NATURAL HISTORY LECTURE.

Prof. ]. M. Tyler of Amherst Col
lege lectured before the Natural His
tory Society last Tuesday evening
upon the subject, Birds and their
mgrations.' Theprolessorcharme
his audience by his address, which
was replete with scientific iniorma-
ton told in a manner that could be
understood by all present. The first
part Of the evening was devoted to
the anatomical structure Of the bird
and the last part dealt with their
wonderful migrations. Prof. Tyler
showed on a map Of Europe the
routes the birds took in their fall
and spring migrations and explained
why these routes were chosen. BY
analogy it was believed that the
birds had their regular routes in the
United States and the speaker sug-
gested that there was an excellent
chance for a careful observer to add
his mite to the Investigations which
were being made along this line.
Prof. Tyler received a round of APP
plause at the close and left his hear
ers hungry for more information up
on this fascinating theme

AT THE Y. VI. c. A.

Prof. E. b. Warman OF Chicago
gave very helpful talk at the Y. M.
{. A. meeting last Sunday afternoon,
en- "The body as the temple OF the
soul" He brought out in a very en-
pertaining and instructive way the
importance OF taking care of the
body, and the great influence which
a sound body has over the mind. He
rather held to the idea that a mans
liver and stomach needed about as
much care as his heart. He referred
to certain daily exercises which he
called the elixir of lile," and which
he had recommended successfully in
many cases. The address bristled
with excellent points and kept his
audience-about 100 men-in the
best of humor. He is an attractive
speaker.

ST. ANDREWS TWO NEEDS.

After the Easter sermon at St.
Andrews church the rector, review
ing the parish history since its be-
ginning 10 years ago, said there
were two pressing needs-an en-
dowment ofnot less than $4,000,
the income of which could be used
for parish expenses; and parish
house to be used for general pur-
poses. He thought it would be inn
possible to bring together success
fully the young people of the church
without such an edifice. The parish
already has $500 as an endowment
fund, and it was urged that steps be
taken as soon as possible to further
the interest in a building to be used
for the social advancement of the
church life.
