In stulfing, an operation that must OF
necessity be slow, chopped flax, tow or
cotton is used. Great care must be taken
not to stretch the skin or distort the part
while stufing or sewing up. With pair Of
forceps, chopped cotton is inserted into the
orbits in order to prepare them tor the re-
ception of the eyes, which nre affixed TO
the head by means Of calcareols cement.
Should the nictltating membrane pro-
trude, it should be pressed back with the
point of the lancet. When the pose OF
the bird has been decided upon and ar
ranged, cotton thread is carefully wound
round and round the plumage. This IS
to hold the feathers in position until the

TIE CHURCH MILITANT

What is the great mission of the church
Is it not to disciple the whole world 10
Christ? The salvation Of souls is the COM
mission that is given to the members OF it.
What are we doing Individually in this diiec-
ton is very practical question. Perhaps in
our meetings effort in this direction should
be put forth. This is work that can he done
only by individuals and rests upon each one,
and it cannot be done by the church as an
organization How many have you been
instrumental in leading to Christ? .- -
The faithfulness of Sunday-school teachers
is gratefully noticed. We hear of some who
are doing in quiet ways for their scholars as
they are aboring to bring them into the
fold Of Christ. After all it is such personal
labor that is wanted. Glass work must be
too general and cannot touch the heart as
individual work on the part Of the teacher.
What are you doing for your scholars iDdi-
vidually! .s..
Let us make especially as the end of our
work the salvation of souls. Let every Sum
day-school teacher do this. Personal work
is what is needed and every member of the
church ought to be earnest in this direction.
Are you praying for the conversion OF souls
every day and are you doing anything to
answer your own prayers through the grace
of God? Are any Of US failing in this regard?
II so We are guilty of sin.
Let us all try to subordinate our social life
to the spirit Of the golden rue and look
down on no one rs beneath us. We are
members one of another and are called to
give ourselves to the need and call OF all, so
far rs we are governed by the spirit of our
Lord who called or esteemed no one or thing

A PLACE roR EVERY ONE.

What our churches most need next TO the
baptism of the Holy Ghost is the develop
ment of all the members. So much is thrown
upon the ministry that some OF us can hardly
catch spare hour for our own family and
fireside. A city pastor is often expected TO
prepare three sermons or lectures, TO visit
the flock, to see the sick, to tury the dead,
and to act OH a dozen committees and to
make two or three speeches, all IN single

passed outside of the 'tall paneled and
glass partition inclesing the Offices,
crossed the narrow passage running be-
tween it and the wall, and thence,
through another door, into the broad,
stately hall dividing the main building
from front to rear. He was about to turn
in the direction of the staircase, to his
left, when an open doeI leading into a
narrower connecting passage st the rear,
together with the heavy perfume Of exotics
and other flowers, arrested his intention.
This passage was the one leading
through the conservatory to the dining
room anu other rear apartments. Tht
old man timidly stepped into it, looking
around upon the plants, and drawing in
their perfume, as though it were to him
the very breath of life.
AS he did so a woman suddenly stood

maintained that study Of animal anat-
omy was very important for success in
taxidcrmy. He did not even believe in
the use of wire, so frequently used to
make a skeleton for a birds skin, as
serting that it gave stiffness and de-
tracted from the specimens natural SYM
mctry. His plan was to skin the bird
almost completely, leaving only the part
of the skull bone extending from the
fore part of the eyes to the bill, parts of
the wing bones, the jaw-bones and half
of the thigh bones. With a slender
stick like knitting-ncedle he worked
the skin full of cotton, observing every
swelling and cavity and carrying out all
the proportions too often lost sight OF.
When a bird is examined it will be
found that the body is not completely
covered with feathers.
There are places depressed about the
shoulders, wings and thighs that are
quite bare. Ordinarily these are stuffed
round, and the true symmetry and pro-
portion are effyc,ed. These little things
Waterton lcoked after, and in his IN
structions urge critical observance. He
says the wounds on the bird, II it has
been shot, must be stopped with cotton
or tow, and any blood on the feathers
must be dellcately removed with a wet
sponge. Beginning at the breast bone,
the skin is separated by working blunt
instrument under it, using care not to
stretch it. The ing-bones are cut at the
shoulder joints, and after the back OF the
head is exposed the neck vertebrI IS
separated. The brains are then removed
and the eyes taken out by breaking the
little bones between the orbits and rooi
of the mouth. The flesh from the under
mandible is removed, looking out not tc
injure the ear openings or eyelids. Then
rub the skin with arsenlcal soap or a
solution of corrosive sublimate. Wash
the skull with the same, adjust the wings
and legs with wire. A great fault in
stuffing birds is tho apparent lengthening
of the leg. The three bones which com
pose the leg of bird are articulated sc
as to form the letter q, and though, in

been abandoned. Moss and all such ma
terial is the resort Of insects, and when
near animal matter is favorite place for
moths and the like to lay their eggs. A
stand composed of two pieces of polished
mahogany, or rosewood, in the shape of
the letter T, affixed to an elliptical-
shaped base of the same material, has
been adopted by the incipal museums
of natural history.
The most difficult animals to stuff are
those having short hair. In these, the
anatomy is externally prominent, and th,
slightest defect in the mounting become,
apparent. In ordinary work, the bonel
of the animal are reproduced in wood and
jointed together with wire hinges.
One of the taxidermists resident in this
city claims many notices stuff their sub j
jects after the ide:l form rather than the
real. He mentio:.s buffalo to illustrard
it. The ideal buffalo has very heavy
torelegs, short neck, depressed head and
light fanks. The attitude of the ideal
buffalo is always rampant. The real
buffalo is disappointing in comparison:
If line were drawn midway between the
end of the nose and the termination of
the TANKS: only three fifth of the animal
would be found forward and two-ffths
back of it. But, in the ideal buffalo,
three-fourths of the body is forward Of
this point and only one-fourth behind it.
Again, the pelage is by no means so thick
nor so shaggy rs is usually represented.
Nor is the real buffalo of threatening
mien; his expression is rather one of
timidity.
The most important part of the work
of the taxidermist is the preservation of
skins of birds and mammals. Many of
the specimens mounted by taxidermists
ten years ago, some of even more recent
date, which may be seen in the various
museums, show signs of decay and of
decomposition, while instances are not
rare where the work of their predeces-
sors is yet sound and free from blemish.
In order to protect the skin of bird or
mammal effectually against the assault of
insects: it must be thoroughly penetrated
by that which will so change its interna
chemistry as make it proof against yield

HOLDING FAST.

A Christian holding fast against the world,
its spirit, and way, is like man pul ing

and the current strong. Whether in the
boat or III the bank, pulling by q rope, he
needs pull always-a strong, ste1dy, con.
slant pIll-that is it! He meets o great.

do not need to pull much-a touch OF the

sing, and heart to laugh, and pity. If not de-
rision, to give to the poor fools whom they
meet, and who are bending to the oar, or
tugging at the rope to get the Doat up
stream. Sometimes Christian is discour-
aged by observing that so many more seem
to be going with the stream than seem to be
going against 1t. He may be in a great
measure mistaken In this.
Did you never observe that in waking
along any ordinary road, or sailing up or
down river, you meet ten persons IoT
every one who passes you? and ifyour speed
is considerable you may meet hundred
while not one shall pass you, or even come
up to your side. And so, faithful. onward
