EMBER GOOSE AND ELDER DUCK.

The ember goose, or loon, is q native
of many countries, for ii is winter visi-
tor of the British coasts, is found In
most parts Of Europe, the North of Asia
and in North America. 1t makes its
home not only near the sea, but often on
the shores of rivers and freshwater lakes.
The bird is large, measuring nearly three
feet in length, with plumags of buauti.
full coloring
The back is black, spotted with white !;
the head black, with tints of green and
blue, and the under parts of the body
are snowy white. The legs are slight,
set far back on the body, and the toes
are completely webbed, for the. bird is a
waterfowl, loving to dive beneath the
water, where it uses its wings, rs we'll as
feet, when moving about seeking the fish
which form part of its food. 1t can also
fly well, but when walking on the land
is very awkward in its movements, hen oe
the name loon which is so often given to
the bird and it is also as well known
by the name of the great northern diver.
There are belonging to the same family
the black -throated and red -throated
divers.
The loon has peculiar cry, resembling
the howl Of a wolf.
Another water fowl is the elder duck,
whose fame is worldwide, for who has
not heard of the eider down which is
part of its plumsgeY These birds are
birds of the sea, loving the cold regions
of the arctic coasts, but not found in
warm or temperate climates.
Their size is between that OF a common
duck and goose. Their nests are made
of fine seaweed and mosses, interlaced
with twigs and matted together.
In these nests the eggs are laid, and
the bird carefully packs them about with
the down which with her bill she plucks
from her breast. Thus they retain their
warmth if she, by any chance, is called
to leave them. The down for which
these birds are famed is taken from their
breasts. 1t is soft, light and Of gray
color, and is gathered at the proper time
each season from their nests.
The eggs Of the elder duck are of a
fine flavor, and its flesh is exceedingly
palatable, while that Of the ember goose,
or loon, is tough and unsavory.
The loon is easily tanned, and the
elder duck shows no alarm when ap-
preached by man.--IDetroit Free Press.

FINN. THg GIANT.

In the days. OF old there dwelt near
Lund, in Sweden, a grim giant, named
Finn, who had his dwelling under
ground. At that time st. Lawrence had
come to Lund from Saxony, and was
preaching the word of God throughout
the neighborhood. Every hill on which
1.-The sun of heaven shone was his pulpit,
for he had no church.
Finn taunted St. Lawrence with his
iaok of church.
Surely your white Christ Is worthy
of a holy temple" said he. 81 will
ouild Him one on condition that when
il is done you will either tell me my
name, or get me for playthings for my
little daughter the two bright torches
that roam in the plains of the sky"
Thou heathen fool!" replied st. Law
renee. "The sun and the moon have
been placed above to light the path of
both the wise and the foolish, and there
they must remain
"Well answered. rejoined the giant.

stead the sparkling balls OF your eyes. ="
'If the holy church be but built. {"
said St. Lawrence, "you shall have them.
Gladly will sacrifice my eyes in such a
cause. Gods truth can be preached as
well by tho blind as by those who
have tic blessing OF sight"
SO the giant went TO work. He car
ricd a mountain to the spot, crushed il
to make building materials, and bid the
walls rise. All the time he exulied over
