The Tailor-Bird.

Within the last few years, the inter-
esting habits of this celebrated bird
have been thoroughly investigated and
described by DIR. Jerdon and others, but
with more especial fullness by Mr.. AL
Ian Hume. From their accounts, we
gather that the real nest is deep, soft
cup, inclosed in leaf or leaves, which
the bird sews together to form its recep-
tacle. This is at various elevations, Of
ten high up in a mango-tree, but as Of
ten down among the leaves of the edible
eggplant { (Solanuns esculentsmj. The
nest varies in appearance according to
the number and kinds of leaves made
use of, and is usually chiefly composed
Of fine cotton, with a few horse-hairs
and fine grass-stems, the use of which
is obviously to enable the cavity to retain
its shape permanently. In some cases,
the nest is described as having been
made of wool, down, and horse-hair,
and one, mentioned by Miss Cockburn,
as made of the down of seed-pods and
fine grasses. Mr.. Hume has found
these nests with three leaves fastened at
equal distances from one another
into the sides of the nest, and not join
ed to one another at ALL He also found
them between two leaves, the one form
ing high back and turned up at the
ends to support the bottom of the nest,
the other hiding the nest in front and
hanging down below it, the tip only of
the first leaf being sewn to the middle
of the second. He has also found them
with four leaves sewn together to form
a canopy and sides, from which the bot
tom of the nest depended, and also be-
tween two long leaves whose sides, from
the very tips to near the peduncles, were
closely and neatly sewn together.
For their sewing, they generally make
use of cobweo, but silk from cocoons,
thread, wool, and vegetable fibers are
also made available. DR.. Jerdon states
that he has seen tailor-bird watch a
native tailor until the latter left the We
randa where he was at work, then hasti-
ly seize some pieces of thread that were
lying about, and fly off with them in tri-
umph. Mr.. Layard describes nest of
the tailor-bird made entirely of cocoa
nut fiber. With the same material a
dozen leaves of the oleander had been
drawn and stitched gether.-Scrtbner

How to Learn to Swim.

Every boy and girl should learn to
swim. A writer in the american Agrt-
custurtst offers the efollowing suggestions,
by obedience to which the art of swim
ming may be readily acquired:
When was boy learned to swim
by means of a swimming board. This
is the safest method possible. If corks
are used they may slip from around the
breast down beneath the body, throw
ing the head below the surface, and put
ting the wearer in danger of drowning.
Some country boys get two bladders
and then tie them together with short
cord, and use these as supports. They
are the most dangerous things possible
for boy to have.
The board is perfectly safe, and one
may learn to swim in q very short time
by using one. 1t should be over four
feet long, over a foot wide and two
inches thick, white pine or cedar.
To use it, boy wades into the water
up to his shoulders, then taking hold Of
the end of the board he pushes it before
hinl-towards the bank, and not into
deeper water-springs forward with his
feet and throws himself fiat upon the
water.
This movement carries him along
few feet. He then draws up both his
legs at the same time, keeping the knees
as far apart as possible, and then strikes
out with both feet, not straight back
ward, but sideways, just as a frog does.
The stroke is made slowly and is re
peated again, drawing up the legs slow
ly and steadily. The board keeps the
head above water. When the leg stroke
has been learned one hand is taken from
the board and the stroke learned, or the
chin may be rested on the board, while
the stroke is taken with both hauds.
This is a very good plan, as it com.
pels the swimmer to keep his hands
under the water, which he should al
ways do. By-and-by the board may bt
pushed ahead and the young swimmer
may swim after it, always keeping i
within reach. When Dumber of boy
60 to swim they should always have TIVE
/ or three of these boards with them fo
use in case of any accident.

is uncharitable, in dealing with such

of starch in plants, and still inquire
how this function is exercised -
Well, he will know that organized

formed in the leaves Of plants. The
agent in the leaves is substance

them their green color, which under
