sides; the back is rufous brown and tho
two outer tail feathers pure white,
showing when the bird flies. In vest
ern Oregon it is a winter visitant, ar
irving with the first cool days of au-
tumn. As winter approaches these snow
birds become moro plentiful, hopping
about in the small bushes searching for
food. Great pleasure may be found in
studying their habits, especially when
the ground is covered with snow. By
throwing bread crumbs on the snow the
little fellows flock around and are easily
tanned. Their only note in winter is q
sort of chirp, sometimes uttered several
times in succession when alarmed. With
the warm days of spring they begin
their song, sometimes many singing at
once, and soon the majority disappear
to a higher altitude to breed.
This bird nests in hollows in tho
ground under low bushes, the nest be-
ing built flush with the surface and in
holes among the roots of bushes and
trees and under wood piles. The nest is
made of dry grasses rather loosely put
together with a lining of COW hair, and
contains four and sometimes five hand
some greenish-white eggs, spotted and
wreathed with purple.-American Agri-

Small Madeline is something of a
humorist, and has no very pronounced
religious tendencies, but the other day
she came home from church in a highly
pleased frame of mind.

ought to have been to church to-day.

is fled to the white house, given to the
executive clerk and transmitted to the
senate.
The executive clerk is o. T.. Pruden.
His full name is euphonious and altiso-
nant; it is Octavius Leonidas Pruden.
When he was boy at school the young
people called him "Tave." He was
private secretary to President Hayes,
and has been in the public service at
the white house for many years. Dur
ing the administration of President
Arthur he was made executive clerk
and was retained in that office by Pres
idents Cleveland and Harrison. He will
probably continue in the service for an
indefinite period of time
At the hour of noon, when the senate
is in session, Mr.. Pruden takes a large
square leather portfolio, places all nom
nations in it, enters the white house
coupe, and is driven to the capitol. He
also carries with hum list of
the nominations. duplicated upon

resentative of the president by grasping
his hand, and then, facing the vice
president. he bows low. and announces:
"a message from the president OF the
United Ststes."

The Better Part.

The dislike of being outdonc by an.
other is probably no stronger in child
hood than in maturer age, but the con-
ventionalities which restrain man
from giving utterance to his thoughts
place no check upon the c1ild's tongue.
Two little girls had been ''playing
dolls on the floor, when one, becoming
weary, threw aside the dress on which
she had been sewing, climbed upon the
piano stool and played a simple tune
which she had been taught. AS she
finished she turned and said in a boast
full tone to the other, who still continued
sewing:
''Say, Flossie, my mamma says I've
got a fine ear for music.''
Flcssie was sober for a moment; then
she answered in an equally confident
tone:
'Well, p'r'aps haven't got a fine ear
for music; but I've got a fine ear for
sewing, anyway!'

the Pacific coast region from California

He then hands the nominations to Capt.

PARIS, March 30. After somewhat
ministers proceeded TO the Elysee and ten
pered their resignation to President Caruot.
The president had long interview with the
members of the cabinet and urged them 10
reconsider their determination. His nrgu-
ments were liz vain, however, and the min
listers insisted that their designations must
DE accepted.
1t is runored that NJ. Develle, minister
I OF foreign affairs in the Ribot cabinet, Will
be asked by President Carnott TO form u
ministry.
The ministry that has resigned has held
Office for only about 1 weeks. Ever since
this ministry came into power tho oppo-
neDts of the government had sought an op-
rortunity TO overthrow it, on account OF
the Panama scandal, but in vain. The ad-
verse ma jurity Of five votes cast 10y the
Chamber to-day on the liquor amendment,
was more or less a surprise to the govern
ment
Among certain political groups there are
those who charge that the downfall of the
government was due not 30 much to tho
decision of tho Chamber 10 retain liquor
amendments, as to apprebend complication
growing out of the acceptance by NJ. Ribot
OF the offer OF NJ. Andrisux, ex-prefect of
police, to place Anton, the Panama go-be-
tween, under arrest within a week. 1t is
charged IN some quarters that the govern
ment was afraid that Andrieux would full
MI his promise. and that the revelations
Arton would be compelled to make would
prove fatal to the ministry.
