THE STREET ARAB
 When the city missionary passing along the park in New York saw ragged lad and heard him swearing, he said to him: My son, stop swearing! You ought to go to the house of God today. You ought to be good. You ought to be Chris tian." The lad looked in his face and said, "Ah, it is easy for you to talk, we'll clothed as you are and we'll fed, but we chaps hain't got no chance!' Who lifts them to the altar for baptism2 Who goes forth to snatch them up from crime and death and woe? Who today will go forth and bring them into schools and churches? No. Heap them up, great piles of rags and wretchedness and filth. Put underneath them the fires of sacri- flee, stir up the blaze, put on more flag ots, and while we sit in the churches with folded arms and indifferent crime and disease and death will go on with the agonizing sacrifice.
 During the early French revolution at Bourges there was a company of boys who used to train every day as young soldiers, and they carried flag, and they had on the flag this inscription: "Trem- ble, tyrants, tremble! We are growing up." Nightly suggestivel This gen eration is passing off, and mightier generation is coming on. Will they be the foes of tyranny, the foes of sin and the foes of death, or will they be the foes of Godr They are coming up!
 congratulate all parents who are do- ing their best to keep their children away from the altar of sacrifice. Your prayers are going to be answered. Your children may wander away from God, but they will come back again. Avoice comes from the throne today susouras-

INTELLIGENCE OF BIRDS.
They Made a Cat Drop Its Prey and
Retreat.


They Made Cat Drop Its Prey and
Retreat
Early one morning l was called to
the window by a great noise among
the bird people of the garden, and saw
the following scene:
a young blackbird was standing.
fascinated by a cat, who was crouched
under a bush, ready to spring on him.
An old black bird, on an lick close by.
was uttering loud and agitated cries,
and there was IL general cackle of
anger and sympathy from other birds
all around.
After few seconds the cat sprang
on the young bird, and held it down.
At that instant the old bird came
down on them. There was a moments
struggle, the bird beating her wings
violently in the cats face, and,
think, pecking at her eyes; then the
cat jumped back TO her bush, the
young bird made off with long hops
and the old one few up to the lex
amid jubilant chorus of commenda-
tion which lasted several minutes.
never saw this before although l
have seen robin come right close to q
cat stalking another bird, and scold
and flap his wings in her face.
The ways of birds are delightful,
and in a small garden you can have
many by keeping earthenware saucers
full of water for them to battle in.

THE CRAFTY NORM AN.
How a Farmer Turned the Tables ON the
Baker.


BY way of illustration of the pro-
verbal craftiness ot the Norman peas
antry, an amusing story is related,
which if not in strict accordance with
fact, has at least the merit of origin
ality.
A certain baker, in business in a
small town, obtained his supply of
butter from a farmer in the neighbor-
hood. one fine day he discovered that
the pats, which were supposed to
weigh three pounds each, were not up
TO the standard, and further examine
tion revealed a steady diminution in
the daily provision. At last the baker
| lodged a formal complaint against the
farmer, and the affair was brought be-
fore the local court Have you any
scales?' inquired the magistrate.
Yes, monsieur le juge," was the ready
reply "And nave you any weights?'
continued the judge. An answer this
time in the negative was as promptly
given. But how do you manage to
weigh your butter?" asked the magis-
trate
Then the farmer related that ever
since the baker had taken his butter
he had returned the compliment by
buying his bread. The baker sup
piled him with three-pound loaves,
and he used them as weights for his
butter ut is his fault, not mine if
the weight is not correct, added the
farmer, who was speedily acquitted
and left the court in triumph with an
escort of friends and admirers Since
this trial the farmer is said to have
been supplied with more than his dne
provision of bread, but be has taken
good care not to fall into the opposite
error, and the baker has now his
three-pound pats of butter full
weight, but not AN ounce more.
