Undoubtedly Lee esteemed and ad.
mired Davis; but the expression OF
these feelings does not go beyond
kindly cordiality. Soon after the war
he writes to EARLY: "I have been

which is very charming in it's old

of his superior. 1t is only very rare

Tn5o;osy and Religion.

Theology is mans thought about
the cause of the world, the purpose
for which the world and himself
exist and his final destiny as a spir-
itual being. The "creeds," for in
stance, are theology, the statements
of human opinion in the above men
toned directions. Religion, on the
other hand, is sentiment or i'm
pulse or instinct of mans nature as
man, which feels instead of reasons
and which, instead of depending on
logic or speculation, falls back
wholly upon itself for its inspira-
tions. We are religious by nature,
while we have to be taught to be

LEGEND OF. THE PELICAN.
Born Of tho Peculiar Way the BIRD
Foods lte Young.

Perhaps the strangest of all leg
ends pertaining to birds is that of
the pelican, said to have been the
third bird to emerge from Noah's
ark. 1t still thrives as ancient a
type among birds as the badger is
among quadrupeds. The legend of
the pelican is, "The pelican turneth
her beak against her breast and
Herewith pierceth it till the blood
gusheth out, wherewith she nour-
isheth her young"
On examination the tradition cx-
plains itself The distinctive fea-
ture of the pelican is its enor.
nous bill, with the commensurate
pouch depending from the lower
mandible. SO great is the capacity
of this pouch and so considerable
its strength that the natives Of
many countries to this day convert
it into very serviceablc bag. The
upper mandiblc terminates in a
hook which curves over the lip of
the lower and is of reddish color.
The tint of the feathers is, in the
words of the poet, 'pearly white,
but ruby tinctured."
1t may be assumed, the above
facts being promised, that the two
or three eggs laid by the mother
bird have been hatchcd. Then the
parents begin to realize that the
cares of paternity arc heavy indeed.
The amount of food consumed by
the young pclicans is prodigious.
AS pelicans derive the whole of
their sustenancc from the water anil
feed almost exclusively on fish, the
use of their formidable fishing i'm
plements is apparent. Whether
they are wading or swimming, they
dredge and scoop out their prey
into the pouch, where it passes
through some amount of macera-
tion before being given to the
young,
At this point enters that curious
act to which the observers OF so
many ages have given an incorrect
Interpretation.
In order to eject tho contents of
the pouch the bird presses its bill
strongly and with kind of spas.
modic action against its breast, and
the pinkish hue Of its feathers, the
red tipped bill and often enough
the blood of its captured victims
combine to produce the effect that
gave birth to the legend.
This tradition seems to have
found crcdcncc throughout Chris
tendon, and the provcrbal '.'peli-
can in her picty" took root both as
a symbol and a phrase. BY de-
grecs the figure of the pclicaN feed
ing her young developed into a com
mon emblem of charity, the use of
which prevailed in southern Europe.
The figure is sometimes found
carved in wood or stone work Of an
cient English churches and is still
used as symbolic emblem Of char
ity. The pelican is often used, too.

NO LOVE LOST
BETWEEN ROYAL LADIES

The report comes from Spain that
there is no love lost between Queen
Victoria and the Dowager Queen
Christina. And this in addition to
the rumor, sometimes current that a
decided GOODNESS exists between King
Alfonso and Queen Victoria. The
dowager queen is said to have attrib-
uted to her English daughter in law
the indifferent attitude that the king
has assumed toward the vatican and
his growing disregard for her coun-
sci and advice. Altogether Victoria Is
said to be having quite an uncomfort-
able time of it, but as she is a wo-
man Of ideas, and decided ones at
that, clever and quick to speak her
mind, her English relatives have no
fear that she will be imposed upon
beyond endurance.

When a dog is reported lost or
strayed from any part of Manhattan,
the first place the humane society Of
ficers look for the canine is Battery
Park. If the animal is free to follow
his own bent, he is almost certain to
turn up there sooner or later. AL
most any day ownerless dogs may be
seen wandering about the public play
ground at the southern extremity of
Manhattan island. Now an expert on
dogology has come forward to explain
the phenomenon.
Just as humans retain some of the
instincts of savagery and barbarism,
so do dogs keep some of the instincts
of their wild ancestors" he said.
One of these is the migratory instinct
in nearly all animals that impels them
southwark, especially during the cold
er months. When a dog has no par
ticular destination in view, he always
starts south. This is true of nearly
all animals except humans who
throughout history have seemed to be
impelled to travel toward the west
