THE ALBATROSS.
The Largest Sea Bird Having the Pow.
or of Flight.
The albatross, that wanderer ot the
,seas. so often referred to in prose and
ipoem, is nevertheless a stranger to the
average person and by some is even
considered a myth. In Coleridge's
"The Rime of the Ancient Mariner"
the albatross plays a leading part. and
sone sorrows for the poor bird, which,
after following the ship for weeks, is
pitilessly shot down by a mariner.
The albatross is the largest sea bird
having the power of flight and is
closely allied to the gull. petrel and
Mother Carey's cbicken. It bas a
tremendous stretch of wing, averaging
'from ten to twelve feet. The wings
are. however, extremely narrow, being
about nine inches in breadth. The
body Is about four feet in length, and
the weight is from fifteen to eighteen
,pounds, a comparatively light weight
when one considers the extreme length
of wing; The albatross 1s possessed
of a peculiarly long, oddly shaped bill,
which gives it a strange appearance.
The nostrils open 'from round, hori-
zontal tubes on each side of the. bill,
but at ata base.
This great bird Is generally met with
in southern seas, although it is occa-
sioxally seen on our Pacific coast. On
the Atlantic side it is rarely found as
far north as Tampa bay.
Its food consists of cuttlefish, Jelly-
fish and scraps thrown from passing
ships. It is a greedy bird and at
times gorges itself to such an extent
that it is unable to rise •from the wa-
ter. .
Its power of flight is, however, the
.rnost remarkable thing about tate al.
batross. It spends its life. with the
exception of a few weeks given each
year to nesting. entirely at sea and 1s
on the wing practically all the time.
Furthermore, It does not progress by
dapping its wings, as most birds do,
but seems to soar at will, rarely if
over giving a stroke of the wing, seem-
4ng to need no impetus.—St. Nicholas.

FORFLETCHER'S
CASTORiA,
PAINTING THE WORLD.
Indian Legend of the Way Spring
Came into Existence.
'Once, long before there were men in
the world, all the earth was covered
with snow and ice.
White and frozen lay the rivers and
the seas; white and frozen lay the
plains. The mountains stood tall and
dead, like ghosts in white gowns.
There was no color except white in all
the world except in the sky, and it was
-almost black. At night the stars look -
.ed through it like angry eyes.
Then God sent -t-he. Spring. down tato
• 41be world—the Spring with red Ups and
curling yellow hair:
l:e his arms be bore sprays of apple
blossoms and the first bowers --crocus,
anemones and violets, red. -pink, blue,
'purple, violet and yellow.
The first animal to greet the Spring
was the white rabbit The Spring
dropped a red crocus on bis head, and
ever since then all white rabbits have
had red eyes.
Then the Spring dropped a blue vio-
let on a white bird. the first bird to
greet the Spring. and that is the way
tbe bluebird was made. Ever since
then it 1s the first bird to arrive when
the Spring comes down from heaven.
So the Spring went through the
world. Wherever he tossed the leaves
from bis fragrant burden the earth
became green. He tossed the blossoms
on the frozen seas, and the ice melted
and the fish became painted with all
the tint of his flowers. That is the
way the trout and the minnows and
the salmon became gaudy.
Only the high mountains would not
bow to the Spring. So their summits
remain white and dead. for they would
set the spring paint only the sides.
The snow owls and the white geese
•and the polar bears fled from the
:Spring, so they, too, remain white to
this day.
There is more Catarrh in this sec-
tion of the country than all other dis-
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur-
able. For a great ntany years doctors
pronounced it a local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies. and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local
reatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a con-
stitutional disease and therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment. Hall's
Catarrh Onre, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the mar-
ket. It is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops ton teaspoonful. oonf It

The Grasshopper Weather Vane Perch-
ed Atop Faneuil Hall.
Perched . on the cupola of Faneuil
hall is a grasshopper weather vane
which is not only one of the oldest
vanes in the country, but Is famous
as the product of one of ..America's.
earliest woodcargers and artisans,
Shem Drowne of Boston.
Drowne's shop was on Ann street in
the north end.
Of the many vanes he made only
three are now known to be in ex.
istence—the one on the Shepard Me-
morial church in Cambridge, which
formerly was on the steeple of the
New Brick church on Hanover street
in this city and known as the revenge
vane; the one in the collection of the
Massachusetts Historical society, a ret-
ie of the old Boston province house;
and the one on Faneuil' hall.
This grasshopper of copper, hammer-
ed out by hand, has large glassy eyes,
which In the sunlight shine like fire.
It was made in 1142 at the order of
Peter Ii'aneull when the hall, his gift
to the town, was nearing completion.
It .has not, however, lived a life of
unbroken peace, for several times it
has been near destruction. In 1755,
when Boston was Shaken by an earth-
quake; the vane felt to the ground, but
after being supplied with a new leg by
the son of the man who made it it was
replaced.
Five years later Faneuil hall was
seriously damaged by fire, but the
vane remained intact, and when the
hall was rebuilt the grasshopper was
once more given the place of honor.
Another disaster befell it when in
1889 a flag was being raised to cele-
brate
elebrate the anniversary of. the evacua-
tion o thethe British.

