Lonsdale did it SO we'll that when
he wished to resign the mastership

creased subscription to enable him
to meet tho annually swelling ex.
pense of hunting the country. A
performance of Lord Lonsdale's
which excited great interest at the
time was the driving match he ar
ranged with Lord Shrewsbury in
March, 1891. Lord Shrewsbury,
owing to misapprehension, did not
come to the starting post. Lord
Lonsdale did, and performed the
truly remarkable feat of driving (1)

Tho Seed and tho Soil.

Professor Doellinger. one Of the
most erudite theologians of tho Ro-
man church, remarked in lecture
before the Munich Academy Of Sci
ences, on the subject of Founders
Of Religion" +" that religions did not
drop ready made from heaven, nor
could religious systems find per-
manent resting place without soil
prepared to receive new ideas, on
which they could germ and sprout.
In fact, the ideas must have been in
a state Of termination. growing
gradually to fruition. to spring into
life at the touch of the founders
magic wand. 1t is the same with
nations. They do not spring like
Minerva out Of Jupiter's head, full
dedged. They are Og slow growth,
and when the proper leader and leg
islator steps upon the stage the ma
terial must be ready to be formed
into homogeneous whole. -Minorah.

"Lost ut Sea-

Many q fishing schooner that sails
out Of Gloucester with her ensign
huttering gayly from the "maiu
truck" comes in by Cape Ann, Oh
her return from the banks, with
her colors at half mast. A dory or
two lost in the fog or run down in
thick weather by an ocean gray
hound that no more felt the collision
than if it crushed an eggshell-at
all events, couple of men or more
for Davy Jones locker-such is only
too often the tale brought back from
the fishing grounds to Gloucester,
our chief fishing port. Tears at
parting, weeks of anxious suspense,
and when the ship comes home tears
again for a lost husband, son or
brother - that story is common
enough on Massachusetts bay. And
even if neighbors say, "Don't cry,
dearie; perhaps some ship has
picked him up and he'll come back
to you" the hope is short lived.
