into a contest to see which could stand
erect and hold his arms stretched out
full length at either side Of his body for
the longer time. One man had fed on
steaks and chops, sausage, ham, roast
beef, ETC.; the other ate heartily, but con-
fined himself to such foods as Quaker
Oats. rice. macaroni. etc. Which do you
think held out longer1
The first man lasted twenty-five min
utes. The Quaker Oats-macaroni-rice
chap concluded to stop after he had been
a it more than three hours.
There's more strength and economy in
eating lots of Quaker Oats than most
people imagine.
Every family should eat plentifully of
Quaker Oats at least once every day;
breakfast is the best time. 1t strengthens
you for the day.

Missino Wedding Ring.

The curious incident at the wedding
of Earl Poullett and Miss Storey OF
the ring falling on the ground and be-
ing for some time the subject of a
fruitless search suggests the query
as to what would have occurred If the
missing ring had not been found. In
such case any ring sent temporarily
for the purpose would have been an
effective substitute, and another we'd
ring ring could afterward have been
procured.
In one distinguished and historic
English family the same ring has been
used for several generations at the
marriage of it's members, for which
subsequently, ordinary weddings rings
are substituted.

Average Allowance for Sermon.
Dean LEROY, who has expressed the
opinion that ten minutes is long

vines of past centuries.
Thomas Hooker considered three
hours fair average allowance for a
sermon, though, on one occasion.
when he was ill, he let his congrega-
ton off more lightly. Pausing at the
end OF fifteen minutes, he rested a
while and then continued his homily
for two hours longer. Cranmer's
sermons were each a small book when
set up in type; and Baxter, Knox,
Bunyan and Calvin rarely reached

BIRDS ON MIGRATION.
Make Wide Circuits to Avoid Long
Over Sea Journeys.

The great autumnal exodus of birds
is nearly over. For weeks past 1t
has been going on, cuckoos, swifts,
fiycatchers and nightingales leading
the way, followed by swallows, mar
tins nightjars and score of others.
while the rear will be brought up IN
about fortnight's time by the ch1f
chaff, which is always the first to
come and the last to go.
One very curious feature in this
annual migration is the fact that the
birds never fly straight from this
country to their destination in Egypt
of Arabia. They follow a zigzag
course. First of all crossing the chan
mel at certain specified points, they
the great gathering of the feather
ed clans takes place. There the
vast host breaks up into four d.
visions, the first flying southwest
through France and Spain to the
Straits of Gibraltar; the second due
south to the Gulf of Genoa, and thence
across Corsica and Sardinia to Tunls;
the third little more to the east, so
as to pass down Italy and through
Sicily to Tripoli, while the fourth
goes southeast through Austria and
Greece, and so by way OF Crete TO
Alexandria Then, On reaching the
African coast, they all turn due east
and fly straight on till they reach
their winter hauntS.
The reason why the birds adopt
these strangely circuitous routes IS
simply that they hate crossing the
sea. and always prefer an overland
Journey, although it may be very
much longer. And their great idea is
to make the passage of both the Eng
lish Channel and the Mediterranean
Sea at the narrowest points. So they
willingly fly an extra thousand miles
or so by land, both in autumn and
again in spring, in order to avoid
fight of fifty or sixty miles across
the water. And nothing will turn
them from these old ancestral fly
lines which seems to date back to
the time when the Mediterranean was
a series of lakes and Britain was con-
nected with Denmark by means or
the Dogger Bank.

Any one who has had to wait any
considerable length of time in doc

medicine was ready to receive him
will appreciate an experience of Con-
gresham Francis w. Cushman OF
Washington state. 1t is said the con-
gresham some time ago had occa-
sion to visit one of the noted physi-
clans at the national capital and was
compelled for many weary minutes
to cool his heels in an anteroom.
Finally, his patience becaming ex-
hausted, he summoned an attendant,
to whom he said:
present my compliments to the
doctor and tell him if l am not adj
mitted in five minutes / shall get well
again.
The physician found it convenient
to admit Mr. Cushman at once.

DOGS KILL PAINTERS.
Result of Strange Contest at an india
Town

An unusual sight was witnessed in
Bhavnagar in the course of some ma

of his highness the Thakur Saheb
were let loose on two full grown pan
theirs.
About 5000 people assembled on
the madam to see the event. The ar
rival of his highness with the Mahar-
ina Saheba was the signal to com
mence the fight. when the cages
were opened the panthers slowly
crept out, but finding themselves
hemmed in by such large mass of
people they skunk back again and lay
apparently watching for chance to
pounce upon the nearest bystanders.
The dogs, however, on being let
loose at once attacked the panthers
in a body, speedily overwhelming and
killing them 1t said that the dogs
were previously doped with some sort
of snuff that deadened their scent.