How it Carne
About.
Mrs. Scott -Raft Was Surprised at Gift
of Greek Theatre.
The story of the inception of the
scheme which resulted in the building
of the Margaret Eton School of Liter-
ature and Expression is of decided in.
terest, but' has rarely been told even
about the. hearth of the beautiful stu-
dio of, the school. Yet, it is no close
secret, and is worth knowing. It be-
gan at Muskoka, at the summer home
of the late Mr, Timothy Eaton, and
the time was the late weeks in Aug-
ust, 1905 Mrs. Scott Raff, then direc-
tor of the physical culture department
in connection with. Victoria College,
was a guest in the house. She had
long been discouraged at the
inade-
quateopportunities that offered to give
effect to the spirit of her eaching and
the need of a genuine temple dedicat-
ed to the cultivation of the ideas of
"sweetness and light."
'One day she was approached by
Mrs. Eaton, who questioned her, and
pressed her for a reply;
"You are not happy," she said,
"Why? Tell me why?"
"I am not happy," Mrs. Ralf 'ad.
mitted, "because I want what I can.
not have, a school."
"A school," exclaimed Mrs. Eaton,
then, and added, "That is not so dif-
ficult. I'l'l ask father."
• "Oh, but I want a school no one
on earth will ever give rue," said Mrs.
Raff, "I want a school like the Greek
Parthenon ---nothing else will do; a
school like the Greek Parthenon! No
one will ever give me that."
But Mrs,' Eaton was not so sure.
"I'll ask father," she repeated, con-
fidently,
The• following day in her morning
stroll in the depths of the forest; Mrs.
Raff was hailed by her host, who was
sitting alone on a stump.
"Rain" he called, using the name
as his mode of showing comradeship.
"Raff ! Come here; I want you.' And
then in an encouraging voice: "Mother
tells mo that you want a school?" ,
Mrs. Raff's heart beat high.
"Yes, Mr. Eaton," . she answered.
"But I want the impossible; a school
no one will ever give me. I want a
school like the Greek Parthenon."
There was a space of silence be-
tween the two.
Then the kind, quiet voice proceed-
ed: "If I give you such' a school as
you want, will you promise me to stay
with it—always?"
Another silence ensued, the mer-
chant prince watching the new young
priestess' of beauty as she wrestled
with the phantom of the future. Then
solemnly she replied: "I will stay."
Mr, Eaton became all business en-
ergy. .
"You are leaving for Owen Sound
to -morrow?"
"Yes."
"Go home by way. of Toronto. See
Chancello'r' Burwash and if he ap-
proves of your scheme, go ahead;.
choose you land, engage an architect,
on his advice got.your plans—you may
have your school."
T •
• • ' r - saw Mrs, .Raft
exploring the neighuorhood of Victoria
College with the chancellor, who warm-
ly endorsed.the project: They decided
on the present site of •the school be-
fore their. return. On the back of a
used envelope on the journiey from
Muskoka Mrs. Ruff had sketched her
dream, It _only . remained for Mr.
Meade to hear her ideas to give them
form. On Mrs.• Ruff's insistence, the
new school devoted to aesthetics was
named for her patroness, Margaret
Eaton, who still modestly disclaims
any merit for the outcome of "only
speaking to father." . .

The Right Hon. Sir' Robert Banns
'tyne Finley, who presented the Cana.
dian "case" in the fisheries matter to
the Arbitration Tribunal at The
Hague, . is considered one . of the
shrewdest practitioners at the British
Bar,. While not considered to. be an
eloquent orator, he has the art of pre-
senting his arguments, ' not merely
logically, but convincingly; and he
has a mind of a strongly developed
analytical type. He is a Scotsman by
birth and education, and speaks ,with
a distinct burr. He was intended for
the medical profession, and in fact
graduated in medicine at Edinburgh
University, . but shortly afterwards
took up the studyof law and was
called to the Bar in 1867; His father,
Dr, Wm, Finley, who was a distin-
guished medical practitioner in • Edin-
burgh, was said to be very much dis-
appointed when his son abandoned
his own. beloved .Profession for . the
•law; but the son'argued him into giv-
ing his consent to the change even-
tually ,
ven-tually, although he has admitted it
was one of .the most difficult cases he
ever had to plead. Sir Robert, who is
a Bencher of the Middle Temple, was
M.P. for Inverness from 1885 to 1892,
and again front 1895 to 1900. He was

