days when the wind is light they are
sometimes allowed to run about on
deck and stretch their legs. The bull
warks of most ships are from four to
five feet high, and under ordinary cir
cumstances chicken with its wings
clipped can not fly over. But in case
of an unexpected squall and a rush by
the sailors, some chickens do fly over.
/ remember an old hen making a fly
for it one time. AS she went skiting
by me grabbed her by the foot and
held her up for the captains judgment.
"Out on a fly" said he; ''drop it and
get hold of that main BRACE" I
dropped it, but in my rush it fell on
the wrong side of the bulwarks, and
the captain was out another bird.

II Eittle wbils.

A little while a little love,
The hour yet bears for thee and me,
Who have not drawn the veil to see
If still our heaven be lit above.
Thou merely, at the days last sigh,
Hast felt thy soul prolong the tone;
And have heard the night wind cry
And deemed its speech my own.
A little while little love
The scattering Autumn boards for us,
Whose bower is not yet ruinous
Nor quite unleav'd our songless grove.
Only across the shaken boughs
We hear the flood tides seek the sea,
And deep in both our hearts they rouse
One wall for thee and me.
A little while little love
May yet be ours who have not said
The word it makes our eyes afraid
To know that each is thinking of.
Nor yet the end; be our lips dumb
In smiles little season yet;
I'll tell thee, when the end is come,
How we may best forget.

Cebaudy Puts On Royal Hirs.

jacques l., emperor of Sahara is
making preparations to. have himself
received at his residence, 6 Rue De
Berri, Paris, where will float from the
balcony his Saharan flag ornamented
with two lions, supporting shield
bearing as device laborer pushing
plOw attached to motor.
"His majesty" has been busy man
since landing at Hamburg. He sent
letter to Capt. Jures, of the cruiser
Galilee, thanking him for rescuing the
five abandoned sailors; he received hun
dreds of letters and kilograms addressed
Jacques l., Emperor of Sahara" and
he announces his intention to initiate
Andrew Carnegie, giving large sum
to the arbitration court, which he wish
es to pass on the legitimacy of his claim
to the new empire. Lebaudy's plan for
religious instruction may displease Pre-
mier Com5es, for 25 brothers of the
Christian Doctrine order and 18 daugh-
ters of the Holy Ghost will attend to
the religious education of the settlers;
also IA missionaries have been engaged
for the capital, Troja, which is still un-
built. The throne for the Inauguration
has been ordered from a Paris uphol-
sterer, and Lebaudy's official paper is
inscribed Empire of Sahara, liberty of
conscience, force, work, manufacture,
commerce, agriculture, labor" "
Lebsudy has summoned II men,
whom he calls ministers Of state" to
Glion, Switzerland, for reconsultation
relative to his plans; he has secured a
quota of coIonists and is now prepar-
ing for a second waiting list. He is ar
ranging for an army of 100 men, COM
manded by lieutenant general, who
will draw a salary equal to that of the
commander of any army corps in
France. The first settlers start on No

Lebaudy will soon visit England to
buy printing outfit and adjustable
houses; he will next issue proclama-
tion to the powers. In the meantime
the French press calls on the govern
ment to take action against Lebaudy,

heather sages had the opportunity to
read the messianic prophecies of Isaiah
and other prophets. Strange to say,
these prophecies were corroborated by
similar ones from the heathen oracles.
At the time of Christ's birth the whole
civilized world was on tip-roe of ex-
pectation in the anticipation of the
birth of great deliverer. Jewish
prophets, heather oracIes, ancient
sages, all testified that such an one
would come to dwell on earth. There
can be no doubt that the three Magi
who went to visit Christ we're men
who sought to know the truth; and
truth was revealed to them.
1t has been asked why the star
should have had message for the
Magi and not for the shepherds watch
ing their hocks. Simply because the
Magi were astronomers and astrolo-
gers. They believed that every unusu-
al appearance in the heavens indicated
and fOreshadoWed some event about to
transpire on earth, and so they very
naturally journeyed toward the ex-
traOrdinary star. On the other hand,
the shepherds were Jews, thoroughly
versed in the history of their nation,
and therefore angelic messengers to
them were far more. comprehensive
than the star. A similar revelation
would probably have been received
with doubt and skepticism by the
Magi.
Tradition asserts that the Magi were
baptized in India by St. Thomas, and
in the fourth century the Empress
Helena had their relics carried to Con-
stantinople and inferred in the church
of st. Sophia. Later they were re-
moved to Milan. In the twelfth CEN
tury they were removed to the Cologne
cathedral, where they are encased in a
shrine of gold studded with gems. 1t
was long believed that any object
touched by the relics of the Magi could
counteract sorcery and prevent sud-
den death.
Countless legends, some very beauti-
full, others fantastic aud grotesque,
gather about the history of the Magi
:, The three wise men thread their way
through tradition, history and drama
Representations of them dating to the
second century are found in the cata-
combs at Rome, and in the centuries
that followed they were dream and
inspiration to many painters and poets
Among the most celebrated paintings
depicting them are those by Paul Yer.
onese in the National Gallery London
, by 1itan, in the Museum at Madrid
Rubens at Antwerp, and one by La
, Fargo in the Church of the Incarna
tion, New York. S. d.

