Birds Tint Can Sew.

Birds Tint Can Sew.
Sewing seems so ingenious an art
that it must be reserved for the human
species alone. Yet the tailor bird, the
Orthotomus lonSicauda, and other spc-
cies possess the elements Of it. They
place their nests in 4 large leaf which
they prepare to this end. With their
beaks they pierce two rows Of holes
along the lower edges Of the leaf; they
then pass stout thread from one side
to the other alternately. With this
leaf. at first fiat, they form horn in
which they weave their nest with cot
ton or hair. These labors Of weaving
and sewing are preceded by the spin
ming of the thread. The bird makes
it itself by twisting in its beak spiders
webs. bits Of cotton and little ends OF
wool. Sykes found that the threads
used for sewing were knottAl ut the
ends.-Popular Science Monthly.

Growing Alfalfa.

Just now there is much inquiry going
tho rounds as to proper methods to be
employed in the starting of stand Of
alfalfa. In reply to an inquiry along
this line from q Nebraska correspond
ent Prof. Charles E. Bessey has written
as follows.
IN the growth of alfalfa 1t Is nee
cssary first Of all to take very great
pains to fit the soil for the young
plants. The ground must be rich and
mellow. Unless 1t has had legumes
growing upon 1t, 1t should be treated
to q good quantity Of barnyard manure
in order to supply the soil with availa.
BILE nitrogen. Then, when the alfalfa
has obtained a foot hold, 1t will there
after supply itself with all the nitrogen
it needs.
Prepare the ground with great care
and have it like a garden as to mel
lowness and freedom from clods. Sow
the seed as early as possible in the
spring, but do not SOW 1t on another
crop, as we generally do with clover.
1t is well to sow q peck or so of oats
per acre with the alfalfa simply to
afford little shade to the young plants.
Since the field ought to last many years
when once a good stand is secured 1t
will pay to take great pains with It.
Do not try to seed too large field ut
once, but begin with few acres, SO us
to give these the greatest care and add
10 the area each year. In this way sue-
cess Is reasonably certain. But do not
attempt it without seeing that the soil
is rich In heterogeneous matter. Put ON
barnyad manure freely."-Nebrasl49

An account of the striking
changes which the great lava lake
in Kilauea has undergone this
year, appears in the Hawaiian
Gazette. The lava steadily rose
after the last great breakdown Of
the floor Of the crater in March,
1891, when an area Of $500 feet
long, by 1000 wide, fell more than
500 feet in one night. Toward the
end of last year, the rising and
overlooking Of the lake filed the
pit thus produced. Since that
time the activity Of the lake has
been intense, as many as twenty
three overdows Of liquid lava hay
ing taken place in a single day,
and the walls surrounding the
lake have been rapidly raised by
continual overflows.

This IS indeed a strange pheno-
menon for the consideration of
national wool growers associations.
Prices of foreign woods have de-
clined about 40 per cent, while
prices Of domestic woods have adj
vanced about 10 per cent during
the last two months.
In discussing the New York
market the Reporter says: "There
is considerable nibbling, but few
heavy bites. $50 The trouble
is that holders are firm in their
views and not in mood for grant
ing concessions-and they are JUS
titled in being firm" The Dry
Goods Economist of two days later
veri6es these predictions. It says:
"Priees remain firm and trans
actions are large but well distrib-
uted. Domestic woods are receiv-
ing considerable attention and are
selling well. There has been a de-
cided increase in inquiries for for
eign woods, with some transactions
of Importance. There is a feeling
of confidence throughout the trade
and some predict higher values
The result thus far is in exact
accord with the democratic claim
and directly contrary to the pre-
dictions of the Wool Growers
National Association. The Ohio
prophets met again a few days ago
and passed some direful resolu
tions, which, as they are based
upon theories and are contrary to
the facts now demonstrated, will
have no weight with the voters
this fall. After having deceived
him SO often, protectionists ought
to be ashamed to look an honest
sheep in the face.-New York

The Ration Range pretends to
believe that Hon. Antonio Joseph
received the democratic nomina-
ton for the delegateship because
no n else wanted it. The Range
knows better than this. MI.
Joseph was nominated because he
was the popular favorite with the
rank and file of the democracy in
this Territory, and for the reason
that Mr.. Joseph is in e position to
do more for the Territory at the
coming session of congress than
any other man In the Territory.
Joseph's unpopularity has been a
sweet morse! for the republicans,
for the last ten years. but somehow
their candidate has always come
out behind him in the race for
delegate. Roswell Record.

