that many of the entrances alone wero
visible, the nest itself being built round
by others"
Mr.. Gould has given the accompany
ing remarks on the species as noticed
by him in Australia:
81 observed it throughout the dis
trict of the Upper Hunter, as well as in
every part of the interior, breeding in
various localities, wherever suitable
situations presented themselves; sonse-
times their nests are constructed in the
cavities of decayed trees; while not in
frequently clusters of them are at
tachcd to the perpendicular banks Of
rivers, the sides of rocks, ETC., general
ly in the vicinity of water. The long
bottle-shaped nest is composed of mud
or clay, and, like that of our common
martin, is only worked at in the morn
ing and evening, unless the day be wet
and showery. In the constructing of
the nests these birds appear to work in
small companies, six or seven assisting
in the formation of each nest, one re-
naming within and receiving the mud
brought by the others in their mouths;
in shape their nests are nearly round,
but vary in size from four to six or
seven inches in diameter; the spouts Of
some being eight or nine inches In
length. Good Words.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet

less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
In the form most acceptable and pleas

beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug

huntsman, who has been cunning
ip the territory lying south of Sweet
water Dam and along the north slopes
Of San Miguel mountain, comes back
with story of more than usual inter
est While there he came across He
man c. Cooke, of this city, who has a
geological. if not a real, mining incli-
nation, and another man. They are at
work on what has already proved to be
something OF a surprise, and which
may eventually prove to be a very
large sized sensation.
1t appears that in some way Cooke
learned that an ancient road had been
discovered leading from the river level
on the north side to a point near the
summit of San Miguel. He decided to
Investigate, but chiefly for entertain
ment at first He took a pick and
shovel, established a camp and pre-
pared to make a thorough job of it. As
he progressed his interest increased,
for he soon discovered that below the
shifting surface of the mountain side
and under the debris of vegetation a
solid roadbed, well defined and
thoroughly built, ext sted. In places
were large trees, indicating its great
age. This road was followed well up
into the mountains, and on the way
several branch roads leading off to
different spurs were easily traced. All
along these roads in places Cooke found
pieces of broken rock, which have
given what he believes is the clew to
the construction of the road. He had
some specimens crushed which assayed
well in gold and silver.
This was also supported by the fact
that several implements of manifestly
ancient make have been found, which
are believed to be mining tools Cooke
thinks he has traced the road to the
end, and at that point has found
mound which he believes is the dump
from a shaft or tunnel, and his present
work is to find the opening which will
lead to the mine. He believes it's dis
covery is not far distant, as he has
narrowed it down TO possible space
of about two hundred feet square.
The conclusion is that this is an
ancient and rich mine, or the road
would not have been made The dis
coveries are said to be more interest
ing to Cooke because more than once
he has dreamed OF discovering a noun
tain of gold and silver, with tools all
at hand for taking out the metal. -

most singular instances of bird archi-
lecture that has yet come under my

DR.. E. P. Ramsay has also given an
account of the species in the Wide
Bay districts: 1.-THE rock warbler is a
very pleasing and lively little bird, and
seems to love solitude. l have never
seen it perch on tree, although have
spent several evenings in watching it..
1t runs with rapidity over the ground,
and over heaps of rubbish left by floods,
where it seems to get good deal of its
food. Sometimes it will remain for a
minute on the point of rock, then, as
if falling over the edge, it will repeat
its shrill cry, and dash off into some
hole in the cliffs.
"The nest is of an oblong form, very
large for the size of the bird, with an
entrance in the side about two inches
wide. 1t is generally suspended under
'OHAS wi iiSiLE AOShS anu 10 COlll-
posed of fibrous roots interviewer with
spiders webs; the bird evincing a pref
erence for those webs which contain
the spiders eggs, and that are of a
greenish color. The moss does not as
sumo the shape of nest until a few
days before it is completed, when a
hole for entrance is made, and the in
side is warmly lined with feathers; but

The Nebraska agricultural expert
ment station has issued a bulletin
from which the following practical
conclusions are drawn: Grafting-wax
proves better than soil or COW manure
in application to injuries from mice
and rabbits. Trees in cultivated
ground have darker and more vigorous
foliage than those in sod ground, with
less following, dropping of leaves or
willing in hot, windy days. Apples
averaged IA per cent. greater weight
on cultivated than on pasture land,
and II per cent greater than on
moved land. AS to moisture, for every
100 barrels of water in 20 inches depth
Of soil on sod land, there were lao In

Animal Humbues Are Numerous.

In military stables horses are known
to have pretended to be lame, in order
to avoid going to a military exercise.
A chimpanzee had been fed on cake
when sick; after his recovery he often
feigned coughing in order to procure
dainties. The cuckoo, as is well
known, lays its eggs in another birds
nest, and, to make the deception surer.
1t takes away one of the other bird S
eggs. Animals are conscious of their
deceit, as shown by the fact that they
try to act secretly and noiselessly; they
show a sense of guilt if detected; they
take precautions in advance to avoid
discovery; in some cases they manifest
regret and repentance. Thus bees
which steal hesitate often before and
after exploits, as if they feared punish
ment. A naturalist describes how his
monkey committed theft. While he
pretended to sleep the animal regarded
him with hesitation and stopped every
time his master moved or seemed on
the point of awakening.

stable of fifteen cows, he would run
under it and back to the stalls a fresh
air box three feet square, open at both
ends outside the building, with four
upright pipes two feet square at
regular intervals running up through
and a few inches above the floor, all
openings to be covered with wire net
ting. This insures a constant supply
of fresh, cool air, and does away with
the danger of the much dreaded draft.
The germ of tuberculosis dies in sun
light, hence a stable cannot be too
light and airy. 1t should be con-
structed so as to be easily and
thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
The modern idea is to have cows in
ell or stable separate from barn, well
lighted on both sides, cement floors,
manure wheeled out and spread on
land daily; row of cows on each side,
so as to be fed from the middle floor.
A partition between the cows heads is
certainly a desirable improvement

FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
A SURE CURE.


When the snow begins to fall
On the lawns and tree-tops tall,
And the blizzard is clustering through the
the slow old village street,
Then HE me from my bed,
And get cut my old boo-sled.
And polish up the runners till they shine
like glistening sleet.
When they ring the breakfast-bel,
Iannounce am not we'll,
And 1 sigh and say I'm tired, and am simply
Just worn OUT
And my mother says she thinks,
As my weary eyelid blinks,
That I'd best not go to school to-day there
isn't any doubt
But by ten o'clock 1 feel
So recovered that an eel
Gould not give me any points on moving con-
stantly around,
All the pain deserts my head,
And take the old bob-sled,
Ana am shortly wh1zzing with it DER the
snow-incrus ted ground.
Whence think It's very plain
That to cure a small boys pain
And to get him back to health without an
ache within his head,
There is not dose or pill
That so fully fills the bill
As good old well-packed snowfall, and
