1t was first discovered by the large
and noisy colony of English sparrows
which inhabits that vicinity. The first
sparrow to see tho foreigner lost no
time III communicating the news of it's
discovery To its mates, and in three
minutes no less than 90 sparrows had
assembled to examine the strange visit

him, and finally found expression in
series of the most penetrating screeehes,
accompanied by the elevation of his
light green plume, which had Previous
ly been partly concealed in his fluffy,
snow white feathers. This dcmonstra-
ton added threefold to the wondorment
and fright Of the sparrows and in
creased the volume of their chattering

70 BIO old and poor and bedriddcn Is
generally to be dcbarrcd from the great
er privileges Of life, but there was one
old man in Scotland who found his dis
advantages had procured him priv
lege that the strong and more active
members Of his family were seeking in
vain.
IL was on an occasion when Queen
Victoria was at Balmornl, and ny she
often did, she went one day unaccom
panied to visit the cottages. In one Of
these she found an old man, bedridden
and quite alone, and she sat down to
talk to him.
And how is it you are alone" she
asked. Have you no one to keep you
company"
No, " replied tho old man innocent
ly My folks be all away seeing the
queen. They thought they might get a
glimpse Of her.
His visitor made no reply, but she sat
with the old man. pleasantly filling the
gap made by the absence of "his
folks. and then found time to read to
him from the Bible she herself treas
urcd. ON leaving she gave "a further
proof Of her sympathy III the shape Of Il
90 note, accompanying it with the
words, When your people come back
tell them that while they have been to
see the queen the queen has been to see
you. - Youths Companion.

Something About This Dangerous and
Sometimes Cruel sport.
When the two sons OF tho Prince of
Wales We're ON visit to Ceylon, agrand
elephant hunt WAS projected to show
them how the animals were captured.
Here Ia an extract from Joseph Mooro's
description of the hunt:
After long muneuvering the trained
elephants managed To separate lars,
COW from tho herd and so ranged thom-
selves about her that she was forced To
stand. This was tho opportunity wanted.
and IN flash an agile native slipped
under one of tho friendly brutcs, rope
In hand.
Waiting until the restless prisoner
lifted her hind foot, he dcftly placed
the moose about her leg and withdrew.
Another venture fettored the second
limb, the deeoys meanwhile warding off
with their trunks several wrathful
strokes Mt the man. The ropes were now
firmly secured to "A stout tree and the
captive left entirely alone save her calf
Then began IL titantic struggle for
liberty that no few words can justly
portray, Finding herself bafiied in un-
tying the many knots or in uprooting
the tree, she writhed, screamed tore Mt
tho foliage, paved the earth, tossed
clouds of dust over her back, flung her
trunk about fcrcely and planted her
head upon the ground for leverage to
rend asundcr the bonds.
AT length she fell in exhaustion, an
Ruish and despair and lay motionless
and resigned. The natives we'll knew
that these symptoms forbodo tho loss Of
their prize. She painted for an hour or
more, sighed deeply and died---of bro
ken heart -
A male somewhat above medium
size was next submitted to the exciting
ordeal with minor variations. While he
