The PareI and the Frigate-Bird

Though the petrol is swift the
frigate-bird is far swifter. Seamen
generally believe that the frigate- bird
can start at daybreak with the trade
winds from the coast of Africa and
roost the same night upon the Amer
lean shore. Whether this is a fact has
not yet been conclusivelv determined;
but it is certain that this bird is the
swiftest of winged creatures. and is
ably to fly, under favorable conditions,
two hundred miles an hour.
The stormy petrol, in proportion to
its size, has immense wing-power, for
it is the smallest web-footed bird. 1t
belongs to every sea, and, though
seemingly so frail, breasts the utmost
fury of the gale, skimming with in
credible velocity the trough of the
waves and gliding rapidly over their
crests. 1t does not make practice of
alighting on the water, and seldom
rises higher than eight or ten feet
above the surface.
| have known them tosDerch all night

musical whistle, seemingly an accom-
paniment to the noisy waters foaming

Petrels. IN hocks, sleep upon the water
at night. Of the Cape of Good Hope,
on bright moonlight nights, when the
weather would permit, l have seen
through a strong night-glass dozens of
the sleeping petrels pass directly under
the bows of the ship. They would
bob up serenely" astern in the glitter
ing wake with plaintive whistle, swim
a few yards, and with a preliminary
tlutter of wings and feathers, settle
down to enjoy again the slumbers that
bad so rudely been disturbed. ST.

THE FIELD DAISY.

pissed and detested of all noxious
weeds. We say noXious. because it
was the adherence and often the des-

was white weed, when, from a certain
legend connected with it, it was not

nuisance of the grass field. Flowing
did little good. If it did not still STAY
in the burrows it would find its way
out in the manure next year and up
rear its saucy head more fresh and
blooming than ever.
The worst of it all was that it was
always beautiful. The aesthetic sense
is not greatly developed in the aver
age farmer, and when it conflicts with
his profits it is never anywhere He
could not see its beauties, and in ear
lier days almost everyone else was

USES OF WATER.

of Nature Greatly.

particles are cast aside and eliminated
from the system. while the new are
ever being formed from the inception
of life to its close. says Halls Journal
Of Health.
Water has the power of increasing
these tissue changes, which multiplies
the waste products, but at the same
time they are renewed by its agency,
giving rise to increased appetite, which
in turn provides fresh nutriment. Per-
sons but little accustomed to drinking
water are liable to have the waste
products formed faster than they are
removed. Any obstruction to the free
working of natural laws at once pro-
duces disease, which, if once firmly
seated, requires both time and money
to cure.
People accustomed to rise in the
morning weak and languid will find
the cause in the imperfect secretion of
wastes, which many times may lie
remedied by drinking full tumbler
of water before retiring. This very

PREPARED FOR THE FIGHT.
How the Nations of Europe Reached til
Limit of Endurance.

What a wonderful spectacle it is
that Europe now presents! Her pOpu-
lation claims a sort of monopoly in
civilization, yet outside of England
every nation has reached the limit of
its endurance in preparing for war,
which nevertheless does not arrive.
The surplus energy and money of the
whole continent is devoted to keeping
up security which is nowhere felt to
be quite sufficient, yet is nowhere
overly which, indeed. is
guaranteed by profuse professions of
peaceable intentions.
The work of civilization goes on,
every day records some advance in
science or in human comfort, the toll
ers are daily exerting themselves to
secure more leisure, better housing,
and pleasanter food, and yet the ma
lions with one consent are converting
themselves into food for powder. 1t
is as if the professor and the merchant
and the laborer, while strenuously 90

to derive more comfort from it. were
all agreed that they must sleep in

yet there is not Il sign that we are ar
irving at the end of the situation.
People say it must end some day, but
it has gone on getting worse for twen-
ty years; and though it cannot get
worse still, because men and money
are alike exhausted, there is no proof
that it will not last for twenty years
further yet.
There is not a statesman in Europe
who could draw up, much less carry,a
project of general disarmament. There
is not popular leader in Europe who
makes of disarmament an earnest cry,
though the Socialists in their fear of
repression would do it if they could;
and we question if there is a nation in
Europe which would consent to be dis
armed. That is certainly not triumph
of human wisdom; and yet the ma

In the choir of st. Peters in Rome
there is not a female voice, and yet, says
a recent traveller in Italy, the most diff

are rendered in such manner as to
make one think that AdeIine PATHS high
soprano is leading. The choir is COM
posed of sixty boys. They are trained
for the work from the time they get con-
troll of their vocal chords and some Of the
best singers are not over nine years old.
At the age of seventeen they are dropped
from the choir. To say that In that fe-
nous editice one hears the graudest
church music that the world has ever
known sounds commonplace, so far short
does it fall Of apt description. [ am

One of the anecdotes told of Ben
Franklin's youth is in connection with
his visit to London when he was 10 years
of age. He was in search of work, and
having learned the printers trade went
straight to a printing Office and made
known his errand. The foreman saId
rather uperciliously:
"Ah, lad from America seeking en-
ployment as a printer! Well, do You
really understand the art of printing?
Can You set type?
Young Franklin stepped to one of the
cases and in brief space set up these
words from Johns gospel: Nathaniel
said unto him, can any good thing come
out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him,
come and see." The test conveyed such
delicate rebuke, and the work was so
quickly and accurately done that a posi-
ti0n was given to him at once

RACINE, Wis, Jan. 25.-The Rev. B. 2.
Hoppe of the English Methodist church
OF Waterford, IN this county, was brought
TO this city tonight by Constable Foot
and locked IN jail. He is charged with
the murder of Ellie Brownell's illegitimate
child and also with causing the death of
the girl by neglect, she being servant in
ais family. The complainant in the case
is +. b. Moe, prominent merchant of
Waterford. The complaint states in sub
stance that the Rev. MIR. Hoppe caused
bandage to be placed about the girl when
she was in a delicate condition, for the
purpose of killing her child; that when she
was taken i'll he neglected to summon and
refused to allow others to summon proper
assistance, and that he wilfully and felon-
lously and OF malice forethought did
kill and murder Effie Brownell. Natur-
ally the people of the little town where
the affair occurred are all wrought up
over the case and appear to be divided as
to the guilt or innocence of the accused
pastor.
