Up to the end of the last century some
curious ideas prevailed as to the way swal-
lows pass the winter, some naturalists sup
posing them to sleep in holes or hollow
trees during winter, while others main
tanned that they lived in the mud at the
bottom of ponds and streams. Frisch, a
German naturalist, experimental by fas-
tening threads colored with water colors to
several birds, and on their temperance in
the spring these threads were found the
same, disproving the water theory. The
European species leave for Africa about the
end of October, returning about the 10th of
April. They fly singly or in groups of three
or four, and arrive on the farther side of the
Mediterranean in state of exhaustion.
The Australian chimney swallow is SIM
liar to the European species, migrating in
spring to the southern parts of Australia
and Van Dieman's Land. where it breeds,
returning on the approach of winter to the
warmer climate of the north. The barn
swallow of the United States is too well
known to need a description. 1t spends the
winter in the West India islands and South
America, going as far south as the equator,
leaving the United States about the middle
of September and returning in March

In the summer Of 1868 we were spending
few months at Dunkirk. The English
consul at the time was Sir John then Ma
jor) Pringle. We saw good deal of the
family, and one day, during a walk over
the Dunes after we had been talking of
those holdings unsanctioned by the will
winch teach US to beware" Major Pringle
related the following curious fulfllment
OF dream. When boy of Is, he dreamed
that he met with a strange accident-that
he had fallen in fact into the crater OF an
active volcano and was only rescued from
his perilous position by means of ropes,
with great difficulty and after many hours
1t seemed-of durance. The dream was
so vivid and circumstantial that it made a
great impression Qp the boys mind, and he
mentioned it to several people. Years
passed away, when Pringle CHANGED to be
In Sicily, and here he joined party of
young Englishmen in making the ascent
Of Mount Etna
They attempted too close an examination
OF the crater. Pringle lost his footing and
was precipitated into cuplike depression
from which it was impossible for him to
extricate himself In this terrible predica-
ment the recollection of his dream flashed
upon him For years he had never thought
of it, but now the horrible nightmare was
reproduced in all its fearful realism. After
long and anxious delay, he was rescued
by means Of ropes, precisely as he had been
in his dream. Sir John Pringle was a man
ofundoubted veracity, and though Scotch
man was not addicted to belief in second
sight.-Mrs. Crosse in Temple Bar.

Annually many persons end their lives
before these images, sinking down bleeding

with their hearts blood. We talk about
skeletons In the closet; about the hidden
sorrows OF this world. They are not in the
closets, should judge, from these instances
They are prowling abroad In the sunshine,
