1Ile Osprey.

In the highlands of Scotland at the present time the osprey usually makes its nest in the flat top of pine tree, but formerly it just as frequently selected a .battlement or chimney of some ruin, generally on an island. The nest is a pile of sticks as much as four feet high and as many broad-the accumulation of many years-intermixed with turf and other vegetable matter, lined with finer twigs and finally with grass, much of it often green.

Quaint Bird Legend,

The Medical Press, in recent refer ence to work on some old legends in connection with drugs, said: ''It would be interesting to know if the bird which the author calls aster' is known to modern ornithologists. Speaking of it, he remarks that its scent is said to be so strong that fishes are drawn by it as he is flying over the river, and so taken up by him, having one leg like hawk, the other like duck" It is not diff cult, however, to identify the bird in question. It is the osprey (Pandion ha- i@tus), which, although not today classified under the genus astur, Is re- lated to it. In the Rev. c. Swainson E Folklore of British Birds'' there is 8 reference to it from Shakespeare, Cor iolanus,' '' act 4, scene 3:
 Autidius, loq.-
 As is the osprey to the fish
 Who takes it
 By sovereignty of nature.
 And in Peele's play, called f'The Battle of Alcazar" (15o4), act 3, scene 1: will provide thee of princely ospray,

 Salting Fruits.
 It is the custom in Italy to ship fruite in large casks filled with salt and brine. The fruit is sliced or cut in pieces and immediately put into the pickle This fashion of shipping has it's advantage over ordinary methods iii that the fruit prepared need not be so fresh as that which is shipped whole and wrapped in papers or packed in boxes. Fruits ot this sort are subjected to the most rigid scrutiny, as one imperfect specimen may infect the entire parcel. The salted fruit upon reaching it's destination is soaked in fresh water until all traces o1 salt have disappeared. While this meth cd may be tolerated in emergencies, the flavor and quality are so much impair ed that shippers are looking for some other way of preserving their product. New York Ledger.
