known in that Strum: revival of religion that
resulted in churches still standing and in the
conversion of a large number of. men who
entered the Gospel ministry who have
brought their thousands into the kin om
of God. God’s plans are magni cont
beyond all comprehension. He molds us,
turns and directs us, and we know it not.
Thousands of years are to Him but. as the

An Interesting: Relic.
Eight years before Columbus discow
cred America an old Portuguese sailor
named Diego (‘ain went cruising down
the coast of “'cst Africa until he came to
a great river, on whose south bank hc set
up a big white stone and carved an in-
scription upon it celebrating its discov.
cry. It was the mighty Congo, and for
many years the famous l’edra Padrao
stood on the old sailor‘s achievement,
Years later, when all eyes were turned to
the new world, the Congo had been
almost forgotten, and when it next. at'
tmctcd notice the Pcdra Padrao had dis- .
appeared, The spot where it stood has
for centuries been known as Padrao
‘ Point. Three or four months ago Baron
von Schwcbin, the" Swedish traveler,
heard from some natives of a large fetich
stone hidden in the tall jungle grass at
some distance from the beach. It was
only after long palavcrs with the chief:
that he obtained permission to visit. the
revered object. He found to his delight
the veritable Pedra Padrao, its well-
known inscription only partly efl’accd.
The famousmonnment of a great discov-
ery will doubtless be treasured hereafter
as one of the most interesting relics of

Pigeon-Flying.
The chief home of pigeomflying in
Europe is Modcna, where it has been
popu M from time immemorial. It. in
managed in much the same way ruin
India. The dovccots at Modena are on
the roofs of the houses, and their owners,
when flying their pigeons. stand on a
little platform which surrounds them.
Pigcon‘ilying there is a regular game,
A skillful player train: his pigcorfs to fly
together in a troop, and, b whirling
round in circles, to confuse t 0 pigeons
of other players until one or two of them
get separated from their resrrective flight:
and lost among his. 110 then signals his
own pigeons to return, when they bring
the stray ‘ n with them. As the
sport is at present practiced, captives are
