cherished, since, aside from its great
beauty and pleasant song, it feeds
upon caterpillars and other insects
that are q nuisance in farms and
gardens.
The Baltimore oriole derives its
name from the fact that it's main
colors, black and orange, were the
colors of Lord Baltimore, who
founded Maryland. The birds some
times called golden robin, and fire
bird, as it has scarlet on its breast.
1t lays five eggs, whitish pink, with
spots and bars of purple.
The Tailor bird of India, is q small
bird, with short wings and long tail.
1t is a plain-looking bird of pale
brown color, with some white on its
feathers, but is very wonderful as a
nest builder. 1t constructs it's nest
by two leaves at the end of a twig,
and sewing them together at their
edges, using it's bill for needle, and
vegetable fbers with knots to keep
them from slipping through the leaf
for thread. Occasionally it makes its
nest of one large leaf, by sewing the
edges together; and it draws the stalk
end of the leaf over the nest so as to
make an awning, that protects it from
sun or rain.
Inside the nest is lined with cotton,
silky grass, vegetable fibers, and some
times few feathers; and it is made
at the very end of long branch,
where it will be out of the way Of
snakes, monkeys, and other un-
friendly intruders.

At evening when the lamp is lit,
Around the fire my parents sit;
They sit at home and talk and sing,
And do not play at anything.
Now, with my little gun, crawl
All in the dark along the wall,
And follow round the forest track
Away behind the sofa back.
There, in the night, where none can spy,
All In my hunters camp lie,
And play at books that have read
Till it is time to 90 to bed.
These are the hills, these are the woods,
These are my starry solitudes;
And there the river by whose brink
The roaring lions come to drink.

All was still, and when the trem-
bling little girlventured topeep around
the stump there lay the goat,
apparently lifeless. Selling her little
apron, she sped swiftly over the rest
of the field, and was soon at home
safe in her mothers arms.
Was the goat killed? Well, he was
so badly stunned that he did not re-
vive for some time.
When Jessie was on her way to
school the next morning she met Mr..
Rawson coming out of the pasture.
He did not know, until Jessie told
him, what hurt the goat. When she
had finished telling him about it, he
said, "Well! Well! l must say you

Words ought to carry their sense

to clothe thought and make it better

not to conceal it; it is head dress
not a mask; it ought to set it off

Jessie and the Goat.


"Dear mel II | only could 60
home through the field ~
School was just out and little Jessie
May, warm and tired, looked longingly
over the cool, green field. 1t was q
much shorter way home, as well as
more pleasant, to go through the
field than to go around by the dusty
road. But Mr.. Rawson's goat was
pastured there. He was a very cross
old fellow, and the terror of the
school children. Mr.. Rawson had
said it was not at all safe for the
small children to enter the field while
the goat was there; so going home
that way this afternoon was not to be
thought.o
AS Jessie cast a last longing look
in that direction, before turning down
the dusty road, she gave a cry of de-
light: "Why | do believe old Billy
IS gone! l can't see him anywhere.
Mr.. Rawson must have taken him
out of the pasture. -
Climbing upon the fence she looked
long and carefully. No goat was in
sight, so she jumped down from the
fence into the long, cool grass of the
field.
She had gone about half way across
when Mr.. Billy-who all this time
had been lying buried in the deep
grass, taking an afternoon nap
gathered himself up for agood shake.
AS he caught sight of Jessie trip
ping along, he gazed for a while in
establishment. 1t was only for a
moment, for the next instant he gave
his head vicious shake, as though
to say "What right have you here, l
should like to know" and started in
hot pursuit.
Jessie soon heard the quick patter,
patter of of his small feet. A terrified
glance behind her showed her the
goat, with lowered head, rushing
directly at her,
Just as she despaired of making
her escape, she saw large stump
where tree had recently been cut
down. 1t stood almost directly in
her path, and was large enough for
her to hide behind it.
Quick as a flash off came her white
apron, and was quickly tied around
the stump, on the side toward which
the goat was coming.
With a widely beating heart Jessie
crouched behind the stump to await
the result.
She was completely hidden and
Mr.. Goat, with head bent so low that
he caught but glimpse of the white
apron, did not discover that it was
the stump that woreit, and not Jessie.
He came rushing on, and his head
struck the stump with terrible force.

