AN ERROK TO BE CORKECTED.

Six,—In a supplement to ihe third | reader of the series now used in our schoois, tuere is a short poem in the title of which the suihor indulge- in a jice.re not com. ing uoder the denomination of that us- ually sccorded to pocis. The poem is ad- dressed to the tongeparrow. Itis evi- dent that the white-throated sparrow has been mis*aken for the | the song eparrow and the note following shows that the compiler or editor has failen into the same error. The renderirg: | of the song into words, both in the poem and note, chow without a doubt that the white-throated sparrow is meant. Another rendering of this eparrow’s cog, aod one by which, in my opinion, it can “€ more Readily identified than py any other, w “O comé pty me, pity me, pity me.” It con- siste of two long notes followed by three shorterones thrice repeated. The song eparrow’s song consists of one high note

three times and a rapid rnn down the scale and back.” The sorg sparrow (Mdoapiga Fosciata) is the first to strive of our sovg birds. It gen- exally arrives early in April. The *pring migration is well advanced when ite soug heralds the arrival of the white- throated sparrow, the Keonedy bird or old Tom Peabody, for by these difiereat names thie bird (Conotrichia a/bicollis) is called. Its arrival occurs about the niddle of May. -

I would suggest that in future editions of this reader white-throated sparrow be eubstituted for song-sparrow. The author, I imagine, would not object, as | this would not detract from the beanty of the poem, bat would make it true to ecience as well ae nature.

A TENDERFOOT IN TEXAS. Shot With His Own “Gun,” Compeliled to | Drink, Arrested and Fined.

**Northern men were scarce in Texas in .879,"’ said the Chicago man, who was afterward a Texas ranger, ‘‘and not par- ticularly well liked by the native Texans, as they called themselves. When I left Chicago for Texas, Ihad provided myself with a formidable weapon in the form of @.22 caliber revolver, and had no doubt that I would be able to cope with the most

Noodthirsty adversaries. Arriving at my destination, 1 soon began te form ac- quaintances among the citizens of the city in which I had taken up my temporary residence.

‘Strolling into the palatial saloon known as the Glass Front one evening soon after my arrival, I met a number of cow boys and deputy sheriffs, and the con- versation drifted to the subject of guns, as shooting weapons are called in Texas. By the way, in Texas at the time I speak of the only persons legally entitled to car- ry weapons were sheriffs, marshals and their deputies and rangers, and every bad man who wanted to shé-t somebody would generally have influence enough to fev ap-

ted as a deputy of some kind or other. ¢ most ropu:l 2s portion of the popula- tien was therefore debarred from carrying weapons, Abd was therefore at the mercy of any licensed thug. As I sid before the subject of conversation Was £08, and with considerable pride I displayed my silver mounted and ivory handled pistol end asked for an opinion as to its merits. The gun was passed frora hand to hand, each grizzled deputy looking at it with the greatest curiosity. ***What do you call that, my son’”’

end of the bar.

*“*That is a revolver, my friend,’ I an- swered, ‘and one of tiie best makes in the country.’

‘* ‘But what do you do with it?’ he then asked.

** *T have never used it, sir,’ I answered, *but if necessary I have no doubt ! could defend myself and do some little execu- tion.’

““*T'll tell you what, my lad,’ said the representative of the law, ‘I'll stand up here and let you shoot at me all night for 4 bits a shot.’

** *T have no cause to shoot at you,’ said I, ‘and do nct care to get in any trouble.’

‘**You needn't be afraid, young feller,’ said the deputy. ‘No popgun like that is ever going to hurt me.’

‘**Give me back my revolver,’ said I, ‘and I will go.’

“*T think I'll try it anyway,’ said the desperado, and taking deliberate aim at ine he shot me through the arm with my own pistol. I fell against the bar, pale and terrified. Then the whole gang began to laugh. One of them bound up my arm with a handkerchief, and they insisted that 1 drink with them. As soon as 1 could escape from my tormentors I ha» tened back to the hotel and summoned a doctor. He pronouaced my injury only a slight flesb wound. The next day I was arrested by the deputy who had shot me, brought before a magistrate and fined $50 and costs for carrying a weapon. ’’—Louis- ville Dispatch.

A Bishop’s Prediction.

Bishop Butler, in a remarkaole scrmon preached in i741 before the house of lords, predicted that the then prevalent spirit of irreligion would thereafter produce politi- cal and social disorders similer to and quite as deplorable as those which had been produced by religious fanaticism in the pre: cding century.

The «vent very speedily proved the cor- rectness of this prediction.

John Knox, the reformer, would seem to have possessed in no ordinary degree the spirit of prediction and to have fore- told with accuracy not only certain re- marhable events of public importance, but also the ultimate fate of ccrtain individ- uals.

Thus, when condemned tothe galieys at Rochelle, he took his sentence with the greatest composure, merely remarking that in spite of it he would ‘‘within two or three years preach the gospel in St. Giles’, Edinburgh.’’ This prediction, most iinprobable of accomplishment at the time it was uttered, was afterward literally ful- filled.

Knox predicted with accuracy the deaths of Thomas Maitland and Kirkcaldy of Grange, and solemnly warned the re- gent, Murray, not to go to Linlithgow, as if he did so he would there meet his death. The regent disregarded the warning and did meet with the fate of which Knox had forewarned him.

Waller as an Orator.

