Tho InteIIircrce of Birds.

DR.. Charles G. Abbott says that in ex-
perimenting on the intelligence of birds
when he girdled branches on which birds
had built their nests, causing the foliage
to shrivel, exposing their nests, although
they had laid their eggs they would aban-
don them; but if the nests already con-
tanned young birds, Notwithstanding the
exposure, they would remain until the
young were able to fly. He placed q mum

tree in which a couple of Baltimore eli
oles were building nest. The pieces of
yarn were all exactly alike except in color.
There was an equal number of each color,
and the red and yellow were purposely
placed on the top. The birds chose only
the gray pieces, putting in a few purple
and blue ones when the nest was nearly
finished. Not a red, yellow or green
strand was used.-Chicago News.

| but out on the plains they employ some
| thing very different. Capt. Philo Clark
of the old Second cavalry, who was an
authority on all such subjects, said that
the plains Indians rarely used smoke
signals at all. Yet very well remem-
Der how in the Sioux campaign of re,
when l was pushed ahead of our regi-
ment in command of the advanced party
as we neared the valley of the South
Cheyenne, twenty odd miles ahead of our
supports, we distinctly saw two
signal smokes going up among
the distant ridges both to the
right and to the left Of our line of march.
Among the plains Indians, however,
where all is open country, the mirror is
pet means of making signals. Almost
every Indian has one of those little cir
cular hand-glasses, and with it if the
sun is only shining, he can telegraph
back for miles. If the enemy 3 force is
but small he sends distinct flashes, and
by shifting them to the right and left in
dlcates which way he wants the support
to move IN order to catch and strike
them. If the enemy he discovered be 4
strong force, the little mirror only sends
back q shivering, tremulous beam, and
that means "soatter and hide. If on
q hunt, the Indians used to have pre-
concerted arrangement as to what should
be indicated by each number OF flashes,
but the buffalo days have gone forever.
have seen q picture representing an In
dian chief sitting upon q height and look
ing down upon his braves engaged in
battle below, and apparently directing
their movements by the flashes of the
little mirror he held in his hand. This
is a possible thing but rather improb-
able, for in the dust and smoke and ex-
element OF combat there would be little
opportunity for studying flashes.
On the other hand, in love affairs the
little mirror has been very useful. A
young Indian brave who longed to have q
meeting with his sweetheart would slip
quietly away from the village to some
neighboring bluff, and from there flash
his message to the entrance of her lodge;
she would be quick to see it, quick to ap-
pear at the doorway, and, presently to
stroll of after berries or wild plums.
Perhaps this system is still in vogue.
The blanket is universal as means of
signaling, and in the days OF the old In
dian red blanket they could be seen for
miles. 1t was the blanket that conveyed
TO the villages Of Sitting Bull and his al

"Almost nothing said Ned decis-
lively. 81 think there are some things
we could realize little on, but nothing
that could begin to support US or to start
us out in any way. We shall have to go
to work, Martin and 1. -
The schoolmaster s face frightened.
"That is the kind of spirit that always
succeeds, - he said heartily. 81 think
we can manage it. We will hunt up
places where you can go to school and

"But we don t want to be separated.
We promised father we would keep to-
gether, protested Ned.
"Ah, yes, see; but we must contrive
a way for you to keep up your studies.
1t would be such pity for you to stop
now" said the teacher.
"Mr. Roberts, - said Hope, coming
away from the window and standing be-
fore the principal with her small hands
olasped before her shy eyes raised to his;
"'Mr. Roberts, my father used to say

more and learned what we could from
those about us. Or suppose that in a
few years we could earn enough to take
the boys through school. Would they
be hurt by waiting, Mr.. Roberts2"
If an oracle had found voice and
spoken the schoolmaster could not have
been more surprised. Hitherto he had
been thinking entirely of the boys, fine
promising fellows, as he had always re-
garded them; indeed, Ned was the star
pupil of his school. He had even
thought, with pity for them, that this
young sister would be a heavy burden
upon them. She had never been counted
among his brightest pupils. If he could
have seen Hope bending at night over
the family mending, while the boys were
deepin their studies, he might have knwon
why she always seemed a little dun and
slow at her books. But loi Here she
had risen up before him, like a fearless
little woman, and was challenging his