Some Curious Little Architects.
Ruskin has written upon "The
Seven Lamps of Architecture" but
there are wise little architects that
have never read his book, and have
no need of hampstead or fgurative
to help them in their labors. Some
of these little workers are found in
South America, and go by the name
of oven birds, because they build
houses or nests in the shape of a
dome, with an entrance at the side,
looking almost exactly like ovens.
They use clay, grass and other
plants for material, and as they make
the walls an inch thick, the structures
when dried in the sun are very firm
and strong.
The little architects divide this
house into two separate rooms by
means of partition reaching almost
to the top. In the inner room they
make bed of feathers and soft
grasses, on which they deposit their
eggs, generally four in number,
This bird takes no pains to conceal
its nest, but builds it in open sight
on the leafess branch of a tree, or
upon the fence, or within barn or
other building. The traveller in Brazil
sees these nests on the tops of tele-
graph poles, and at the entrance to
gentlemen's country seats, looking
always "like carvedround blocks of
wood" designed for ornament.
The bright and beautiful Baltimore
oriole, found all over our own coun-
try, and to some distance both north
and south or it, constructs a wonder
full nest. 1t is shaped like a purse
six or seven inches long and three OF
four inches wide-and is made of flax,
hair, wool and vegetable fibers.
These are matted together until they
have become about as thick as felt.
The nest is sewed with strong stitches
of horse hair-single horse hairs used
in this way being sometimes two feet
long.
When the bird is near the dwelling
houses, it sometimes snatches up
thread to use instead of the horse
hair, and seamstresses need to keep
watch over their work baskets when
the oriole is abroad, for it will seize
not only thread in punches but
skeins of silk and loose strings, to
use in its nest building. The female
bird appears to do most of the work
of building the nest, the male bird
collecting the material for her.
Sometimes the husband brings
home hair or other things that do not
suit the little wife, and she casts them
asid e and sends him off again fo1
something better. AT the bottom Of
the nest a quantity of soft things,
like cows hair, is placed, to make q
warm, soft bed. This curious nest is
hung fearlessly upon garden tree,
the bird having no dread of human

and values of farm animals in the va
rious states as compared with the
number and values in 1887. In the
country at large, there has been an
increase since January 1887, in
horses of 667.192; mules, IA, $50;
mich COWS, 334, 331; oxen and other
cattle, 896,613, while in the number

for horses, mules and sheep has been
very slight.

estimates that Chinese is spoken by
400 millions, Hindustani by over 100,
English by about 100, German by ST,
and Spanish by over At. Thus four
times as many people speak Chinese
as English, and the Chinese are devel-

Chinese merchants are as active along
all the Pacific coast of Asia and in
the principal Pacific islands as they
are on the Pacific coast OF America.

James r. Eye, the newly-e!ected COM
mander of the department OF Minnesota,
was born at Pine Grove Furnace, Cumber-
land county, Pa, March 90, 1914. When
fourteen years old he removed with his
parents to Illinois and worked upon a farm
until he was seventeen, when lin 1862 he
enlisted in Company F, Ninety.third Him
OILS infantry. and served as corporal until
the close OF the war. His first engagement
was at Jackson, Miss; at Champion Hills
he was captured by the enemy and held a
prisoner three months, when he was parol-
ed and returned to his regiment.
He was in tine battle of Altoona
Pass and the several minor engagements
between that place and Dalton,
Ga. He went with his regiment through
Sherman's march to the sea and was hon
orably discharged in July 1865. Four
years afterward he came to Minneapolis,
and for the past six years he has served as
deputy sheriff OF Hennepin county. He
has been specially active in Grand Army
work, and his purse and hand have invari-
ably been opened at the call OF his
less fortunate comrades. This fact &C
counts for his popularity in the order.
He was elected senior vice COM
mander OF George N. Morgan post, and
was advanced to commander in 1854,
officiating in that capacity during the ma
tional encampment at Minneapolis that
year. In 1887 he was elected Junior vice
commander of the department OF Mime
sofa, and from his first connection with it
has been a liberal and devoted friend OF his
order and old comrades in arms. His
family consists OF wife and three chill
dren.

