Protective Coloring Employed by Birds
In Nest Building.

Protective Coloring Employed by Birds
In Nest Building.
The first birds nest that examined
this year Qs05), was that of the least
fiycatcher. i saw her building it in
the crotch of birch limb. carrying
thither no end of slender, stingy stuff,
-fibers of weeds and hairs and even
tearing some of the strings from a
last-year's vireos nest to aid in the
construction. Last of all the little
lady carried a number of feathers to
the crotch, and the singular fact about
this was that the feathers were by no
means soft and dowpy. The least
one ! saw was an inch long, and it had
q stiff quill. The nest having been
completed and time allowed for
her to lay her eggs, i made
shift by means of ladder to get up to
the nest Four pure white eggs lay on
soft bed of down plucked from the
birds own breast, but the large feath-
ers that had been carried there were
woven into the mass Of the nest in such
way that they formed rufile about
it's brim. The stiff quilts in two cases
projected into the cup of the nest. but
they were above the line OF the eggs.
Plainly, the down at the bottom was
to protect the eggs. The stiff quilted
feathers made the nest harder, if any
thing, for the mother. What, then,
was the ruffie for if not for ornament?
OF all the nests that birds build there
is none that seems to show stronger
desire to use protective colorings than
does that of the phoebe. The
phoebe ordinarily chooses a little
shelf on the face of some overhang-
ing rock and there constructs her home
of MOSES strengthened with other
fibrous things. 1t is lovely bit of
work and so much like patch of moss
growing on the rock that one may
look directly at it and not recognize it
as a nest. AS built there it is in per-
feet harmony with it's surroundings.
But sometimes the phoebe builds in
sheds and about country bridges that
are infreauently used, and then even
when building on lumber fresh from
the saw she uses the same MOSES al
though they are in bright contrast
with the background of the nest. Ger
tainly the MOSES are not of protec-
tive color there, but they are always
beautiful to the eye wherever used

them like the runners Of sleigh.
The whole weight of the car struck
the corner of the coal cart and flung it
from the tracks. The wagon fairly
surged up in the air and came down on
its side. with the man underneath il
and the horse still in the shafts.
Neither man nor horse stirred after

said.
The conductor nodded and pulled the
bell twice and the car swept away.
The only passengers were three ladies,
who probably did not know what had
happened.
Tom was not hundred feet away
when the thing happened. His horror
at the sight itself was not greater than
his astonishment and anger when the
car moved on. For the first time in his
life he would have liked to have some

He rushed up to the cart cxcitedly.

His legs were strained past bearing,

and then shut his lips tight as the
wheel almost slipped from his grasp.

shot up in the air. A moment later
the girl had pulled the coal man out
OF danger.
Tom thanked the girl a best he
could and then, utterly at the end of
his strength, sank right down where
he was in the mud and dirt. 1t seemed
as if he could never move again.

IL was too much. Tom thought he
would rather have died than see such
a thing happen. He could not hold up
such load for more than few mo-
mcnts, and it would kill the man when
1t fell. No one was in sight. He could
not move, not muscle, or he would
have to let go. Oh, IL he had only let

cried; and then, as the man did not
move: Help! help!" he yelled. There's

There was only one house near
enough TO send him aid in time, and
he directed his cries at that. There
were lights in the windows, but no
one seemed to stir to help him. At last
the strain became SO great that he
could shout no longer. He clenched
his teeth and resigned himself to de-
spair.
A door slammed. He looked up at
the house and saw girl running down

said
Tom was gasping. Great drops OF
sweat ran down his face. His feet

FEAST OF .CoRPUs CHRISTI.
A Brilliant Ceremonial at the Catholic
Cathedral.

The solemnity of the feast of Corpus
Christi was appropriately observed yes
terday at the Cathedral of the hmm acu-
late Conception and St Dominic's church.
This festival which commentaries
the institution of the blessed sacrament
and the belief in the real presence of
Jesus Christ therein, is one of the great
est days in the church calendar
High mass was celebrated at the Cathe-
dral at 1870 O'Clock a. m., by Rev. M. c.
McDonough, assisted by Rev Fathers Gil
fillen and Collins. Father McDonough
preached an eloquent sermon. At the
same hour high mass was celebrated at
st. Dominic's by Rev. f. f. Hurley and
assistant. The music in both churches
dered.
In the afternoon at 5 O'Clock in the
Cathedral there were solemn vespers,
benediction and procession of the
blessed sacrament. The church was bril-
liantly illuminated and the sanctuary
presented magnificent spectacle. The
procession moved solemnly down the
main aisle headed by the cross-bearer and
some 80 altar boys, then followed about
30 little boys of the parochial school neat
ly attired in white suits, and about 100
girls dressed in white and carrying
flowers. Next came the Montgomery
Guards, commanded by Capt. Hogan and
Lieut. McGillicuddy; the Sheridan Rifles,
Capt. Conley; Uniform rank, AO.H,
Capt M. E. Ragan and Lieut.. James A
'ONeal. Following the military divi-
sion were the clergy, Rev. NJ. G. McDon-
ough, acting as master of ceremonies, Rev.
e. E. Hurley and assistant Rev Fathers
O'Brien. Gilf1llen and Collins The
clergy Immediately preceded the Rt.
Rev. Bishop Healey, who bore the blessed
sacrament under rich canopy carried by
four young men.
Benediction was given from the three
altars. Bishop Healey preached a mas
terly sermon on the real presence, and at
the close of the services thanked the mil
itary companies who participated.
