A PIONEER TEACHER.

In the first half of the eighteenth
century a picturesque figure, Owen
O'Sullivan, from Ireland, landed at
Newburyport, at the age Of 81, and
began to "diffuse learning" as his
obituary declares, in the P1scataQua
region, sometimes on the one side OF
the river and sometimes on the other.
This he continued for sixty years.
He had taken the name of John Sui
Ivan. From him were descended John
Sullivan, President Of New Hampshire
from 1888 to 1889, and James Sulh-
van, Governor Of Massachusetts.
This descendant of four Irish count
esses and the ancient kings Of Kerry,

Hampshire" had abandoned the pater-
nal castle and paid his passage by
service on an emigrant vessel, for the
privilege of working out" with New

torian declares, "genteelly bred and lib
orally educated" he wrote a letter, IN
several different languages. to the Rev
Samuel Moody Of York, asking his
help In obtaining a better position. The
learned minister could not read all thu
languages, but he procured for sulli

OF Ancient Lineage.

DR.. Holmes says 1t Is better to be
self-made than not made at all, but, all
else being equal, he would choose the
man with the family portrait-gallery
10 the one with the 25-cent tintyps.
1t is truly comforting to feel that the
possibility of Inheritance lies on the
side of good breeding, and not on thai
of ignorance. 1t was with some suct
sentiment that the lady quoted in thu
San Francisco Chronicle made he
claim of ancestry.

Music in Birds Wings.

Birds are such masters Of the voice
that 1t seems as though they needed
no other means of expression. yet
many of them make other sounds by
means of their wings. As call to
their mates, turkeys scrape their wings
along the ground and In spring night
hawks make a strange booming sound
In the air with their wings.
When the breeding season begins the
male snipe commences calling for a
mate. These calls are always made
with the wing and consisting of a pip
Ing and clicking note often repeated
and accompanied at intervals by q
Ihumming or bleating noise not unlike
that of a goat. Whenever this sound
Is heard the bird Is diving from q
great height and going at tremendoui
speed, which gives trembling motor
to the wings, producing drummini
noise.
