dustry in this country, but every house
holder has reason TO dread its appear
ance on his table. Out in California the
orange growers are fairly panic
stricken, and not a little alarm is felt in
Florida and Louisiana.
| The insect has its home in Mexico
1t is an unpleasant looking maggot
about an inch long and In color yellow
ish white. The pulp of the orange is
its food, and it makes its way into the
fruit without leaving any outward and
visible sign of its presence within.
This, indeed is one of the worst things
about it. If the infested fruit exhibited
surface evidences of having been at
tackled, the oranges might be picked
over and the bad ones rejected. But the
golden sphere, fair to look upon and
promising joy to the palate, is rotten
within. Cut open with knife, half OF
its pulp perhaps is found to have been
devoured, and maybe dozen or more
of the disgusting larvae, authors OF the
mischief, are seen within.
1t will be easily understood that the
infestation of the groves of California
by this insect would be likely to cause a
loss of millions of dollars annually to
that state. Being sort of next-dooI
neighbor to Mexico, California is in spe-
cial danger; and, realizing the fact, she
has already established quarantine
against oranges from that country.
During the last six weeks the govern
ment bureau Of entomology has been
making special investigation of the
matter. 1t has sent an expert, Mr.. c
H. T. Townsend, to Mexico, to study the
worm and it's work, and he has made 8
report on the subject. The maggot Il

without, leaving any hole or other ex

pulp, eating as 1t goes, and converts the
juicy interior into so much rot and
nastiness.
Naturally the Mexican authorities
have been perturbed by this threat o.
excluding their oranges. They have
presented arguments on the subject

That history repeats itself has just
received another proof. Some years
ago the men of Bavarian regiment Of
which Prince Macmillan was chief, in
order that they might show their de-
votion to him, cut off their mustaches
and sent them to the princess, who had
just become mother, that she might
use them as pillow. Something very
like repetition of this has just taken
place at Rappoistweller, in Alaska. The
chief of the fire brigade was few days
ago presented with his first child, a
boy. The firemen thereupon called
meeting at which 1t was decided to
make the baby boy an honorary men,

A BIRDS sToREHousE.
The California WoOdpecker Packs

traveller, recounts some of the strange
scenes he has witnessed for the benefit
of readers of St. Nicholas. He con.

"A Birds Storehouse; or, the Carpenter
Bird" Mr.. ODER says:
He is handsome bird, and If there
were not so many of his species he
would attract great deal of attention.
He has bright red head, black-and-
white body, and needle-pointed tail.
The tail supports him in perpendicu-
lar position on the side of tree, while
he is hammering, or rather chiseling,
hole in its bark.
Now, all woodpeckers, having shorp-
pointed beaks and very strong muscles
in their necks and heads, can drive
deep hole into the side of tree or
stump; but this California woodpecker
is said to surpass them all rs hole
digger; and ne not only digs the hole,
but he fills it up with nut or an
acorn.
This is the strangest part of his per-
Torrance; for while a great many
other birds have the hole-digging in
stinct, there are very few of them that
possess the hole-filfing instinct. The
blue jays and the squirrels have habit
of accommodating supplies in the shape
of nuts and acorns, and you may see

MY CASTLE.

1t is wonderfully fair,
And tinted with the radiance Of the sky.
Its walls are decked with beauty.
And it's portals are of pearl,
My palace that hope for by and by.
o my castle In the air.
Care can never enter there,
And poverty or worry neer annoy.
There no sin can ever trouble,
And no want can ever come,
Nor slightest thought of sorrow mar its joy.
o my castle In the air,
1t is filled with treasures rare
To satisfy the longings of the soul!
No eye hath seen its beauty,
And no ear its music heard;
No mortal eer conceived the wondrous
whole.
o my castle in the air,
1t hath bliss beyond compare,
For the King In all His beauty reigns with
in;
And there His servants serve Him,
And there His angels sing
The chorus of redemption from all sin.
o my castle in the air,
Shall ever enter there,
Where the Lamb once slain for sinners is
its light?
Shall ever join the chorus
Which the saints triumphant sing?
That multitude unnumbered clothed In
white?

two eggs by the same hen.
The eggs of the malice hen are out
of all proportion to her size. They are
as large as those of goose, and of
large hens are very much larger.
The eggs thus laid and covered in this
great sand oven in the hot districts
are never again disturbed by the hens.
The eggs are Matched by the heat the
sun bakes into the soil where they lay.
1t has never been known how the young
chicks are excavated from their egg
grave, for the eggs are deposited fully
six feet below the surface, and the
hardening rains do not aid their exit
very much.
The hen Is so very shy and vigilant
that no one is able to study her ma
ternal and domestic habits with salts
faction. AS she lays her egg at night
and transacts most of her affairs in
the night watch so that no naturalist
or curious individual can ferret her
out, possibly she steals to her expected
brood under cover of night also and
gives them the parental unearthing
which they must surely need after the
piping of the eggshell.

