Manufactured Antiquities.

When it is remembered that during
the past half century nearly every
quarter of Europe has been visited by
hundreds and thousands of tourists, all
with the collecting instinct more or less
strongly developed, it ought to occur to
the man of average intelligence that the
stock Of genuine relics and antiquities
has long since been exhausted. 1t will
interest many to knew that manufact-
ured antiquities abound wherever the
traveller sets his foot. In Italy, particu-
larly at Rome, this is especially the case.
A few years ago, when the Tiber was
being dredged for the recovery of certain
works of art which we're supposed to be
buried in the thick strata of mud, a lot
of vases, fragments of statues and other
antique" things were fished out and
sold to the confidipg tourist at fancy
prices; the game went on for fong time
until, indeed, an extensive pottery for
the manufacture of ancient Roman and
Grecian urns was discovered and by this
time the authorities found out that the
portions of statues we're the work of in.
digent sculptors. Three or four years
ago, seventeen Egyptian mummies" in
the old museum of Berlin proved to be
the bodies of fellows who, not 30 very
long ago. drank beer, in gardens of the
Fatherland. Temple Bar.

A World Decisive War to Come.

Many have been tempted to say, in
view of the vain rumors OF wars OF the
past few months which have affected
four continents, that we have seen the
last great war. 1t might, indie, d, be 30
if all nations were on the same level of
civilization. But with the great races Of
the world, those which will inevitably be
the leading actors in the coming drama,
still in such different stages of advance
ment, who will dare predict that we have
yet entered upon a millennium Of perpet-
ual peace? The odds are altogether in
favor of at least one more great struggle
OF physical force, compared with which
very likely, the greatest struggles of the
past will seem but child's play, before
we enter upon the era of the peaceful
competition of ideas and institutions and
racial types which will introduce the
real millennium when it comes. If such
a conflict of force should come, there is
only one place for us. We must be on
the side of our own ideas and institu-
tions and race, and we cannot afford in
the mean time to be training ourselves
to consider our natural allies our natural
enemies, or to weaken the sum of our
resources by any civil strife that can be
honorably avoided-Prof. Geo. B
Adams IN the July Atlantic.

The Marsh Wren's Home.

The nest of the long billed marsh-wren
is probably the strangest thing about it.
and another surprise is in store for the
student of their ways who has caught
one of the midgets suspiciously near a
great structure of reeds and grasses, as
big as cocoanut, and suspended in the
frailest way among the reeds or bushes,
several feet from the ground. 1t is
wholly out of proportion to the size of
the bird. but no nest could be more sub
stantially put together. The materials
are coarse rushes and grasses. wound
round and round in globular form, the
ends being carefully worked in to make
tolerably smooth, tough thatch, per-
fectly dry and less than an inch thick.
with hole somewhere in the side near
the top for the wrens to go in and out.
Just where that hole is, few can tell un-
til after brood has been raised and the
way has been made plain by the constant
coming and going. If one is not in pos
session of the secret. he had better not
try to discover it unless he wishes to de-
stroy the nest. for he would be likely to
lose patience and perhaps to thrust
finger through the wall.
In the old nests the orifice may be
plainly seen. tits nearly an inch across;
but in the new nest, instead of leading
directly to the inside like a simple win
dow, there is wide shelf or sill, which
projects not outward but inward, and
slopes steeply upward, so that the wrens
when entering, must first go up and then
down. The inside, which is as big as
ones two fists. is comfortably lined with
feathers, and on this bed of down may
be found in June and July clutch of
beautiful and curious eggs, dark brown,
like chocolate drops, and in number from
five to nine.-O Our animal Friends.

DAvID'S VICTORIES.
Lesson Iv.-August o. 1896.
INTRODUCTION.

That David was successful in war,
and therefore deserves to be classified
with those who have genius for killing
men, is fact in which we cannot take
unqualified satisfaction. We are to re-
member however in David's behalf that
he lived in an age when war was the
chief business of the nations. II he had,
in advance of his time, attempted to be
a non resistant, it is probable that he
would soon have been non existent. We
have no words of condemnation for
certain American pioneers we have
known because they were skilful and
courageous in fighting panthers and
wolves. David lived in the time and in
the region where war against human
wolves and panthers was a manifest hui
man necessity.-Yet War between
man and man can never be wholly
right. War belongs only to crude age
of civilization. Wolves, panthers, lions,
leopards. alligators are destined to ex-
termination. Their human counter
parts will also have their day. Swords
will give way to plowshares, spears to
pruning hooks. Boards of arbitration
will take the place of standing armies.
The nations will. in the better day COM
ing, learn war no more.--That
David was a great man of war makes
him for us an interesting historical per-
sonage; but the same fact, we need not
forget, was reason why he could not
be the builder of the enduring temple of
religion.

SUGGESTED THOUGHTS.

1. In summary of Davids military
achievements we find him entitled to be
classified among the great military con-
querors of the ages.
2. We must Judge of David by the
standard of the barbarian age in which
he lived.
g. If David had been only success
full fighter he would not be worthy of
our remembrance.
