dates Christ said signs Of His coming
would be given. True to His word,
May 10, 1870, the sun was darkened
and the following night, the moon
which in the early part of the evening
looked like blood, became black as
sack cloth of hair. A few years later
the stars fell even as a fig tree casteth
her untimely fruit when shaken by a
mighty wind.
Can we know that we are ready to
meet Him?
Christ says: "Now We are clean
through the word which have spoken
unto YOU
In Ephesians we read: Christ loved
the church, and gave Himself for it,
that He might present it to Himself
a glorious church, not having spot or
wrinkle or any such thing, but that
it should be holy and without blemish."
Christ says: "Be ye therefore, ready
also; for the Son of Man cometh at
an hour when We think not"

with Indifference that the demand for
foreign small birds to supply English
tables is now threatening some entire
species with destruction? This demand
goes on all through the close season,
when no one in Italy would eat any
thing that comes under the head Of
game. Take quails, for instance, Ital-
ian sportsmen are in absolute despair
at the decrease, and in places almost
the disappearance of these birds from
their old haunts. The cause is that
millions are sent to England from
Egypt and from the south of Italy, part
of which are caught in defiance of such
protective laws as exist, while the rest
are Melted In the spring and autumn
and are kept in more or less misery
till the time comes for their dispatch
to meet the requirements of the Lon
don season, which comedies with the
natural nesting time. The French Gov
eminent for some years prohibited the
transit of quails through France in
the close season, but as this simply led
to their being sent through Germany
and Belgium the prohibition has, l re-
greet to say, been removed notwith
Societies des Glasses. If it were posi-
bic to imagine trapped English part
ridges being devoured from March to
September in a foreign Capital we
should have a similar situation.
1.-The other small birds Called 1arks,'
though they include every variety, and
especially robins) are not sent so much
in the summer, but the enormous Eng
lish demand for them in the cooler
months is causing their destruction
also. While only Italians, and of them
a very limited number, wasted their
time as Dante described it, in catch
ing little birds for their own enter
tainment and their own consumption,
there was no fear of the race dying
out. The sport, such as it is, has gone
on since the days of the Romans and
the birds have never seriously dimin-
iShed. Foreign travellers have always
thought. that there were fewer birds
than there are, as many parts of Italy
are not suitable for their habitation,
but on lands belonging to my own
family in Lombardy I have heard
louder concerts of 1arks and nightin-
gales than 1 ever heard in England.
If the present commerce continues,
however, the time is at hand when
Italy will be really birdless.
Something might be done by MAX
ing the facts known and so creating
a reaction against the fashion which
requires small birds to figure in every
menu. Besides this an international
law vigorously prohibiting their transit
through, or sale in, every country dur
ing the months declared to be a close
season by the laws of the country of
their origin is urgently needed, and
would be hailed with joy, not only by
the admirers of the most charming of
living things, but also by every true
sportsman in the world"

now taken up the subject of music and
has pronounced the violin a sensual
and profane" instrument, unmeet to be
employed in church services. 1t was
Shakespeare who referred, in the IA
miliar solilOquy which opens the play
of king Richard Ill.," to the '1ascivi-
Gus pleasing of lute'; and the Pope
has evidently discovered similar prop
critics in the fiddle. He is of opinion, it
seems, that church music, other than
that of the organ. should be confined
to the harp and ''the gentler wind in
struments." Those who are old enough
to remember music in many English
village churches some thirty or more
years ago will be inclined to wonder
whether such gentle wind instruments
as the flute, the clarionet, and the from
bone are included by the Pope in the
list of suitable agents of ecclesiastical
melody.-London World.
