QUEER BIRD HOMES.
Tho Astounding Places In Which
Some Birds Have Elected to
BuIld Their Nests.

asleepy oldvillage in England there
80 a quaint little stone church which
has stood for more than one century.
1t is u great place for feathered song
sters, and many birds attend service
every Sunday during the summer. One
Sabbath the vicar on going up to the
reading desk was astonished to see
that under one cover Of the open Bible
was newly-constructed nest, In which
reposed robin redbreast,
Early In the week she and her mate
must have settled on this place as q
oongenial home and during the days
following had worked might and main
to get things in shape for housekeep-
ing, The vicar could not bear to dis
turb the robins, and so be procured an
other Bible, allowing the pious birds
to reside in their chosen home for the
rest of the season.
Still another robin tried housekeep-
ing IN disused teaketttle, which had
been flung out In corner of the gar
den.
Birds who shirk their natural duties
are quite as apt to suffer as their hui
man brethren.

managed TO insert an egg in the nest

In wall. The aperture was large
enough for the redstarts to go in and
out OF, but when the baby cuckoo burst
from his shell and was strong enough
to try and shift for himself, he found
he was too big to get out and 30 was a
prisoner for life. His foster parents
fed him till they thought he was old
enough to earn his own living and then
they left him. SO the poor cuckoo,
through the lsziness of his mamma,
perished miserably.
Perhaps the most absurd place for a
nest ever discovered was in cannon

The Best Age For Men to
Marry.

Edward Box, writing in the May
Ladies' Home Journal, on "a Boy for
a Husband" contends that mo young
man under 25 years of age is in any
sense competent to take unto himself a
wife, Before that age he is simply c
boy who has absolutely nothing which
he can offer to girl as a safe founda-
tion for life-happiress. He is un-
formed in his character, unsettled in
his ideas, absolutely ignorant of the
first ESSENTIALS of whtt consideration or
love for woman means. He doesn't
know himself, let alone knowing a
woman. He is full of fances, and it
is his boyish nature to fit from one
fancy to another. He is incapable of
the affection upon which love is based,
because he has not lived long enough
to know what the feeling or even the
word means. He is full of theories,
each one of which, when he comes to
put it into practice, will fail He is a
boy, pure and simple, passing through
that trying period through which ev-
cry boy must pass before he becomes a
man. But that period is not the mar
rying time. For as his opinions of
life are to change, 50 are his fancies of
the girl he esteems as the only girl in
the world to make him happy The
man Cd 80 rarely weds the girl whom
he fancied when he was 90"

The Sultan's Treasure.


have just received a letter from a
friend in Constantinople who has en-
joyed the rare treat of inspecting the
treasure vault Of Sultan Abdul Hamid.
This favor can be more fully appreci-
ated when 1t is remembered that 1t is
only extended by interposition of an
ambassador, and even then Is most
sparingly extended. AS rule, three
embassies join in requesting this priv
ilege, and, as soon as the permit has
been granted, the leading hctels OF the
city are informed of it. Immediately a
procession of some 80 or 40 carriages
is formed and all who care to avail
| themselves of this trip are invited to
| do so. They proceed to the old Ser
aglio at Stamboul, where the vast
treasure Is kept, in the palace which is
not unlike the London tower is first
inspected from the outside. The scene
as one enters the treasure chamber is
dazzling beyond the power of word to
describe. In glass cases, arranged in
long rows, are scoop-shaped vessels,
containing rows upon rows of jewels
of the rarest kind and pearls of all
sizes and varieties, so that as one first
glances upon this store of jewels Ii is
impossible to keep the eyes open; they
involuntarily close until gradually be-
| coming accustomed to the sight and
brlliancy of the surroundings. In a
white velvet case rests the three lar
gest and purest emeralds in the world.
These gems, more valuable and rare
than the finest diamond, are from to
8 inches long, and of wonderfully clear
light. at, .,4 .H
Next in importance, and which
doubtless attracts more attention from.
visitors than any other gems, are five
large pearls. The most distinguished
and conspicuous of these is much lar
ger than a pigeon egg, and the whole
is in the form of a statuette.
1t would take more space than !
have at my disposal to tell of all the
wonderful and beautiful jewels in this
treasure chamber; however, ! must
mention the famous throne which SUI
tan Selm took from the Persians.
This marvellous piece OF goldsmith's
art is feet high, of solid, pure gold,
and so richly encrusted with pearls
that the metal is almost lost to view.

