(Continued.)

Wild life, except is the elephant and rhinoceros, has not retreated far from the It abounds everywhere, and is settlements. amazingly quiet. The human kind may pass among it witheat startling it, for it has not yet learned to regard man as an onomy. One may examine at tolerably elon range the plumage and markings of a great variety of birds some of thein strikingly beautiful. They call, but have no song beyond a twitter attuned to the rustling of the foliage that shelters them. There are a dozen distinct species of the kingfisher, all gaily plumed, the white crane or paddy bird, green and gray pigeons, suipe, golden plover, rails, hornbills, andpipers, frigste birds, bank of various kinds, Java sparrows, and starlings. The goat-sucker, regarded by the natives as a bird of ill omen, man shut off a contract or a journey by a single note of warning., No native would dare be heedless of that admonition. A reassuring aste from the hornbill will set the native right again, bat without it the day and task in hand are finished, and there must be a renewal as fresh as if it were the beginning. It is the same practics that some of the trives in Mindanao follow, whether of not under the influence of the same birds. In the prevailing stillness of the wilds a waning note always sounds so distinctly that there is no mistaking it. What would happen to a native who scoffed at a gest-sacker and went ou about his business is not quite clear, except that among bis possitdo misfortunes might be a visit from the man-eating ghosts

who watch from the hills their chances to poance upon the wanton and reckless,

A native is a good guide for game or bird, for he knows all the forest life, from the gun bird, the hamming bird of the East, ethereal, sprightly, and sparkling with irrilescent has among the blossoms on which it feeds, to the giants of the woods and the tough-bided, cruel monsters of the streams. All the wild life knows the active and regards bim as part of itself, there to prey and be preyed upon when ocomion requires, but ordinarily harmless, Among the natives who settle down and have permanent abiding places, the birds and animala make themselves quite at home, nesting under the roof and finding shelter from sun and storia and at night within the enclosure of stills that support the floors. Wild life, indeed, is almost as free in the bungalows at the plantations. planter koops a mongoose as a protection against shakes of intrasive disposition. No one is surprised to be awakened in the night by civets in his room, arguing out their differences so like civilised wts as to make him homesick.

In the opening stages of the game play was very fast and an exciting match was soutiently looked for by the specta- tɩrs. The heavy defense of the Engineers stopped many likely-looking rashes. Walker and Nolan on the Dugineers left wing put in some splendid work, Brincing both speed and trickiness. When the game was for minutes gono Whitey cleared in first-class manuer in an attack at close quarters resulting from free kick. Soon afterwards the Engineers goal had an almost miraculous escape. Williams assisted by Pugh carried the ball right down the wing, outdistanced the whole field and shot hard when only a few yards from goal. But bis shot went right into Widdows's hands, and he cleared at the expense of a corner. The Engineers were not slow in rotaming the visit. The right wing got the ball well down the pitch And withs beautiful long slanting shot Hibs scored the first goal of the matol. In the text few succeeding minutes Widdows a charge was no sivonta.

PRINCE OF WALES AND LOAD SALEBURY AT THE GUILDK ALL.

Londen, 5th December. The dejeuner at the Guildhall, to-day, to the Prince and Princess of Wale was a brilliant function. The Frince of Wales made a long and statesmanlike speech. He reviewed the tour, which was of the despert interest and would have Insting memories. He emphasized the happy relations between the Motherland and the Colonies, the loyalty to the Crows and the attachment to the Empire. He alluded to the warmth and enthusiasm of the welcome extended by the Mauritions, who were gifted with the charming characteristics of Old France; to the gorgeous display of the natives of Ceylon and Malaya; and to the high qualities of the band. fal of our countrymen ander whom the natives lived in happy contentment. Lord Salisbury observed that the tear had proved that we Possess the support and approbation of one distant binson, which is infinitely more im- portant than the contempt and cousues of other nations.
