Pcrclilng SeagulIs.

The captain of a steamer that plies
along the New England coast and that
was passing one of the rugged, lonely
islands off the Maine shore, pointed to
an enormous flock of gulls that
whitcncd the rocks, the surface of the
sea, and the branches of the ccdars
that cling to the hard soil "There,"
said he, what do you think of that9
And yet If you turn to a book on natur-
al history they'll tell you that gulls
won't perch on trees. Some fool sailors
believe that the petrels, or Mother
Carcy's chickens, never alight even on
the water, but are always on the wing.
They don't use their eyes. And some
of those scientific fellows are as bad as
the sailors"

Creatures OF Ito Night.

Nocturnal creatures assume night ac-
tivity for some other reason than that
they cannot see by day, or that they
see better by night. The bat sees ad-
mirably in the brightest sunlight. as
anyone knows who has ever teased one
by polSing stick at it. 1t will open
its mouth and make an angry grab at
the stick, when it is not near it by
several inches. Prof Bollcs says it is
the same with owls. They see perfect
ly in bright sunlight and better at
night than most creatures. .....

The Questionable Wild Horse.

The most interesting feature Of the
other recently discovered member Of
the family Of Equidae, Prejevalsky's
horse, is it's possession of both equine
and asinine characteristics. If, Gs 1t
seems generally supposed, this beast
was really specimen Of distlnc5
class. and not an accidental hybrid,
say between the Kianr, or Thi5etan
wild ass. and the horse, its existence
would completely break down the
generic distinction which some Zoolo-
s;sts establish between the equine and
o:iDine groups Of Equidae. But the
evidence of its existence in any num-
Der is, up to the present time, not
very weighty, for, although three or
four other specimens Of similar ami
NAL are said to have been procured,
there is no proof that they were ebso-
lutely identical with 1.-THE specto'
tor.

If Shakespeare knew one fact he knew it's
kindred and it's neighbors. Looking at d
coat of mail he instantly imagined the So
ciety, the conditions that produced 1t, and
what it in turn produced. He saw the cas-
the tower, and the knightly lover squirting
across the plain. He saw the bold baron
and the rude retainer, the trampled serf,
and all the glory and grief and feudal life
He was man Of imagination.
He lived the life of all.
He was citizen of Athens in the days Of
Pericles. He listened to the eager eloquence
of the great orators, and sat upon the
multitudinous laughter of the sea-" He
saw Socrates thrust the spear of question
through the shield and heart of falsehood.
He was present when the great man drank
hemlock, and met the night of death, tram
quill as star meets morning. He listened
unpuzzled by the sophists. He watched
Phidias as he chiseled shapeless stones to
forms of love and ave-
He lived by the mysterious Nile, amid the
thought that wrought the form and fea>
lures of the Sphinx. He heard great Mem
mons morning song when marble lips were
smitten by the sun. He laid him down with
within their dust the expectation OF an
other life, mingled with cold and suffocating
doubts-the children born of long delay.
He walked the ways OF mighty Rome and
saw great Caesar with his legions in the
field He stood with vast and motley
throngs and watched the triumphs given to
victorious. men, followed by uncrowned
kings, the captured hosts, and all the spoiis
of ruthless war. He heard the shout that
shook the Coliseum roohess walls, Wne ,i
sword fell, while from his bosom gushed the
stream of wasted life.
