A Birds Revenge.

A lady who was one day watching a

edo you know, said an army Off.
Ger, "that if Sitting Bull, the old Sioux
chief, had been a white man, he would
have been called a great general? In
fact, he was a great natural soldier-a
sort of red Napoleon.
"Sitting Bull was not real chief
that is, he wasn't war chief. He was
a medicine man, what the Indians call
a medicine chief. But he had great nat
ural capacity as commander His sur
prise and cutting off of Custer would
have been called great achievement if
a white general had i'll some war per-

LIE cHuRcA oF sd. soPHIA.

1t Stands as the Masterpieces of byzantine
Architecture and Construction.
Materials were brought from far and
near, Egypt and Greece uniting with
Asia Minor and the islands, each con-
tiguous to the capital, in supplying their
quota Of marble for the columns and
walls Of the church of st. Sophia. For
nearly six years the work went on with
undated energy. Many difficulties
were overcome and many experiments
were tried and found successful, and at
length, on the Goth of December, 557,
the church was dedicated amid the ac-
CARNATIONS of the populace, and the en-
peror exclaimed in the fullness of his
pride: "Glory be 10 God, who hath
thought me worthy to accomplish so
great a work / have vanquished thee,
o Solomon :"
The emperor's joy in his church was,
however, destined 20 receive rude
shock some 20 years later, when the
apse and part of the dome were thrown
down by an earthquake, bat the same
energy which was shown in the build
ing of the church again asserted itself.
The damage was repaired--the dome
being heightened 20 feet TO give il adj
ditional security-and the church was
reconsecrated on the oath of December,
sos, 8 - years after the disaster.
The church of st. Sophia has never
been surpassed in the unity and com
pleteness of its design and in the dar-
ing nature of it's construction. In this
building the arch and dome assert them
selves and dominate everything, and we
have a lightness, a spaciousness and a
grandeur that had never been reached in
the finest of the basilicas and has never
been surpassed since. During all the
centuries which have elapsed since its
erection, it has maintained its supremacy
as the masterpiece of Byzantine archi-
lecture and construction, and it fixed
generally the type on which most of the
later churches in the east were based,
but ii has never been surpassed by any
of them. Scottish Review.

A Triumph of Elementary Education.

The following little incident happened
in a London suburb A bootmaker's APP
prentice, lad of about 4, delivered a
pair of boots at bridesmaids house.
The tradesman's wife, accustomed TO
orderly business ways, asked the lad,
after handing him the money for the
boots, to receipt the bill. At this re-
quest the lad showed the greatest con-
fusion, so that the woman, to reassure
him, said, Just receipt it, as a matter
of business. Whereupon he wrote
laboriously something ON the paper. In
the evening, when the tradesman exam
ined the papers on the spike, he came
upon bootmaker's bill, at the foot Of
which was written in large letters in a
schoolboy hand, GAS a matter Of bust

Mr. Constantin Gil0n, reporting
~ Ise Tour ia Mmsds las scientific re-
searches IN Nova Zembla. furnishes an
interesting description IF his sensations
and experiences daring the long arctic
night, which began Nov. aud ended
Jan. 20.
September was pretty comfortable, he
says. Then suddenly snow covered the
mountains. The Samoyedes, his only
companions put or their winter cloth
ing. the fishing boats set sail for Arch
angel. the ground froze. the sun lost its
warmth and heavy SHOWS fell. Winter
had come in earnest
On the day when the sun showed it
self for the last time ali hands went
cut Of doors TO bid it farewell 1t re-
NAMED in sight for half an hour only.
For few days longer there was
morning twilight Then this faded and
gave place TO black night. The stars
shone the whole "a hours. The huts Of
the colony were buried under the snow,
Of which thick whirlwinds filed the
air. The wind shook the huts to their
foundations. Sometimes for days to-
gether the inmates of the different huts
could hold no communication with each
other, though the huts We're side by side.
If any one went out, he was seized by
the wind and had4o be dragged back by
means of ropes
In this darkness and desolation the
aurora borealis did much TO entertain
and cheer them. 1t lasted sometimes for
five days in succession, with splendors
Of color that Mr.. Nossiloff tries in vain
to describe. 10 enjoy the spectacle he
used to remain for hours in hole IN
the snow, sheltered from the wind.
81 have never seen anything more
terrible than tempest during the polar
night" says Mr. Nossilotf. Man feels
himself overwhelmed in immensely"
When there came lull in the storm,
the men ventured out to breathe the
air and purge their lungs of the exhala-
tions of the smoking lamps fed with
seal oil.
Twilight appeared again in the mid
die Of January. and on the goth the sun
rose above the horizon, while the mem
beers of the little colony stood in line
facing it and fired a salute. No one had
died or been seriously i'll, but all had
the look of corpses and were feeble as
convalescents after long sickness.
Health returned with the appearance of
the sun. Youths Companion.

One Of the greatest curiosities among

Il breed Of cattle known to the biologists
Is the sacred running oxen. They
are the dwarfs Of the whole OK family.
the largest specimens Of the species new
er exceeding so inches, or SD feet in
height One sent to the Marquis Of Can
terbury in the year 1891. and which is
still living and believed to be some
where near 10 years of age, is only s2
inches high and weights but 100
pounds. IN Ceylon they are used for
making quick trips across the country
with express matter and other light
loads, and il is said thar four az them
can pull driver If two wheeled cart
and 200 pound load of miscellaneous
matter go co 20 miles day. They keep
up a constant swinging uOt or run and
have been known to travel 100 miles In
a day and night without either feed or
water. No one knows anything concern
ing the origin of this peculiar breed of
miniature cattle. They have been known
on the island of Ceylon and in other
Buddhistic countries for more than
thousand years. One story told 10 ao-
count for their origin is to the effect
that they We're originally cattle Of the
ordinary height and bulk; that Bud
dhistic priest was once imprisoned in
stone building, one-haif of which was
used for cattle stable. During the
night he managed TO dislodee one Of the
stones in his prison wall The stone in
question was exactly = i feet square.
1t was almost daylight when this
apostle of Buddha felt the air rush
through the opening he had made and
realized that he was all but free He
knew that he would be unable to get
ont of the enemy's country on foot. SO
he prayed that he might be provided
with beast of burden that would safely
carry him to the homes Of the followers
of Buddha. No sooner had he done this
than one of the large oxen which had
been quietly feeding in a stall at his side
walked leisurely to the 80 inch square
opening and miracdlously passed
through it.
The priest followed and mounted the
now sacredly dwMled beast and was
soon safe in his own country, Since
that time, so the story goes, there has
been breed of sacred running oxen"
in Ceylon, which never grow too tail to
pass through an opening the size of
that made in tho prison wall by Bud

he miraculously escaped on the back Of
