A strange FeastInr custom.

There was a strange custom in the Isle
Of Lewis, when the people used to gather
to the church of st. Mulvay at night,
each family bringing provisions. and
each family furnishing 3 peck Of malt
which was brewed into ale. One who was
chosen for the purpose waded into the
sea up to his middle and poured out a cup
OF ale, calling on a sea god called Shonv
to favor the people through the coming
year, Tho people, after seeing the cers.
mony performed, returned to the church,
and then went to the fields to spend this
rest of the night In revelry.-New York

A Goldfish Has Snort.

l was much interested one day in the
actions Of a goldfish in an aquarium.
The fish was resting quietly within a
few inches of the surface, when it sud.
denly elected u fish scale from its
mouth.
AS the scale was slowly sinking, the
ish suddenly darted downward, drew
the scale into its mouth and rose toward
the surface, where it remained motion
less for several moments. The whole
performance was repeated several times.
Whatever may have been the exact
motive which prompted these actions on
the part OF the fish, we may fairly con-
clude that the object was recreation.-

The more closely animals are OBJ
served, the nearer human beings do
they seem In disposition and intelli-
gence. Darwin found that animals he
observed possessed memory, reasoning
power, affection, desire for revenge,
speech, and a sense of humor.
I'm Skune, in the southern part OF
Sweden, u pair of storlSs lived for many
years on the roof of parsonage. One
spring pair of young storks appeared
in the place, who, after surveying the
old nest-probably their home-set
about building their habitation on the
opposite side of the roof
"When IL was finished and the eggs
had been laid the old female storS re-
turned, took look NJ the newcomers,
but allowed them TO remain in their
home in peace. Her attention was soon
occupied by number of young suitors,
who zealously wooed her, though she
rejected all their offers. Some
days later this Penelope among birds
was rewarded by the arrival of her old
mate. But then came an end To the
truce with the young birds, That very
evening the old storls, followed by his
female companion, flew TO the nest Of
the newcomers. by violent blows of
their bealSs they first put the young
male stork TO flight, and then began to
attack the sitting hen.
Patiently she suffered and remained
upon her eggs. The assailants then
altered their tactics. One continued to
attack the young mother bird, while
the other, watching till in her strug-
giles to evade the blows an egg became
uncovered, instantly pushed il out Of
the nest. Thus, one by one the four
eggs were sacrificed, and the young
female storlS, after standing for some
time in the courtyard looking up at
her ruined home as II in despair, sadly
fiew away. There was never any sign
Of that pair of storl<s ON the roof again
The old ones had attained their>end-
henceforth they were the only storlSs in
that part of the country, and We're left
