MIGRATORY BIRDS.

Nothing is more characteristic of
our seasons, and nothing more inter-
esting in ornithology, than the migra-
tory flights of the birds. We well
come them when they come North in
the spring in tuneful companies as
the most pleasing feature of reviv-
ing world, this familiar acquaintance
and that saluting us with well remem-
bered greetings. Many speedily dis
appear, to be sure, but most of them
remain to gladden. our hearts and
senses while we watch them cunning
ly contrive their homes and lovingly
rear their young in our gardens and
groves. Then, in the restful, medi-
tative days of autumn, the story is
reversed. Birds which we caught
glimpse of in the spring grant us
second brief interview, Our summer
friends are assembling and departing,
and presently only the faithful few
who reside with us the year around,
plus some winter visitors from boreal
parts, will be seen in Our woods and
meadows.
Itappears, then, that we in temper
ate latitudes entertain two sets of an
nual visitors-one from the South
and the other from the North. This
is true, and it looks as though the
custom of migration had begun among
the birds-wanderers by nature-by
their annually distant journeys, in
the course of which they built their
nests, and that after awhile certain
ones had got into the habit of staying
in the new regions or of making only
short and partial migrations which by
and by will cease. 1t is significant
that most of the pronounced migra-
tory species are errant members of
families mainly tropical.
The sole business of a migratory
birds sojourn in the summer land of
its choice seems to be the rearing of
a family. This accomplished, the
thoughts of the birds seem to turn
Immediately to the South-to the
warm, fruitful, indolent ATTITUDES,
where harsh winds and chilling rains,
and fading leaves never benumb
bright spirits. Then conjugal ties
break, fathers forsake mothers and
wave after wave sweeps down to US
from Canada, as if on wings of au-
tumnal breezes, it is noticeable that
old males are leading the hosts of each
species, and that only later, sometimer
much later, come females and young.
I am careful to make this matter
of the succession of age clear, because
of its notable significance in the prob
lem: How do birds find their way?
The old answer was short and easy.
Instinct tells them. This means, if
it means anything, that bird is born
with an intuitive knowledge of road
he has never seen, perhaps crossing
an ocean. Moreover, migration routes
are rarely straight lines north and
south, to which the little creatures
might be kept by some mysterious
"sense of polar direction" but are
usually somewhat roundabout, often
crooked, and sometimes squarely east
and west for large part of the
course.-Ex.

The Voice or Hymn Of the Grass in May.
BY sARAH RoBERrs, OF AMERIcA

BY SARAH ROBERTS, OF AMERICA.
Here come creeping, creeping everywhere
By the dusty roadside,
On the sunny hillside.
Close by the noisy brook,
In every shady nook,
come creeping, creeping everywhere.
Here come creeping, smiling everywhere;
all around the open door,
Where sit the aged poor;
Here where the children play,
In the bright and merry May,
come creeping, creeping everywhere.
Here come creeping, creeping everywhere;
In the noisy city street
Ny pleasant face you'll meet,
Cheering the sick at heart
Toiling his busy part
Silently creeping, creeping everywhere.
Here come creeping, creeping everywhere; !;
You cannot see me coming,
Nor hear my low sweet humming;
For in the starry night,
And the glad morning light.
/ come quietly creeping, creeping every ywhere
Here l come creeping, creeping everywhere !;
More welcome than the flowers
In summers pleasant hours;
The gentle cow is glad,
And the merry bird not sad,
To see me creeping. creeping everywhere.
Here come creeping, creeping everywhere; /;
When you're numbered with the dead,
In your still and narrow bed.
In the happy spring I'll come
And deck your silent home,-
Creeping, silently creeping everywhere.
Here come creeping, creeping everywhere;
My humble song or praise
Most joyfully raise
To Him at whose command
| beautify the land,
Creeping, silently creeping everywhere

Dowsin' her in water till
She's connected with chill.

Givin' her dreadful fright,
Tyin' rags around her tail,
Poundin' on an old tin pail.
Chasin' her around the yard,
Seems as though twas kind Of hard

Cause she wants to raise brood.

