FlIlaI Love.

That's a pathetic story of the Gour-
don fishing boat crew. No class of men
face death more frequently than the
hardy fisher toilers Of the sea, and
among none is a genuine heroism more
frequently displayed.
The Gourdon boat was manned by
father and his four sons. When the
boat sank, three of the latter went
with her. The old man got an oar, and
soon the fourth son appeared by his
side. But tine oar could only support
one, and the lad, taking in the situa-
ton at once, babe his parent farewell
In the words, "Weel, weel, father, l
maun fist AVA" and sank.
Only readers familiar with the north
ern dialect will fully appreciate the
depth Of kindly resignation and true
feeling which the words denote. The
father endured terrible sufferings, but
was ultimately picked up. Greater
love hath no man than this."-West-
minister Gazette.

PEACHES AND BLUBBER.
A story of Arthur stringer and an
Oxford Professor.

Canadians are very touchy on the
subject of climate, as Rudyard Kipling
discovered when he somewhat thought
lessly dubbed the Dominion "Our Lady
of the Shows" When Arthur Stringer,
the young Canadian poet and author,
first went TO oxford, he carried with
him letters from Professor Goodwin
Smith of Toronto to Professor York
Powell, the distinguished historian Of
Christchurch.
The old oxford don, like one or two
other Englishmen, had very vague
ideas about Canada and somewhat sur
prised the young stranger by inquiring
IL he got along nicely on English roast
mutton after living so long on frozen
seal meat The young poet gravely
protested that he perhaps missed his
whale blubber little, but the next day
cabled home, and In less than a week
the finest basket of autumn peaches
ever grown in Ontario, carefully pack
ed In sawdust, was on its way to Ok
ford. A short time afterward the
young author was again dining with
the regius professor at Oxford, and
that gentleman produced at the meal
a fruit dish loaded with tremendous
peaches.
"Most extraordinary" said the old
professor, "but these peaches were
sent to me today, and I'm blessed II
know who sent them. From the south
of France, l suspect, so l saved few
of them for you, Strlnger. They will
be such a novelty, you know"
The Canadian very quietly took a
steamship company's bill Of lading
from his pocket and handed 1t to the
professor. The professor gazed at the
bill, then at the fruit, then at the poet.
IT had some whale blubber, too, pro-
fessor," said that young man, "but /
simply had to eat that. These other
things were grown on my uncle's farm
In Kent county, Ont. you know. He
has 200 bushels OF them every year,
and he sent me over a basket of little
ones along with the whale blubber."-

the wall.
Finally the hole was open, and VIII
liams dragged seven men through.
Hook left his post and seized the
eighth patient, but as he reached the
opening Zulu bullet struck the sick
man, and Hook forced him through,
breaking a leg for the poor fellow, al
though saving his life. There was but
one egress from the room where the
two sound and eight helpless men were
beleaguered, and this led out among
the Zulus, so 1t was decided to work
their way back to the main body
of defenses. Hook stood at the
hole, and Williams again piled the
pick. Twice they retreated until they
stood In room with two doors open
ing out upon the Zulus and a window
on the side where II was supposed the
main body of English still held their
parapet. One of the patients became
crazed at the sight of the Zulus and
rushed out among them, only to be
hacked to pieces with due ceremony.
While this was occupying their atten-
ton Hook and Williams put the re-
naming sick men through the window
and climbed after them. The last car
fridge was gone.
But with the party outside the build
ing 1t seemed for a moment as though
the escape was only jump from the
frying pan into the fire." Their COM
rades had been driven from the first
line and were 100 feet from the hos
pital wall. The intervening space was
covered with dead Zulus, showing that
1t lay within the zone of attack. 1t was
swept by Zulu bullets and assagais,
but salvation could only be had by
crossing this field Of death. Williams
and six sick men crossed first without
injury. Then Hook shouldered the sew
enth man, one having two broken legs,
and made struggle for cover. The
burden was limp and hung like sack.
An assagai struck the man, but was
turned aside by his thick overcoat.
Hook painted In his struggle, he reeled
under his burden, but by efforts more
than human he reached the barrlcade
and was drawn inside with his helpless
charge. As soon as he could get his
breath lie took rife and made one
more in the line of gallant defenders of
Rorke's Drift behind the rampant of
biscuit boxes.
By firing the thatch of the hospital
the Zulus had spoiled their own game,
for night came on, and the flames lit up
the scene so that it was death for a
savage to break from cover. Already
their fallen made a second rampant on
the narrow field of fighting but with
their wild frenzy worked up by war
dances they stopped at nothing. Six
times they pushed on over the heaps of
their dead and reached the English
parapet. With the bayonet the heroic
English drove them of and then sailed
out, chasing them from the field. A
Zulu tried to fire the grass roof of the |
storehouse, but well aimed bullet |
brought him down.

LIGHTS FOR BIRDS NESTS.
Some Curious Habits Practiced In
the World of SOngdOm.

NhG W VI oOhBa
Many birds suspend their nests from
the branches of trees, one of the most
curious nests of that kind being that
of the baya bird of India. 1t is hung
from the branch, with its opening at
the bottom, and hangs like an inverted
bottle, secure from the approach Of
tree snakes and other reptiles. The
most curious thing about the baya
bird is that 1t is said to light up its
nest by sticking frefles on its sides
with clay or soft mud. There seems to
be little doubt of the fact
DR.. Buchanan says: AT night each
of the habitations is lighted up by q
FREELY stuck in the top with a piece Of
clay. The nest consists Of two rooms.
Sometimes there are three or four fire.
flies, and their blaze In the little cells
dazzles the eyes of the bats, which Of
ten destroy the young of these birds"
Perhaps other animals are scared of
by the baya birds electric light, since
a writer In Nature records this curl
Gus observation: 81 have been informed
on safe authority that the Indian bot
tie bird protects his nest at night by
sticking several of these glow beetles
around the entrance by means of clay,

friend Of my own was watching three
rats on a roof rafter Of his bungalow.
When a glow fly lodged very close to
them, the rats immediately scampered
off."-Our Dumb Animals.
