It is impossible for one who has seek only the sonimon mute swans fidlting about . in the artiecial lakes of eity parks to imagine the grandeur of a Bock of the great whistlere, in their wild state. In "Wild Life and the Ca.mera," Mr, A, R. Dugmore says the sight is one of the rao,,t imures<ve in nature. As the huge birds rise into the air it -seems as if an aerial regatta were being sailed overhead, the swans, each with a wing spread of six or seven feet, moving . like yachts under full sail. Once the swans are fairly under way their speed is amazing, nearly a hundred miles an hour, and that, too, with no apparent effort. for the slow wing motion is very deceiving. The eel -dunce is as surprising their rPeel, for ihe37 a.re, said lo irs.vel thousand miles without alighting. The Rocks are usually led by an old and experienced swan, and It is said that as one becomes tired of leading, or it might be called aerial trail break- ing, his place is taken by another whose strength is equal to the task, and so they continue until they reach their destination, the southern feeding grounds of the winter, or the northern breeding places of the summer. Oc- casionally they stop to rest in the re- gion of the Great Lakes. Not many years ago, while on their way north, a large number stopped above Niagara Falls, and more than a hundred were, by some extraordinary mischance, carried over the falls and killed in the surging waters. Whether the swans prepare in any special way for their southward journ- ey is not known; but before starting north they indulge in the curious hab- it known as "ballasting," that is to say, they eat great quantities of sand, for what purpose no one knows. In the far -away Arctic Ocea.n is their breeding place, and it is believed that .hey mate for life. As with so many sf the water birds, the swans protect their eggs with. a covering of down scratched from their own breasts, so that when the birds leave the nest, the two to six large, yellowish eggs are hidden from the eyes of possible thieves, and protected against sudden changes of temperature. It is many years before the swans are clothed in the feathers of immacu- late whiteness that make them such conspicumis objects of beauty. Not, indeed, until the fifth year does all traces of gray disappear. The first feathers are entirely gray; gradually they lighten, becoming mottled with white, the neck and head remaining gray until after the body is completely white. urse--Why, 33obby, you selfish little boy.

By no means the least interesting thing about the war is the part that animals are playing in it. The lat- est tale is of a goat -not one of the regimental ones whose presence at the front has led to endless jokes about "butts" for the riflemen, but a stray white nanny with a long beard that came one night right up to the trenches in -which a French regiment was squatting. A soldier gave it a piece of biscuit and the animal jumped in beside him. For a while it lived with the men, one of whom christened the animal "The Matron" because it reminded him of a, nurse he had known -'t was so thin, so refined in manner and so gentle. Nanny, however, could chew to- bacco like any American country hotel chair -warmer. She had a healthy appetite, too, for bread, po- tatoes and carrots, but she more than paid for her keep, for, every day, she yielded a, generous quan- tity of delicious creamy milk. But she was fond of her liberty, and one day, as she was returning to the trenches she fell a victim to a, Ger- man bullet. The Frenchmen were greatly en- raged, and, at night, when the "Bosches" stole out with the object of seizing "The Matron's" body, they got a warm reception. The Frenchmen sprang ab them like tigers, and, before they could beat a, retreat, a dozen Germans bit the dust. Nanny was taken back to the French trenches and solemnly in- terred. some distance from the front. .14 CON UNDRU MS. Why are tall people the. laziestl -Because they are always the long- est in bed.

THE QUEEN'S VOICE. Teacher Gave His Frank Opinion as to Its Quality. In her youth, Queen Elizabeth of Rourmania spent much time Oil the training of her voice, and, encour- aged by flatterers,°Bane to believe herself to be a singer of unusual talent. .At length she decided to have her voice tried by some great teacher. So she went one day, dressed very simply, and without the usual retinue of servants to see Professor Dumanoie of Bucharest, and urged him to give his frank opinion on the quality of her voice, and her future prospects. He test- ed her voice with great care, first with the simple scales, 'then with a, song, and lastly .with an operatic aria. .• • When the trial -was over, the pro- fessor paid, 'cannot tay that .yoti ba,ve a wonderful voice*.

Value of the Woodpeeker la Kilhing Insects. • When you walk along a country road at the edge of a piece of woods, •and come to a wild apple tree or a decaying .stump from which top and branches have fallen, you will often see a round hole in it halfway up its length, or under a big limb. Any youngster will tell you at once that it is a woodpecker's nest. It is woodpecker work, no doubt, but is it now, or was it ever, the home of a pair of woodpeckers? its size will give you a fair hint of whether it was made by the big logeock, by a, flicker or a redhead, or by one of the smaller kinds, like the downy or the hairy woodpecker. He is a little checkered follow, with a broad white stripe down his back and a red cap, and he is a constent visitor toour orchards. He has beenscalled an "inspector of apple trees," for he cleans the fruit treea. of borers and other injurious Insect pests. But a woodpecker's hole is not neeessarilyA nest. The woodpecker digs holes for other purposes. Some- times he has to cut so deeply to get at a big grub that the hole looks like a house entry. The downy also carves out shallow holes near his real nest as shelters in which.to, spend stormy days and cold nights, for he is with us in winter as well INGENIOUS TREATMENT. Curing Digestive Troubles by the ' 'Use of the Magnet. ° Among the latest of the mechani- cal appliances to 'be harnessed to the work of human healing is the electro -magnet, which the physician is likely to find of great value in the treatment of certain bowel affec- tions that have hitherto been found very intractable, Dr. Payr, execs - ding to a St. Petersbarg medical journal, is the originator of the idea. -The .patient is required to take first a quantity of water in which much iron is suspended in fine par- ticles, The latter is thus carried'to every part of the digestive tract and COM be acted upon by the magnet at the will of the operting physi- cian. In a ease of stricture of the intestines, for instance, the iron gradually settles at or near the pbinb of obstruction. The same is true where there are adhesions, which have always given serious perplexity to the surgeon. The moment the magnet is. ap- plied,:ehe iron is of course attract- , , ed with considerable force, and pushing against the interior wall of the intestine, has a tendency to dis- tend it. The operator is able to di rect the "push" in the proper dii-ee- tion. The effect being to dilate the stricture or release the adhesion, Dr. Payr points out that, by means . of this simple 'mechanism, the intestines may be exereise,d will, thus. ,greatly strengthening theni and conducing to health said long life in the patient. He has found in his praetice that the whole digestive system is to be very mater- ially benefited by a, judicious appli- oatidn of this treatment and feels quite positive that in the eketre- magnet he has hit upon n most effi- cient aid in the treatment of the whole. keg list, of gastro-intestinal malaelioa. 1 INTERNATIONAL LESSON.

From Dan to Beer-sleet:a meant "all Israel." During the separation of the kingdom the phrase was "from Geba, to Beer-sheba (see 2 Kings 23. 8).