has to admit that: The growth

in the east is not any
premeditated action for political
effect. 1t is the honest expression
of opinion of honest men, and
their number is bound to be
greater. Bimetallism is coming
to the front simply because it is
right. It has been neglected and
passed by, just as every other
great principle has been passed
over, until the crisis arose. But
the handspring has been touched,
and bimetallism is on the progress
siye from now until its fual sue

In the gardens adjoining the

canes which have a most wonder
full history. They were grown
from seeds found in the stomach
of a man who had been buried a
depth of 30 feet in one of the many
~'barrows'' or old-time burial
mounds in North Britain. From
data furnished by the coins found
with the skeleton it is believed
that the berries which furnished
the seeds were eaten not less than

The State Muster.

Adjutant General Conner is now de-
batting whether he will call the state
militia into camp on the state muster
ground on Saturday, August IL, before
muster week. The National Guard have
expressed their willingness to enter
camp on that day and remain until
the following Friday for five days pay,
which they would get if they went in
Monday and remained until Friday. The
question is whether the transportation
and pay roll being the same, the state
can afford the expense of the five extra
meals, zone Saturday night, three Sunday,
and one Monday morning, which would
have to be served. The men would get
SO much additional service and practice.
Saturday afternoon they will have a
grand mount and dress parade, and on
Sunday the programme would inclu de-
religious services, dress parade, and
possibly band concert in the evening.

SLIPPERY POLAND.
A Portland officer and a Trunk Are On the
Way to Meet Noted Androscoggin
County Offender.

Officer Sparrow of the Portland police,
has gone to New Hampshire in quest of
the notorious Poland boys, Henry .and
George, against whom twenty-five indict-
ments are pendingb in Androscoggin coun-
ty. George Poland has lately beens leading
the Androscoggin officers a lively race.
Havingsbeen arrested for ssliquor selling and
stealing he broke out OF Auburn Jail about
two weeks ago,and escaped. Last Monday
morning Poland was seen on the Portland
and Rumford Falls railroad heading towards
the town of Poland
Sheriff True was at oncegnotified and sthe
station agent at Poland was instructed by
telegraph to shave HIM arrested when he
arrived therefor they p1esumedathat was
his destination.
The agent at once secured the aid of two
men who We're haying in a nelgboring field,
andwhen they got back to the depot Poland
was just disappearing through one of the
doorways, So they cautiously approached
the doors on either side of the station and
Mr.. Poland was caught like bird in a cage.
When Sheriff True arrived he procured
covered 1.-TWO seated carriage, and with an
other man mounted the hind seat with Po-
land between them and started down the
line. They had gone but little way when
Poland, who had peacefully submitted to
arrest, jumped from between Sheriff True
and. the other gentleman, to the ground,
leaving his coat in his grasp, and took for
the woods escaping them after one.of the
slickest criminal captures on record.
Since that day Poland has beensat large.
The other day it was ascertained that his
trunk was in Union station, Portland, and
the police here kept an eye on it. Yester-
day an order was received to send the
trunk to New Boston, small place near
Manchester. N. H., The trunk was for
waEded, and on the same train went Officer
Sparrow. He was forced to remain in Man
chester with the trunk last night, and will
probably follow it to New Boston this fore
noon. Unless Poland is suspicious, he will
probably be captured. 1t is thought also
that his brother Henry may also be cap
tured there.

Days With the Birds.

Mrs. Kate Tryon will give her lecture
at the Ottawa. house Saturday afternoon
at three O'Clock. Portland people may
take the 2.15 boat and return at 4,45
O'Clock. For the first time for four years
Mrs. Tryon will have an opportunity of
speaking near her home and meeting To-
cal students and lovers of nature
Though she will deal partly with birds
that have built their nests and are sing
Ing in our own trees, like the hermit
thrush. song sparrow, gold finch and
Peabody bird, her back grounds will
often be Cambridge, Concord, the Ne W.
tons and Middlesex Falls, her limitations
of notes, those usually chosen, and her
water color illustrations, her own indi-
viduaiistic, original work; so that very
good idea will be given of the lecture by
which she has won her wide reputation.
