PIKE GOES BIRDING.
A Naturalist Tells How 1t Conducted IL.
PecnIis Warfare.

warfare
It is common saying that birds go
a-fishing, but it is not generally known
that very often the case is reversed and
the birds supposed to be the enemies
of the fishes are caught in the tolls.
Several years ago, while fishing of
the Maine coast, the writer observed
what the fishermen called the running
of the dog-fish. One day the fishing for
cod, hake and paddock was excellent;
the following morning it had stopped as
suddenly as though a command 20 all
the finny tribe had been issued by Nep-
tune.
The explanation was that an army of
small sharks, swimming in from the
unknown depths of the sea, had driven
nway all the edible fish. This horde was
so starved and ravenous that they were
a menace to life. If anything was
thrown into the water they rushed TO
the spot; bit at the oars and sails that

TO be 'contented" is to be contained
in ones own sphere-to recognize Gods
limitations for us in the field of work
and influence which He assigns to u.s.
To be satisfied" is to be so full that we
want nothing more. II is our duty to
be contented wherever we are. It is
not our duty to be satisfied with any
present attainment We ought always
to be reaching forward and upward for
more things and better, in whatever
sphere of life to which God has appoint

VALUABLE INDIAN DOG.

ana his Braves.
Some tribes of American Indians are
said to be highly expert at feats Of lug
elery. Other tribes seem to be almost
unacquainted with such tricks, if we are
TO credit a story said to have been told
by military officer at Fort Sill and re-
ported by the Buffalo Express.
Prof. McAllister, the magician. once
visited a camp Of River Crows on the
Yellowstone. and after extracting vari-
Gus packs of cards and other articles
from the ears. necks. noses and gar
ments of the astonished Indians, was
invited to big feast of roast dog and
other delicacies.
Chief Two Belly was so impressed by
the great.medicine powers of the profess
sor he took him 10 his wlgwam,
introduced him to his daughter, Miss
Wicista-Neeta (peaning wildcat), and
offered her to him for wife at the low
price of two ponies.
The feast and daughter were both de-
clined, but as McAllister was leaving the
tepee he spied lean, yellow cur. He
asked Chief Two Belly how much he
would take for the dog. at the same
time stroking the brute down the back
and each time taking a handful of
money from the end Of his tail

Allister, picking coin out of the dogs
eye and another out of his nose. Two
ponies for him, chief"
The Indians, with eyes as big as sau-
GERS. stood in awe and astonishment,
and shook their heads. After McAllister
had gone they carried the poor dog
down to the river side and cut him open,
but the goose had no golden egg, and
they went slowly back to camp. as
completely dumfounded and as solemn
as human beings can possibly be.

PIKE CATCHING BIRD.

dragged overheard and devoured every
thing eatable that appeared. The gulls
and other birds which were in the habit
of alighting on the water now became
victims. Several were seen to sudden
~ disappear, jerlzed down from below
to be torn in pieces by these hounds of
the sea. In some instances a bird would
escape with the loss of a leg, and doubt
less numbers were caught by the vora-
cious fish.
The most voracious bird catcher is
the pike or piclerel a sly fellow who
turks beneath overhanging limbs on
rocks and watches for some duckling

The pike attains a large SIC and has

successfully carry away so large bird
is doubtful
naturalist was once watching 4
pool that was surrounded by willows
whose graceful foliage fell over the
water, casting deep shadows. Dragon
flies and other insects were darting
about at the surface. and coursing back
and forth, following them in turn were
a number of swallows, which now and
then touched the water as they darted
at some insect. Suddenly, without
warning, from the dark pool the hidden
observer saw a huge pike leap at one of
the birds, the latter barely escaping by
a quick movement, while the fish fell
heavily into the water. Again it tried
to catch one of the swallows, then gave
up the attempt.
Another observer was fishing in a
small lake when he noticed not far
away three young sand martins sitting
on a limb just over the water, the
mother fiutteripg about them, erdeav-
oring to induce them to fly. All at once
an enormous pike dashed out of the
water and seized one of the birdlings
from the limb. the poor mother darting
about in the greatest alarm. Soon came
another leap, and in less than half an
hour this voracious fish had carried off
the three young birds.-Chicago Inter

