One morning lately friend took me to
zee German gentleman who has travelled
several times across Africa, just in the same
way as Mr. Stanley went on his exploring
tours, except that be had only very few
men with him. His name is DIR. Peters, and
you bigger ones who are fond of reading
books about African travel may have seen
bis name.
At first we talked for a long time of
things which don't think would interest
you, but then DR.. Peters went on to tell us
of how he used to watch Emin Pasha pre-
pare African birds for museums. Emin
did 1t as an amusement In his leisure time,
and hs did it wonderfully neatly and care
fully. Sometimes the corpses Of the little
dead birds, with their gay plumage, would
be hung all about his tent, and then he
would write down all he had found out
about them. believe the other day, at q
meeting of a German pathological society
fths big word means concerning the natu-
raj history of birdsl it was stated that DR.
En1in had just sent 800 birds, represent
Eng 1876 different species, to Germany. He
had caught and prepared them all in three
months time, while on tour from the
African coast to Tsbora, which place you
should look up on your map, Wouldn't
81 be delightful to roam about on such an
expedition for few mouths'

A Pig Tale.

This story was recently told in Golden
Days. Among a certain litter Of New Jer-
ssy pigs there was one black runt to which
the owners children took a great fancy
and taught a number of tricks One was
20 hide an apple and send the pig in search
.,ld 1t. At this the animal became very ex-
pert, until it seemed that an apple could
not be hidden anywhere that the pig could
not find it. But the hired man thought
otherwise; so one day he tied a weight to
an apple and threw it into the duck pond,
where the water was about two feet deep.
The pig went nosing around until he
reached the pond, hesitated moment, then
jumped in, Owed to the bottom and re
appeared with the apple in his mouth
The very next day, while the children were
in great giee over this performance, the
pig disappeared, presumably stolen by
some Jealous neighbor.
Two years later, while the farmer was in
town on business, he purchased a black
hog that pleased him and brought it home.
The hog was driven into the yard, where he
stopped, looked critically around the prem
gses and then, with grunt Of satisfaction,
Srottsd to one corner of the yard, where he
rooted for a few seconds Then he trotted
20 the duck pond and Owed beneath the
water. When he reappeared and swan
ashore he looked disappointed; bat the
farmer and his family were delighted, be
csuss they had recovered their pet.

Size and Longevity.

Although there is some relation between
size and longevity-the duration of the
period of growth and length of life being,
speaking generally, longest in the largest
animals-there is no fixed relation between
the two. The largest organisms live the
longest, some trees reaching an age of 6, 600
years, and some animals, as whales, several
centuries. And after maturity is reached
larger animals require longer time than
smaller animals to secure the preservation
of the species. The explanation of this, as
pointed out by both Ieuckart and Herbert
Spencer, is that 'the absorbing surface of
an animal only increases as the square o.
its length, while its size increases as the
cube; and it therefore follows that the
longer an animal becomes the greater will
be the difficulty experienced in assimilat-
ing any nourishment over and above that
which it requires for its own needs, and
therefore the more slowly will it reproduce
itself" We, however, find corresponding
duration of life among animals of very diff
ferent size, says Longman's Magazine.
For example, the toad and the cat live as
long as the horse, the craytish as long as
the pig. and the pike and carp as long as
the elephant. In an interesting appendix
from which these facts are quoted, DR..
Weissmann cites the case of sea anemone
which lived not less than sixty-six years.
1t was placed by Sir John Dalzell in small
glass jar in the Edinburgh Botanical gar
dens in 1928, being then, as companions
with other individuals reared from the egg
period, fully seven years old. 1t died a
natural death in 1857.

LuIIabfes That Mothers Sing to LufI Their

LuIIabfes That Mothers Sing to Luff Their
Little Ones to Rest in Many Lands.
Every country has its mothers aud babies
and therefore every country has its cradle
songs, and from the unrhythmical lines with
which the Chinese parent strives to WOO
the spirit of rest to her little yellow faced
treasure to the poetical verse of the Italian
mother rocking her bambino there is
thread of connection that winds its tender
way from ocean to ocean and from CONT
nent to continent. What eau be prettier
than the simple Scotch ditty:
Ba-loO, ba-loo, my wee thing.
Oh, softly close thy biinktn' e'e,
Thy daddy now is far ava,
sailor laddie DER the sea.
The following is of Gaelic extraction:
Heigh-o, heugh-o, what'n do wi yer
Blacks the life that lead WI ye.
Many o. ye, little TO gle ye,
Heigh-O, heugh-o, what1l do wi yer
Our old familiar,
Bye Baby Bunting,
Thy fathers gone a-hunting;
Gone to get rabbit skin
To wrap his Baby Bunting in;
and the Hibernian,
Hush, baby dear weep not awhile,
And DER theeshall bright treasures smile,
AS did thy royal sires once own
In the green land of Conn and Owen,
will bear comparison with the grooming
verses of most countries. One or two are
particularly melodious Among these we
must quote this bright lyric which you will
hear in every hamlet and every village of
song loving Brittany;
Go to sleep, you little darling,
Go TO sleep, dear little Pierrot;
III sing sweet and low,
And rock TO and fro,
The crib of Pierrot,
Whom we all love.
Then there is the pretty Italian,
Sleep, my baby, sleep, my darling,
While hush thee with my song;
Sleep until the new sun rises,
Sleep in peace the whole night long.
Reference has been made to the rhythm
Of the Chinese lulling verse; here is speci-
men:
Snail, snail, come out and be fed,
Put out your horns and then your head,
And thy mamma will give thee mutton,
For thou art doubay dear 10 me.
OF all the soft motherly ideas ever ipcor-
porated in song there are none more so
than those Of the Hottentot who bends
over her baby singing:
Why dost thou weep, my child2
Wherefore dost thou weep?
Hush, darling, calm thee,
And sleep, my child, and sleep.

In the Vosges mountains the young wo-
men who dress the bride strive as to who
shall stick the first pin in the bridal robe,
as the successful one will be married the
same year. 1t was lucky for English
bridesmaids to throw pins away. The
bride must not look into the mirror after
she is dressed for the ceremony, unless she
puts on some article of apparel afterward.
In Russia the bride must avoid eating
the wedding cake on the eve Of the cere-
mony, or she will lose her husbands love.
The sneezing Of cat on the eve Of mar
rage was considered a good omen in tbs
Middle Ages. but the bowling OF a dog then
as now, was especially ominous.

THE LAW MUST HAVE IT'S COURSE.

@Holdl holdp' cried the two cats; "give
each Of us his share of the rest, and we
will be content"
'If you are content" says the monkey,
Justice is not. The law, my friends, must
have its course"
So he nibbled first one piece, and then
Che other. The poor cats, seeing their
cheese in fair way to be all eaten, most
hBmbly begged the judge to give himself
no further trouble.
mot so fast, beseech you, my friends"
gays the judge; Eve owe justice to our
selves as well as to you. What is left is
dine to me in right Of my Office"
So saying, he crammed the whole into his
mouth. and very gravely dismissed the
court.

Two hungry cats, having stolen some
cheese, could not agree how TO divide it.
80 they called in monkey to decide the
case.
Let me see." says the monkey, with an
arch look, this slice weighs more than

piece, in order, as he said, to make them
balance.
The other scale was now too heavy. This
gave the upright judge a fine pretense to
