In the house last Thursday the vote de-

The house chamber was crowded all day

points In favor Of the same.

WINGS.

The gods huf half reluctantly
Grant Us tie gift of song;
Yet, tawny throat. they give to thee
Pure mites and pinions strong.
To those blue worlds that arch above
We look, aspire-and fail.
Thou, thou dost mount the skies we love-
The stars we never scale.
Thcu knowest not, winged soul, the fires
OF that old discord strange,
The vast and infinite desires.
The all too finite range.
So sing for us! Our threats are still,
And song no solace brings
To whom the gods have given the will,
But not, alas. the wings!

THE DATE OF THE FLOOD.
Bible Facts ON which the Bish on
Based His Question.

Bible Facts ON which the Bishop
Based His Question.
Some people had fun over the re-
ported rejection Of eight candidates for
the African Methodist ministry in the
south by the examining bishop because
they could not tell the date Of the
food Nevertheless the bishop who
asked the question knew what he was
doing. 1t may not have been a fair
question. but there is concise answer
to 1t In the Bible, and he no doubt
thought that the eight candidates. IL
they were well versed in the Old Tesla
ment, would answer it at once.
The date Of the food was 1866 years
after the birth of Adam. in the second
month and the seventeenth day. 1t be-
gan then and continued for 40 days
and nights. This Is how 1t Is figured:
The third verse of the fifth chapter Of
Genesis reads thus. And Adam lived
100 years and begat son In his own
likeness. after his image. and called his
name Seth" Then In the sixth verse
1t Is told that Seth lived 1O5 years and
begat Enos. Adam. says the fourth
verse. lived 800 years after the birth
Of Seth. and the latter after the birth
Of Enos lived SO7 years. So it goes on.
Enos begat Cainan when he was 80;
Cainan begat Mahalaleel when he was
rs; Mahalaleel begat Jared when he
was 65; Jared begat Enoch when he
was 1872. Methuselah was born to
Enoch when the latter was 65, and
when Methuselah was 1877 he begat
Lamech. and Lamech's son Noah came
into the world when the father was
1872. This brings US down to the birth
Of Noah, which. according to the added
ages of the several patriarchs at the
time their sons were born, occurred
1,O56 years after the birth of Adam.
In the seventh chapter Of Gensis the
eleventh verse reads as follows: "ln
the six hundredth year OF Noah's life.
in the second month. the seventeenth
day Of the month. the same day were all
the fountains Of the great deep broken
up and all the windows of heaven
were opened" This was the food.
and it came to pass In the year 1856
after the birth of Adam.-New York

Eagles Kill a Baby.

In a village in the northern Carpa-
thians the wife of Michael Davidovics,
a farmer was gathering brushwood the
other day. After wrapping up her
baby she left him on a sunny bank.
When she returned after a short time,
she found only blood-stained %swaddling
clothes. At first she thought that
wolves might have torn the baby to
pieces. But she soon knew the truth.
Two eagles, dashing down, seized the
blood-stained rags and flew with them
up to their eyrie. The oma ran, la
menting, into the village, and the men,
armed with muskets, stormed the
eagles eyrie on the top of the rocky
mountain. One of the eagles was
wounded, but the other escaped. Among
the ice-clad rocks close by the eyrie
the bones and head of the baby were
found.-Francis Perger in Chicago