LESSON FROM EGYPT.
That Country Failed to Maintain the Rattle

That Country Failed to Maintain the Rattle
of sixteen Onions to One Cat.
The ancient Egyptians had cur
rency based on Gus and onions, both of
which were sacred objects worshiped
by the people. AS there was some diff
ficulty in storing the cats, and as the
onion was liable to decay, circulating
medium was provided of papyrus
strips, representing a certain number
of cats and onions at a ratio of six
teen to one. This was true double
standard system and is believed to have
been the origin of modern paper cur
rency. For time the cat-onion money
circulated at par, but the historian
Faque Hur records that about 963 b. C.
a serious difficulty arose. New col
onies had been established in the re-
gion of the upper Nile, and the savage
Nubians had been taught the art of
agriculture. The rich, black soil of
the valley Which they inhabited was
especially suited to the growth of
onions, and the production of those
perfumed bulbs was soon enormously

had only grown in the usual ratio, and
the result was that, with the demand
FOR sacred animals in the new colonies,
at least 80 onions would be given for
one cat. This brought the papyrus
currency into disfavor, and the ruling
pharaoh, Ram Bunkshus III, issued a
royal order that cats should be the
sole standard of value, and that onions
should be issued only to the extent tina
they could be kept at par with the
''caterwaulers," as the unit of value
was termed.
This did not suit the onion growers,
who at once started an agitation for
the free and unlimited coinage OF all
onions at the good old ratio of their
daddies. After passing 3,1S7.642 reso-
lutions denouncing the horrible crime
of 963 the onionites marched in a BODY
to the palace of their pharaoh and de-
manded that the unjust law enacted
at the instance of the catbugs should
be repealed and the bicatallic standard
restored. Ram Bunkshus listened to
them patiently and answered.: Great.
no doubt, was the wisdom of our an
cestors. But l am in the wisdom bust

Gen. Tcherevin's Death.

The death of Gen. Tcherevin, which
recently occurred at st. Petersburg, is,
the correspondent of the London Times
says, an event of some Importance, in
asmuch as 1t is expected to lead to the
discontinuance of the special institu-
ton which the late general represented
and which, in fact, he may be said to
have created-the special guard, COM
posed of variety of persons, known
and unknown, including the police Of
the imperial residence, for the protec-
ton of the person of the car. AT
least T. is rumored that the late general
is not likely to have successor in
exactly the same position under the
present young car, and, indeed, the
condition of affairs is now so different
from that which led to the creation of
this extraordinary position in the early
years Of the last reign that in all prob
ability its continuance in its present
form will be considered unnecessary.
Gen. Tcherevin distinguished himself
in the Polish campaign of 1863 and the
Turkish war of 1877. During the lat
ter he was the head of the cars cos
sack bodyguard which he commanded
for nine years From 1878 to 1880 he
was assistant chief of gendarmes and
head of the third section of his ma
jesty's cabinet, otherwise the secret po-
litical police Subsequently he became
assistant minister of the interior.
While he was in control of the secret
police an attempt was made upon his
life by a nihilist, whom the general
horsewhipped on the spot, after dis
arming him of revolver Alexander
III. attached the general to his person
and gave him immense authority. He
was, therefore, the late cars constant
companion.

young man taxed to the utmost with
all sorts and conditions of athletics.
To be sure he can sit up until morn
ing drinking whisky and soda, devour
no end of champagne suppers and play
ball, tennis and ride, row and run UNI
til it is a wonder that he lives at all,
but dancing-well, that is too laborious
for his physical being, and altogether
too frivolous for his superior ideas Of

borrow as n Missionary.

Strangest of all missionaries was
George Borrow. He had a genius for
language, a gift of style and an In
eradicable love for horse dealing. Like
Carlyle, he had singular power OF
reading the inner man from his out
ward garb and bearing; like Carlyle,
too, with all his literary gifts and at
tainments, Borrow was at heart the
peasant adventurer of the eastern
counties-and was never really at ease
in higher society. His theology never
sat easily upon him.
In his missionary work he had the
oldest way of persuading himself that
it was his duty to follow his widest
caprices, as when he made a Journey
to Cape Finisterre, which he had
longed to see, to leave there a single
copy of the new testament; and he
gave thanks most piously for his neigh
bors' misfortunes: after travelling
four days and nights we arrived at
Madrid without having experienced the
slightest accident though it is but just
to observe, and always with gratitude
to the Almighty, that the next mail
was stopped" (Vol. H., p. 217.)-The

sprung forward and seized the pistol
in her hand to disarm her. Not being
Spaniard, it never entered his mind
to shoot her. In the struggle her pistol
fired and she was shot through the
hand, but her father succeeded in maxi

turned in few days to see about that
hand. He came again to express hin
profound regrets for that wound and
again and again to hope for its early
recovery. He did not stop coming till
he carried that hand off with him,
clasped in his. 1t is his hand now, and
has been for thirty years. Around that
family hearthstone there stands a
