cipate in the work Of organizing the

ant that the Fourth of July this
year should be celebrated on Us
elaborate a scale as possible to be In
line with other communities all over
the country. Whichever organiza-
ton takes hold 0f the matter can
rely upon the hearty cooperation OF
the citizens generally. and plans
should be commenced at once. The
people of Little Falls are not lacking
in patriotism, but apparently In this
instance lack someone or some or
ganization to take the lead. Either
the band, the fire department, the
Junior Order OF United American
Mechanics or any other organtza-
ton might take the lead, and then
all the other organizations as well
as the business men and citizens
generally should cooperate and give
a celebration that will be remem-
bered for years.

TAUGHT TO BUILD NESTS.
One Feature of the Education OF
Young Birds.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
1t is common error To believe that
with birds the knowledge of building
their nests is innate. 1t is trade that
is taught TO every bird NY its parents
and in just as systematic q manner as
men are trained to be builders. Birds
are born with the instinct to carry lit
tie twigs and the materials of which
nests are made. but unless they are
instructed in the art of building they
Will just drop them in a pile and never
attempt To weave them into nests.
1t is after the young birds have learn
ed to fly that the older ones regularly
teach them the process of interweaN-
ing and lining that is necessary to con-
struct nests, This Is most complicated
and a trade peculiarly their own; it
cannot be initiated even by men. To
arrange the little twiPs SO that they
will he symmetrical and strong enough
to hold the weight of the mother bird
and four or five little ones to a branch
of tree requires good engineering
ability The lining of the nest Is usu-
ally Of a much softer material tnan that
of which the outside is made, and to
place this neatly is also taught by the
older birds. Humming birds viii often
follow COWS for days to pick up their
soft hair with which to line their nests
and they weave 1t as compactly as a
piece of flannel. Rirds that have al
ways been IN cages can never make
nests and are ptiably clumsy even
with cotton, wool and material that
has been given to them.
That nest building is taught is also
| true of those that squirrels and mice
build. as we'll as lees, wasps and ants,
The green ant of Australia is very
clever in the building of it's nest. 1t
| appears to consider it an irksone duty
that can be hired out. A small spider
is therefore trained to do this work and
acts as a servant in all things, The
green ants pay the spiders for their
labors in coin that they enjoy. 1t is
by swing them TO eat portion of the
innumerahle little eggs that they, the
ants, lay. This rs a most agreeable
arrangement for all, man included. as
otherwise the green ants would rival
] the rabbits in overrunning Australia.

A we'll organized movement is under
way to form company of the nation
al guard, on this side, in the event
that Company B, or the old Thirteenth
regiment does not re-OrganiZe to JON
the guard, now being formed, of which
two companies of the First battalion
Of this city, have been mustered in.
Great efforts have been made to have
Company b re-organize, but the work
has been anything but encouraging to
the promoters. This fact has led many
ex-members of the old guard, residing
in this section, to set about to bring
Il company on this side.
EX-Councilman George Wirth, of the
Nineteenth ward, is specially active
i'm the movement. To a Tribune repor-
er last night he stated that if the op-
rortunity is afforded to have Com
pany B on this side, no difficulty would
be experienced in securing excellent
young men.
From here there are about twenty
five who have passed the physical eX-
animation for membership in Com
pany A, which has not been mustered
in. The major portion of that number
have signified their desire to join the
proposed South Side company.
Mr. Wirth, who is of the number re-
ferred to, is averse to the scheme OF
taking the proposed men from Com
pany A. He feels that it would almost
kill the movement to re-organize that
| company.

His curiosity was aroused and an in
veStigation followed, he with the help
of Ruddy removed the other portion
of the human frame, which broke IN
several pieces, despite the careful
handling it received. a measurement
was made and the skeleton indicated
that he must have been a man of i'm

His name could not be ascertalned.
but he travelled this valley, going from
place to place, selling his wares which
were of a miscellaneous collection of
articles. The man was known to carry
with him a plentiful supply of money,
and was last seen going toward what

Search was made but failed to dis
cover anything that would lead to his
whereabouts.
Several persons were accused of be-
ing implicated in the strange affair,
but nothing definite was ever ferreted

dent in the forehead of the man :

been foully dealt with Whether the
