the bulp or expansion at the middle of the
nest where there are actually two rooms,
for the male has perch divided off from
the female by a little partition, where he

where he may rest at night. The walls

fourteen to eighteen inches long. and six

through the hanging neck.
In the country where the baya sparrow
lives there are snakes and opossoms. and
all the rest of the egg-eateIs: and in ad

are more to be feared than all the rest to-

get any where near they will reach their
long slender fingers down inside the nest.
The baya sparrow discovered this, and
learned to build almost inclosed, on all
sides, and to enter it from under meath by
a1neck too long for monkey to conyenien
tiy reach up through. Besides this she took
the precaution to hang it on the the very
lips OF light branches, upon which she
thought no robber would dare trust him

knew a trick worth two o. that They
would go to a higher limb which was
strong. and one would let himself down

followed them into the Kontenai county
to point near the British line. where a

The romantic setting of the story makes
it extremely interesting and many of the
old frontiersmen place implicit faith in its
entire truth, citing as a basis of their
confidence the fact that the men do dis

of gold; but I have heard no satisfactory
reason given for the failure to find that

CHICAGO. May 22-The Grand Lodge
of the world of Independent Order of Good

session this morning, but engaged only in
preliminary work, all the delegates not
having yet arrived 1t is estimated that
10 delegates will be present to represent
various grand lodges, Geo. B. Katzen-

Templar, presided at the forenoon session.
Delegates announce that the plan of ac-
ton will be outlined for the guidance of
the subordinate lodges in making the
power of the order felt as a political
agency in securing prohibitory enactments
in several states of the Union.

A Failing Industry.

The glory is departing from the Ohio
valley as the home of the grape, and the
Cincinnati Enquirer fears that no fu-
ture poet will sing of it as Longfellow
has done. The vines of Kelley's Island
and Put-in-Bay are affected by species
of blight, and experts have been unable
to find the cause or a cure. This fail
ure is likely to take away from Cincin-
natl a peculiar feature of its business in
beverages. There are numerous houses
kept by German wine-makers, who
study the subject intelligently, and
bring to bear all the knowledge they
can CLEAN. They do not own vineyards,
but buy grapes in quantities, press the
juice, and ferment it on their own prem
ises, selling their own make along with
Rhine wines. They do wholesale as
well as retail trade, and all in quiet,
unpretentious fashion. The prices are
low, and the wine pure so that import
alton cannot take the place of the home
manufacture.

seve raj were hanging to each other, and
the lowest one could reach the sparrow's s
treasures. He would eat them all himself,
and then one by one they would climb up
over each other; and last of all, the tired
first one. who had been holding up the
weight of all the rest, would get up too,
and all would go noisily off in search of
fresh plunder, which suppose, would be
given to different one, the rest making
a ladder for him.
Now the cunning sparrow saw way
to avoid even this dangerous trickery.
She knew that there was nothing monk
ey hated so terribly as to get his sleek
coat wet. He would rather go hungry. So
she hung her nest over the water close TO
the surface, and the agile thieves do not
dare to make a chain long enough to en-
able the last one to reach up into her nest
from below. as he must do, for fear that
the springy branches might bend'so far
as to douse them into the water. The spar
row has fairly outwitted the monkey.

have attracted considerable attention,
but we can easily imagine how silly such
artificial exercise must have seemed to
those whose backs ached from their daily
Work. Little prepared were our New
England parents to understand that. by
this kind OF exercise. backs and limbs
could be developed that would easily
carry burdens which unframed muscles
| would groan under. This same ignOr-
ance exists to-day. The majority still
believe that hard manual labor affords
better exercise than can any system OF
artificial gymnastics; whereas, instead
of the equally developed elastic body re-
sulting from gNmnaSium-trainin we
have in the laborers n stiff -jointed,
clumsy. ill-proportioued body. In the
fifty years since the introduction into
this country of systematic bOdy-train-
ing, there, nevertheless, has been great
gain in the popular estimation of lis adj
vantages, aS is shown by the almost
countless systems that have received
ephemeraI patronage Witness the in

Galveston, July N.-The News Lamposas special says: Carriages containing the skeletons of three grown persons and two children, sit ting bolt upright, were found under a large tree, near Rood, in Lauo coun- ty. The tree was shattered by light ming. It is supposed the carriage had sought shelter under the tree and lightning killed the horses and in- mates. The weather beaten appear ance of the carriage and trimmings looks as if it. was done years ago. Ih a small trunk a letter was addressed to Jas G. Chamberlain, London, Eng land. Tho remains were found by a stockman, driving cattle, and was re ported at once to the authorities. The parties are supposed to have been tourists.
