The Migration of Birds.

The flight of itorkshM given trouble to the Germans and the Chinese, while the disappearance and reappearance of the swallows have caused untold trouble everywhere, aays the Popular Science Monthly. Learned bodies, like the French Academy and the Royal Society of London, have gravely asserted that, in the fall, swallows plunge into the mud of marshes and mill* ponds, become torpid, and hibernate like frogs and snakes. I have seen a list of nearly two hundred articles written all along from the middle of the . seventeenth centnry down to 1877, for the purpQse of proving or disproving the hibernation of swallows and other birds 1 And Dr. Cones says he can lay his hands upon papers of that period which discuss the migration of swallows to the moon, the falling of the little quadrupeds called lemmings in showers from the clouds, and the origin of brant-geese from barnacles that grew on trees. Indeed, not a year ago I was assured by a gentleman of more than average intelligence that this lastis undoubtedly the correct theory as to the origin of the barnacle goose. And it was not a decade ago that I read, in one of the leading newspapers of this State, an article of ns < ur.ous character. Its purpose was to explain the sudden appearance in the fall of the black snowbirds and their as sudden disappearance in spring, and the explanation given was that our common sparrows change color in fall, becoming snowbirds, which they remain until spring, when they put on their other dress and become sparrows again. And I find that among the common people of the country there are many who have this belief. We have long known in a general way that the birds go southward to winter, and return to spend the summer at the north. But just where in the south do they go? Why do they go there? By what routes do they travel? At what rate of speed? Do they travel by night or by day, or both? What species migrate first, which last, and why? How are they guided in their course? What is the winter as well as the summer habitat of each particular species, when does it get there, and when does it leave the one for the other? In'what way and to what extent are their movements dependent upon or influenced by vegetable and meteorological phenomena?

The Butchery of Seals.

With regard to the cruelties so often spoken of in connection * with sealkiliing, nothing, Capt. Gray states, could exceed the atrocit es common some years ago, and the sight of the infant seals, often shockingly wounded, deprived of the mother seals which gave them their sustenance was piteous in the extreme. Since the close time was instituted, however, the young seals are old enough to be killed for their skins, and there are no such harrowing sights to be seen on the ice as was formerly the ease, because, in fact, young and old are slaughtered together—“every mortal thing, in short, is cleaned off the ice.” As soon as the ships have got into the center of a pack of seals all hands are sent over the ice at break of day, each armed with a butcher’s knife and steel, a seal-club, and what is known among the sailors as a “Lowrie tow”— a rope, about five fathoms long, so called from the name Lowrie (or Lawrence) —common among the Shetlanders. The men immediately scatter themselves over the ice and kill the first young seals they find, flench them, leaving the blubber adhering to the skins, and then, attaching them to the “Lowrie tow,” drag them to the ship. This goes on from (day to day, from daylight to dark, as long as there are any seals to kill. The ship is then put into as snug quarters as she can get among the ice, and all hands are employed from morning to night separating the blubber from the skin. The skins are salted away by them selves and the blubber is put into the ship’s tanks and sealed up for the voyagfi, to be boiled into oil on reaching home. Since steam was introduced, however, a vessel can follow the seals and go as fast as they do. The seals, in fact, are allowed no rest on the ice, and so hard have ’ they been persecuted that they have changed their dispositions and will hardly take the ice at all. “We will see them sometimes standing up on the ic3 like men, looking at the ships coming up, when we require a powerful telescope to see them. Twenty years ago it was no uncommon thing for the seven harpoouers belonging to a ship to shoot 1,000 old seals in a single day; now it is a very rare thing indeed for a ship to get 1,000 in a whole season.”— Pall Mall Gazette.

The Physical Training of Girls.

It is not uncommon for members of the medical profession to inveigh against the world-wide neglect of the important elements of amusement and physical training in girls’ schools. That so Tittle has been accomplished in the direction of correcting the evil is probably to be attributed to the fact that those who have treated of the subject publicly have for the most part contented themselves with portraying and condemning the existing state of things, and have made very few definite or practical proposals for remedying ~itr~'37striking excepfloins to be found in an address lately read before the Gloucestershire branch of the Brit sh Medical Association by Dr. Hynor W. Batten, senior physician to the Gloucester Infirmary. The speaker did not restrict himself to tracing the increased prevalance of amemia and the like largely terthe neglect of girls’ physical education, but outlined what seems to be a very practicable and attractive scheme for providing school girls with a due amount of open air exercise having the character not of a perfunctory routine, but of wholesome and invigorating sport. He would have at least two half holidays a week devoted to games played in a large open space, and, in the absence of special reasons to the contrary, every girl required to take part and to wear a suitable costume. He properly lays stress on the need of varying the games, and justifies the requirement by calling attention to the lack of symmetrical developments' "in the devotees of any one form of ex-

