An Easy WAY Out of It.

Here is an interesting account By Dr..
G. G. Abbot of the cunning way in
which little bird rebuilt its nest IL
order to avoid Matching an intrudcr's
egg;
"a pretty little fy-catcher, which hal
taken much pains to build her nest.
was in trouble about her own Pearlv
eggs, and through no fault OF her owr
An impudent cow-bird [Kol0tin9t5
pecoris of naturalists), too lazy to make
nest for herself, or to look up an ell
one, or, indeed, to hatch her own eggs,
had slyly dropped an egg into the fly
catcher's nest, and then gone off, quite
Indifferent as to what became of it.
What the first thoughts Of the fly
catcher were when she saw the i'll
trusive egg, am at loss to conjecture :;
but the nest itself tells us that the bird
was not easily outwitted, and also that
the conclusion it finally reached was to
get rid of the noxious egg by making
practically a new nest out OF the old
one.
Now, this fy-catcher, which orni-
biologists know as the white-eyed yireo
(Vireo 41oUeborGcenciS), builds a
rather fragile, hanging nest, usually
out of fine twigs and strips Of thin bark,
all nicely interlaced, but sometimes en-
ploying also large pieces of newspaper
The nest is suspended to the delicate
twigs that grow on the very ends of
long, wavy branches. To compensate,
therefore, for the considerable motion
to which it is subjected when the wind
blows, the nest is made very deep, and
quite small at the top. So deep is it,
in fact, that usually we cannot detect
the sitting bird, unless the nest Is
looked upon from above.
"In the instance of the nest here
described, this great depth Of the orig
inal structure came nicely into play. for
the outcome of the birds thoughts was
that to build a new floor to the nrs-,
while it would necessitate leaving rwo
of her own eggs unmatched, would lace
the unwieldy egg Of the inteTloper <3nwt
in the basement also, and woul,, c1u.
leave her free to rear her own 1al.i.iy,
unmolested, on the second floor. This
she cunningly accomplished by first
placing stout twig just above the eggs,
and then Intervening suitable soft ma
terials with the sides of the nest, allow
ing their weight to rest upon the twig
extending from side to side and project
inc beyOnd them.-SL. Nicholas

Black Snakes Fighting.

7 once witnessed conflict between
two racer snakes. Hearing q tremen-
dous thrashing among the leaves on my
right, I turned my head in that direc-
ton and beheld a sight which, though
calculated to make ones flesh creep,
was sufficiently exciting to hold ones
breathless attention. Two of these
glossy black reptiles, each four feet
long, often with half their lengths
erect, were charging upon and lashing
each other in terrific manner. Their
maneuvers reminded me of two wiry
game chickens, Withdrawing, advancing
and circling around each other, some
times prone upon the ground and again
with half their bodies erect in the air,
with heads drawn back and jaws dis
tended, now and again coming together
with rush, coiling and whirling about
each other, while they lashed each other
and the ground with their tails, the
blows sounding like the stroke of a
heavy-stubbed whip-lash. This ami
mated contest lasted probably two min
utes, when one of the contestants, hav-
ing been sufficiently entertained, darted
away, with his antagonist in hot pur-
suit, and soon they passed beyond my
viev.-BaLfalo Courier.

Work, Worry and Bad Habits.

An Eastern journal remarks, with
truth, that there is a great deal OF hum
bug IN the common talk Of men being
overworked. 1--WE know" it says, "a
good deal about work-honest, square,
steady, effective work; but about over
work we have a great deal of doubt.
Generally speaking, when man is said
to be overworked, the truth is that he
has been guilty Of some excess which
breaks down his strength. There may
De cases in which there is an excess of
work, but of these cases there are very
few indeed. The excess is in eating, in
drinking, in neglect of exercise" or of
sleep, it should have added. Another
journal adds: "It is a trite saying, but
true one, that worry kills oftener than
work; but both combined do not break
down so many men as do irregular and
irrational habits"

The English Gentleman.

Somehow in England, as nowhere
else On earth, man who is not "gen-
tleman" cannot pass muster as one. The
standard is everywhere present in En-
gland. The English gentleman is unique.
His bearing is unmistakable. There is
a nameless air about him that stamps
him as a gentleman before he speaks.
The English gentleman is reserved,
quiet, speaks in low voice, seldom
dogmatizes and when he does it is in
epigrams. He always dresses suitably
never violates the proprieties or be
grudges the amenities of life. Under
no conceivable condition Of temptation
does he ever "swagger. Death were
to him more desirable than the sus-
picion of being unreal or a humbug.
Beaconsfield had literary instinct in his
veins. He had the manners Of a gen
tleman from the first. So it was that
the aristocracy of England accepted
him as their leader He was the great

MILLION ARE DROWNED AT SARATOGA.
SARATOGA, June 25.-Jno. S. Stryker,
well-known New York millionaire, and
Edwin Villrs, with servant, rowed out
in skiff from Leslie cottage to-day, and
Stryker went into the water, Villiers fol-
lowing. As the latter came up he saw
Stryker, good swimmer, by the boat, say
ing, Don't let me drown Jal e, throw me
an oar" He again went down and came
up and cried, ooh, Jake don't let me
drown - Villiers swan to him at first
thinking Stryker was joking with his servant
the colored man, then threw an oar and
V1lEers passed it to Stryker, who did not
grasp it. Villiers sestained Stry ker till
exhausted and then was forced to let him
go to save himself. VIliers was saved by
Henry and George Rogers rowing from
the shore, after hearing the servants cries.
Stryker's age was twenty-four years. He

Storytelling is trade. It is as

stories as it is for them to sleep. Some
men are born story-tellers, and others

The other day smart Alex met Ger
man On the street and said:
Hello, Hans, where you going?"
ooh, Use going down town."
Fine day for the races"
Races? What races?" said Hans.
"The human races" said the Alex.
Here the Alex tapped Hans on the
shoulders and a hearty laugh followed,
after which they took something at
Hans expense.

Scrambled Snakes Eggs.

DIR. Hermes, the Director of the
Berlin Aquarium, made an interesting
experiment in dracontoophagy when he
served up to his family and some in
vited friends a dish of scrambled
snakes egg. A few days before, an In
clan python, lately received at the in
st tuition, had laid fifty-five eggs. From
thirty of these DIR. Hermes had the
singular dish prepared in the presence
OF his guests. They were broken up
into frylng-pan containing the requi-
site modicum OF. melted butter. The
eggs have no yelk, but are filled with a
gr&yish-white liquid; the shells are
neither hard nor brittle, as in birds
eggs, and, after being emptied Of their
contents, resemble pieces of leather.
The taste of the savory plat was
.hkened to that of mashed potatoes
mixed with rice. In his "Curiosities of
Natural History,s Frank Buckland tells
an amusing story of his little girl APP
propriating some snakes eggs and eat
ting them under the impression that
that they were big sugar-plums The
same distinguished naturalist had him
self banqueted upon boa-constrictor,
which he found to resemble veal s ome-
what. It is well known that the Kafirs
and Hottentots ca snakes of all kinds,
even the deadly puff-adder, while the
Bushman not only regards their flesh
as a delicacy, but Consumes without
hesitation the animals which he brings
down with his arrows tipped with the
adder's venom. The Australian aborig-
lies are snake-eaters, and in some rural
districts in France a bowl of viper
broth is the popular prescription for
