Grow hfoat at Nlcht.

It is curious Tact that night is tho time which nature utilizes for growth. Plants grow much moro in the night than in the daytime, as can be proved any time by measurement.
 Measure a vine at night, then meas ure it again in the morning and the next night, and 1t will be found that the night growth is two or three times that accomplished during the day.
 During the day the plant is very busy gathering nourishment from va rious sources, and during the night this raw material is assimilated into the plant life.
 The same fact is true of the animal creation Children grow more rapidly during the night.
 In the day time, while the child is awake and active, the system is kept busy disposing of the wastes eonse- quent on this activity; but during sleep the system is free to extend it's opera tions beyond the mere replacing of worn=out particles, hence the rapid growth

Curious Bird Habsrs.

It is well-known fact that if the young of almost any kind of bird are taken from the nest before they can fly, the old ones will feed them most attentiyely if the cage in which the little birds are inelosed IS placed some- where where the parents can reach 1t; and popular but erroneous belief is current that they do this for time. and end by poisoning the young ones. This, however, is mistake, the fact being that at certain stage of young birds existence, when fl is nat urally able to begin catering for itself, the parent birds, also quite naturally, cease to attend 1t, and then, if the birdlings are shut up in the cage and their custodian has not thought of placing some food at their disposal, they necessarily die, not from poison administered by the parents, but from stsrying.-Pall Mall Magazine.

 Early English Queens.
 New York Tribune: As far back as the time of King Athelstan's reign in England the art Of embroidery had reached a high standard throughout continental Europe, The four sisters of the Briton ruler were famous for their needleWork, and for another quality they ossessed-namely, that of attracting a remarkable number Of snitors. who were drawn, it is assert ed, by the charms that this feminine accomplishment gave to the fair work CTS, The wife of Edward the Confess eor had an absorbing love for the art, in which she exeelled many noted women of her time. In those days the Anglo-saxon nobles were known abroad by their gorgeous costumes. woven of silks and wools and embroid- cred heavily, and this work took the place in continental esteem that is to- day occupied by the Eastern embreid- cries brought into England The Eng fish embroderies were so much prized that the popes and other petentates were proud to accept gifts of garments made by the needlewomen of England Throughout Europe the finest speet- mems were done in the epoch bound- cd by the eleventh and fourteenth cen- tnries. At the South Kensington Mu- scum. in London. specimen of the finest work of that time is exhibited. 1t was done by Englishwomen some time about the year of 1250.

 WILD BIRD
which Had Absolutely No Fear sz
 Man.

Man.
 4 most extraordinary instance of the lameness of birds in unexplored forests is related by a writer in the Ma tional Geographic magazine, describ- ing tour of exploration to the head waters of the Saskatchewan. As our horses were winding through a deep forest, a bird appeared which resem- bled a pine bullfineh, fitting from tree to tree and following us closely. Some what later it gave the most remar lble instance of tameness that l have ever seen. Having followed US for about two miles, it waited i'll tree during the hustle and confusion of making camp, but in the afternoon, when all was quiet, some of our men were asleep, the bird became exceedingly familiar, walking on the ground near us and finally perehing on our ex- tended hands. It was soon evident that the object Of our visitor was to catch mosquitoes, which were hover Ing in swafms around our heads. 1t peeked at ring on my hand, at our needles, and in fact any metal article but the climax was reached when by accident the bird saw it's own image in small looking glass which lay on the ground. Then, with extended wings and open bill, 1t uttered cries of rage and pecked madly at the glass in which an enemy appeared. Among the solitudes of mountain forests. squirrels. finehes and whiskyjaeks often show unusual confidence in man, but this particular instance is remark. able, because the bird would alight on our persons even after 1t had been mo- mentarily though gently detained seY- eral times as a prisoner in my hand.