excise, specifying “the contracted chest and stoop of a mere cyclist." Among the exercises that he would have practiced are swimming, fencing, cri -ket, foot-ball, fives and tennis, and such games of speed and endurance as prisoners’ base, cross-touch, etc. Dr. Batten thinks that the governing bodies of the higher schools should first be led to move in the matter, and he urges that it is the duty of medical men to seek by all means to influence them to do so.— -New York Medical Journal.

An Excess of Politeness.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia Re ord tells how a polite physician says good-afternoon to a Mexican senora who thinks she is ill enough to have his professional advice. Here is the dialogue: “Madam! (this by the bedside) I am at your service.” “Mil gracias, Senor Doctor.” “Madame! (this at the foot of the bed) know me for your most humble servant.” “(food-morning, Senor Doctor, amigo mio.” “Madame! (here he stoops besides table) I kiss your feet." “Senor Doctor, I kiss your hand.” “Madame! (this near the door) my poor house and all in it, myself, though useless, and all that I have are yours.” “Mil gracias, Senor Doctor.” He turns around and opens the door, again turning as he does so, saying, “Adios, madame! Your most humble servant.” “Adios, Doctor, amigo mio,” He goes out, partly closes the door, but reopens it to put in his head and fire a parting shot: “Adios, madame! at your service.”

She Was Right.

A teacher was endeavoring to find out the profic ency of her little friends in mental arithmetic, and took the following method of ascertaining what she desired to know: “Now, children,” she said, “suppose I have two squash pies and divide one of them into ten pieces and the other into 100 pieces, which would you rather have—a piece of the pie that was divided into ten pieces or of that cut into 100 pieces?” There was an absolute hush for a moment. and then a Lttle girl answered, timidly: “One of the 100 pieces.” “Why?” “Well, please, ma’am, I don’t like squash pie.”—Boston Budget.

Will Power.

“Do you know, young man,” he said, solemnly, “that the constant use of whisky destroys the will power?” “No, sir,” replied the youth, incredulously, “it increases the will power. I heard a man say last Sunday morning, as he found a side door locked, that he proposed to have a drink if he had to fry every saloon from Harlem Bridge to Sandy Hook. And he meant it, too. Talk about will power!”— New York Sun. ' . Every town of 709 or more inhabitants can support a local newspaper, and should have one. Full particulars re/ardiu" cost of material, how to run the paper, anamako money out of it, will be furni-ued any one who will take the trouble to communicate with Practical Printer, Box 407, Chicago, 111.

Correcting an Awkward Mistake.

An agent for a patent hay-loader called on a Dakota man and said: “I have a machine here that doesn’t amount to much, but it looks mighty slick. They tell ice that you are the leading citizen of the community, and if I can get your indorsement I think I can sell dozens of them, even if they don't amount to much. I’ll give you $2 to sign this paper saying it is a good thing. Will you do it?” “Sir, perhaps you weren’t aware that I am a member of the Legislature!” “I beg your pardon—no, sir, I wasn't. If that’s the Case I’ll make it two-fifty.” “All right. Give me the paper and fork over the money.”— Dakota Dell.

What Good the Mosquito Does.

