Nests With Roofs.

The commonest type Of nest is the

grass, twigs, or mud, and open at the

find favor with many birds. and they
make a point of roofing their nests.

be found. 1t is oval in shape, rooted,
and the opening is at the side. This
doorway is generally closed by a
feather when the titmouse is away.

tail straight up like mast. and on
this account the nest is built high and

STORIES OF THE DAY.
Gartield's Reputation Tor Learning Impressed

new reservoir of anecdote. is drawn this
story about ex-President Garfield's ON

General Rosecrans chief of staff when
the people Of his district transferred
him from Murfreesborough to Wash

more. General Rosecrans said:
He has. you know, been elected to
Congress. He will make his mark there
and come out at the top of the heap.
He is the best-read man in my army"
Subsequently Mr.. Gilmore found that
Rosecrans' opinion of Garfield's extern
sive reading was that of the army.
Learning that the chief of staff was
holding campmeeting in his room"
he went there. The room was filled
with division and brigade commanders,
assembled to express their opinions as
ment of the army. which had been or
dered by Secretary Stanton.
Garfieh's remarks were interrupted by
the entrance of Gilmore and his intro
ductiOn to the officers. The convcrsa-
ton had drifted away from the import

roared out:

PURSUIT or A PEDIGREE.
The Methods Followed BY Ambitious English
H- - men.

When a retired colonel of English
militia past middle age. of comfortable
income. small shrewdness and consid-
cradle self-importance, fancies that he
needs pedigree. he usually employs
patient and labOriouS dryasdust, of
more or less skill in the tracing of
gcnealogies. to drudge through the par
ish and the probate records in the
quarter of England where he believes
his ancestors flourished. Sometimes
the searcher finds enough evidence of
the antiquity of the family and of the
colonels descent from it to crafty his
pride and even to permit him to set up
a coat-of-arms. Oftener. the inquiry
is so fruitless or the results 50 meagre

the vanity that prompted it with the
prudence that bids him renounce 1t. In

made their way in the world to estab-
fish their connection with some old fam
lily, branch of which they have caused
to flourish anew. the dryasdust has not

Usually he is among the most method

aware that the results of his researches
will be carefully verified and sifted
before they persuade the Heralds Of

Sometimes. in the past. he did justify
the saying that "a pedigree maker will
do anything" and risked distortion,
falschood and even forgery to crafty

county families have in their time

tempts such deception. he generally
proves to be not a real dryasdust, but
an adventurer that has applied his tai

enterprise in penal servitude.
OF such was Herbert Davies, who has
spent the last two years in the west of
England in pursuit of a pedigree for
one Colonel Shipway. retired: who

The Deadly lebel Bullet.

The writer Of an article in the Echo
de Paris" referring to certain disad-
vantages offered. as alleged. by the
British magazine rifle bullet. argues
that the bullet fired by the Lebel rifle
renders all the services required. and
does not stand in need of improvement
or of any such notifications as those
introduced in the Dum-du bullet.
At 5000 metres the Lebel bullet tra =
verses the fieshy portions of the human
body and skaters the bones of the
limbs. The penetrating force of the
bullet is enormous. During the Da-
honey campaign a Lebel bullet was
found to have passed through IA tree
and through the five natives who had
taken refuge behind it. The French
officers who have been able to observe
the effectsof the bullet in Dahomey. Tom
kin and Madagascar declare that the
men struck by the Lebel bullet in full
trajectory fall at once after a convtn-
sive leap.
When the camp of General Dodd.
during his march on AbOmey. was the
object Of a surprise attack the terrible
effectiveness of the Lebcl bullet was
proved in the most signal fashion. The
assailants received the bullets almost
Immediately after they had left the
rifles. and entire files of the native
warriors were seen to have fallen one
on top of the other traversed by the
same prOiectile. If the bullets had not
stopped the natives forthwith General
Dodd's forces would have been wiped
out. Occasionally. no doubt. man
Sfruck nv a .sbel hI1let Is not mt hOrs
du combat Immediately, but this event
is rare. and such cases VIGOROUSLY &C.
cured in the past when bullets of
larger calibre were in use.
The writer concludes by saying that
the French have no reason to feel
alarmed at the complaints made of .i,e
ineffectiveness under certain conditions
of the British magazine rifle bullet OF
small calibre. If the Lee MetforL
rifle" he says has given unsatisfac-
tory results the blame does not lie with
the small calibre, bullet. London

SUFFERED AWFUL BURNS
HARRY HENsHAw, A POsTOFFICE
EMPLOYE, BADLY BURNED.
He Is in a Critical Condition as the
Result of n Gasoline
Explosion.

Harry A. Henshaw. an engineer living at
923 South Meridian street. while assisting in
the repair Of the steam pipes in the post
office building. was severely and perhaps
fatally burned about 3 o'clock yesterday
afternoon by the explosion of q small hand
torch used to soften the packing in the
joints. He was working behind the boiler
with the torch, which has a tank containing
gasoline and a small air pump used to in
crease the heat. He had placed the torch
on top Of the boiler and was engaged in
other work for a few moments, during
which the blaze was in some manner ex-
tinguished. James Walton. the engineer,
called attention to the fact, and Henshaw
climbed on a step ladder and struck a
match to light the torch. Instantly an ex-
plosion occurred.
The tank containing the gasoline burst
and Henshaw was covered with the fluid,
which Immediately took fire. He was afre
from head to foot and fell from the ladder
TO the floor, which was covered with oil,
and which also took fire. His cries brought
the engineer and other employees to the
scene. and the suffering man, his hair. face,
arms and clothing all ablaze, was carried
to the front of the room, where efforts were
mad to extinguish the flames by smother
ing them with old clothing. The blaze Was
SO fierce that the garments were burned to
pieces almost as fast as they could be pro-
cured. Finally an old macintosh was
found and the fire put out. but not until
Henshaw's hair had been burned OIL ana
the flesh on his face, arms and back fright
fully burned. Physicians were called and
temporary relief was given. Henshaw was
taken to the City Hospital by DR.. Todd. or
the City Dispensary. Late last night hos.
pital physicians said hey could not yet tell
has no family. Engineer Walton. while
trying to extinguish the flames, was quite
severely burned on both hands and arms.
