening effects of calomel or Congress water.
 The preacher of Plymouth pulpit, Lyman Abbott, gives this prescription for insomnia: have tried every expe- dient for going to sleep, but l have never found any comparable to simple resolution. stand at the gateway of my mind, resolutely shut out every thought that attempts to enter, and suc- ceed. When they find they cannot get in they give it up and leave me. l am not always equally successful; but can now generally go to sleep in any time on five minutes notice, and, if need be, for five minutes nap. There Is great power in resolute I will. I believe few of us realize how much power there is in it.
 The sand bag is invaluable in the sick room. Get some clean, fine sand, dry it thoroughly in kettle on the stove. Make bag about eight inches square of flannel, fill it with dry sand, sew the opening carefully together and cover the bag with cotton or linen. This will prevent the sand from sitting out, and will also enable you to heat the bag quickly by placing in the oven or even on top of the stove. After once using this you will never again attempt to warm the feet or hands of sick person with bottle of hot water or brick. The sand holds the heat a long time, and the bag can be tucked up to the back without hurting the in- valid. It is good plan to make two or three of the bags and keep them on hand, ready for use at any time when | needed

An English Democrat.

The following quotation is from g recent speech by John Morley, the probable successor of Gladstone. as leader of the Liberal party of England:
 "There are other questions which will try the House of Lords-other questions looming very close which will try them more even than the Irish question. These questions are slowly ripening. There is a new spirit in the air, new political spirit, and there is new intention on the part of the Liberals. There are ques- tions upon which the heart, the con- science, the mind of the people of the two countries is set. Their heart, their conscience, their mind is set upon making the lot of the toilers of this land better than it has been. They are not afraid, the democracy of England and Scotland is not afraid, of standing up to new ideas, of standing up to new questions. They will not be very tender of vested interests. They will be still less tender of class privileges. But let us go on. Do not let us be afraid of criticism in our own camp. Let us go on. Let us discuss; let us discuss fairly. Yes, gentlemen, we have begun our march upon one more stage in that great journey by which Humanity is always emancipating it. self. say to you in words, I know not where l have met them:
 Look not mournfully into the past, that

 Wisely improve the present, that is thine.

GOING AWAY.

Lean closer, darling, let thy tender heart Beat against mine that aches with heavy
 woe;
 Drop thy quick woman's tears to soothe thy
 smart.
 An me that could ease my sorrow so! But men must work, sweetheart, and women
 weep, So says the song, SO runs the worlds be
 hest;
 Yet time will pass, and tender comfort creep With hope in company unto thy breast. - Now ere we part, while yet on lip apd~cheek Close kisses finger, clinging, passionate, There is . farewell word love fain would
 speak,
 A tender thought love labors to translate In earnest words, whose memory through
 the years Shall calm thy soul, and dry thy falling tears. If in thy garden when the roses blow, Or by the shelter of thine evening fire, In any winter gloom, or summer glow, Thy soul floats seawsrd with 8 fond desire CFonder and stronger than thy tender use), Think thou, "One longs for me across the
 foam;" And if, sweet-falling like the evening dews, A special peace enfolds thine heart and
 home, Then say thou, dear, with softly bated breath, ''In some lone wilderness beyond the sea, Whether in light of life, or gloom of death, Ny lovers spirit speaks to God for met' Kiss me, beloved, without doubt or dread, We are not sundered, though farewell be
 said.

GREETING.

GREETING.
 Each visitor to Faneuil Hall
 May on the superintendent call;
 You'll welcome be. "The visitors Book"
 Lies on the table. You may look
 And read the name of many son
 And daughter, too; then write your own;
 No fee to pay. With each New Year
 We print how many folks come here.
 It is estimated that of the great number of visitors at the hall during the year, about one-third of them take heed of the sign above referred to and sign their names and places of resi- dence in the visitors book. During the year 1889 there were 9465 names of persons, claiming residences in nearly al! parts of the world placed upon the book, which is an increase of 89 over the number on the book of the preceding year. This is somewhat noticeable, because the hall was closed for repairs about three weeks in the summer season when sightseers are most numerous. The book of 1889 shows the number of visitors by months to be as follows: January, 324; Feb ruary, 28o; March, 595; April, 671; May, 9e5; June, 392; July, Al; Au- gust, 2764; September, 1899; October, 975; November, 525; December, SIS.

