EAGLE sWiFTEsT OF BIRDS.

The eagle, according to aeronauts,
remains not merely the king of birds,
but in flying quality the swiftest of
all birds. A French flyer" from the
French naval station at Salonica, in
February, 1916, had match with an
eagle near Mount Olympus. The eagle
competed of his free will, says the
New York Herald.
II was followed by the eagle
writes Commander Larrowy, "at a dis.
lance of about 100 feet. Our machine
was making her full measure so nau-
teal miles an hour. In comparison
with us, the bird seemed so perfectly
at a standstill that | was able to pho
tograph it with an exposure of a half
second, as the sky was cloudy, and
the plate gave an absolutely neat re:
production.
For two minutes the bird prac.
tically did not move it's wings, and
seemed to glide, except every ten or
twelve seconds, when it made very
slight and careless sort Of rowing mo.
ton as if to keep fit.
When the bird abandoned all
thought of attacking its strange rival
it went full speed ahead, and, covering
much more than sixty miles an hour

ODD MINUTES.

Some young people have too many
odd minutes. Our day should be plan
ned so carefully that we shall not
have too much leisure on our hands.
The student who has four or five
hours day to fill in as he pleases, or
the worker whose evenings are all
free are not likely to make the best
use of their time. If we wait for the
inspiration of minute, we are very
likely to discover that we do not feel
like doing the things best worth while.
You mean to do some improving
reading in your odd minutes. But as
you sit down in the evening with the
newspaper at your elbow and a popu-
lar magazine with resplendent cover
lying in full view, it is quite easy to
decide that you will wait till tomor-
row before starting on History OF
Civilization" But if you have made
an arrangement with number OF
friends to meet once a week to dc
some solid reading, when the appoint
ed evening comes, you keep your en-
gagement and do the reading. You
get something accomplished.
We need variety. We need recrea
ton. But by planning for both, we
get better results than If it is all hit
or-miss. Most of us have too many
odd minutes, too many hours set apart
for nothing in particular.

GAS TIP CAME AS ACCIDENT.

While practically all inventions hav.
ing to do with the rendition of the es-
sential public utility services have ro-
mantle histories, none is more inter
esting than that of the gas tip, so
common in homes and factories where
there is gas illumination.
Thomas Murdoch, Scotchman, who
is generally referred to as 1.-The IA
Their of the gas industry" desired to
stop the flow of gas which was burn
ing from an open tube during one of
his experiments, more than 100 years
ago. To accomplish this, he clapped
thimble over the flame. The Thin
BILE had been pierced and the gas COM
ing through the hole in smaller vol
ume, was brought into contact with
a greater proportion of air at the
point of combustion. This incident is
said to have been responsible for the
origin of the gas tip"
Murdoch was queer young man,
addicted to wearing wooden hats. He
made lantern by fixing a tube in
the neck of gas-filled bladder. The
sight of him wandering around at
ight with the strange beacon filled
neighborhood with dismay and
: people suspected him of being in
re with Lucifer.

FIRST TO ILLUSTRATE BOOK.

Book illustrations are so common
nowadays, and the various processes
of reproducing pictures in print so
highly developed, that it seems almost
strange to contemplate the fact that
there was a time when the first illus.
trated book created veritable sensa-
ton
The event occurred in the year 70
B. C. Varro, rather mediocre writer
of ancient Rome, had been struggling
for recognition for a good many years
when he suddenly conceived the idea
of preparing volume containing the
biographies of 700 of his most famous
fellow-citizens.
History is silent on the rather in.
teresting question whether Varro
charged them for his services or not,
but 1t is loud in his praise as the
first writer who conceived the idea OF
illustrating his work with portraits.
They were crudely drawn, and as
to whether they were good likenesses
or not, will always remain an open
question. But they were illustrations
all the same, and after that the Gus,
tom of embellishing historical works
with drawings became a fad among
the writer's of those days.

!, GREEDY MAGGIE.

