Magpies A magpie somewhat Intermediate between jays and crows and closely' related to both. It is the genus Pica, the species which art whereTer English Js spoken. In size! and coloration magpies resemble small crqws, while In many other respects they are more like the jays. Their most prominent external character Is the long, graduated tail, which fat sometimes longer than head and body together, and the outer feathers of which are scarcely half the length the middle pair. The best-known spe-i cles of the genus is the common mag-j pie of Europe (Pica pica).

She Meant Well Little Mary's eyesight was Inclined to be weak, and after an examination the doctor announced that ehe would have to wear glasses.

Ho would remain rooted to the spot until all his paper was exhausted and he could make no more boats. As It wns hla custom to take a book along with him on his walks, the fly-Jeavea of most of bis books were missing. To what lengths ho went to Indulge himself In this favorite pastime may be Judged from the story told concern- Ing the day ho found himself on the bank of the Serpentine without any paper, having exhausted his supply on the pond In Kensington gardens.

Modern Hymn Writers Fail to "Take Hold" Hymn writing, says the New York Evening Post, seems to have become a lost art. Down to tha early eighties practically all of our most beautiful and cherished hymns hod been composed and churchgoers were as familiar with their hymnal as "Gospel hymns Nos. 1, 2 and 8" as they were with the three R's or the catechism. With the Introduction of Jaez and bines Into our secular musical life composers of hymns, especially for evangelistic services, wrote somewhat In that manner.

Not unllka many of the'songs written for the moment, these soon lost favor. Tha old hymns, however, still retain their Inspiration and charm. Such authors as Fanny Crosby. Ira D. Sankey and others who wrote these "Immortals" will always be revered by those whom they have comforted.

Just as our song writers swing around the circle, we may again produce writers of sacred music who compose hymns similar to those of a half century 'igo.