SnOw-Packing.

nOW-PacK1nS.
 We are not apt to think of the use of ice, or the obtaining of freezing tenn perature in warm weather to preserve meats and other perishable articles, as a practice of quite recent origin. Our grandfathers, and even in many cases our fathers, did not eut-ice in winter, and accordingly had no store of it to draw upon in summer. The natural coolness of an underground cellar had to serve for the preservation of such articles of food as would be spoiled by heat, and the butter was kept hard by dangling it in pail in deep well.
 The Romans, however, understood and practised, many centuries ago, the art of maintaining an artificial temper ature. They were fond of oysters, and transported them inland by the use of snow. Each oyster was packed in closely compressed snow which was surrounded by layer of straw, and that in turn by wrapping of woollen cloth.
 This method succeeded SO we'll that Apicius was able to send oysters from Brindisi to the Emperor Trajan in Armenia These oysters by the way were from Lake Lucrinus in Italy, which was famous throughout the ancient times for the excellence of it's oysters. They were the ssBlue Points" of antiquity; and the Emperor Augustus thought so high ly of the lake which produced them that he provided it with constant supply of water from the sea by cut ting an artificial channel at considera- ble expense.
 It would be interesting to compare the quality of these ancient oysters with those of our own day, as might possibly be done if Lake Lucrinus was still in existence. But the spot where Apicius gathered his oysters for the Emperor Trajan is now covered by : mountain about four hundred fee high, which was raised during al earthquake and volcanic eruption il the year 1538.
 The epicurean Emperor Heliogaba Jus, undoubtedly understood the art O snow-packing, as described by Apicius for it is related that he would neve eat sea fish except at great distanc' from the sea. He would then bring from the salt water, at an immens' expense, great quantities of tn choicest kinds of fish, and distribut them among the peasants of the in land country.

Georgia's Debt to Grady.

But Grady gave Georgia new inn pulses. He took up the ideas of keen people and advocated them so strongly and so strenuously and so seductively in the columns of the Constitution that he forced people to adopt them. The mere enumeration of the things he has accomplished in this way for the bene- fit of Georgia would consume more time, ,than either you or l could spare. Let me, however, cite a few examples. HeSurged the people of Georgia to cul- tivate watermelons on large scale. A trifle, you say. So much of trifle that to-day the melon product of Georgia represents nearly ten million of dollars. Some people were ruined by their watermelon schemes, and they blame Grady for the disaster, but a majority of those who followed his published advice rise up and call him blessed. He called attention to the success that had followed the efforts of man named Mitchell at Thomasville to grow the Leconte pear, and now that luscious fruit is found throughout the State.
 He wrote ravishiIg lines about the beauty of the soft-eyed Jersey cattle and glowing words about the Angora goat, exemplifying his remarks with facts concerning the venture of Richard Peters with both these animals. To- day the value of the graded Jersey cattle of Georgia is exceeded only by the herds of New York State. Through his instrumentality there was intro duced into Georgia the Japanese per- simmon, the beagle dog, the Guinea COW, which is SO we'll adapted to a profitable existence upon the pine bar rens, and his arguments led to the introduct ion in Atlanta of broom factories, match factories and soaI factories. Georgia marble and Georgia railroads found in him all enthusiastic ] eulogizer. And before l forget it tmust say word about his cotton-seeG achievement. The Georgia planters hrew away their cotton seed as refuse material. Grady, in series of hi! convincing articles, showed how { l valuable oil could be expressed from 1 the seed, and the material tn at remained 1 could be utilized as desirable fool for cattle. To-day one of the greates
 sources of Georgia's wealth is its cot

New Dish For Epicures,

The Hungarians living in the village of Troop, near Scranton, Pa., have substituted cat flesh for beef. For some time past the butchers in the vil- lage have been unable to sell the Huns meat of any kind. An investigation showed that the foreigners were just as capable as ever of patronizing the butchers if they so desired. They were working steadily at the mines and making fair wages, but the Huns had found cheaper way to get their meat. They have been trapping and stealing cats. Several parties watched the Huns disposing of cats. The cat was first skinned, the intestines were removed and the carcass was then stuffed with rice and roasted.

