Birds and Their Nests.

Some birds will ~forsake their nests if
so much as finger is placed within, but
others, suspicious that their secret has
been discovered, seek to hide them more
efficadously by admirably ingenious
plans. Among the Trick fern growth of
q bank wood warbler had woven o.
nest. The bird had evidently selected
this bank because of the quantity of
dead leaves scattered and heaped there
on, the tawny crispness Of these corre-
spending nicely with the domed edifce,
thereby rendering discovery almost i'm
possible. But the fine quality of the
ferns led to it's detection. Tugging at
the frail fronds, a kindly disposed lady
scared the sitting warbler, which few
with plaintivecall to an adjacent bough,
and there exhibited signs of distress.
The lover of nature could not resist a
peep at tho 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 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
ing O doorway through on the opposite
side.-London Tit-Bits.

English Livfngs.

There arc about ID, 900 livings in Eng
land and Wales. OF these nearly Z 500
are in the gift Of the crown, Prince of
Wales, lord chancellor, bishops, chap
ters, archdeacons, universities, rectors
and Wears (as such) and trustees. About
1900 others are in the patronage (as to
1,40O) of peers and (as to the rest) of 9TH
er titled persons. Although now and
again q nobleman's livings are sold, and
even distinguished colleges have been
caught tripping in the matter of simony.
It is among the remaining 4,500 livings
that almost all the traffic exists. Statis-
tics fail US here.
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
incumbency by means more or less taint-
ed.it is impossible to say. The 'clergy
list for 1899, however, shows, that there
are 593 livings where tho 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,
patrons in order to present them
selves. On the other hand. some of the
593 and large number Of the 494 repre-
sent Tfamily livings," AS to these, it
would be inaccurate to say that the liv-
ing has been bought for the sake of the
parson, but in many cases the parson
has been ordained for the sake of the
iving.-Contemporary Review.

Named After Baby Ruth.

Named After BABY Ruth.
In Sixteenth street there exists mill
tary organization known as the Baby
Ruth guards. 1t is composed of about
20 little boys, the Oldest of them from ap-
pearances not more than 0 years of age,
while the youngest is probably barely 0.
Their uniform is not elaborate, but emf
nently correct, and their firearms are Of
the reversible pattern which enables
them to use either end for stock or rnuz-
zle, as they choose. Their great forte is
their marching, and they do this in a
manner which would reflect credit on the
best drilled regulars ever stationed at
Fort MyerA
The only serious handicap under which
the young citizen soldiers suffer is their
size, for one of the members owns a large
st. Bernard dog which he cannot always
induce to stay at home during parade
time, and when the dog insists on march,
ing with the company apd ,thrusts him
self into the middle of the ranks the
privates on one side of him have great
difficulty in seeing over his back and
finding out whether they are properly
dressed" with the privates on the other
side.-Kate Fields Washington.

A Portiere Made of Shells.

A lady who spends her summers at the
seaside has collected about bushel,
more or less, of small, almost fat, 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 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 tho shells. Through the fret
work above this curtain is draped a
length of sea green india siH,, 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 q
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.-New York Letter.

In a London stoFe, there is ON exhibi-
tion a dolls house which is the most won
derful that ever was made. 1t is q large,
substantial building made of wood,swith

Worrying Over Trifies,

"My young friend Seth Blooty," said
Colonel Calliper, ''was healthy and
wealthy, and he had nothing to do but
to get as much enjoyment out of life as

Just then great-grandmother came in.
'Why, where's the baby?" she asked,
looking from the empty bedstead to her
husband.
Great-grandfather did not wait to
answer her. He then seized those firmly
tied. knots and united them in great
hurry, and there lay the baby safe
and still sleeping. Great-grandmother
snatched her to her breast and held her
close.
''Your coming in juet now WAS -prov1-
