Interesting story of n PrOIOnEe
Fight for Bird House.

Fight for u BIRD House.
"One spring." said a lover of birds,
"there came to a bird house in my gar
| den a pair of great crested fly-catchers.
! ! had a dozen bird houses scattered
around. This particular one was about
foot square, with peaked roof and
chimney at each end, doorway for the
birds to go in and out and a couple of
auger holes bored through the back to
give the house light and air.
This bird house the summer before
bad been occupied by pair of blue
birds, who had left their nest behind
catchers pulled apaT and threw out of
The house; every twig and straw; they
cleaned the house out completely; and
then they brought in everything new,
and built a nest of their own, and set
tied down comfortably for the summer.
"But in few days pair of bluebirds
came along and they made for this
house. 1t might have been the identical
pair of bluebirds that occupied it the
summer before; l don't know about
that; though have no doubt that rob-
ms and other birds that have been
south for the winter, hundreds of miles
away, do come back in the spring to
the same places, and to the same trees.
Anyhow, this pair of bluebirds wanted
that bird house, and they were ready to
fight for it, and that is what they did.
The fy-catcher is nice little bird and
q pretty plucky sort of fighter, but
not match for the bluebird. They had
grand roundup inside the house, and
finally the bluebirds pitched the fly
catchers out; and later they pitched out
every stick of furniture that the fly
catchers had brought in, cleaned the
house out entirely, and then brought in
fresh material and built a new nest ac-
cording to their own ideas, and they
settled down for the summer.
"Well, a few days after that, pair of
wrens came along and they took fancy
to that particular bird house, too; and
they sailed right in and tackled the blue
birds on the spot. You couldn't see the
fight from the ground, but every now and
then you could see a straw or feather
shoot out of the front door of the house
The bluebird is good, sound fighter,
but the wren is better one, and the up
shot was that the wrens fairly put the
bluebirds out and took possession of the
bird hoIse themselves. And then the
wrens did just what the others had
done; they pitched out every scrap of
stuff in the bird house, just tumbled it
put of the door, to fall on the ground;
and then they brought in new stuff and
built a nest for themselves.
Nobody molested the wrens. They
stayed there and raised their young
there; and in the fall they all flew away
ard left the bird house again deserted
for the winter."-N. Y. Sun.

duty, besides waking his master in the
morning, to take his dinner to him in a
little pail every day. Should Mrs. Peter

ter, the dog is sure to remind her in
proper time by bringing the pail to her
and urging her to fill it. At first it was
supposed to be the dogs intuition which
enabled him to know the hour, but he
has many times been seen watching
the clock, and once, when Mrs. Peterson
set the hands ahead to test the matter,
Nick brought the dinner pail promptly

it was only II o'clock.

CAPTURING AN EAGLE.
How a Young Bird Was Caught for n
Pet In Arizona.

Pet In Arizona.
In ST. Nicholas Wolcott lie Clear
Beard writes of Moses: A Tame
Eagle" one of his pets while he was
engaged in engineering in southern
Arizona. Mr.. Beard gives the follow
ing account of its capture:
saw on the rounded top of one of the
giant cactus with which these deserts
are thickly studded an eagle the like of
which, though familiar with the fowls
of that region, had never before seen;
And l may here add that we never did
with any certainty discover the species
to which she belonged. rode near to
get better view, but she desired no
closer acquaintance; for. after unfold
ing her wings once or twice in hest
tating sort of manner rs approached,
she finally spread them and few heav-
fly away. couple of pistol shots from
the wagon having only the effect of in
creasing her speed. The cactus on
which she had been resting was a very
fair sample of the largest variety in
the world of that interesting plant.
OF the thickness of n mans body, 1t
rose straight from the ground, beau
tiful fluted column of vivid apple-green,
to height of IS feet, where cluster Of
branches nearly as thick as the parent
stem grew out from 1t and turned up
ward, while the main trunk. without a
bend, rose several feet higher.
Between two of these branches and
the trunk there was built nest of good
sized sticks, about twice as large as a
bushel basket; and on this my eyes
happened to be resting when the noise
of the shots brought above its edge a
little head covered with grayish-ye llow
fuzz, out Of which peered two big
round eyes with an air OF anxious in
quiry.
In that desert country, far from rail.
ways and towns, we led rather dull
lives; so the several pets we possessed
in the big permanent comp miles away
served in no small measure to amuse
us; and to these we wished to add
our young friend of the cactus. But
how TO get him down was problem.
Somebody suggested that a yolun-
teer climb the cactus, but no one thrust