branches. The same instinct prompts
this woodpecker to lay in his stores
of acorns. Some people say, however,
that he never resorts to these supplies
again, but just lays them up without
thought as to the future at all. But
this is not the way with nature. She
does not work blindly, but always with
some wise purpose in view.
At any rate, this bird can drill hole
in the very hardest wood, and at this
business he is employed almost all the
time. The holes are usually made in
rows, at regular distances apart, each
about the size of an acorn. He is never
discouraged, and never gives up task,
even though it may seem most formida-

he brings to the storehouse tree and
places in the little .safety-deposit'' he
| has made for it. 1t fits exactly, and so,
inserting it sharp end first, he hits
1t repeatedly with his beak, and drives
it in to stay till needed.
So long as the woodpecker confines
his harvesting to the acorns, no one
except the Indians, who frequently
store them up for winter food, will
have anything to say. But this he does
not do. 1t is said that he likes nuts as
we'll, and story is told of family Of
woodpeckers that completely stripped
a small grove of almond trees. The
owner of the grove thought he must
have a good crop, and when the time
came to gather it he went TO do so, and
10! there was not a nut on any tree!
But one of his boys, in foraging about,
found an immense old oak which was
partly decayed, and riddled with holes
from top to bottom. And in each hole
was an almond So the tree was cut
down, and the man secured several
bushels of almonds, after all; but the
woodpeckers scoided him loudly.

There is something wrong in our
American civilization. There are more
women in shops and factories and
schools and offices and stores than
ought to be there. They are there OF
necessity. What is the matter? Well
many things. The foremost is this, the
low condition of morals of so large a
percentage Of the men. You say, with
a sneer, that women are in the majority
in the churches; and you are right. But
men are in the majority in the saloons

MY NEIoHBoR's MISTAKE.
True Christian Philanthropy Helps a
Man Whatever His State.

There are plenty of good Samaritans
in this world who care for their neigh
boris misfortunes, but draw the line
at their neighbours mistakes. When a
man is hungry they feed him; but
when he spends his money for that
which is not bread, and his labor for
that which satisfeth not, they bid him
suffer the reward of his folly. If he is
out of work they try to find employ
ment for him; but if he has thrown
up his job for some foolish whim they
wash their hands of him. In other
words, their contempt for shiftlessness
overpowers their love for humanity,
1t is easier to turn weak or foolish
person out of your circle of proteges
than to educate him.
When we find "a man or a woman who
so rises above this narrowness of SYM
pathy as to take pleasure in helping
people out of the trouble for which
they themselves are alone to blame, a
new vision of human charity is revealed.
Sometimes simple little incident
comes to light which shows how much
hidden kindness there is in the world.
A day or two after Christmas, accord
ing to the papers, "a gentleman went TO
the Boston post office and paid the
postage on all the Christmas packages
which had been held because of INSULT
cient stamps. This cost him about $50,
and enabled the postmaster to forward
hundreds of holiday gifts TO their des-
tination in time for New Years. The
news dispatch adds that this gentleman
had done the same thing for a number
of years, but had always managed to
conceal his name until this year. The
newspaper called him "a new kind of
Santa Claus" What an ingenious way
of making people happy! This modern
saint has evidently two Of the best
qualifications for philanthropist Chat
is to say, Christian): strong mag
ination, and sympathy for careless
and absent-minded people. Most of us
would have said: swell, always pre-
pay my own packages, and if these fel.
lows didn't have sense enough to do
the same, it isn't my funeral" But Mr.
benjamin Cutler Clark-this Boston
Santa Claus-took the view that it was
his funeral" and proposed to turn il
into a much more cheerful festival by
the kindly aid of Uncle Sam.
To what high model do we turn fol
this most delicate courtesy of the
heart? There is, it has often seemed
a double significance in that scene upor
the last night of the Lords life, when he
girded Himself and washed His dis

ArCuinu or persundtnr.

Religious argument oftener awakes
prejudice, pride, and antagonism. than
it brings opponents over to our way of
thinking. Logic is combative; love is
persuasive. 1t has no hobnails in its
heels to bruise sensitive doubts. When
love goes wooing, it always puts on its
best attire, and uses its softest tones,
just as the sunbeam is more powerful
factor in nature than the cyclone, so
persuasion is mightier than argument.

Fine flakes of snow, so light that they

BUSY MAlLEE HENS.

They Build Nests Fully ms Large rs
City Lot.
The malice hen Of Australia lays its
eggs in huge nest. The nest is really
an artificial mound of gigantic proper
tions for the size of its maker and the
purpose it is to serve. This artificial
mound is cooperative incubator. 1t is
built by many pairs of birds, male and
female working alike to construct it.
These same pairs or fiocks of birds an
nually repair and enlarge the queer
looking cone, which rises up like tur-
ret dome from the level prairie.
Sometimes these tunnels attain a
height of fully IS feet in the perpendic-
ular, with radius of equal measure
ment. Many of these nests have meas
ured as much as so yards, or $50 feet,
around their base. That would give the
largest one measured a diameter of
about so feet. These mound-nests are
entered through sort of funnel cavity
at the top of the cone.
The hens of all the building and re-
pairing pairs lay in this immense nest.
The eggs are deposited about six feet
below the surface. While each hen lays
her egg in the family mound, no hen
drops her egg closer than 20 inches to
that of her neighbor. These eggs are
deposited in cavity made for it where
in it is placed in vertical position,
carefully covered and the surface as
carefully smoothed over by the hen be-
fore she quits the nest. Contrary to
the usual practice of the bird and fowl
species, these malice hens lay at night
instead of in the day. Several days
