When Jnck Tar Mhi.t1e.

The first time L went to sea 1 was
whistling blithely one day, for the sun
was bright and the breeze was fresh.
and the tub was spanking along under
all her canvas, when a sailor warned
me to stop. 1 asked why. He said
the wind was coming up fast enough
as it was, and if kept on whistling ii
would be fetching gale about their
ears. Afterward L learned that it is
permissible TO whistle during a calm.
and, indeed, 1 have known captains
and mates to turn toward the quarter
from which they wished the wind to
spring and whistle for some minutes;
but it is against all custom to whistle
when the wind is rising, for that is
notice to Davy Jones that you want
more, and he may turn on hurricane.

The Farce islands are remarkable

frequent them, and which furnish an
important supply of feathers to com

birds for it's feathers is the putin.
about 100000 of which are caught an
nually. Perpendicular cliffs of rock,
facing westwardly, are known as
fowling cliffs, because of the birds
that cover their shelves. During part
of the summer the birds are so
numerous around the cliffs that they
are said to resemble a thick snow
storm. Very few birds are found about
cliffs that do not have a western ex-

The Nineteenth Century,. Comet,

During the nineteenth century 235
new comets were discovered, as
against 62 in the eighteenth century.
The nineteenth century also beheld a
greater number of large and brilliant
comets than did its predecessor. The
finest of these were the comets of
1911, 1s43, 1883, 1881 and 1882. In the

TO A DEAD MINSTREL.

Beside the naples messy foot
The hermit thrush lies dead,
Among the white anemonies
Like tapers round its bed.
It's downy breast Of dappled gray.
Its russet wings are still.
Its velvet throat will never more
With heavenly music thrill.
AT evenings golden afterglow
What happiness was mine
To hear from out the leafy choir
That evensong divire.
So pure and sweet that other sounds
Seemed hushed in silent prayer
The while that matchless melody
Filled all the listening air.
Sweet minstrel Of the twilight hour.
When purple shadows creep
Through dimly-lighted forest'aisleS
And flowers close in sleep
Is there no land beyond the stars
Where we shall hear again
Thy hymn of perfect peace and Joy
When life is free from pain?
Shall we alone. with sordid lives
Misspent and prone to sin,
OF all Gods children be the few
Eternal life to win?
Each day you did the Fathers will
And praised Him with psalm
Whose peace fell on the troubled heart,
Like Gilead's healing balm.
And cannot He who made the suns
And sees the sparrow's fall
Provide home so fair and large
That II will shelter all2
