The Holy Grail.

From a book reviewed, a passage
Is quoted in which mention is made
of 1.-The Holy Grail, the Sang-real or
true blood of God" This used to be
a common mistake, and so learned a
man as Thomas Warrior, in his RE
marks on Sponsors limitations From
Old Romances," writes: 1.-The holy
grale, that is the real blood of our
blessed Saviour" But this is wrong.
1t is the holy grale, or vessel, and
does not mean real blood. though it
contained the real blood, collected by
Joseph of Arimathea. 1t was made
from a diamond, or emerald, which
fell from the crown of Satan when he
fought with Michael. M. de Vile
marque, who has written about Ar
moric Legends, says that this jewel
was a diamond. The word greal is
old French, as I understand, for 1
have no knowledge myself that it is
So. In the legend of Percival it is
shown that the Grail is a vessel. The
Holy Grail" Percival heard whis-
pered by one voice after another.
Then from the shining vessel
streamed an endless supply Of the
costliest dishes and wines. NOTES

CALIFORNIA BROWN PELICAN.
Its Method of Fishing Attracts Atten-
ton at Southern Seaside Resorts.

The pelican, familiar to the visitor
at the seaside resorts Of Southern
California, is known as the California
brown pelican. His length is from
four to five feet, and his wings and
tail are of silver gray, streaked with
seal brown. 49,.
The breeding range of these inter,
esting birds is off the coast of Mexico
and Lower California. May and June
are the nesting months. Occasionally
they build their nests in low trees,
but ordinarily it is on the ground.
1t is a loosely constructed affair,
built of weed stalks and sticks and
lined with grass.
At the seaside the pelicans are
seen lazily flying through the air. 1t
is their fashion to fly n behind the
other. Each following the signal
from the leader, gives five or six
strokes, and then all o a in unison.
At feeding time their wont is to drive
the fish by a noisy beating Of the
wings to a point close in shore, when
the birds will dive from considerable
heights. This performance is quite
spectacular, as with closely folded
wings the bird drops as a ball head
foremost into the water. Under the
water they evidently turn a somer-
sault, as the bird invariably energies
head first.
The pouch or game bag of the pei
lean will hold ten or fifteen pounds Of
fish, and as the bird is provided with
no means Of defense, he is the victim
o. sure thing operators and confidence
workers in the form Of the predatory
gulls. Too lazy to dive for them
selves, these thieves will pursue and
attack the pelican, causing him to
dive as a matter of self-protection.
So closely are the pelicans pursued
by their more agile enemies that fin"l-
ly, half exhausted, they give up the
trophies of their chase. This they do
with a cynical smile as they see their
hard earned gain gobbled by the
gulls.-Los Angeles Times.

Honey in Short Supply.

Some industrious statistician has
estimated that the ordinary beehive
contains about 10000 bees. When
these bees are not on a strike and
make full time from sunrise to sun
set and work with a hearty good will,
they secure about 100 pounds of
honey per season, and in order to do
this they must take the honey from
some 800 100000 clover blossoms, as
it requires the honey from 100000
Of clover blossoms for each pound of
honey stored in the hive.
New York State is quite a large
honey producer, and the Grocers' Girl
ter.on, Of Chicago, recently in dis
cussing the honey crop of New York,
reports that but twenty pounds of
honey is expected from each hive.
With dry weather and a short clover
crop the bees seem to be kept busy
providing themselves with food, with
iout storing up the usual surplus that
constitutes the available supply for
the market.

"Wotcher wages?" asked the other

The Mantle.

The change and f1ux which mark
the universe have never been more
strikingly set forth than in the In.
spired words of the Epistle to the
Hebrews. The heavens and the
earth, says the writer, are to perish;
they all wax old like a garment, they
are rolled up as an abandoned a
tile, they are changed for something
else. These facts are incontestable'
The universe Is perishing-chang'

'caudescent mass, cooling" The moon

ming their career; many are complet'

own planet change is marked every
where. Seas are where land was;
land is where oceans were. An ice
age Is followed by a temperate n
In the world Of men, too, all change
Countries rise and fall. In N ago

, Contemplation of the passing order
has made many men pessimists. Bu'
to the apostle and to all Christians
such change and decay breed optt'
,mism, All creation Is conceived al
q garment of the living God, which
has its fashion for a time, and then
having fulfilled its purpose, IL
changed for another. God woVe tht
garment. He wears it; He VIII

is a triumphant note that Is struck;
"Thou remainest; Thou are tht
same: Thy years shall not fall" Tit
souls attention is fixed, not upol
the perishing garment, but upon tn'
unchanging wearer.
There is no chance about creation
Before it, God was; when the uni

hest of all, He is with us now. 1t II

'"Thou remainest." Whatever eise
