SEVERAL COMMON BIRDS

In the fields, SO laws were passed Of
fering "a bounty Of threepence dozer
for dead maize thieves" DIR. Benja
min Franklin Is quoted by Peter Kahn
Swedish naturalist, as saying that
the blackbirds were thus exterminat
ed. but as In the summer Of 1749 an
immense quantity Of worms appeared
in the meadows. which deyoured the
grass and did great damage. the peo
pie abated their enmity. for they had
observed that those birds lived chiefly
on these worms before the maize is
ripe. and consequently extirpated
them"
OF recent years the study Of the re
lationship Of birds to agriculture has
revealed many facts which are having
a decided influence in changing public
sentiment regarding many birds which
were formerly regarded as largely II
no: wholly detrimental. The most
marked example is probably in refer.
ence to the real value OF some species
OF hawks and owls on the farm. Many
people have recognized but little dis

THE FIRST SUNDAY SCHOOL.
humble Beginning In Gloucester One
Hundred Years Aao.

One Sunday morning, a hundred
years ago, a workingman, carefully
dressed In his best suit, came out OF
his house on the main street of the
old English town Of Gloucester and
strolled leisurely down the hill The
New Inn" was fronted then, as II is
to-day, by square garden overhung
by the carved galleries Of the tavern.
There was a moss-clad well in the cen
ter. and about 1t were beds of sweet
smelling pinks and columbines.
But the calm of that Sunday morn
ing was destroyed by crowd OF street
boys who fought over the flower beds,
making the day hideous with their
noise and coarse talk.
The printer-for printing was his
work on weekdays stopped in the
midst of the crowd and looked steadily
at the boys. Presently he said to him
self: AT this rate those boys will
soon go utterly to the bad. That must
not be! There are good possibilities
in them. Here. boys" he called aloud,
"come with mel"
He led them, yelling and pushing
down the street into his own quiet
house planning as he went how to.
keep them there.
81 am going" he said presently, ito
start school for you. Now and here.
1t shall be a free school; l will be the
teacher"
The boys received the news with
shouts. They we're too ragged and
grimy to go to church on Sundays. No
other decent place was open to them.
The next Sunday his house was
crowded with the same class of chill.
dren.
The idea of free school on Sunday
appealed to every Christian as a most
hopeful plan for the rescue of chill
dren from wickedness. 1t spread
through the town, through the shire,
through England. 1t was adopted in
France and Germany; it made its way
to Australia and to the United States
Now, in every country in the world
and in every sect there are these
schools in which every Sunday morn
ing the Bible story is told, without
money and without price
In the staid old city of Gloucester
they still show you the New Inn and
the garden where the boys played,
and the old brown house with its
peaked roof, in which Robert Raikes
that long-ago morning taught the first
Sunday school.

Reptiles That Walk Erect.

Lizards of several sorts can walk
and run easily on their hind legs. The
Australian water lizard, which is three
or four feet in length. keeps quite
erect when traversing long distances
on land. 1t is found in the neighbor-
hood of river banks and passes much
of its time in shallow water
The frilled lizard of Queensland also
travels on its hind legs on level ground.
keeping the frill folded when running.
When attacked it expands this fold of
skin, which stands out like a ruff at
right angles round the neck, giving 1t
a most formidable aspect, so that dogs
that attack and kill larger lizards will
often retreat before a frilled lizard at
bay.
There is also a tree lizard in Austria
liza that moves in a similar way. All
these species walk on all fours when
merely moving about or going short
distances.

The Pattern Man.

But the founder of the Christian re-
ligion is not to be the only man of
rock-like qualities. He was the sam
pie, the pattern man, and his disci-
pies are to be of the same material.
Founded on the rock of ages, his
church is to be built up Of the same
enduring grade of character, and
every individual member is a neces-
sary block in the superstrueture
What that church needs is not more
men, but more man. The church must
put on exhibition manhood patterned
after the ideal man. Men blasted out
of the same quarry, built on the same
foundation of the apostles and
prophets. Jesus Christ. Himself, being
the chief corner stone.
