A Birds Peculiar Choice.

A strange nesting place was that
once selected by swallow. At Cor
ton, Lowestoft, England, Mr.. Rus
sci Coleman discovered swallows
nest, with young birds in it, on the
revolving part of the machinery of
a common windmill.
The particular spot chosen was
the "wallomer," the outer edge of
one of the wheels. The revolutions
averaged 80 minute, and Mr.. Cole
man estimated that in that time the
nest travelled about 100 feet. The
young birds would certainly be ex-
perienced travellers before they left
such a nest.
The mother bird, when sitting,
usually travelled tail foremost, and
when she entered OF left the mill
she had to make use of the hole
through which the laying shaft pro-
jected. TO do this it was necessary
for her to dodge the sails, which
were, of course, hung close to the
wall of the mill.
When the creaking and shaking
>of the machinery Of a windmill is
taken into account, one can hardly
fail to be struck with the peculiar
taste Of the bird that chose such an
apparently uncongenial spot in
which to rear her young.

THE OLD COTTAGE CLOCK.

Oh, the old, old clock of the household stock
Was the brightest thing and neatesti
Its hands, though old, had touch of gold,
And its chime rang still the sweetest.
Twas monitor, too, though its words were
few,
Yet they lived, though nations altered,
And its voice, still strong, warned old and
young
When tho voice of friendship falseredl
Tick, tick1" it said. "Quick, quicki to beds
For ten I've given warning;
Up, up and go, else, you know,
You'll never rise soon in the morningi''
A friendly voice was that DID, old clock
As it stood in the corner smiling,
And blessed the time, with merry chime,
The wintry hours beguiling.
But cross old voice was that tiresome clock
AS it called atdaybreak boldly
When the dawn looked gray o er the mistyway
And the early air blew coldly.
i'Tick, ticlsl'' it said "Quick, out Of bed,
For five I've given warning!
You'll never have health, you'll never gel
wealth.
Unless you're up soon in the morningi"
Still hourly the sound goes round and round,
With tone that ceases never,
While tears are shed for the bright days fled
And the old friends lost forever,,
Its heart beats on, though hearts are gone
That warmer beat and younger
Its hands still move, though hands we love
Are clasped on earth no longer.
Tick tick!'' it said. 40 the churchyard bedi
The grave hath given warning!
Up, up and rise to the angel skies
And enter heavenly morninel''

Prizes for Products OF Stevens.

Prizes for Products of Stevens.
In tha award of credits for the
county exhibits at the state fair,
Stevens county ranked fourth among
the twelve counties represented. The
Judges made their award on the basis
of 1,5OO credits, and the $1,000 pre-
MUM was divided pro rata. This
gave Stevens county 1857 credits and
$121.O2 cash. The counties which
excelled Stevens were Aitkin, 1850
credits, Anoka, 1928 credits, and
Steele, 1853 credits. This showing
reflects much credit on those who
prepared the Stevnes county exhibit
and the county as whole should feel
grateful to them for thus advertising
this locality.
The success of the exhibit was
almost entirely due to the interest
which D. T. Wheaton has shown in
having the county well represented.
The county also took the following
prizes:-Blue Stem wheat, second
and third premiums; Fife wheat, sec
ond premium; Collection of three
varieties, first premium; Black bar
ley, second premium; Flax, second
premium; Oats, second premium;
Buckwheat, third premium; Tonka
Crab apples, second premium,
