A lady who spends her summers at the
seaside has collected about a bushel,
more or less, Of small, almost fiat, thin,
yellow shells, which abound at SO many
points ON the coast. With these she this
year fashioned portiere that is novel
and pretty beyond description. Each
shell is pierced with hot wire and then
strung on a delicate wire so that the
narrow end Of one is next to the wide
end of the other. A number Of strings
were made in this way long enough to
reach from the floor TO the curtain pole,
where they were securely fastened to a
strip Of plantation cloth of the same
shade as the shells. Through the fret
work above this curtain is draped a
length Of sea green india silk, falling half
way to the floor on the right side.
a less ambitious woman has made a
curious scarf by sewing these shells In
artistic confusion ON either end Of a
length Of nile green silk, putting here
and there bits Of golden green seaweed.
A fringe is made for each end by string
ing shells on green embroidery silk in
stead of wire. e.-New York Letter.

There are about $4,000 livings in Eng

It is among the remaining 4,500 livings

No doubt the majority Of these 4,500
livings never come into the market, and
belong to patrons who recognize their
responsibility. What fraction of them
have been acquired as to patronage or
ncumbency by means more or less taint-

are 593 livings where the incumbent and
the patron are the same person and 424
where both are of the same name. A
considerable proportion of the parson
patrons have, it can hardly be doubted,
become patrons in order to present them
selves. On the other hand, some Of the
593 and large number of the 424 repre-

Some birds will forsake their nests il
30 much as a finger is placed within, but
others, suspicious that their secret has
been discovered, seek TO hide them more
sfficaciously by admirably ingenious
plans. Among the thick fern growth of
bank wood warbler had woven a
oest. The bird had evidently selected
this bank because of the quantity of
dead leaves scattered and heaped there
on, the tawny crispness Of these CORE
spending nicely with the domed edifce,
thereby rendering discovery almost i'm.
possible. But the fine quality of the
ferns led to its detection. Tugging at
the frail fronds, kindly disposed lady
scared the sitting warbler, which few
with plaintive call to an adjacent bough,
and there exhibited signs of distl ess.
The lover of nature could not resist
peep at the cozy home, which at a
glance appeared like shapeless mass Of
dead leaves and grasses. Some few
days after, walking through the same
wood, she was again attempted to pay
the little wood bird a visit. Puzzled
and surprised, she could not find its
whereabouts, but few minutes search
revealed an alteration from the original
mode. The cunning bird had blocked
up the old entrance and covered that
side Of the nest with dead leaves, break.
