LONGEVITY of Birds.

In ancient days it was the general
belief that ravens lived longer than
any species of birds, and it was said
that their age frequently exceeded a
century. Recent studies of the sub
icct indicate that no authentic in
stance of raven surprising 70 years
of age is on record. But parrots have
been known to live 100 years. There
is also a record of a golden eagle
which died at Schonbrunn at the age
of lis; another was kept in the Tower
IF London for 90 years, while a third
died at Vienna aged 104 years. Geese
and swans are tenacious of life, and
extraordinary accounts exist of the
great age to which they have attained.
Button and other naturalists have cred
tied them with so and 100 years of
life.

As was pointed out when the Rus
sian movement into Poland first made
itself evident. II was necessary for
Russia completely to destroy the Of
fensive power OF the Austrian Galician
army before any strong movement
could be made into Germany. This
great battle has been the result.
The Russians have acted on the Of
fensive in a spirited manner all along
the line. They are in a very difficult
position. as they are fighting face to a

an enveloping movement of the Aus

France. l. miles southwest of ST.
Quentin, and almost on direct line
between that city and Paris, with a
population OF approximately $500. 1t
stands in a marshy district which lends
itself to market gardening. The cas-
tie OF Ham, which now serves as bar
racks. has frequently been used as a
state prison, both in ancient and mod
ern times. The list OF those who have
been imprisoned there includes Joan
OF Arc. Louis of Bourbon, the minis
ters OF Charles Y, Louis Napoleon and
Generals Cavaignac and Lamoriciere.
Louis Napoleon was there for six
years and at last effected his escape

miles west of Nancy and 90 miles
southeast of Reims. The town is
traversed through its length by the

and secure honorable peace between
this government and Mexico. The
foreign members of this tribunal, 1t
is true are referred to sometimes in
derision, as the A. B. G. mediators;
but such a reference springs from
either ignorance or prejudice. Two
members of that body represents the
government of Chile and Argentina
and are fitted by experience for the
great work they have so creditably
undertaken
On the top of the Andes mountains
more than fourteen thousand feet
above sea level, there stands a statue
called the Christ of the Andes" a
symbol of peace and unity among the
nations Of the world. A few years
ago Chile and Argentina were on the
verge of war. Each country was
reaching its very limits in prepara-
ton for the deadly conflict. They
both had their armies ready 10 march
and their ships ready to put out to
sea, when the better angels of their
national life persuaded them to pause
and to submit their differences to an
impartial tribunal. It's finding was so
satisfactory to both parties that war
was declared off and peace restored;
and the statue of the Christ of the
Andes was placed in its present posi-
ton in commemoratiOn of that peace.
The statue itself, standing on the top
of the mountain representing the
Christ with out-stretched hands bles-
sing the people of all the world was
cast from the bronze Of old cannon.
What had been an instrument of des-
truction was converted into a symbol
of love and a guarantee of universal
peace. On the base of this monument
is inscribed these words:
