Watercresses are now an important ar
ticle of commerce in Paris, where their
consumption has of late years increased
enormously. Formerly Paris depended
for its watercresses on crops gathered by
night from brooks and ponds by persons
who made it their business TO traverse the
country for some miles around the city in
search of them, and they we're, Is rule,

A wOODPECKER's hole is such very
convenient place for q nest, that many
other birds are glad to find one unoccu-
pied. Sometimes a pair of wrens will
watch the motions of the woodpeckers
while they are at work, until an unfin-
ished hole Is left unguarded, when they
will take possession Of it. As soon as the
lawful owners return, the thieves are
driven off; but they are so persistent and
troublesome that, although . woodpecker
Is larger and stronger than twenty wrens,
the owners sometimes abandon the place,
and make new nest. Still, the wrens
are not always allowed to keep the house
they have stolen, for the blue-birds are
equally covetous of it, and sometimes
fight fercely with the wrens in thei. at
tempts to gain possession of it. Occa-
sionally, both wrens and blue. birds are
driven away by the martins, for these
birds also prize woodpeckers' holes very
highly. The fierce battles between these
various birds over an abandoned hole are
very amusing, and often last several days:
for they all are very obstinate birds, and
as each one is determined mot to give up,
the matter is not very easily settled

On Thursday afternoons, being the ex.
ecutive ability of some charitable So
ciety that met on that day, stepped into
q somewhat crowded street-car, looking
neither to the right nor left, but straight
before her, in her usual manner.
Once seated, she distracted her pocket
book from her sachel and took from it the
inevitable five cents, when she became
aware of hand stretched out toward her
"a mans hand, q handsome hand, q
familiar hand. Her eyes rested on it an
instant and then travelled up the arm to
which it belonged until it met the face
half hidden by sl0uched, broad. brimmed
hat-of the conductor, Gift Cameron!
She demurely placed her fare in his
hand, and, as her enemies would have
said, the cast in her eye beams more imp
ish than ever.
"The day ?" said the conductor, in a
low, firm, business-like tone, not CLEAN
