Whiteiaw Reid on Lincoln,

I am only here to tell what this man
was and what he did-not to offer a
eulogy upon him. If one were needed,
what nobler eulogy could be uttered
than the simple statement that after
such a strain and such trials, with
final triumph plainly in sight. he Ut
tered those words and felt as he
spoke? You have rightly selected him
as the chief American maker of his
tory in the nineteenth century. The
world long ago chose another as our
chief maker of history for the eigh.
teenth century. Both were typical
products of your own race, as devel~
oped in new surroundings, in that con-
fiict with wild nature and wild men
which has subdued continent to the
highest uses of civilization Both were
human; neither was entirely exempt
from the weaknesses of humanity. But
whether for patient fortitude and final
success in war, or for wise leadership
of great people In peace, venture
to think George Washington and Abra-
ham Lincoln not inferior to any sons
of the race born in those centuries, un-
der any skies. Nay, more. venture
to think that in the whole long and
glorious history of that race while its
history was ours as we'll as yours, they
have never been surpassed From Ad.

The Size Of the Sea,

An officer of a liner once remarked
that most men seemed to be as ig-
norant about the size of the sea as
they are of the distance between the
heavenly planets. Here are few facts.
The Pacific covers 68,000,000 miles,
the Atlantic 50,000,000 and the Indian
ocean, Arctic and Antarctic $4,000, 900.
To stow away the contents of the Pa
cific it would be necessary to fill q
tank one mile long, one mile wide and
one mile deep every day for 440 years.
Put in figures the Pacific holds in
weight s4s,ooo, o0o, ooo, 900, 900, 900 tons.
The Atlantic averages depth of not
quite three miles. Its waters weigh
$4,000, 600, 0o0, 000, 000,000 tons, and q
tank to contain it would have each of
it's sides 430 miles long. The figures
of the other oceans are in the same
startling proportions. It would take
all the sea water in the world 2,000,-
900 years to flow over Niagara.-Tid-

Curious. Old Rule Recalled.


Most of Walthamstow is too modern
to have much mystery about it, but
the ''Walthamstow Strip" of Legion
preserves the memory of curious old
rule. Barely a hundred yards broad.
this strip of land, belonging to Walt
hamstow parish, ran right across Ley.
ton from the Lea to Snaresbrook.
parallel with the southern border of
Walthamstow., How came Legion to
be crossed by this allen strip? Ley
ton, it was said, had once refused to
bury body found in the Lea; Walt.
hamstow came forward to do it. And
in such cases 1t was the rule that the
volunteering parish might take from
the other. as much land right through
to the other side as the men who car.
ried the corpse could cover walking in
line. hand in hand and arms extend.

both parishes until the growth Of pop

For some years catalpa, mulberry

suffered considerable injury by the at
lacks of field mice. During the win

bark about the base of the
tree to a greater Or less degree,
which frequently results in complete

The amount of injury varies with the
severity of the winter, although sea

occurrence. During the winter OF
1909-10, characterized by deep SHOWS
and severe cold, ravages to an extent
heretofore unknown were reported
from all sections of the state.

Donald's flock Of about 500 hens had
developed a taste for fresh eggs to
such an extent that scarcely any eggs

The Longevity OF Birds.

It is not always easy to estimate the
duration of the life of bird. Posi-
bly, captivity shortens the birds life;
On the other hand, the wild bird does
not die of old age, but as the result
Of an accident, or at the hands of an
enemy
According to Naumann, the natural
list, the nightingale lives for eight or
nine years, the canary from twelve to
fifteen, and the blackbird twelve
years. It is fact that the vulture
was kept in cage in the geological
garden in Vienna for 118 years, and
that in the same garden was a falcon
one hundred and sixty-two years old.
Living In the same garden was en-
es.gle known to have lived for one
hundred and four years. The mean
age of eagles is 60 years, and Won
Humboldt saw in, South America a
parrot which spoke a language spoken
by people who had vanished from
the earth more than, one hundred
years before that time.