Land Birds at Sea,

VIEW people living CnlS Tar Inland
X know that thousands of birds
are lost at sea each year. 1 have
seen them in great numbers off
the Atlantic coast, north of Cape Hat
teras. South of Hatteras they have
a chance to make the West Indies, but
north of the cape heavy northwest
rain squall blows them straight out to
sea. Many time have been caught
in an off-shore rain squall and, on
jumping to my station to take IN sail,
have been ASSAULTED, SO to speak, by
rain soaked, wind ruffied land birds.
They would hit us in the face, cling to
our clothing and be crushed under foot
on the deck when we rushed to get the
sail off. Sometimes, when the squall
was of short duration and one had
time to look around, the sea was literal
ly covered with small land birds, food
for dogfsh, kingfsh, bluefish, snapper
and shark.
When the squall caught us further
off shore we sometimes saw birds of
the crane family and hawks. They
would try to light on the spars of the
vessel to rest their weary wings. But
they too usually became food for the
fish.
There is another variety of bird that
sometimes goes to sea. 1t is called the
chicken and isstrictly the captains prop
erty. On board ship chickens are kept
cooped up most of the time, but on fine

Two Famous Archers.

A curious lawsuit regarding the own, ership of lands was tried recently in CeyIon. The trouble originated at an archery competition held by King Para krania Bahu VI, who ruled over Cey' lon in the fifteenth century, in which there were two champions who outdis- tanced all the rest and alike hit every mark that was submitted to them. The king was about to divide the prize when from a nelghboring pond frog was heard to crouk. The king seized upon a solution and declared that whichever could hit the frog, aiming only by ear, should gain the prize. One of the arch CTS transhxed the frog with the arrow. So delighted was the monarch that, be- sides the original prize, he gave to the winner an estate of 50,0OO acres. The claimants in the lawsuit were the de- scendants of the archer.

When the Fraser highlanders landed in North America In 17j7, 1t was pro posed to change the dress on account of the cold winters and hot summers. The officers successfully opposed this and were ultimately justified by the hlghlanders being the healthiest sol dlers in the army. In the campaign in Holland in 1794 some regiments lost as many as 800 from disease, but the Black Watch, which had 300 recruits in its ranks, had only twenty-five cas- ualties, including the killed in battle.

Retail and Cold Storage Meat
Market Business Blocked.
Ice Car Helpers Refuse to Han
die Ice for Packers Patrons.
WAGON DRIVERS UNION
VIII Not Handle Meat Turned
Down by Ice Men.
Packing House Teamsters Make
Out Black List.

Chicago, Aug. 9.-With an army OF
more than three hundred pickets, the
Ice Wagon Drivers and Helpers
union today established a blockade OF
the retail and cold storage meat mar
ket business of Chicago. The unions
determination to extend the strike to
the cold storage warehouses came as
a distinct surprise to the packers and
this was accentuated by the action of
the ice car helpers. who today declared
an intention not to handle ice for amy
dealer who patronizes the strike af-
fected packers.
Adding to the complication came a
declaration today from the business
agent of the Market Wagon Drivers
union that his men would have moth
ing to do with meat which the ice
wagon drivers refuse to ice.
Vice President Rath of the Packing
House Teamsters' union today gave
out a list of dealers to whom he de-
clared the union ice wagon drivers
would refuse to deliver ice.
Asserting that the stock yards
strike is as good as at an. end, Nelson
Morris, the packer, accompanied by
Mrs. Morris, started for New York to-
day, where tomorrow he expects to
board the liner Baltic for Europe to
be gone about three months.
