Reduced Rates to National Encamp-
ment, via Pennsylvania Railroad.

The National Soldiers Reunion and En-
campment will be held in Paramount
Park, Philadelphia, from June % to July
6, 1885. The event will embrace an en-
campment of representative organizations
of the citizen soldiery of the Union, and
attachments of troops from the various
arms of the United States service. The
command will be in charge of military
committee composed of the most eminent
soldiers of the land and numbers of
prominent leaders of the late war will be
present as guests. The programme en-
braces all the features of actual camp SER
vice, the most important of which is q
series of competitive drills, in which the
crack military organizations of the sew
eral States will contend for valuable
prizes. There will also be parades, reviews
and other interesting military maneuvers.
The Fourth of July will be particularly
interesting day. and the ceremonies are eX-
pected to be witnessed by the President
and Cabinet, and other distinguished peo-
pie. The beauty of the camp ground and
its accessibility adds no little to the gen.
eral interest in the affair.
For the benefit of those desiring to at
tend, the Pennsylvania Railroad will sell
excursion tickets from June 26 to July 6,
good to return until July Z, from all
stations on its system to Philadelphia, at
greatly reduced rates.

Lace and Tulle Bonnets.

French laces initiating real thread
laces are used for making entire bon
nets, and for partly trimming others.
Wide scarfs or barbes of lace arc
doubled and have the edges gathered
together across the top, and the closed
part then forms the crown, while the
lower edges r fulled in, and covered
with a bandeau of jet in which are
many pendent beads. This bandeau
edges the front also, and flowers with
loops of velvet or of watered ribbon
form the high trimming, and the strings
match the ribbon loops. Poppy red
tullc of French Grape and black lace
make a stylish contrast in such bon
nets. For instance, red tulle forms
the lengthwise pufs of a bonnet,
mounted on a transparent foundation
of wires, bordered with jet drop trim
ming, and finished on top with a jet
butterfly of mammoth size resting on a
lace bow; the strings are poppy red vel
vet ribbon two inches wide. Similar
bonnets are trimmed in front with
puffs of French Grape of the brilliant
coquelicot red, and still others have
black p~iece.lace mounted on a red
foundation. Cresson green watcred
ribbons are also used on black lace
bonnets by fashionable French milli-
ners. Gilt GALLON in many loops is
laid over the brim of black lace bon
nets, while still others have a combina-
ton of gilt lace with French lace like
that in favor last autumn.-Harper's
Bdzar.

How Animals Adapt Themselves to CT
cumstanceS.

How Animal Adapt Themselves to Cir.
cumstances.
Andrew Knight tells us of a bird
which, having built her nest upon a
forcing-house, ceased to visit it during
the day when the heat of the house was
sufficient to incubate the eggs; but al
ways returned to sit upon the eggs at
night when the temperature of the
house fell. Again, thread and worsted
are now habitually used by sundry
species of birds in building their nests,
instead OF wool and horse-hair, which
in turn were no doubt originally sub
stitutes for vegetable tibers aud grasses.
This il especially noticeable in the case
of the tailor-bird, which finds thread
the best material wherewith to sew.
The common house-sparrow furnishes
another instance OF intelligent adapta-
ton of nest-building to circumstances.
for in trees it builds a domed
nest presumably, therefore, the M
cestral type), but in towns avails
itself by preference of sheltered holes
in buildings. where 1t can afford to save
time and trouble by constructing a
loosely-formed nest. Moreover, the
chimney and the house-swallows have
similarly changed their instincts of mid
iication, and IN America this change
has taken place within the last two or
three hundred years. Indeed, accord
ing to Captain Elliott Coves, all the
species of swallow on that continent
with one possible exceptiohj have
thus modified the sites and structures
of their nests in accordance with the
novel facilities afforded by the settle-
ment of the country.
Another instructive case of an intelli-
gent change of instinct in connection
with nest-building is given from a let
ter by MI. Haust, dated New Zealand,
1862, which I find among Mr.. Darwin's
manuscripts. Mr.. Haust says that the
Paradise duck, which naturally or
usually builds its nest along the rivers
on the ground, has been observed by
him on the east of the island, when
disturbed in their nests upon the
ground, to build '.new ones on the tops
of high trees, afterward bringing their
young mes down on their backs to the
water; d exactly Cne same tnlnS mas
been recorded by another observer of
the Wild ducks of Guiana. Now, if in
telligent adjustment to peculiar circum-
stances is thus adequate, not only to
make a whole breed or species of bird
transport their young upon their backs
or, as in the case of the woodcock,
between their legs-but even to make
web-footed water. fowl build their nests
in high trees, [ think we can have no
doubt that if the need Of such adjust
ment were Of sufficiently long continu-
ance. the intelligence which leads to it
would eventually produce a new and
remarkable modification of their an
cestral instinct CT nest-buildsng.-
