Wagner, of Boston, Mass. He sent nine oarrierpigeons to Lon- don by mail -steamer on October 9, 1886. Shortly after their arrival they commenced their long flight home across the _Atlantic Ocean. Up to January 10, 1887, three of theme birds had returned; one arrived in Boston direct from London, the second was recovered near New York City, and the third was found in the Allegheny Mountains in Pennsylvania.

It is un- fortunate that artiftehel coloring in imita- tion of .Nature'a hue in June dots not impart her Juno flavor. Hero is where the only chance for deception conies in. The color suggests the flamer, and. the popular notion that high flavor .goes with high color has some foundation m Nature, Herein proba- bly lies the secret of the popular preterence for high color. •The palate is in a meaerire eheeted through the eye. So, by common eminent, if not from popular demand, arta fide' coloring is practiced. But it need not deceive, and we presume no one is deceived. Yes, times have chtinged, remarks The Beaten Cougregationalist. There was Cot. ton Mether, who,. according to the ezsayist at the Boston ministers' meethig recently, preached ta his own installation a sermon lasting an hour and a half, having prefaced it with a prayer whose duration was anhour and equarter. There is a contrast, as the eulogist remarked, between such a record and the '15 or 30 apurte of petition "which aro somethries offered at a ptayer meeting nowadays:. She flot Him, For It Was Leap Year. A wild symphonic yell burst from the windowev—ohimneys and doors of a Jarvis St. residence last evening about ten o'clock. Aman who was cautiously letting himself slide down town to get a shave at the bar - bee's was so startled that he fell into a pud- dle of water. But his fright was nothing to that of Claude Jones, for it was he that uttered that shriek of anguish. As has been his wont during the last five years, he called last evening on Pauline. She welcomed him and bade him to draw up to the natural gipm and warm his feet. They talked. on iu the usual easy manner for an hour, when Paul- ine diew her chair up beside Claude's and dropped her head on his shoulder. The frightened young man could only gasp and spring away; but she followed him. "Pauline," he exclaimed, "are you mad ? What do yen mean ?" She fell on her knees at his feet, on a rug which represented a woolly dog playing with a sky-blue oat. " What do I mean ?" she exclaimed hoarse- ly, "I mean that I love you. I have waited long for your declaration. You have not made it. The time has come. Love me you must and shall. So saying the heroic girl clasped her lover in her arms. He wrenched himself away and rushed to the door. It was shut and locked. "Von cannot escape me," cried,his inexorable pursuer, "You are mine." Then it WU that Claude Jones' lips parted in one long wail of agony and he dropped supine on the floor while the girl gazed pitilessly into his eyes.

Reading should teacla a mau to think; it is too often relied on to save hint the trouble of thinking. "Reading maketh a full num," says Dud Bacon, but -where there is no out. flow fulness breeds ataghation. Many atu. dents are like a reservoir into :which a. little stream of water rune no faster titan it eva- porates. They are forever pumping in but never drawing out. The mind of a mature man should be a spring, not a pond. It is true, at has been said, that "too much readini leaves a man no time for and drawing all his life and never paint. thought." T e artist does not study colors e ught how to start and learns to point by painting. The mime does not spend a a lifetime in training hie eye and hand and accumulating muscle; he gets his tools and goes to work. That part of theintelleotnai workman's min - cation which comes from reading is to teach him how to use his tools --that is, his men- tal faculties. Reading wings his imagine - tion ; it tames his fancy; kit instructs his judgment; it arms his reason; it earlobes his memory. And when his mind is thee developed and. equipped it is as ready for its work as the blacksmith's arm is Inc its task when he gets strength and skill to wield the hammer. Too many students make ef the world a gymnasium instead of a workshop; they are forever getting strength, but never using it to any purpose except to try and get more. As la result) the professions are full of crammed •men but scant of thinkers. The true method is to make of reading a means, not an end. Dental Note. Smith --Teeth remind me of woraen. Jones—In what respect? Smith—Well, you see, in the first piece we suffer like the mischief getting them; and we feel bad when we lose them. Matthew Arnold says that the American funny men" are a national calamity. The renasintment of a commission by the Ontario Government to investigate the whole subject of the mineral wealth of the Pro- vinces and of the best means for its 'being utilized, is a step in the right direction. Perhaps this ought to have been done long ago. But better late than never. Hitherto the hindrances in the way have been many. One after another of thee has disappeared, and now no time ought to be lost. The thing needs to be pushed, and we hope that Mr. Mowat will " push " it.
