If there is a four-footed animal in the
New England woods which is entitled
to the name of gentleman" in the best
sense of the term. that animal is the
flying squirrel. He is quiet in manner
and in dress, has an unusually gentle
disposition, and attends to his own
business without making nuisance OF
himself He has none OF the impudence
or pugnacity Of his red cousin, AMI he is
a character of much greater refnems snt
than his large and powerful relative, the
grey squirrel.
Though the smallest member of his
family hereabouts, as a woodsman he is
without superior. OF course when it
comes to tree climbing and travelling
through the tops of closely grown. trees,
the grey squirrel is simply magnificent.
But in the open woods, whsre the trees
stand farther apart, the flying squirrel
has a decided advantage, for he can just
sail through the air from one tree trunk
to another.
Like most people of real worth, he is
modest and unobtrusive; so much so, in
fact, that he may often live in a wood
of his presence. Even when it is known
that he is there he is seldom seen, for
he usually sets out at dark and is rarely
abroad in the daytime. His appearance
Is in keeping with hig character The
scft, velvety fur of his upper parts is
of an inconspicuous shade of grey. and
the under parts are white The black
eyes are very large and prominent, the
whiskers dark and long, and the general
expression of the face good natured but
earnest. The claws are much curved
and as sharp as f1shhooks.
But the most peculiar parts of his ana
tony are the membranes by which he is
enabled to make his long flights, or rathe.

one On each side of the body, ex-
tend from the wrist CT the forefoot
TO the wrist of the hind foot, and
skin of both the upper and lower
parts. Consequently, though quite thin,
they are of double thickness. They are
covered with short fur both above and
below. When not in use these membranes
are inconspicuous, for. being elastic, they
contract, forming an irregular ridge along
each side. When the squirrel wishes to
fly he springs into the air from the
upper part Of a tree, and b. spreading his
legs as wide as he can, stretches the
membranes taut. like the covering of an
open umbrella. On this natural para
chute he is able to sail for considerable
distance, but always from aigh point

THE ST. ANDREW DELEGATES.
Go to Attend the brotherhood Con-
Nention in Richmond.

The delegates from this city to the an
nual convention of the Brotherhood of ST.
Andrew, which is being held this week at
Richmond, Va, left this morning for that
place. The convention begins today. and
will conclude mex. Sunday night. Probably
the most importan, subject that viii be
brought forward for deIiberation is that
of the rule Of service. AT present, ii is
very simple: TO make an earnest effort
each week to bring at least one young man
within the hearing of the Gospel-of Jesus
Christ. An amendment will be offered to
make the rule Of service as broad as the
rule OF prayer. and, in the Identical Ian
SuaSe, to make an earnest effort for the
spread Of Christ's kingdom among young
men, The amendment also strikes out
the qualifying word young" and thus
takes in all men as the subjects OF broth
erhood prayer and service.
There are about fifteen hundred chapters
of the brotherhood in the United States
The Bishop of Washington. the Right Rev.
Henry Y SatteTIee, D. D., will address the
convention on matters pertaining to the
welfare of the brotherhood
