Tn. Fuocs,ar of Birds.

When did biris begin to flock' This has often been asked, but never can be told. A close study of this habit, us of many other bird ways, points to the conclusion that it is a survival of a much moro fixed one. There is nova vast deal of irregular. ity about it. Certainly the rcd winged blackbirtis, which form our largest focks, are not all gathered in, and single ones, pairs and half a dozen together remain all winter scattered up and down the river val ley. It is, true of every other flock ing bird. The majority keep up the old custom. but so many stand aloof In every instance that it might al- most be said the custom is dying out. Let 1t be borne in mind that 1 am writing of single locality, the At lantic seaboard of the middle states, and of this region I am disposed to make the statement that man has so modified the land that bird life is rapidly losing it's one time character istic features.-Dr. c. c. Abbott in Montreal Star.

Two Cures for Corn..

"An absolute and permanent euro for corns, says a woman who knows, lis the rest cure. If you can go into fortnight's seclusion, giving out that your ankle is sprained, and keep the corn foot in a stocking and wool bedside slipper. without pressure, and using only when walking about the room, the corns will disappear and not return. All inflammation subsidies first and the corn becomes loose and easily detached, and that is the end of it.
 The same authority gives as a sov- ereign cure for soft corns the con- stant wearing of a bit of old linen saturated every morning with sweet oil From the beginning the pain of the infiiction ceases. and after time the corn itself loosens and falls out. Both these remedies are from good authority and will bear tIial-the first one, perhaps, being rather diff cult of accomplishment, since many of the acids and corn salves sold frri- tate and produce soreness, and the knife of the chiropodist is apt to af- ford merely temporary relief.

Corn. Are Round ,o Be.

No sort of shoe has yet been in- vented which will prevent corns. No matter how well fitting the shoe may be it will always pinch or rub some where, and when it does a corn is the inevitable result. Even If people were to throw away their shoes and go barefoot they would have as many corns as ever, the only difference be- ing that the corns would be shifted from the top and sides to the bottom of the foot and become worse, for stone bruises and blisters on the sole are only modified corns. There have been corns ever since there were feet to grow them on, and as long as feet hold out corns will always be an abundant crop.-Interview in St Louis Globe Democrat.

Good Takers.

Considering what a beautiful in- strument is speech. and how closely it may express every thought and fear and hope, it is astonishing how awkwardly and carelessly it is em- ployed. A good talker-not a pro fuse conversationist nor an orator, but one who expresses himself in clear and simple words-imparts so much pleasure that it is much to be regretted that the species is so rare. -Blackwood's Magazine.

Father xxvier's Grand snd Noble Deeds
 During the spanish Floods.

Father xHrier's Grzna and Noble Deeds
 Daring the spanish Floods
 In contrast to tho numerous in stances of cowardioe and panic among layrnen during the terrible floods which devastated portions of the far province of Toledo. the conduct of
 many of the priesthood was con spicuous for bravery and devotion to duty. and the name that such scenes bring about above all others in this noble work Is that of n humble Franciscan monk of Consuegra, Father Xavier. There is no exagger- ation in saying this single brave man saved scores of lives by his individ- ual efforts on the night of the calam- ity. No risk was too great for him to dare in the the hope of saving tho life of some unfortunate wretch borne toward destruction by the re- sistless deluge.
 The monk related a thrilling story of one particular case which had i'm pressed itself upon his memory more strongly than any other. He had al- ready helped a number of poor, help less creatures to places of safety, and was clinging in an almost exhausted condition to some floating beams, when he thought be heard above the noise of the rushing flood the voice of a woman invoking the aid of the Virgin. At last he reached n balcony where woman was clinging to the iron railing. bearing on her shoulders a girl of twelve, who was already half unconscious ard half drowned The mother. clasping her child, had been swept by the flood against the balcony, and had chung there in the face of the rising waters, which must have soon overwhelmed them. The first impulse of the priest was to seize both and endeavor to bear them to a place of safety. but the mother cried:
 Take my daughter first"
 Finding urging useless, the monk LOOK the child upon ms shoulders. promising the mother that after bear ing her to some secure resting place he would return.
 Often they were entangled in the branches of trees or were struck by floating wreckage, but after many hairbreadth escapes the current cast them upon the shore. Another per ilous voyage through the flood brought him back to the balcony whence he had rescued the little one, but the heroic moihes was a corpse. Her arms, rigid in death, stiil clung to the railing. Hoping that it might be possible to rcsuscitate her, the priest took the body on his back and once more breasted the flood. The spot where he had left the child was reached after many difficulties, but the girl, probably too dazed to heed his injunction, had vanished. Turn ing his attention to the mother, he found that she was beyond hope; the body was quite cold. Cor. London Spectator.
