The habit of the people who have
stores between the railroad bridge and
the city bridge. of throwing their waste
material out Of their back doors and
windows, was discussed by the city
government briefly. Thursday evening.
At high water the effect of this dis
carding OF waste is not so notcea Bile.
but in the summer it makes an I'M
slightly place for the people who cross
the bridge. to look upon. 1t was SuS
cested that there was a general United
states law covering the matter but
some questioned this. The board of
health might be called upon only 50 far
asst relates to the danger to public
health. Occasionally when the city
marshal calls upon these people and
,..o,,csts them TO be more careful about
Throwing away the waste. they will u.s.
care for a time and then will so at it
ara;n Some of the aldermen are OF
,ho on;rion- that the habit should be
stopped.

Bradstreefs Canadian Report.

New York, May 12.--Bradstreet's to-
morrow, will say: There is a seasonable
quieting down of wholesale demand re-
ported from Canada this week. al
though the volume of trade is still sat
isfactory. Toronto reports considerabls
wheat and rye killed in ontario. and
wheat seeding delayed in the North
west. but that a large area will be
planted in other. crops. 1t is expected
that Canadian lumber shipments will be
larger on account of the prohibition OF
the export of saw logs. Montreal re-
ports the values of wooden goods tend
ing upward and that money is light.
Trade in the maritime provinces is
only fair and the lobster catch will be
small. Export trade at Victoria is ac-
tive. but orders from the interior are
smaller. Bank clearings for the week
aggregate s33 900. an increase of %
per cent. over this week. a year ago.
Canadian failures number II, against
% in this week a year ago.

INDIAN NATURAL HISTORY.
An Odd Tale About Birds That Build Their Nests in the NIane of
 the Buffalo.

It was a good many years ago that old Hugh Monroe. who for more than 75 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 a buffalo bull that he had killed. He had two Indians with him. and had killed the young bull which the Indians were be ginning to skin and cut up; and while they were doing this he plucked some of the long hair from the forehead to use in Nyiping out his gun. As he reached down and graspcd the hair a little bird-a little gray bird-few out from under his hand and away. Parting the hair to see whence it had come. he found a round. smooth nest. containing four little young birds. He could not tell me what kind of a bird it was.
 Not many weeks ago. when I was sitting in the lodge with my Indian father and elder brothers, principal chiefs of the Blaclfeet, I spoke of this tale that had been told mo, 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 black bird; but this he had not seen him self.
 Once. however, he did see the nest of ''snow bird" containing four eggs between the horns of a bull. Inquiry. followed by a careful and detailed de- scription. 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-l1us-kini, the Low Horn, said to me: My friend. I will now tell you something. Do you know that Neo-po-muki counts the months of the winter on his tongue?"
 No" I said. II know Neo-po-mulli, but I do not know what you mean by counting the months of the winter on his tongue"
 This is it." said Low Horn. ''In spring, if you kill one. and open his mouth and lift up his tongue. you will find under the tongue five other tongues, one tongue for each month of the winter In the fall lie does not have these extra tongues. l do not know why he has them, nor what it means.'
 Nco-po-muki is the chichadee, and he is so called from bis cry; for he says always: Summer is coming, summer is coming Forest ard Stream.