transpired that the hostiles had received
accessions to their number, and though
they abandoned the beef on the hOof,
they gave us about as good as they got
in the way of fighting.
When 1 asked our indian guide how it
was that they had not run and hid as he
predicted, he grinned and said: next
day see smoke. tell 'em only twenty
soldiers. - And then it leaked out that
there had been signal smokes by day as
well as the traditional pillar of fire by
night.
Now it may interest the bows to know
how an Indian signals with smoke:
When he wants TO attract attention,
give warning of an eneny's coming, tell
matter. He simply builds a brisk little
fire of perfectly dry sticks, so that there
is q hot flame and very little smoke; if
possible this is built in little hollow in
the ground. AS soon as he has got a
good hot fire with plenty OF Goals he
heaps on over this lot of green brush;
this, of course, raises a column of
heavy smoke. If the wind is not
blowing it rises straight in the air and
can be seen for miles and attracts the
Indian eye at once. Now to convey in
formation: he throws a blanket over his
brush heap; that checks the smoke, con-
fines it; then by suddenly lifting tina
blanket and letting a little puff of smoke
float in the air, covering it up again,
then letting another little puff, you can
readily see that. he can send up in separ-
ate puffs five, ten, fifteen or twenty lit
tie clouds of smoke, each one entirely
separate and distinct from the ether, and
each to an Indian eye visible for miles
and miles. In mountain country and in
wooded country this system of signals is

The rays of the morning sun fell
through the tall windows of a San Fran

through the dust laden air until they
reached corner where the speakers were
standing.
At their feet lay stretched a man of
unusual Stature and almost herculean
frame. He was laying on pile of shay
lngs, over which some sacklng had been
thrown. Body, limbs, muscles, even
the features of his face, might have been
fixed in an invisible frame of iron, so
rigid and motionless were they. Only the
brown eyes, large and gentle, looked
forth with piteous expression. telling
that human soul was still prisoned in
the helpless body.

and we could work for other people. OF
course we couldn't earn as much as
grown men and women, but then we
would not need SO much to eat. -
Mr.. Roberts listened gravely as she
unfolded her plan. Then he stole a
keen glance at the boys.
''And what do you say?''
He looked at Ned as he spoke. Martin
was glad that it was not he who had TO
answer, for he had n sneaking fondness
for sceool and the playground, and the
noise and whirl of the city. Ned an
swered in most resolute way:
81 am ready for anything that will
help US to keep together and get on in
the world, sir. Father always said that
little Hope had more sense than both of
US boys put together. -
He passed his arm protectingly about
his sister as he spoke. Mr.. Roberts rose
and took two or three turns around the
room in silence. 1t was the masters
way. When he stopped before them
again his face WAS animated with new
idea.
"Why don t you take up some land?"
he asked.

men belong to some association of that
sort. Danger of accident, you know.
That has its own hospital, and will take
care of HIM as long as he lives.
The physician turned to go. There
was plainly no money in this case; yet
one more question forced itself upon
him.
"Has he any family?'
The foreman IS face clouded.
HIS wife died last year, - he said, in
low voice. "There are three children.
He set store by them. Here they are
now
There they stood on the threshold of
the great shop, and, unconscIonsly, on
the threshold of a new life. Three chill
dren: two boys and u girl, with their
school satchels under their arms and a
look of anxiety and dread overcasting
their youthful faces.
The boys were the oldest, manly fell
lows of twelve and fifteen years. The
girl was year or so younger, q quiet
little creature, who shrank back at sight
of the strange men there; yet she was
the first TO go forward, as her eyes swept
the place and fell on the PROSTATE figure.
Silently and swiftly, like one accustomed
TO duties of the sick room, she sped
across the floor and kuelt beside her
father, chatting his rough hands between
her own. The boys followed and looked
helplesslY down upon him.
'What is the matter?'
Her white lips seemed TO shape the
words. The physician, lingering against
his will, answered shortly:
Paralysis. He must 90 to the hos
mtal. Z"
"Why not home? We can take of
him. He will get well sooner there.
1t was Ned, the eldest, who spoke.
The doctor turned away. The boy ap-
peSled to the foreman.
"You don't think-you don t mean
that father won't get well?''
Then the blow fell upon them, and fell
heavily, and many eyes grew dim at
sight of the children s grief.
The lips of the stricken man moved,
but only an inartioulate murmur es-
capped.
"He is trying to say something, :" de-
elared the foreman.
" 'Gatha, Agatha, is your name
Agatha?' he asked the child.
"No, sir; am Hope.
Z" Gather. Gather. That must be
the word. Gather what?'
Again the sick man made desperate
attempt to speak.
