position.
sit is very strange that Americans
who would not be received in the most
commonplace houses of their own coun-
try think that their money will open all
doors on this side of the Atlantic. An
American parvenue had the bad taste tc
wear the diamond necklace once owned
by Empress Eugene to reception given
by Princess Bonaparte. What is hel
idea? was the question asked by the
French people. Does she think of show
ing her hostess that if the Bonapartes
have lost throne and power she has gold
enough to buy the jewels that once adorn
ed the beautiful empress? Perhaps this
same American will some day find {

Rirhs, Nests and POETRY.

Birds nests have attracted the attention
OF inQuisitive genius from the days of Arls-
totle down to the present time. This is not
wonderful, because the nests are invarl-
ably curious and often beautiful. besides
Offering Il cradle, as it were, for host OF
romantic speculations and poetical theo-
ries. Imagination has taken hold Of hlrdS
and their nests with singular affection,
drawing forth meantime some beautiful
legends to enrich romance withal and to
add to the sum Of what is most persistent
in the song of mankind.
The ancieuts told that the halcyon, a
beautiful aquatic bird, had its nest on the
seas breast, a Ii, le floating palace, around
which the water was always calm and
sweet. Halcyon. or alcyon, was the king
fisher. it is supposed; but we now know
every species of this bird, and none OF them
builds its nest to drift about on the sea,
Indeed. as if to make the contrast of fact
with fancy as great as possible, most OF the
kingfshers dig deep holes in the ground
for their homes. Thompson in

In the Ukraine, Russia, the woman does
all the courting When she falls in love
with man she goes to his house and in
forms him of the state of her feelings. II
he reciprocates all is well, and the formal
marriage is duly arranged. If, however,
he is unwilling. she remains there, hoping
to coax him to better mind. The poor
fellow cannot treat her with the least dis
courtesy, nor has he the consolation of be-
ing able to turn her out, as her friends in
such a case would feel bound TO avenge the
insult. His remedy therefore, if deter
mined not to marry her, is to leave his
home and stay away as long as she is in
it. A similar practice to that in the
Ukraine exists among the Zuni tribe of In
dians. The woman does all the courting
and also controls the situation after mar
riage. To her belong all the children, and
descent, including Inheritance, is also on
her side.-Baltimore Herald.

A baby in the countryis under the best
conditions possible to resist the effects of
the heat. Yet the mother should be at
ways prepared for emergencies. Before
leaving them she should procure few
powders of pepsin and bismuth, or any
simple remedy for Indigestion, with full
directions for its use. She should take
with her also bottle of lime water and
another of pancreatin, or one of the other
preparations for peptonizing milk The
purity of milk is always open to question,
because it absorbs germs so readily. That
used for baby should be sterilized to
make it perfectly safe.
This can be done in the morning and
evening by putting the milk, fresh from
the COW, in bottles of a size to hold
enough for one meal each. Place these
in a saucepan filled with cold water and
set it on the stove where it will heat
gradually. After the water boils for 4
short time cork the bottles and let them
remain in it for half an hour. Remove
from the stove, and when the water is
cool take out the bottles. If no ice is t.
be had stand them in stone jar contain
ing water, and wrap the jar in wet flan
mel, or put it in brook in shady place
When bottle is opened and all the mill
is not used throw away the remainder

Of all the extraordinary scientific expert

use of to carry out very curious expert
