The Abyssinian church, the oldest

The oldest building in the world that
has been uninterruptedly used for
church purposes is St. Martins ca
thedral at Canterbury, England. The
building was originally erected for
church, and has been regularly used as
a place for religious gatherings for
more than 1900 years.
A strange incident happened on re-
cent Sunday morning in the old church
at Felmersham. Bedfordshire, England.
During the service swarm of bees APP
peared inside the building, to the alarm
OF the congregation. many of whom
beat hasty retreat. One person was
severely stung. and several had narrow
escapes. The vicar had the tact to use
an abbreviated form of service and dis

There is a church in Rome, called
st. Clemente, which Is a very curious
building. There are four buildings
one on top of the other. The upper
most one Is the present church, built IN

which was the church Of the early
Christians, and first mentioned in 500.
Below this one are the remains OF an
old Roman building of the time of the
| emperors; and still below this are great
walls belonging to building of the
time OF the Roman republic.

BIRDS BUILD HOUSES.
And Then They Decorate Them In n
Really Artistic Manner.


Really Artistic Manner.
There has just been discovered by a
government ornithologist a tribe of
birds in the island of New Guinea which
show themselves excellent architects
by building each for himself a little
house on the ground.
Of course, the house that the bird
builds is not an elaborate pile of brown
stone or even bricks. 1t is made merely
OF twigs and pebbles, kept together by
the Intervening of the tall, dried grass
peculiar to the wild fields of New
Guinea. But it answers it's purpose
just as well in keeping off the rain and
sun. and no wind can knock down the
house. owing to the ingenious manner
Tin which the bird selects site.
The birds have received the temporary
name of garden birds, owing to the
fact that they fence in a little plot
around their houses, for no other APP
parent reason than to let other birds
know that the inclosed plot is private
property.
NVhen the male garden bird takes
mate he selects some level spot in the
fields where he finds tree not more
than two inches in thickness at the
base. With this tree as a center post
the bird builds his house of twigs,
leaves, pebbles and grass, and when
finished it is cunningly wrought man
sion, shaped like a bell, and with two
stories. In the upper story several
small openings are left to act as win
dows, and the ground floor has one large
opening which serves for entrance as
well as TO let in the light.
When the house is finished the bird
erects a circular fence, two inches in
height, around the house, and thus in
closes plot three feet distant from 1t
at every point.
The interior of each house is dec
GRATED with fresh leaves, the wings of
beautiful insects, pretty feathers which
other birds may have shed, gayly-col-
cred berries, and even the bleached
skulls of birds that have died in the
Aelds long before.
The gardens of the birds are strewn
with wild blossoms, and when these
wither they are carefully replaced

solves. AS for the COW, she is capable OF
facing a whole pack of wolves IN de-
fense of her calf-if the calf is young
enough. If it has approached the wean-
ing period, she will very likely ABANDON
It to an enemy and take to her own
heels.
The editor of the Condor (Oregon)
Globe saw a deed of COW valor lately
that was worth recording as well as see
ing. A herd of cattle, and among them
two COWS accompanied by their Caves
were grazing in tall dead grass when
the calves became separated little
from the rest of the herd.
Just then two huge, hungry coyotes
crept up through the grass, cut on the
calves from the rest of the cattle, and
started in pursuit Of them. After run
ming about 200 yards, the calves came to
high, five-wired barbed-wire fence
and being small, managed to get
through it. On the other side OF TIE
fence was an open pasture.
The wolves quickly followed the
calves through the fence, and were rap
idly running them down on the other
| side. when the two COW mothers dlscoV-
cred what was going on. Each uttered
a loud below. hoisted her tail, and
started for the rescue.
1t appeared to be hopeless chase
for the wire fence interviewed, and the
cows were certainly much too large to
get through it. They knew well enough
that it was there, and could, beside, see
it plainly, but both cows plunged to-
gether straight into it.
The watching editor, Mortified, looked
to see them hurled back. frightfully
wounded; but instead one of the posts
gave way under the onslaught; the
wires sank down. and in another mo-
ment the mothers were on the pasture
side of the fence, badly cut and bleed
ing. but still able to charge the wolves
successfully and put them to fight.
Soon the cows were licking the res
cued calves affectionately, and the coy
otes were bowling a disappointed duet

PREJuDIcEs OF ANIMALS

often Unaccountable.
TAe likes and dislikes of animals are
unaccountable. Some horses take VIC
lept prejudice against certain men, even
though they are treated kindly and
slough the mans moral character is
fair. Between the cat and dog there is
. violent aniipathy, which. however, is
not infrequently displaced by mutual
respect, and even affection in excep-
tional cases. The elephant hates dogs
and rats. Cows dislike dogs, and so do
sheep, for good reasons. But horses
Hike dogs and. what seems stranger. are
particularly partial 20 bears. On the
other hand. horses loathe and detest
camels and refuse to be decently civil
70 them after long acquaintance. They
even hate the place where camels have
been, which seems TO be carrying race
prejudice TO an extreme.
Evolutionists are accustomed to ex-
plain these instructive feelings as sur
vivals of ancestral enmities dating from
The days when one race preyed upon
abe other. This would account for the
natural enmity of cows 10 dogs. for
when cows were wild they were obliged
10 defend their calves from bands of
predacious wild dogs. But why should
the horse like dogs? 1t is but the other
day that the wild horses organized to
defend their colts from wolves on our
western prairies. What could the an
cestral horse have had against the an
eestral camel of million years ago?
Above all. why should the horse approve
of the bear? 1t must be that the horse
has a dormant sense Of beauty and of
humor. The ideal of the horse is grace
combined with strength. He disap-
proves from the bottom of his nature of
che hopelessly vulgar, awkward and I'M
esthetical camel. The bear. he sees at
once, though clumsy, is unpretentious,
truthful and not devoid of sense of
humor. The dog he recognizes as a good
fellow, companionable and unselfsh.
BE therefore forgets his ancestral pre-
dacious habits. A strong bond between
the dog and the horse is that they are
both fond of sport. whereas a camel
would not go an inch to see the best race
that was ever run.-Hartford Courant.