A writer in the Springfield AepubU 'an claims to have found out the useful point of the mosquito. He says :“I found out the real mission of the pest by putting a lot of the wigglers into a hogshead of water and filling another hogshead, into which no wigglers were put. The second body of water soon became foul, while the- first remaiifed sweet, showing that our swamps would more often become sources ot disease were they not infested with mosquitoes.” A veteran, Mr. George Me Kona, Ashburnham, Mass., writes: ‘‘While suffering with c ronic rheumatism (result of Andersonville), I used St. Jacobs Oil, which gave immediate relief.” Sold by druggists and dealers. In his address at the dedication of the new Brooks Library building, at Brattleboro, Vt., Hon. Mellen Chamberlain, of the Boston Public Library, said that “before 1700 there was not in Massachusetts, so far as known, a copy of Shakspeare's or of Milton’s poems; and as late as 1720, whatever may have been in private hands, Harvard College Library lacked Addison, Atterbury, Boiingbroke, Dryden, Gay, Locke, Pope, Prior, Steele, Swift, and Young.” Against such a background one may effectively pamt the later progress of literary life in New England., at present in use, was adopted by Congress June 20, 1782. The device was submitted to Congress by Charles Thomson, then secretary of'that body, and was largely suggested by the eminent English anti]nary, Sir John P.riestwich, to John Adams. The motto “E Pluribus Unum” is said to have been suggested by its on* the title-page of the London Dntleman's Magazine. Habit is hard to overcome. IL yon take off the first letter it does not change it “a bit.” If rou take off another, Wii have a “bit” left. If yon tak e off another, the whole of “it” remains. If yon remove another, it fe not “t” totally used up; all of whi h goes to show that if you wish to be rid of a bad habit yon must throw it off altogether. \ r * * * * Rupture radically cured, also pile tumors and fiatnl®.

Clear the Way

Without loss bf time, whan the intestinal canal is blocked up by reason of constipation, chronic or temporary. It should bo borne iu mind that thia ailment ia prone to become luting and ob- > atinate, and breed other and worse complaints. Hostetter’s Htuiuacb Bitters is the precise rem-edy-to remove the obstruction effeotu-Uly, but without drenching or weakening the blockaded bowels, a consequence always to be apprehended from the use of violent la<at4ves, which are among ths meet pernicious of the cheap nostrums swallowed by the credulous and misinformed. The flat at experience, and of the* medical fraternity, sanctions the cl dma of this standard aperient Not only as a source of relief and permanent regularity to the bowels, liver, and stomach, but as a moans of remedying and preventing kidney and bladder troubles and fever and ague, it is without a peer.

Birds of Yesterday.

A number of large and interesting birds have become extinct within recent times. Of these the epiornis, of Madagascar, was probably the largest. Fossil fragments indicate that this creature was at least twelve feet in height, with a weight five or six times as great as that of the ostrich. Specimens of its eggs have been found, and measure nearly thirteen and a half inches in largest diameter by nine inches in smallest diameter, with a capacity of nearly eight quarts. The moa, or dinornis, of New Zealand, was also larger than any bird now living, its height having been ten or twelve feet. Its “drumstick” was thirty to thirty-two inches long, and its eggs so large that & hat would 'make a good egg-cup for them. The famous dodo, fifty-pound bird of Mauritius, was once well known to the Dutch, but has not been reported as seen during the last two hundred years. The solitaire is another exterminated bird of the same island. The great auk, of the North Sea, is supposed to have become extinct since 18i4. These are a few of the latest disappearances of the bird world; other large species are fast diminishing in numbers, and soon the Australian emu and New Zealand apteryx, for example, will have passed away also. Elizabeth Charlotte, the Duchess of Orleans, writing under the date of Dec. 5, 171- 1 , says: “The late King, monsieur the Dauphin, and the Due de Berri were terrible eaters. I have often seen the King eat four plates of different k nds of soup, a whole pheasant, a partridge, a dish of salad, two th ck slices of ham, mutton flavored with garlic, a plateful of pastry, and finish his repast with fruit and hardboiled eggs.”

A Sad Case of Poisoning

Is that of any man or woman afflicted with disease or derangement of the liver, resulting in poisonous acciirnulationa in the blood, scrofulous affections, sick headaches, and diseases of the kidneys, lungs or heart These troubles can bo cured only by going to the primary cause, and putting the liver in a healthy condition. To accomplish this result speedily and effectually nothing has proved it elf so efficacious as Dr. I’iercc’s. “Golden Medical Discovery,” which has never failed to do the work claimed for it, and never will. A lawn party is pleasant enough until it begins to lain. Then it becomes a forlorn party. What can be more disagreeable, more disgusting. than to sit in a room with a person who is troubled with catarrh, and has 10 keep coughing and clearing his on.her throat of the mucus which drops, jut .> persons are always to be pitied if they try to cure themselves and fai>. ‘But if they get Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy there need be no failure. It is odd that the wages of sin remain just the same as they were when the hours were shorter. The bowels may be regulated, and the stomach strengthened, with Ayer’s Tills. They are trying to suppress the whip factories on the ground that they deal in lickers. , Every one is perfectly satisfied who uses Buckingham’s Dye for the Whiskers. The-author of the saying that “you must always take-a man as you find him,” was a policeman.