means that which scratches" and as
the spires which thickly cover the out
er edges of the ridges are from one TO
four inches long, and as sharp as
needles, it will be seen that the name
.Igives good idea of the plant.
We did not like to cut it down, fon
fear the fall might injure the fedg-
lings; but after some debate no bet
ter method presented itself, so the two
axmen set to work. AS the first blows
made the green shaft tremble, the head
appeared once more trying, with an ex-
preston of concern, to see what was
going on below; but this the thick sides
of the nest prev ented. Then it looked
at me and said: "Jarkl" This was
the first remark Moses ever made to
us, and there was no time for more
then, for the axes had eaten through
the pulpy mass, which now began to
bend to it's fall.
AS the nest tilted we could see the
thick body belonging to the head,
with two big claws clutching wildly.
while the weak featherless wings
tapped madly in an instructive effort to
support their owner.
The cactus came down with a crash,
and running up, we looked for our
bird, but only little gray down was
visible, with one leg helpessly ex-
tended from under big branch which,
broken by the shock, had fallen across
and almost hid him. We feared he was
killed; but when by means of an ak
head hooked around the pricSly stuff,
it was pulled aside, he gathered himself
together quite unhurt, and then, sur
veying the strange beings who
ed him, made up his mind to them with
that philosophy we later learned to be
one of his traits, and opening his mouth
to its fullest extent limited that he was
hungry and wanted something to eat.

BICYCLE NOVELTIES.
Things That Add to the WheeIman's
Comfort and Safety.

Comfort ana Safety.
The latest improvement on tandems
is an adjustable bar in the frame which
converts a diamond frame into frame
for women cyclists. 1t is the top bar.
which attaches horizontally if a gen.
tleman wishes to ride or can be taken
out and adjusted at an angle, the back
end of the bar being affixed to the lower
end of the saddle bar for a lady. The
tandem is an expensive machine. and
this adjustment makes it suitable for
two women, two men or n woman and
her escort.
There are great many novelties for
bicycle riders being made in sterling
silver. Some of them are for parts ST
the wheel. others for the convenience
of the riders, especially on long rides.
Among the'parts of the machine which
help to make a woman's wheel hand
somer are the self-locking name plates
of silver, engraved as fully as desired.
This cannot be taken off by IA thief
unless it is filed off. 1t fits around the
front bar and has chased margindl1o
Handles, or grips, are made in eitfier
cork or celluloid, heavily mounted in
silver or gold. The ends are often set
with amethyst or topaz. They may be
had in ivory to order and set around
with pearls or any other stone desired.
The tool-bag plate is shown in a
modest little size, to be marked similar
ly to the name plate of the machine.
A solid silver cyclometer of the finest
make comes in fine plush and satin
case, and no doubt keeps more accn-
rately the number of miles Travelled
than an ordinary nickel-plated one.
The newest arrangement for drink
ing anything anywhere is the drinking
tube. This has the appearance of two
small spoon bowls perforated all over
and fastened together so that they form
a small flat-sided ball, the handle being
hollow tube with hole in the upper
end through which one may drink from
spring by the roadside or stream
of water. This may be an improvement
over a straw or the hand, but it ism
dainty person indeed who will take the
trouble of carrying one of these orna-
mental affairs on bicycle trip.
The combination of comb and brush
in one is perhaps the most useful of
anything cycler can carry. This is
made in tortoise shell with the usual sill
yer back. but there are shell teeth only
half way down the comb. In the other
half are set stiff bristles somewhat like
those in a toothbrush, which serve for
a brush
