The Little Hammock Builder.

Now here's a nest that is just the mic
est thing in the way of a comfortable,
cozy cradle for baby birds that know
of.
1t is hung like hammock, to slen-
der twig-you know how delightful Il
hammock is, don't you?- directly over
a stream, and is made of grass and
wool, or cotton taken from plants If
anything can be nicer, I'd like to see it.
The cradle is quite deep, you see; so
there's no danger of the babies tum-
bling over the edge. In fact, it is so
deep that the pretty little brown and
white mamma has to pack herself in
very snugly, This little hammock
maker lives in Australia, and his name
is Honey-Eater chats sweet name,
isn't ito; but he eats insects, and the
pollen of flowers, as well as honey.
You see how anXiously Papa Honey
Eater is peering into the nest. Proba-
bly, he is inquiring if his little mate is

Arrangements are being made to bring
! big crowd TO Topeka to witness the
tho inauguration OF Governor Morrill,.
The railroads have granted fiat rese
OF one fare for the round trip, open to
the public and the G. A. II.
In addition to this it is now proposed
to bring the entire Kansas National
Guard to participate in the ceremonies.
The railroads were asked to name o
rate for transporting the militia by
which it is proposed to place passen-
ger coach for the use of each company
at the station whore the companies are
located. The coach is to be used exclu-
sively by the members of the company,
the members to be allowed to sleep in
the car and to be taken to their homes
the next day after the inauguration.
There are thirty-one companies in all,
and Adiutant General Davis thinks il
would be good thing to got them all
to Topeka while the legislature is in ses-
sion. He says il the members could see
the young soldiers they would be more
likely to do something for them in the
way of appropriations.
Adjutant General Davis saws he does
not know who is going to pay the milf
tia transportation bill, but that it won't
cost the state anything.

Californin,s Wondert,nl Temnle.

In Southern California, in the Coun-
ty Of San Luis 0bispo, there is situated
one of the most remarkable prehistoric
monuments known to the archaeolo-
gists. From distance it looks like an
immense rock rising from the plains of
Carissa, but upon nearer approach it
is seen to be temple of extraordinary
dimensions and of unknown antiquity.
The inner court has level floor 225
feet long and 125 feet wide, and the
ceiling is from 60 to 100 feet high, ac-
cording to situation. The building was
evidently used by prehistoric man, but
for what purpose, and how long since,
no one knows. 1t has been suggested,
however, that it was either a temple Of
worship or the capitol of some ancient
government The walls and portions
of the ceiling are beautifully decorated
with paintings in colors red, white and
black, many of them supposed to have
some symbolic meaning. The colors
are apparently as bright as when first
laid on. The Indians Of that locality
are said to have no traditions concern.

In recent article on Coffee and Co
Goa, the eminent German chemist, Pro-
lessor Stutzer, speaking OF the Dutch
process Of preparing Cocoa by the adj
dition Of potash, and Of the process COM
month Germany in which ammonia is
added, says 1.-THE only result Of these
processes is to make the liquid appear
turbid to the eye Of the consumer, with
out effecting a real solution Of the Co
Goa substances. This artificial manipu-
lation for the purpose Of SO called solu-
bility is, therefore, more or less inspired
by deception, and always takes place at
the cost Of purity, pleasant taste, useful
action. and aromatic flavor. The treat
medt Of Cocoa by such chemical means
is entirely Objectionable. Cocoa treated
with potash or ammonia would be entirely
unstable but for the supplementary adj
dition Of artificial Aavors by which a
poor substitute for the aroma driven
out into the air is offered to the consum-
err" The delicious Breakfast Cocoa made
by WALTER BAKER e Co., Of Dorchester,
Mass, is absolutely pure and soluble.
No chemicals, or dyes OF artificial favors
are used in it.

Howorth's History.

a. story is told Of Sir Henry Howorth,
the author of well-known History Of
the MOngols," that he sat at dinner one
day next to lady whose mind seemed
full of the distress Of her pet dog, and
who bombarded Sir Henry with ques-
tons as to what should be done for
the animal.
Not being satisfied with his replies,
she finally expressed her great disap-
pointment at his ignorance, and re-
marked: "Well, Sir Henry, l must say

how to manage my little dog, particu-
larry as it is cross-bred-you who wrote

The question as to the mental and

net one that can in it's physical as
pect be answered arbitrarily, and /
prefer TO consider the physical side
flrst, for the sake of its antiJhesis,
writes Amelia e. Barr in the Ladies'
Home Journal. Climate, heredity,
const tutonal tendencies, the infu-
ences o. home, of nurses, Of teachers,
localities, and associations are all i'm
portant factors, and exert influences
on maturity so variable as to be be-
Yond estimating. But it is quite safe
to say that in temperate climates

stances, woman is physically at her