Death OF w. w. Corcoran CT Wash
ingtOn,

w. w. Corcoran, the successful business
man, capitalist and above all and al
ways the philanthropis is dead. He died
without pain or a movement DR.. Garrett,
who remained at the patients bedside I'M
til nearly midnight, predicted that the
end would come before sunrise, and the
household accordingly prepared for the
end. c. NJ. Matthews, Mr.. Corcoran's
nephew, Miss Eustis, his granddaughter,a and
Miss Jones, his niece, were all at the death
bed. Since the stroke OF paralysis last
summer it has been only a question Of
time how long he would survive.
A few days ago slight cold was taken
while driving. Ordinarily it would have
been OF no consequence, but III his enfee-
bled condition it proved fatal. He grew
rapidly worse. and in a few days was lying
motiOnless and senseless on his dea thbed.
He slept most OF the time, passing from
sleep to a comatose condition, and almost
imperceptibly from that to death last
Saturday morning without struggle
William Wilson Corccran was the richest
man in the District OF Columbia. His
great start as capitalist was made tlur-
ing the Mexican war. when he bought gov
eminent bonds when they were far below
par, and held them till they were redeemed
at their face value. After this speculation
he spent his business life in banking ana in
the care OF his property, which is reputed
to be worth SD, 500, 900.
Mr.. Corcoran's gifts to the cause OF edu-
cation, religion and the care Of the moor
aggregate So, 600, 900. Mr.. Corcoranawas
born in Georgetown, D. c., Dec. 81, 1885,
His father was a native OF Ireland
who removed to GEORGETOWN in 1887.
In 1917 Mr.. Corcoran Purchased the site
OF Oak Hill cemetery, Georgetown, ex-
pended about Sl2o, 600 in improving it,
and presented the cemetery to his native
town. The Corcoran gallary OF art he es-
tablished in 1857, spending about $780,
600 in fitting it up, and in addition
establishing an endowment fund OF
nearly q million dollars for its benefit.
Another OF his large public gifts is
the Louise home, which he founded in
memory of his wife. 1t is intended as a
home for aged women OF refinement and
education, who by reverses OF fortune have
been reduced from affluence to poverty.
This building cost 100000 and has an
endowment fund in addition OF about
$500, 600. Mr.. Corcoran also made large
| and valuable gifts to the Washington
orphan asylum, Columbian university and
| many institutions in the South He also
| gave 500. 600 to The Church of the Ascen-
| sion OF Washington. To the University of

$500, 600, besides a library of 1000 vol
ufnes. One of his la test public acts OF unset
fish magnanimity was the bringing hither

The Bankers Magazine ventures the
statement that estate indebtedness is
becoming a thing OF the past but
this pleasing fact has scarcely come
yet. The states still owe in round
numbers $163, 100000. One-sixth of
this is owed by one state, Virginia,
and five states, Virginia, Tennessee,
Louisiana, Missouri and North Caro-
lima, owe one-half the total state in
debtedness of the country. The New
England and Middle states are, how
ever, almost free from debt, Massa-
chusetts, with $S,404, 262, and Penn
sylvania, with SIS. 661, 361, having the
largest debts. Two of our largest states,
New York and Illinois, are now debt

the former be deducted from the debt,
The public local debts of the country,

have all reduced their debts since
then, the aggregate in 1890 will be
less. In no other country in the
world but the United States has the
great burden Of local Or national debt
grown lighter, and the difference be-
tween the national blanket mortgage
here and elsewhere constitutes great
odds in favor OF American industry.
