WEAVER BIRDS.

However ancient the art of weaving
may be among men, it has no doubt
been practiced by birds from their very
first existence, and it is much more diff
ficult to imagine in what possible way
bird could perform with his bill the Of
flee of sewing, using it as needle, than
that the weaver's shuttle should accom-
plish what it does; because in every
kind of weaving the cross thread is
passed between the warp, by means of
the shuttle, which goes c0mpletely
through; but it is very plain that a bird
could not so use its bill, much less its
entire body, which in all weaver birds
is too large for the purpose. That this
work is actually done by them, we not
only have unquestionable evidence in
the workmanship of their nests, but the
testimony undoubted of those who have
watched these skilful little mechanics
at work.
Let me tell you in this article of some
one or two birds which have come I'M
der this head, beginning with the ORR
ole, almost every species of which be-
long to our own country, and with very
few exceptions build hanging nests.
They are often called the hanging
Bird on this account. This bird Sc
lects a tree which has long, dropping
branches, and on the end of one of
these branches he builds his nest, which
swings to and fro in the wind, like that
cradle upon the "tree-top' which they
used to tell us about when we were
younger than we are now. Around
two of these twigs is fastened strong
string of hemp or flax, corresponding
to the width of the nest they are to
build.
1t would puzzle a man to make such
fabric as the Orioles nest is composed
of. The material seems to be MKT
ure of tow, flax, hemp, or something
similar, interviewer so as to produce II
sort of tough substance resembling that
of which gentlemen's hats are some
times made. 1t is formed into pouch,
six or seven inches in depth. lined nice
ly with the very finest and softest of
substances, and the whole is sheltered
from the scorching rays of the sun, as
well as from the rain, by an ingenious
canopy of leaves. What an exhibition
of natural sagacity this bird shows in
the building of his nest! He seems to
know, too, that boys sometimes disturb
birds nests, and so he places his on the

Grandfather Lickshingle's Exposition Of
FlOrid-Newspaper Style.

Grandfather Lickshingle broke the
silence yesterday evening as follows:
4" tell you what it is, children, there's
no use talkin'. The newspaper men of
to-day can't sling ink with their grand
fathers. They're degeneratin'. This
country sees no graphic writin' like it

the fires you have heard of can't be
beat-eXceptin', of course, beyond the
tomb. When | hear of one of these
CONGREGATIONS | just ache to take my
pen in hand and describe it in my own
graphic style"
Grandfather closed his eyes, swayed
to and fro on his easy chair, while his
face glowed with enthusiasm. He
seemed to be in a transport of Joy.

he said, land let me paint the burnin'

grandfather, rapidly tracing sheet of
imaginary paper with a goose-quill of
the mind. "Fire fire! fire! and the
afrighted winds took up the cry. The
fire fiend, with his sword of flame, was
seen leaping from the back window of

The Times That Try Mans Soul.

When he pops the question.
When his wife wants to talk and he
doesn't.
When he writes to his best girl and
has to wait two weeks for reply.
When hash is placed before him five
successive mornings at his boarding
house.
When he pokes his head through his
last clean shirt and finds no button on
behind.
When he buys a new pair of shoes
and discovers two big nails sticking up
in the heels.
When he hurries around the corner
and lands square in the arms of a man
who holds his |. 0. U.
When he takes his girl out and dis
covers that he has left his pocket-book
at home in his old trousers.
When he comes home early in the
morning and his wife wants to hold Il
little debating society in the lower hall.
When he goes home at night, finds u
house full of company, and his wife
blissfully ignorant of the fact that din
ner is not ready.
When in his dreams he is standing
upon the verge of precipice, and his
wife suddenly reminds him that he isn't,
but that he is jerking her " banged"
hair all to pieces.
When he dives down into the bottom
of his trunk, jerks out what he supposes
to be a clean pair of socks, but finds
only an old table napkin, with four
white neckties put away for next sum-
mer.

shingles, like the boy on the burnin'
deck, an without as much as a look
out behind rains a shower of sparks
upon the heads of the panic-stricken
populace. But see him now! He spits
upon his calloused hands and scoots up
the liberty pole like a cat up an apple
tree. Up! up! up! Higher! higher!
higher! Higher and yet higher! Higher
than the price of butter, until now, with
one fiery foot, he tiptoes it upon the

Kindling With Kerosene.

On cold morning, with time pass

immediate means of getting up flame.

sorted to by Betty or John in their ex-

it in this way: When filling my lamp

tom of the CRATE; on that | place fine
wood such as | have, pressing it well
together, and then | squirt three or
four sprays of the oil on this from the
fine orifce of the spout, by pressing on
the bottom in the usual way. The oil
can is then put aside, the larger wood
and coal laid on, griddle replaced, and
a match struck and applied to the pa
per through the CRATE bars lights at
at once a quick and never failing blaze.
Such plan is recommendable because
it is safe. 1t leaves no excuse for n
servant or any one else risking life and
property by pouring oil from a can

Naptha and BenZine.