Text of the Leeson, Matt. xxi, 33.46,
MerriO Verse*, a;, 45, 46—Golden Text,
Matt. xxi, 43—Commentary Pre-
pared by Rev. D. M. Stearns,
These parables of the last week of
His ministry must have been, in His
estimation. very important, closing, as
they did, His final appeals to the na-
tion. How mucti,do they mean to us?
That of the two sons is recorded only
by Matthew, These of our lesson are
found in Matthew, Mark and Luke..
In the vineyard parable of the last
chapter the topic was the laborers and
their wages, but here it is the ill treat-
ment of the servants and of the son.
himself by those who ought to have
rendered the fruits to the house-
holder. How often the words come to
us as we write these notes: "He was
in the world, and the world was made
by Him, and the world knew $1m not.
He came unto His own and His own
received Him not. -But as many as re-
ceived Him to them gave He the
right to become the sons et God" (John
1, 10-12), The world by its wisdom
knows not God (I Cor. 1, 21), Israel.
chosen and dealt with as no other na-
tion, mocked the messengers of God
and despised His •words and misused
His prophets until the wrath• of the
Lord arose against His peoote' till
there was no remedy (II Sam. vii. 23;
II Cbron, xxxvi, 16). How much
. worse will be the doom of those who
at the end of this age know not God
and obey not the gospel of our Lord
Jesus Christ (Il Thess, 1„ 7.9).
If you think of Israel as the vine-
yard of the Lord (Isa v, 1.7) consider
how He could have done more for her
than He did and endeavor 'to answer
the question, Wherefore brought it
fortb wild grapes? If yon think of the
church of today or of this age and of
our Lord's saying, "Herein is my Fa-
ther glorified, that ye bear much fruit"
(John rv, 8t, where is the much fruit,
the fruit unto God, the fruit unto holi-
ness, the fruit unto life eternal? (Rom.
vi, 22; vii; 4; John iv, 36,) Might He
not say of us, as He did of Israel, "An
empty vine bringing forth fruit unto
Himself?" (Hos. x, 1.) Last• of all He
sent unto them His Son (verse 37).
"God, who at sundry times and in
divers manners spake in lime past
unto the fathers by the prophets, bath
In these last days spoken unto us by
His Son" (Heb. i, 1-3). .The house of
Judah cast Him out and killed .Him.
Today many who profess to be His
friends are saying Be was born like
other -menailesita.not lteew a9_ICtuC _
as Some who are now alive, He dict
not suffer for our sins, He never rose
from the dead. He wrought no mira-
cles. He . will never come again, there
is no devil and no heli. Which are the
worst—those to whom He addressed
this parable or those who in our day
take Him away from us, and His word
and His salvation, and leave us nothing
but the reason and wisdom of men?
We shall learn from the lessons fol-
lowing some of the things He, will do
when . He comes again, but here He
tells -us how Be was about to deal with
Israel as a nation. As before the cap-
tivity in Babylon Hegave them forty
years, during which He pleaded with
themrby Jeremiah . the prophet, 'so' at
the time of our lesson there were
scaree.torty_,.yearssbefore them until
Jerusalem should be destroyed and -the:
nation scattered, never to beta dation"''
again , during this age. . But as we
have watched' tbe Zionist movement
of the past ten years and this very
year (1910) see the possibility of
Mesopotamia being occupied by the
Jews and Babylon being restored as a-
cpmmercial center and remember such
words as these—"He that scattered
Israel will gather himand keep bini
asa shepherd doth his hock.;' "They
shall call Jerusalem the throne of the
Lord, and all the nations shall be
gathered unto it, to the name of the
Lord to Jerusalem" (Jer. xxxi, 10; ill,
17) -we cannot but ask, Where are
we in the working out of His' purpose,
and how near may we possibly be to
the end of this evil age? His, ques-•
Um to them ought to be a heart t)ues-'
tion for us, "Did ye never read in the
Scriptures?" (Verse 42.) And it should°
set us searching in this connection the
wonderful story of ."The. Stone of
Israel" from Gen. xlix, 24, on through
Ps. ex -vile 22, with its other N. T.
references besides the one in . our les-
son, such as Acts iv, 11; Illph, ii, 20;
1 Pet. 11, 4, 7. Thep Isa viii, 14; xxvill,
16, and on to the stone .of Dan. ii, 34,
35, 44, 45, when He will come in His
glory break in pieces the nations and
set up His kingdom, which will 011all
the earth with His glory,
For the benefit of those whe have
not a Scofield Bible I will quote his
note on verse 44 of,our lesson: "Christ
as the 'Stone' is revealed in a three-
fold way -first, to Israel, Christ, com-
ing not as a splendid tnonarch, but in
theform of a servant, is a stumbling
stone' and. rock of offense (tea vili, 14,
15; hon,. IS, 32, 33; I Cor. 1, 23; I Pet.
11. 8); second, to the church Christ is
the foundation stone and the bend of
the corner (I Cor. 111. 11; Eph. II, 20-22;
IPet 11,4 5), third,. to
the gentilele
rBeto the sniffing
world powers II is be g
stone of destruction (Dan. ti, 34).
Israel stumbled over Christ; the
church is built upon Christ; gentile
world dominion will ' be broken by
Christ." There was some phase of the
kingdom taken from Israel and' given
to o nation bringing forth the. fruits
thereof. I Pet. it, 9,' bas n bearing
upon it, bet in duct -tine we shall see.
