Sea birds are always interesting OBJ
jects to voyagers. They follow vessel
sometimes all the way across, ever rest
less and untiring. The gulls particular
". with their long, swift wings, realize
the highest powers of endurance and fly
with ease against the severest storms.
Some say that these birds never visit the
earth except to deposit their eggs; other
wise they live constantly between the sea
and the sky. In fine weather they fly
high in the air, descending with great
rapidly to seize the fishes on the surface
of the water.
The symmetry and strength Of the
gulls are remarkable. showing how ma
ture has adapted them in every particu-
lar for the purpose of long flight. Their
pectoral or breast muscles are one solid
mass OF firm, hard muscle, and their
bones are hollow, having no marrow in
them. Sleep is not necessary to them,
or, rather, they rest upon their wings
and allow themselves to be Graded by
the breezes. whose violence neither wor-
ries nor frightens them. On the other
hand. they seem To feel herce delight
in the fury Of the storm, which, con-
vulsing the waves, brings up the dead
fishes and mollusks.
Sailors are very fond of playing off a
joke upon the gulls which are always
lowering about the ships. They take
three or four pieces of sail Irvine about
six feet in length, these are tied together
in the middle, and To the end Of each a
small piece of blubier or fat is attached
tightly and then thrown into the sea. A
gull comes along and swallows one
piece: another then sees there is plenty
to spare and swallows the next; perhaps
third bird takes possession Of another,
but as they are all attached tn the sail
warns, whenever they try to fly away
one or the other is compelled to disgorge
his share, and this is continued to the
tantalizing suspense If the poor gulls

An interesting anecdote of Daniel Web
ster is given by Hon. Charles X. Tucker
man in his article on "Bygone Days in
Boston in The North American Review.
Webster was delivering an address in
Faneuil hall on the necessity for indi-
vidual exertion and unflinching patriot
ism to avert the dangers that threatened
the political party whose principles he
espoused. when he perceived a terrible
sway of the packed assembly consequent
Oh the rush of those endeavoring to enter
and noted the danger that might ensue.
The orator stopped short in the middle
Of sentence, advanced to the edge q
the platform, extended his arms in aH
authoritative attitude, and, in stento-
rian voice of command, cried out: LET
each man stand firm" The effect was
instantaneous. Each man stood firm;
the great heaving mass of humanity re-
gained its equilibrium and, save the long
breath Of relief that filed the air, perfect
stiffness ensued. That" exclaimed the
great orator, "is what we call self gov
ernment!-so apt an illustration Of the
principle he was expounding that the
vast audience responded with deafening
cheers