Jest cause natur' wants its way.
While ago my neighbor, Penn,
Started burstin' up a hen.
Went to yank her of the nest.
Hen, though, made peck, and jest
Grabbed his thumbnail good and stout,
Like to yank the darn thing out.
Penn he twitched away and then
Tried again to grab that hen.
But, by ginger, she had spunk,
Cause she took and nipped junk
Big's bean right out his palm.
Swallered it, and cool and calm
Hi'sted up and yelled "Cah-dahln
Sounded like she said Hoo rah -

Penn he bowed, took Off his hat.
Spunk jest suits him, youcan bet,

Some Statistics of
Paris Exposition.
Tate Of the Structures.

So much in detail has been writ.
ten of special features OF the Paris
exposition that iscapitulation Of
some facts will be useful by way of
giving a general idea of the nagni-
tude of the affair. In the first place,
the expenses of the directors in the
aggregate fost up $28,000, 900, of
which the government contributed
"a, 100000, the city of Paris an
equal amount, the Bank of France
$6, 100000, while the people sub.
scribed $4,000, 900, and the sum of
81, ,0O0,0 900 sCas realized from the
sale of conesssioIs AS to space,
the exposition covers 270 acres, or
thirty acres more than that Of 1889
OF the structure, three will remain
Is permanent adornments of Paris
the great Alexander bridge and the
two palaces of art. The grounds are
provided with fiftysight turDstiles,
having capacity Of 10000 an hour,
and it is expected the number of
visitors will reach 10000, 900, as
against the 80, 100000 of the 1889
fair. The entrances proper of the
exposition are replicas of the Holy
gate of the Krsmlin, the Sun gate
OF Toledo, the Victory gate of Cairo,
the Roman gate Of Treves, the gate
Of Delhi, the gate of st. Paul of
BaIls and st. James gate Of London
and replica of Nesle. An idea of
the magnitude OF the collection of
exhibits may be formed from the
fact that the catalogue will cost
$4,000. AS to special features, the
most unique are the water palace,

A German View OF
the Cuban Frauds.
Takes the opportunity to at
tack American Policy.

Our cable dispatches today an
nonnce that the VasSische Zeitung
of Berlin, one of the leading news,
papers Of Germany, has taken ad
vantage of the peculaticps in the
Havana Past Office, to bitterly at.
tack the whols policy of the United
States In reference 20 the Island of
Cuba.
That there have been frauds OF the
most serious nature committed by
trusted officials Of tae Government
is unfortunately true, but certainly
none will regret their perpotratiOn
mere than the present Administra-
tion in the United States.
There have been, and will CONT.
nue. to be criminals of all grades in
all countries 1t is impossible to
prevent the Commission of crime.
All that any government can do is,
when crime is committed, to search
out and apprehsnd the criminal, and
when convicted to impose such
salutary and exemplary punishment
as to deter both him and others from
similar crimes. Tine United States
Government has used sll diligence
in probing this scandal to the bottom,
and the guilty, without fear or fayer,
will be given the full rigOr of the
law.
And yet, because few thieves
have stelsn money form the Post
Office, this German paper attacks
the National Policy ofthe American
Governmertin in respect to Cuba.
That is certainly most absurd
contention.
A crime las been committed, the
criminals have been caught and will
be punished, and yet this newspaper
takes the incident as text for
long diatribe against the United
States, and even says that it will
accelerate the declaration of Cuban
Independence. 1t will neither re.
tard ner accelerate. The United
States are pursuing campaign of
education, and as soon as the time
arrives when Cuba and the Cubans
shall be fit sor complete self govern
ment Cuban indepencc will become
an established fact, and not till
then.

The naval officials are determined
to maintain the policy of training

advent Of mastless ships ard vessels
devoid of sail-powsr has snly empha-
sized the fact that the hest ssamen,
tbs most apt men, are those who
haVs had experience in ships propel-
led BY sail. IT is because of this that
leading officers like Rear-Admiral
Sampson are in favor of drawing the
naval reserves of the country largely
from the fishermen and seafaring
population Of the coasts. Experience
shows that properly to train the ap,
prenticss they must bs schoolsd in
vessels wholly or largely propelled
by sail. Great Britain adhsrss to
this practice, and for the British ap-
prentices special sailing-brigs are
maintained.
