The hoopoo Bird.

The hoopoo is essentially a bird
of the desert. A pretty tradition.
regarding the crest upon this birds
head tells that the crest was a gift
from King Solomon in gratitude for
shelter from the midday sun provid-
ed BY a flight of hoopoos. The first
decoration was a crown of gold, but
as this brought unwelcome atten-
tions from fowlers the monarch
changed the crown to a crest OF
feathers. The Characteristic note
Of the hoopoo is produced as fol-
lows. The bird swallows as much air
as possible and then taps its beak
upon the ground. The escaping AIR
produces the ''hoo-hoo-hoo" which
has earned for the bird its popular
name

The Church And The Saloon.

Not a week goes by that does moi
leave us further evidence OF the I'M
portant fact lat the Chuch oil God
and the liquor traffic are not only
recognizing each other as enemies,
but are more and more coming into
close conflict. The dividing line
will soon be 80 complete, and the
contest will soon be so intense, that
the warfare can only be terminated
by q substantial victory for one or
the other party.
Resolutions OF synods, confer
euces. unions and other church bod
les grow stronger. Leading men
in different denominations are Tor
getting sectarian differences in their
united earnestness to effect the over
throw OF the CONT mon adversary
Our readers must feel new inspira'

story OF new victories for the pro
lhibition cause, won largely through
the efforts of Christian men and wo
men, often led by courageous cler
gymen, who fearlessly call upon To
electors to vote in the right way.
Not an unimportant evidence q

Huge Granite 6ovlders In Which Are
Imprisoned Pagan Souls.

over all the valley Of Plouma-
mach, most thickly along its sea
edge, huge strange shaped powders
Of red granite are scattered singly
or are heaped up in wonderfully
balanced mounds. The mere geolo-
gist will tell you that these rounded
rocks have been dropped by a gla-
cier and that the valley Is the site
of terminal moraine. Any we'll
uneducated Breton of course knows
that this explanation is all nom
sense. NV driver, being cheered by
his pilgrim draft, gave me the more
satisfying information that in every
one of these scattered bowlders Is
imprisoned a pagan soul; that thus
are held fast until the day Of ludg-
ment the Bretons who rejected the
blessed teachings of Christianity
and who paid for their stlf necked
SHINING by being cast into stone.
Once year the enchantment is

sumo their human forms and 60
down to the sea to drink-to drink
Hong and deeply, that they may lay
lin a supply of deliciously cold salt
water that will ease them through
their coming twelvemonth Of tor
ment in internal fires. On the night
of that great drinking it is well for
all good Christians TO bide at home
behind barred doors. AT cock crow
the accursed ones come back from
; their sea cooling to the places where
they belong, changing from men
and women into rocks again as they
surge onward, and surely crushing
: any spying mortal in their way.
Only one escape is recorded from
the charge of that fearsome compa-
! nv, that of a poor good man who In
! charity had carved on one of the en-
! chanted rocks the blessed cross. In
gratitude for that loving act the
cross marked bowlder, a monstrous

partly merged again into rough

a Royal Band Of Pity.

Little Princess Mary of Wales is
a clever child, and both she and her
brothers are very fond of animals.
A favorite amusement of the royal
children is to seek out lame or 9TH
erwise injured birds and then take
them home and nurse them back
to health. To do this they form a
miniature hospital, and, with the
love of make believe natural at their
years, they then act doctors and
nurses tall their patients are well
enough to be discharged, says Home

Joy to a patients rapid recovery l;

pie, the royal children find the

In Japan the use of the fan was
general from the sixth century to
comparatively recent days, when
every person, from the mikado on
his throne even down to the school
children, welded a fan of special
design, according to rank, profes-
sion or social standing. Lovers were
wont to exchange fans as tokens of
fidelity. The fan is still used by
umpires in wrestling ard other
matches to give emp y to their

marble. In west Mexico is a line
with ebony sleepers and ballast of
silver ore drawn from old mines be-
