visions, they can easily supply the lack by
raid on the frogs and fishes in the marshes
about the city and along the river. One OF
the most common pictures here represents
stork returning to her nest, holding III her
beak writhing serpent that she has captur-
ed, and is now taking home to make choice
supper for her young.
SO they spend the summer in and about
they take their fight for Africa. For some
days before the exodus, they are seen making
preparations for the long journey, and when
at length they are ready, they follow an
appointed leader, and all depart on the same
day
They have a good many peculiar habits
which are worth a passing notice One
of these is that the same birds invariably
return to the same nests, where. year after
year, they rear their young, the brood of the
former year being driven away to mate ana
nest for themselves. Another is that of sleep.
ing while standing one foot, it is said
they always do.
For great many years The peonlr of
Europe regarded them with sort q &c re re-
ligious superstition, and it is even affirm
ed that some have gone so far rs % wor-
ship them. This does not seem strange, how
ever, when we remember that creatures even
lower in the scale than birds have been set
up as divnties by the people of many coun-
tries.
The storl: has always been regarded as hav-
ing very strong affection for its young, but
this may be doubted, for the people of Strass-
burg stoutly affirm that they kill them when
they find them not strong enough for their
long autumnal flight.
But, peculiar as they may be in some of
these respects the strangest thing about the
storks is that migratory instinct which they
possess in common with so many of the
feathered tribes. How do they know in far
away Africa that the sun is beginning to
melt away the SHOWS of Northern Europe?
What faculty is that which makes them all
so unanimous in taking their long flight in
September?
How is it that they can keep their course
with such unerring precision through night
and storm, when ships, provided with all the
appliances that the skill of man can divise,
so frequently lose their way? What enables
them to calculate so nicely that they can
return, year after year, to the same city, and
| to arrive there at about such time?
These things cannot be answered very sat
isfactorily. About all we can say is that the
Creator has gifted them with the ability to
live as they do. and when we have said this,
we may well allow our thoughts to take a
wider range, and consider how admirably
every creature has been provided with wisdom
sufficient to procure its food, and to insure it
probably pleasure in existence

storks did not 60 away, but Immediately set

Our engraving represents nest as it was
photographed from one OF the lower towers
of the cathedral.
AS / have intimated. the people OF the
city always treat them kindly, and he is
regarded as lucky mar, on whose cnim-
ney they choose to make their nest.
Boys and girls will remember that In the
old fable of The Fox and the Stork, it is
said
''The savory broth upon a plate by Reynard
was served up;
But Mistress Stork, with her long blll-she
could not get sup"
| think it must have been fable, truly,
for the storks of Strassburg are not so par
ticular about their food as to endanger their
necks by accepting an invitation to banquet
given by Master Fox. Instead of this, they
have an abundant supply at hand, They are
the great scavengers, of the city, picking, up
all sorts of refuse about the streets and in
the cutters. This is really valuable service,
and it may be one reason why the people are
so careful not to injure the birds or frighten
them away,
If, after all this, they fall short of pro-

vanced for the fight of the main body.
They are gladly welcomed by the people,
for their appearance indicates that the long,
cold winter is nearing its close.
They invariably build their nests on human mar
habitations, or on buildings Immediately con-
nected Herewith and in the larger number
of cases, | suppose on the tops of ehimneysj;

They are most numerous Just around the
velous stone spire rises to height Of five
hundred feet, and is landmark for many
miles around
1t is from this spre that one sees the
nests to the best advantage, and they are
as as any other feature connected with the
city. Indeed my guide showed me nest on
a part of the great cathedral itself.
He further explained to me that in the
terrible bombardment Of the city, By the
in 1870, many of the nests were injured by
the shot from the artillery, though the

you not know that the poor animal suffers
agony because bis head is checked so unnat-

his head awkwardly, the bit is hurting his
mouth, and that graceful curvature of reck

are now entirely lost. Why do you check him

She didn't know. She was not aware that
high checking was a source of pain to horses,
nor that it destroyed their natural beauty.

EA remark that the stork is white,
IgWPt long legged and long-billed bird,
49, belonging to the heron family.
l am not certain that they are
ever seen in America; but, as they are mi
gratory and very strong-winged, it may be
that they sometimes reach those far-distant
shores. But their home may be said to be In
Africa and Europe. In the former country
they spend their winters, while they pass
the summer and rear their young in the
& latter.
1t is a singular fact however, that in
Europe they are not often found outside of
the great Valley of the Rhine, and that, of
all places within even that limited territory,
they congregate in the greatest numbers at
Strassburg, in Germany. There may be special
reasons for this perhaps, in the surround
ings of this great town. and it is possible
that the friendly reception they have always
met with here makes them flock to this city
above all others.
Their arrival is usually during the month of
March, though they always send pioneer

Teddy sat down in the chair by

chaos of his brain into something
approaching order.

She made up her mind that when

snap her finger in his face and
tell him, in scalding, bitter words
that she loathed him, and sooner
than marry him she would die a
thousand deaths.

whats the matter? What's the
matter?'
Desperately concerned, Teddy
stood upon a chair, lifted Eva
down from the picture with the
huge gentleness of six foot
three man, placed her tenderly in
a chair, and knelt at her feet.
Her eyes were closed. He was
certain she was dying. Eva,
my little darling, open your eyes!
It's me, the man who loves you
more than all the world His
grammar became shaky, his
heart stone, his breathing cy-
clonic. Eva, my sweetheart,
my beloved, look at me, if only
for moment, and tell me before
you die that you will be my
wife"
OF course, with the change OF
position the cramp had gone and
Eva knew that those symptoms
were suares. She sat up coldly

the other is not, they invariably
talk of two things dress and

has waned. and the glow of the
fire fills the corners of the room
with dancing shadows, even
dress and servants are left, and
the conversation invariably turns
to the other great stock sub

from a deep dell of hot coal
which had been formed between
the bars. Thank YOU" she
said; and then added, for moth
ing"
Mrs. Clutton was one of those
long slight, tired women who al

never rufiled, never different,
who are able to hurry while APP
pearing to dawdle, to be exceed
ingly annoyed without the least
apparent effort, to laugh heartily
without making a sound. and TO
talk with great animation, with
out in any way disturbing the un-
dulating, velvety drawl with
which they are born.
"You might talk to me from
now till the middle of next week"
she said, and then you couldn
convince me that you are not
glad that he is here"
A laugh sprang across Eva's
face, to be instantly hunted away
by a sigh. MY dear Enid,