We have often been asked the differ
ence between banzine and naphtha,
many people wanting to know whether
naphtha didn't include benzine, or
whether it wasn't the same thing under
a marketable name. A prominent re-
finer says that benzine is the first prod
uct that arises from the process of re-
fining crude oil, and bears the same
relation to naphtha that that distillate
does to refined oil. In other words,
benzine is crude naphtha. The reason
it is not quotable under the name of
benzine, therefore, is because it has to
be reduced to naphtha before it is mar
ketable in any extensive quantity.
The process that benzine is subject to,
to produce naphtha, is not a separate
business, but is carried on by the regu-
lar oil reliners in the same stills and re-
torts that the refined oil is produced.
The benzine is treated with sulphuric
acid, and the result is naphtha, which
is in wide demand in Europe, especially
in France, for the purpose of producing
aniline dyes, while it is also put to
many other purposes.
This demand is partially instrument
tai in keeping up its price, but its rapid
evaporation also has a tendency in that
direction, as any large seller of it has
to take into consideration the deprecia-
ton that might take place by the time
he sells it on that account, and for the
same reason buyers give no more orders
than immediate necessity requires.
All refiners, however, do not produce
naphtha, but some of them sell the ben
zine, which is largely used for fuel pur-
poses, for which it is much better than
coal, as it is not only absolutely cheaper,
but gives steadier heat. -Par6er Daiiy.

PARSON
S.tBB4TH

On the grave of Parson Williams
The grass is brown and bleached,
1t is more than fifty winters
Since he lived and laughed and preached,
But his memory in New England
No winter SHOWS can kill;
Of his goodness and his drOllness,
Countless legends linger still.
And among those treasured legends
| hold this one boon.
How he got in Deacon Crosby hay
On Sunday afternoon.
He was midway in a sermon,
Most orthodox, on grace,
When a sound of distant thunder
Broke the quiet of the place.
Now the meadows of the Crosbys
Lay full within his sight,
As he glanced from out the window
Which stood open on his right.
And the green fragrant haycocks
BY acres there did stand;
Not meadow like the Deacon's
Far or near in all the land.
Quick and loud the claps of thunder
Went rolling through the skies,
And the ParsOn saw his Deacon
Looking out with anxious eyes.
Now, my brethren" called the Parson,
And called with might and main,
We must get in Brother Crosby's hay,
lis our duty now most plainW
And he shut the great red Bible,
And tossed his sermon down,
Not man could run more swiftly
Than the Parson in that town.
And he ran now to the meadow
With all his EtrpODth and Snapd
And the congregation followed
All bewildered in his lead.
Hal not often on a Sunday
Such sight as this, | ween,
OF a parson aud his people.
A New England town had seen.
With a will they worked and shouted,
And cleared the fields apace;
And the Parson led the singing,
While the sweat rolled down his face.
And it Numbered iiercer louder.
And dark grew east and west;
But the hay was under cover,
And the Parsun had worked best.
Not moment had been wasted;
The rain was falling fast,
AS the Parson and his people
Through the village breathless passed.
And again in pew and pulpit
Their places took composed.
And the ParsOn preached his sermon
To " tifteenthly," where it closed.
When the services were ended
The people, talking. stayed
And among the sternly pious
There were bitter comments made.
And the good old Deacon Crosby,
A meek and godly man,
Hardly dared rejoice his haycocks
Had been saved on such plan.
But the Parson came down, striding,
In haste the narrow aisle,
And the Deacon's bent old shoulders
He patted, with Il smile.
And he said; No fear, my brother,
Lest God think it is u sin;
For He sent the sun to make your hay,
And your friends to get it in D."

1t Always Works.

People who ride on the Woodward
avenue route have often noticed that
when a certain tall, solemn-looking
man, aged about fifty, boards full car,
he always holds whispered converse
ton with some man, who at once gives
him a seat and retires to the platform.
The tall man never has to stand and
hang to the strap, simply because he
understands human nature. CHANGING
around the car he selects his victim,
bends down and confdentially whispers:
" Make no move to attract attention,
and listen carefully to'what | say. You
have an ink-stain on your nose and your
neck-tie is unfastened. Step out on the
platform moment and brush up"
The victim steps out there every
time, and after he has wiped away at
his nose and pulled away at his tie he
looks into the car to see the tall man
enjoying the vacated seat with the
greatest comfort. Life is full of these
receptions, and yet innocent people are
powerless to meet them. Free Press.

the lecturer remarked that his dark
friend who was travelling with him from
Mtesa's court in Africa had not heard
anything which so reminded him of the
cannibals of the interior of Africa as
the cries of the undergraduates in the
hall that night. He would have to make