‘*Ex-Governor Waller,”’ says the New Haven Register, ‘‘has the most remark- able faculty of memorizing his speeches as he writes them, and unless we are mis- taken never trusts himself to speak extem- poraneously. Some years ago, when he was governor, he had promised te deliver a short address at the Fairfield county agricultural fair. He had not had time to prepare it, so he wrote it out on scraps of paper between Hartford and Norwalk, where he was met by the committee. Nor had he time to read it over. We took occa-

| ter would be found in the cellar—that is,

example, a tree. On that principle you sought to keep clear of trees, just as you would keep clear of a hayrick. Similarly, if you are in a flat space—take a farmer's field—you should make yourself as little an objective as possible. If everything about is level, you yourself become the pro- jective point which may attract the light- ning. Therefore lie down flat on the ground, or, even better, get into a hole. ‘‘4 person who took shelter in a hole,” Campbell Swinton continued, ‘‘would be absolutely safe, I should think. Even if the lightning were to strike the ground near by its power would scatter so much that he would hardly be likely to come to harm. Then, if you are in a house while a thunderstorm is raging, the safest shel- |

far away from the objective parts of the building. For myself, I am rather skep- tical how many folks would care to crawi into a hole or plunge intoacellar. You ace. the risk to life and limb in England from lightning is very small indeed—so amall that the average man would run it rather than disturb himself.”’

‘*I suppose the idea which you have in- dicated to me explains the damage that factory chimneys and the chimneys of dwelling houses occasionally sustain from lightning?”

**Just so. They are points of attraction. Not only that, but there must be an addi- tional attraction in the column of warm air which rises fro:a a chimney when a Gre is burning beneath it. I once sawa chirancy struck by lightning, and smoke bad been issuing from it. There were various neighboring chimneys, but so far as I could make out none of them was active. The incidept occurred while I was sitting in the Wellington club, and the damaged chimncy belonged to a house oz the other side of Grosvenor crescent.’ — Lendecn Chronicle

FISH AS FOOD.

Easy of Digestion and a Wholesome Arti- cle of Diet.

It has been frequently stated that fish diet, by virtue of the phosphorus which it contains, is pre-eminently adapted to nour- ish the brain, and that those wLo subsist on it largely are distinguished for their brightness and intelicctuality. It is per- fectly true thata small percentage of phos- phorus enters into the composition of the healthy brain, and while it is also true that fish contains more or less phosphorus that may and probab!y does pass into the circulation it is yet to be proved cither by theory or by experience that a diet of fish ison the whole better adapted to supply the waste of the brain than a liberal vari- ety of other alimentary substances and especially of meats. Fish is easy of diges- tion and creates little vascular excitement and consequently forms a light and whole- some article of dict. Salt water fish are the best of any, as their flesh is more solid, more agreeable and healthy, less exposed to putrescence and less viscid. They pos- sess these excellent qualities when fresh. When salted, they have all the properties of salt fish and consequently its disadvan-

Those fish which have scales are in gen- eral the most easily digested and the best, and of alji these fish the fresh herring ap- pears to deserve the preference. The her- ring, codfish, turbot and flounder are per- baps the most digestible and best of fish. Salmon and mackerel, lobster and most other kinds of shellfish are more dificult of digestion. The mode of cooking fish is of considerable iinportance. Frying them in oil or lard is an objectionable process. In general the process of boiling is best adapted to render them wholesome. Stewed fish should be avoided by the dyspeptic Acid sauces and pickles render fish morc wholesome for the stomach, while butter Ras a tendency to prevent digestion, while spice and salt used in moderate quantities facilitate the digestive process. One of the best sauces that can be used with fish is lemon juice.—New York Ledger.

HIS TOUGHEST WALK. fhe Major Was Playing Treadmill on s Sprinting Glacier. :

We started out in the early inorning from the hotel, the major carrying a pair of field- glasses, a light overcoat, an umbrella and a book describing the glories of California. carrying a small hamper, and reore than oncefound myself ; wondering how my companion dared at- | tempt the trip.

‘*Pooh, pooh!"’ he said in answer to one of my questions concerning his ability to get through the performance creditably. ‘*Pooh, pooh, sir. I have scaled the Him- alayas and the mountains of the moon. [ ascended Popocatapet! and have crossed the Sahara on foot. Why, sir, I could run up a little hill like Tamalpais blindfolded and not even pause to wipe my forehead.”

We said no more «i the subject and finally reached Larkspur, where we began to make the ascent.

At the station the thermometer regis- tered 70 degrees, but by the time we had finished the first quar*cr of the ascent it seemed about a thousand.

Presently; we arrived at a point about half way up the mountain, and the major suddenly came toa ha't. He again waved his arms about and then sat down.

“It is too grest for speech,’’ he said, Inopping his b. ow.

‘*The incline?”’ I ventured.

‘*‘No, sir, the scenery,’’ he thundered, with punctuating puffs between cach word. *“*A little walk like this occasionally is what a man needs to keep him healthy, sir. I came of a race of walkers. The Blazems, sir, had tramped from England to India bad there been no water between the two places. Fork over some grub. It is 2 o clock.

“Yes, sir,"’ resumed the major, ‘this is easy walking to what I have done in my day. The hardest climb I ever had was en one of those Swiss glaciers. 1 was alone, for I always prefer to travel with- out guides. Asfar asthe eye could see there extended a mighty bed of ice as flat as a mirror and without a single object on it to relieve the monotony. After walking for three hours it dawned over me that I was making absolutely no progress, though at first Il was at aloss to understand the Treason.

‘*Happening, however, to stand still for one moment, I found that the glacier was slowly slipping from beneath my fect, and that, although I had been going through the motions of walking, in reality 1 had made no progress whatever. I therefore commenced walking in a direction at a right angle to the one I had been taking, and after a short while succecded in get- ting—not on terra firma, but on glacier firma again. But that was the toughest walk I cver had.”’

The major had no sooner finished his story than he gently dropped off to sleep, apparently with aclear conscience.—San Francisco Call,