 On another occasion he confessed that his success ill life was to be at- tributed to ''the application of good sense to the circumstances of the mo- ment."
 Thus, although reticent man by nature, it is possible that he did not remain silent from choice alone, but because his designs were so subject to change.

WellingtOn's Plans.

Before the Battle of Waterloo no one was probably more uneasy than Lord Uxbridge, who, if Wellington should be killed, would be called upon to suc- ceed him in command, and who knew nothing whatever of the duke's plans.
 ssI am in very difficult position," he said to friend. elf any accident happens to the duke, shall find myself commanner-in-chief. would give any thing in the world to know the dukes projects, and yet dare not ask him what I ought to do."
 After some consultation on the sub- ject, they went together to Wellington and frankly told him the difficulty in hand.
 The duke listened without impatience and at the end of Lord Uxbridge's speech, he said, calmly: "Who will attack the first tomorrow, or Bona parte?"
 "Bonaparte," replied Lord Ux- bridge.
 "Wen," continued the duke, .'Bona- parte has not given me any idea of his projects, and, as my plans will depend upon his, how can you expect me to tell you what mine are?" Lord Uxbridge bowed, and made no reply. The duke rose, and continued, touching him in friendly way on the shoulder: .....
 "There is one thing certain, Ux- bridge; that is, that whatever happens, you and I will do our dnty." He then shook his hand warmly, and they separated, Lord Uxbridge no wiser than before, yet feeling that Wellington had trusted him exactly as far as his reticent nature would allow
 Yet the great duke did not depend in 8 great measure upon the application of common sense to the needs of the moment. When he was once asked how he succeeded in conquering Napo leon's marshals, one after another, he replied:
 "They planned their campaigns jus as you might make splendid set o1 harness. It looks very well, and an swers very well, until it gets broke and then you are done for. Now,

31OO.OOO.OOO in Jewels.

His req son for SO thinking is that (thanks to his precautions) not single crook worked his way into the richly clad and jewcled ranks of the fourteen hun dred dancers, who are estimated to have flashed gems valued at $1Oo, ,ooo,- 900 on the dazzled eyes of beholders. Not single gem was stolen. What an idea of gorgeous, glaring wealth is conjured up by mere reading of $10o,- 900, ,o0o worth of jewels! If the esti. mate is accurate, the guests would average $72, 1000 worth of gems apiece but, as matter of fact, the wearerE of really valuable jewels were mostly of the fairer sex.

Symnathy with Children,

One of the prettiest sights ill the world is flock of bright, eager chil- dren gathered about gentle, sympa- thetic woman, who has forgotten her cares and important duties to enter into the pastimes of youth, says writer in the Home Maker. What a divine gift is sympathy! Every day dawns upon some interesting and unfamiliar scene, and speculations crowd their little brains, and questions rush to their lips without order or reconciliation. What makes their goblets of water 'ssweat?"-why do people have to wear clothes ?-why can't babies talk?-what are worms good for? These are some of the queries that assail the first grown person they can get to listen. Ere quently they are hastily silenced by elders who have no time to give them; more often they are turned away be- cause the person addressed does not know how to answer them. Mothers, whom thousand frittering cares have made forgetful of school lore, are called upon to describe the habits of ants, and to explain the principle of lightning rods; they are called away from sewing and cake-making to look at some object which has excited lively curiosity in little mind, and in the hurry of the moment they rarely give the matter serious thought.
 Sometimes they are inclined to say, petulantly: "Don't bother me-go to your father-go to your teacher; 1 don't know anything about it."
 This is mistake. To the child his mother is all wise, and she should be cautious of shaking that sweet confl- dence. Of course, one has to discrim- mate between the importunate chatter and honest curiosity. But plea for an interested hearing of the child's ideas or feelings should not be disre- garded, whatever else remains unfin- | ished. One cannot estimate the effect of cold rebuff upon sensitive child. The world, moment before growing with beauty and alive with agreeable suggestions, grows suddenly dark and still, faith dies. and everything seems against him. A little sympathy cheers the present moment and is remembered with gratitude long after the scheme enthusiastically unfolded by the child has become absurd to his riper years.
