The Contributor is by slow stages working his way through Mrs Humphry Wards much discussed novel, "David Grieve." The thing that strikes The Contributor so far is the ease with which well-brought-up young women fall des- perately in love with the hero, without his paying them the slightest attention. In all novels of the old school, if sus- ceptible girl did feel little "touched" on meeting some man who to her was indifferent, she did not acknowledge even to herself that it was the case. If she suspected herself, it was with shame. Mrs Humphry Wards girls are of quite a different stuff. They fall in love without provocation, and, while of course suffering the modification of un- requited affection, they do not seem to be at all ashamed of having such poorly regulated hearts. Mrs Humphry Ward is a woman and ought to know. If she is right, then the popular view of man winning girls affections is entirely off. Man gets them ''free gratis, without an effort American.

is becoming known to all the1 Atlantic coast birds of passage.
 One of the most interesting things in connection with these night flying birds is the apparently perfect system of sig mailing that they maintain, when some air. They seem to have arranged code of signals by whistling. The note is, of course, peculiar to the bird, and is used among other notes when singing, but for the purpose of signalling this note only is used. The bobolink, for instance, who has wide range of song, when on the passage has but one cry, and he advises the main body of any threatened danger by whistling "spink, spink.'
 The birds that lead the main body are veterans who have made the march north and south for half a dozen years. The signal of wild goose is 8 loud s'honk." The kingfisher, which chatters in it's Sum- mer creek and scolds so that you might almost imagine it was a human being,
 
 ant note, which keeps it's forces together. The thrush and the robin each give a single shrill whistle which can be heard across a storm at night for distance of nearly a mile. These birds are all great travellers. Some of them travel every Spring and Fall from the shores of Hud- son Bay, from Labrador and even Greenland, to the tropic of Capricorn, a distance of 5000 miles.
 The massing of these forces in the early Fall is very curious and highly in- terestng. Not single bird starts southward until the cutting northern winds begin to pipe. Then all the fami- lies or broods for miles around begin to collect, until hundreds and sometimes thousands get together and form into a body on the edge of a wood. Here the younger birds wheel and scream and frolic, chasing each other through the air; but the elders appear sedate and seem to be waiting to collect together every bird that should join in the march.
 Ii has long been matter of conjecture as to how these birds can make their way at night, but it has been held latterly by the best ornthologists that they are guided by the stars. This is proved by the fact that on clear nights they fly often to height of three miles and, at that distance, it would be utterly impo5- sible for them to be guided by the topog- raphy of the route. Moreover, when bewildered and have at once to seek the ground.-T New fork Recorder.

Mir Cleveland is fortunate enough to have a circle of political friends who were near him, chiefly as high office holders, iu the last half of his admins tration, in whose hands his candidacy is well managed without any undignified appearance of seeking on his part. MT Hill is compelled to organize and push his own canvass and the effect is rather dstasteful, even to men who were inclin- ed toward him, two months ago. Of the two men, Mir Cleveland is more likely to be successful. But his nomination could now hardly be possible, under any cir cumstances, without such an alliance with trading Tammany as would shock the sensibilities of many of his best friends. The situation still looks favor able for an outside candidate.- Review of Reviews.

Light itself, travelling nearly 200, 1000 miles every second, does not reach us from the suns in Hercules in many hun dreds of years. In traversing the literal ly boundless and measureless spaces of the stellar universe, and dealing with dis tances which no human mind can grasp, the biggest telescopes on our obscure lit tie planet can do but little to widen the bounds of actual knowledge. The Lick refractor las confirmed the discovery, made in the great Rosse reflector, of the mysterious "lanes," or dark spaces, so automatically arranged through the far off universe called the constellation of Hercules, and has apparently increased their number and added to their details beyond that, our world cannot know, for the present at least, the facts of that sub- lime phenomenon.

Why I Never Tasted Liquor.

Edward ". Box, editor of the Ladies Home Journal, in an article to the Young Crusader, few months back, made some statements that ought to have wider wings. As an exceptionally successful business man and brilliant writer, the following testimony must find it's way to reason with all the energy of acquired momentum:
 First of all, I never did so because I seemed to possess an inborn hatred of all intoxicants. Although brought up with wine on the table, I could never be in- duced to taste of it, when, as q child, some light wine would be placed in my mouth to sip. To some good mothers, this may seem an unwise thing for my parents to have done, but it must be re-

 He caught sight of the express book and stopped short.

