THE COLOR OF BIRDS, t nr b a aw tha r . - Ih. Sauencana, who high reputa tion hmoDg th phjsolocical societies of the world glTeo great weight to his conclusions, hu lately made a series of investigations into the effect that cay enne pepper lu upon birds,' fowls, ' pigeons, and other species of the feath l wed family. These Investigations were .undertaken In connection with the ob ' served fact that canaries fed with cay enne pepper acquired a ruddy plumage this diet was found only to produce the iffect stated upon young birds when iren to them belor they moulted. The xilor of the feathers of the old birds vas not affected at all. although a con- Iderable amount of the pepper was , jvea at different times, extending .' er aa interval of several weeka ," nisture was found to facilitate the , uxng of color to a ruddy hue, which 1 aa again discharged under the influ- ce of sanlight or of a cold, dry at osphere. The whole of the pepper is t required to produoe the change, a rtion of it being quite inactive, aa example the piperin and several ex stives; similarly the red coloring iter alone had no effect on the color the feathers. It is rather the trio - v which oecurs la the pepper in fe quantities, together with tha racteristia pigment, which brings at the change of color by holding red pigment of the pepper in solu- Glycerine may be used instead T '-- bring about the same re- , .tement holds good with eediog of birds with ani :e red pigment of the tored up in the erg yelk , the feathers.

They wished to give j more solemnity to the church c and to revive what they had not " . . practice in penal days. They get for incense and finally fell n the rosin filling of a plated Uostlck. e odoriferous gum that goes by the me of incense or gum olibanvm, is a sinoas gum produced by the Batwtlia rrat- or tkriftra, a tall tree growing a the mountainous parts of India and selcmging to the Terebinth family. The leaves, which grow at the end of the branches, are in ten pairs, oblong, al ternate, pubescent. The flowers are small 4 fr-; a-i i eiustf-s smaller than i. Each flower has five petals ' stamens. The seed-case is 'dad and has three divisions, containing three seeds. The resin- tuid that exudes from the trunk And hardens rapidly is the incense. It forms ia hard, semi-transparent, red dish or yellow kh drops, about the size of a pea. Incisions are made in the trunk to increase the flow.

The 30.000 Christian nations of the Friendly Islands give $15,000 a year for religious objects. Hawaii, one of the Sandwich is lands, is said to have a Christian con gregation of 4.500 members. On the diffusion of education among the people rests the preservation and perpetuation of our free institutions. Father O Connor, the converted priest is said to have led 800 Catholics into Frotestantism in five years in New York City. In the city of Omaha, Xeb., there are over twenty Societies of Christian Endeavor, and the number is constant ly growing. The latest educational report Is sued in Russia shows that oniy about one-tenth of the chiidrea in the Empire attend school. A new Illinois law provides that no person who can not read and write the English lang utre shall be eiig.ble for the office of school-director. The American Baptist Education Society is now an incorporated body under the laws of the State of New York. The charter was drawn by IX-. IL L. Morehouse and Secretary Gate. The Buddhists have established a missionary magazine in Kyoto. It is published in English, and its object is to recommend Buddhism to all the world for adoption in the place of Christianity. It is calculated that out of 5.000. 000 converts in all the foreign mission fields, 33,000 have gone as missionaries, being one out of every hundred, while Protestant Christendom has sent forth but one out of every 500. Religious jealousy in India between Hindoos and Mohammedans is said to be fit to involve the entire country in war the moment the Brit'sh authority should be withdrawn. Lately a Mus sulman procession to celebrate a con vert was attacked with great fury, and some fatalities' was the result In regard to popular education In France statistics show that thi compe tition between municipal or secular and Catholic or monastic schools has had the effect of sensibly increasing the aggregate attendance. In 182 there were 5,341.000 children at the elemen tary school In 1&87 there ere 5.526, 000. The private lay schools, however, have 43.000 pupils less than in 182, wbiie the private Catholic schools have 143,000 pupils more. According to recent statistics there are in Cuba "20 public and 537 private schools, with an average attendance of 40,352 children of both sexes. The an nual cost of maintainintr the public schools is I5G0.22S. which amount is furnished by the 135 municipalities on the island. The proportion of schools to inhabitants is one to every 1.205. and one child attends school for every thirty-eight inhabitants. WIT AND "VISDOM.