"While 1 am gone, you may eat
some of the cherries, that are in the
pantry" said mamma to Maggie, as
she left her for a short time alone,
while she went to visit a sick neigh
bor., Maggie went to the pantry, and
there was a large bowl, full of lus-
cious, ripe cherries. "I'll just eat a
few" said she to herself, and she did
so. enjoying them very much. But
the trouble was, she did not know
when to stop eating. "Just one more -
she would say, and then would eat
not one, but dozen more At last
there were only few left in the
bowl and she went back to her play,
but she could not be contented. She
returned to the pantry. II might as
well finish Them" she said, and ate
all that were left. Her mother was
very angry when she saw the empty
bowl. Il did not think I had such a
greedy little GIRL" she remarked
"They will make you SICK" and sure
enough, Maggie was soon very i'll

ton, both she and her mother longed
for the day when Eugene would come
home to celebrate his first Mass. II
his friends were joyfully waiting for
the great day, what longing must not
have dwelt in the soul of the young
candidate for the priesthood as the
days passed?
But his Joy was dimmed when one
day the sad news came that Anne was

death. The first letters she read when
able to sit up were messages from
Eugene. He had been much worried
over her illness. Thank God, her life

evident. Anne was losing her sight

ened by her illness, and the physi-
clan warned her that death might re-
suit at any moment.
1t grieved the kind, unselfish gil,
to reflect that she was now burden
to her poor mother, and her, own suf.
ferings were forgotten in her desire
to cheer and console her parent.
Mrs. Capp left the business to Mr.

devote herself to "the dear invalid
and so relieve Mrs. Linton. THAT
child has been the making of us and
I'm not the person to forget it, eli

Eugene's grief at the news of Anne's
affliction darkened the days preceding
his ordination, and Anne, too, was
heart-broken to think she would be
deprived of seeing Eugene celebrate
his first Mass.
But if Anne's life had always beer
a source of edification to others, now
more than ever did our heroine in

and resignation under her heavy af

he called her, the day before, and
fearing that the end was near, admin
istered the last Sacramento. To him,
she expressed desire to receive Holy
Communion from Father Eugene on
the day of his first Mass. Then her
never-failing thoughtfulness asserted
itself. Perhaps the young priest
would be too busy that morning. But
Father Harmon assured her that her
friend would be most happy to bring
her Holy Communion. He felt, as he
spoke, that If he did not come on the
morrow, it might be too late.
So now the bright dainty room was
all in readiness for the Guest who was
coming in the company of his newly
anointed one. Vases of flowers
breathed forth fragrant welcome, for
Anne had asked that the place be
adorned as lavishly as possible to
honor the Divine Visitor, and also be-
cause of the wonderful day of days.
AS was her custom when unable
to attend Mass, the sick girl follow
ed in spirit the action of the Divine
drama of the altar. Tears stole down
her cheeks as with all the fervor of
her pure soul she prayed for him who
was ascending for the first time the
sublime heights of the mountains Of
the Lord.
An auto stopping caused her heart
to throb painfully. She could hear
Father lannon's voice. Then another
sounded close by-clears familiar
tones, deep and tremulous with pro-
found feeling.
I've come, dear little sister Anne
She turned wistfully toward him,
her sightless eyes bright with burn
ing tears.

A strong hand held her fragile one,
then the same hand rested on her head
in priestly blessing. There followed
a low conversation for few minutes
The priest began the preparation for
administering Holy Communion.
Domino, non sum dignus!" Her
Savior, the Light of her darkened life
was coming. And that was Eugene's
voice. Eugene was priest!
She closed her eyes as the Sacred
Host rested on her tongue. Then
came the sensation Of drifting-drift
ing far out on dark waters. 1t seem
ed long time after that she heard
some one cry: she's gone! She's
gone!" Sobs filled the room. Hel

JEWISH FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS.

Hanukkah, the Feast of Dedication,
also called Feast of the Maccabees,"
is Jewish festival beginning on the
twenty-tifth day of Kislew (Decem-
ber) and continuing for eight days,
chiefly as festival of lights. 1t was
instituted by Judas Maccabeus, his
brothers, and the elders of the con-
gregation Of Israel. in the year 165
b. c., to be celebrated annually with
mirth and joy as memorial of the
dedication of the altar, or the puri
fication of the sanctuary. ~'<i /, F.
After having recovered the Holy
city and the Temple from the Greeks,
Judas ordered a new altar to be
built In the place of the one which had
been polluted by Antiochus Epiphanes,
who had caused pagan altar to be
set up in the Temple of Jerusalem
and sacrifices to be offered to his idol
When the fire had been kindled anew
upon the altar and the lamps of the
candlestick lit, the dedication of the
altar was celebrated for eight days
amid sacrifices and songs. ,.
In the Talmud, the festival is prin
cipally known as the Feast of ii
Elimination" and it was usual either
to display eight lamps on the frs
night of the festival, and reduce thu
number on each successive night, o.
to begin with one lamp the first night
increasing the number till the eight
night. The lights are supposed to b,
symbolical of the liberty obtained b,
the Jews on the day of which Hanuk
kah is the celebration.
