Washington, March 2.-The secretary
Of the navy says the Spanish govern

Laws have already been passed in
several states" says the Richmond
Dispatch, requiring the use Of vide
tires on heavy wagons on the common
highway. IL is now proposed TO com.
bine with that plan a provision that
the rear axle shall be six or seven
inches longer than the front one. The
hind wheels would then run in a differ.
ent track from the front ones, and a
smoothing effect upon the road would
be produced. Many persons who have
given study to the good roads question
think that this proposed additional
provision has merit" This is not an
experiment. The adoption Of the wide
tire and the wider rear tread has proved
most satisfactory.

QUEER PLACE ron BrRD's NEST.
Built In the Thick Hair Between the
Horns of Buffalo
From Forest and Stream.


1t was good many years ago that Old
Hugh Monroe, who for more than seventy
five years had Travelled the prairies of the
Northwest told me that once he had found
a birds nest in the thick hair between The
horns of buffalo bull that he had killed.
He had two Indians with him, ana had
killed the young bull, which the Indians
were beginning to skin and cut up; and
while they were doing this he plucked some
OF the long hair from the forehead to use
In wiping out his gun. As he reached down
and grasped the hair a little bird-a little
gray bird-hew out from under his hand
and away. Parting the hair to see whence
il had come, he found a round smooth
nest, containing four little young birds
lie could not tell what kind of a bird it
was.
Not many weeks ago, when I was sit
ting in the lodge with my Indian father
and elder brothers, principal chiefs of the
Blackfeet, / spoke of this tale that had
been told me, and learned that all who
were present had heard of just this thing
On-esta-pokau, the White Calf, had known
of one case of this kind where The bird
was a blackbird; but this he had not seen
/ himself.
! Once, however, he did see the nest of a
snow bird" containing four eggs between
the horns of a bull Inquiry, followed by
careful and detailed description, showed
that the bird which the Blackfeet call
snow bird is the prairie shore lark.
After we had talked about this for some
time E-kus-kiui, the Low Horn, SAID to
me: MY friend, L viii now tell you some
thing. Do you know that Neopo-mukl
counts the months of winter on his
tongue?'
No l said. II know Neo-po-muki, but
! do not know what you mean by count
ing the months of winter on his tongue"
This is it," said Low Horn. I'm spring.
If you kill one and open his mouth and
lift up his tongue. you viii find under the
tongue five other tongues one tongue for
each month Of the winter. In the fall he
does not have these extra tongues. l do
not know why he has them, nor what ii
means"
Neo-po-muki is the chickadee, and he is
so called from his cry; for he says always
Summer is coming. summer is coming

PREPARING FOR VISITORS.
Committees ON Transportation ana
Public Comfort at Work.

The committee on transportation and

to Savannah, having perfected such ar
rangements for rates, wide areas OF terri
tory In which tickets are to be sold and
liberal periods of validity of tickets and
the railway baving so thoroughly adver-
tised these facts, 1t is reasonable to ex-
pect that many persons will visit Savan-
nah on the occasion. The committee con-
siders II important that all intending Wis

therefore asks all hotels, boarding houses
or parties willing TO accommodate visitors