 could not speak, but he read the an- swer in my downcast face. He extended his hand to me, while look of sublime exaltation transfgured his homely coun- tenance.
 AS the agent, he said, and his voice had the terrible calmness of despair, I am responsible for your crimes-I am forever undone, but 1 bear you no malice, it was fate, whatever happens; remem- Der, l forgive you, but, and he jammed his hat down over his ears and his eyes gIared wildly, they will never take me alive.
 Then he strode out of the office and disappeared.
 The sun sank below the western hori- zon and twilight and mosquitoes invad- ed the melancholy landscape.
 Presently, a freight train came along and halted for water. It so happened that an empty box car stopped right op- posite the office and, as 1 gazed into the hospitably open door, great homesick- ness and yearning stole over me. For a moment I hesitated but scream of nor tai anguish reached my ears from the di- rection of the saloon and decided me.
 Softly closing the office door, I crept into the untenanted car, and, when the engineer had taken up the slack and pull ed out of Beaufort, my career as an as- sistant agent was at an end.- San Fran cisco Examiner.

The Passing of the Birds.

Not long ago, a party of scientists
 went down after sunset to Bedloe's is-
 land to witness the passage of the birds.
 The night selected was one immediate ly following the cold snap and the scien- lists, well wrapped in their Winter coats, made their way to the upper gallery of the Statue of Liberty and took their places under the flaming torch of the goddess. They waited two or three hours, but not a bird came in sight. Presently, however, masses resembling dark clouds appeared to windward and the party soon recognized that the ad- vance guard and main body of a great army of birds were approaching. There were many stragglels and some of these flew against the granite base of the statue; others fairly pelted the goddess, while others peered around the light and brushed the faces of the observers with their wings. The main body of the birds kept high up in the heavens and flew right along. The scientists secured about score of birds in their nets and kept them until daylight, when, after determining their species, they let them go. The stream of birds kept up until dawn, when they all sheered away from the light.
 A curious and interesting fact is that in 1886, soon after the statue was first lighted, over 1000 birds were picked up about the base of the tower on morn ing following a dark night. Each year following, this number has gradually decreased, until 1t Is unusual for more than from 200 to 300 to be found after stormy dark night. This would seem to show that the danger of being allured by the brilliancy of the goddess's torch

You must not judge by this that I un- dervalue the capabilities of my sex. I do not, for I am assured that many wom- en can successfully compete with men in business, arts and the professions. Many years ago, 1 wrote an article for a literary society on "Woman's Infiu- ence." I will quote few lines from it. I have taken from history instances of her influence, in different countries, at different periods, but only give the one where I mention Queen Elizabeth of England:
 Womans inftuence Oh, mighty power, Felt since the time when, in Eden's bower, She picked the apple and, with artless grace, Gave unto Adam, her lord, to taste. Her influence is seen in every age; It is plainly graven on historic page; Her magic art for good or ill, Moves monarch, peasant, at her will. She knows so well her part to play, Those in her power feel not her sway. We speak with greatest pleasure of Elisa
 beth's brilliant reign And find, in several histories, the record all
 the same; You can scarcely note an instance where in
 so short 8 time, Arts, commerce, legislation, philosophy and
 rhyme Progress and bear so strong a light They to
 our day do shine. The established Church of England it's pres
 ent form now takes Forever, from her English soil, the chains Of
 popery shakes. The kingdom which, in ages past in second
 rank had shone, Breaks forth the first in Europes states, with
 woman on the throne. But woman's holiest influence is within the
 shrine of home And, from those golden altars, her brightest
 rays have shone; Rays of seraphic beauty, lit by the word o
 Truth, Have been shield of untold strength to the
 impassoned heart of Youth.

in this fact,I had the curiosity to person. ally enquire into it and, of 2S of the lead ing business men in the country whose names I selected at random, P never touch drop of wine of any sort. made up my mind that there was some reason for this. If liquor brought safe pleasures, why did these men abstain from it? If, as some say, it is stimu- lant to busy man, why did not these men, directing the largest business in- terests in this country. resort to it? And when I saw that these were the men whose opinions in great business matters were accepted by the leading concerns of the world, I concluded that, if their judgment in business matters could command the respect and attention of the leaders of trade on both sides of the sea, their decision as to the use of liquor was not apt to be wrong.
 And as opportunities come to me to go round in homes and at public places, I find that do not occupy solitary posi- tion. The tendency to abstain from liq- uors is growing more and more among young men of to-day. The brightest young men I know, young men who are filling positions of power and promise, never touch drop of beer, wines or in toxicants of any sort. And the young man who to-day makes up his mind that he will be on the safe side and adhere to strict abstinence will find that he is not alone. He has now the very best ele- ement in business and social life in larg- est cities of our land with him.
 He will not be ehided for his principle, but through it will command respect.
 It will not retard him in commercial success, but prove his surest help.