PERFUMES IN AGAIN.
society DANES Have Returned TO the
Use Of Fragrant Extracts After
q Season of snchets.

Perfumes are again used by the
smart set after having been long tab
ooed. For several years extracts of
any kind have been considered vulgar
by those who set the fashions.
Sachet powders and scented amulets
were scattered in profusion In trunks
and wardrobes, and to the apparel of
fashionable women clung faint,
sweet, indefinable odor. IL did not re-
solve Itself into the perfume of any
flower. Often a gown was hung In a
case prepared for that purpose and
costly oils burned under il until 1t was
saturated with a sort of incense.
y That was an expensive fad, how
Ever, and only within the reach of a
I favored few. Mrs. Howard Gould had a
gown perfumed In this manner.
Now particular flower is selected
and the real extract used by women of
the most fastldlous taste. Violet is
not so great favorlte as lily-of-the-
valley.
The sweet, spicy fragrance of the
carnation Is also in high favor. One
of the newest OF these perfumes is
rose extract that breathes the sweet
ness Of handful OF shattered rose
petals. But some people with sensi-
tive nerves find this perfume nauseat-
ing. Newmown hay, once so popular,
is seldom used. OF course nothing that
In any way suggests musk is permis-
sible.
These perfumes are never poured on
the handkerchief. They are sprayed
on the entire costume With the, most;
delicate sef atomiZers. They must be
used ,spariagly. One. society leader in
New York has her'clothes receptacles
lined with quilted sachets Of orris root
andlavcnder. She always suggests the
faint, clean odor OF the linen chest OF
the grandmother Of long ago. She
has never used any other perfume.-N. N.

Old Morse Stories, by Sarah Powers
Bradish Is a book In which the author
retells some OF the most popular Of
these stories IN way TO make them
attractive 10 young readers. These
strange and wonderful stories were an
important part OF the life and thought
Of our remote ancestors who lived many
ages ago In northern Europe, As they
gattIei around their hresides In the
long winter evenings they told OF
giants, dwarfs elves and other crea-
lures q the imagination, and through
their rover and Intervention they ac-
counted for all the operations OF nature
around them-as day and night sum
mer and winter, storms and sunshine,
lie ind death. These myths, for such
they were, and kindred folk tales were
handed down through many generations
By oral traditions, when they were re-
corded In books of poems and stories,
called Eddas, written many hundreds
Of years ago. These I'm turn became
the source and inspiration Of many
works In art and literature, Of which
the German Nlbelungenlled Is a well
known example. The place these Old
Morse Stories have IN our history and
language make a knowledge Of them by
the young desirable, and few books will
prove so fascinating for children or so
valuable for school and family reading

THINK FOR YOURSELF,

There Is one rlan who through the
world win always make his way.
The man who dares to reason for
himself
who doesn't take as gospel all that
other people say.
Who losses dusty dogmas on the
shelf.
Who dares 70 look clear eyed at Truth
and follow where she leads;
Who dares TO take a stand, although
alone,
Who isn't always ruled by ancient pre-
cedents and creedsi
The man who has thinker OF his
own.
The world needs Independent men, who
can't be cowed or bought.
Who dare TO preach new doctrines TO
mankind.
Who dare strike out as pioneers, IN
novel fields Of thought.
And bring new light into the human
mind
II needs the man who has the high ca
paclty 10 lead,
Who speaks for right In no uncertain
tone,
Who to the voice divine within his
spirit giyeth heed
The man who has a thinker OF his
own.
II needs the man who win proclaim his
highest and his best;
Who won't belle his thought 10 please
the crowd;
Who stands for human liberty and will
not be repressed;
Who darcs for justice to speak out
aloud,
Who dsres TO combat evil though in
trenched In power and place
Who won't conceal, or palter or con-
done:
Who dares take up a lie and throw II
In the liars face
The man who has a thinker Of his
own.
Were tired OF men like Jelly fish with
splnes made ont OF mush
Who have no principles they won't
bstray,
Who deal in wordy bombast and IN
hIghfalutln' gush.
Because they do not know just what
90 say.
God give 10 us the man who faces
wrong without fear
Who has little conscience and back
bone,
For freedom and humanity who gives
his message clear
The man who has a thinker OF his
own.
You say nc would be ostraclsed? What
Of ~ So were they.
The pioneers Of progress who are
gone,
And yet they were Gods messengers,
who came to clear the way.
They were the voices prophesylng
dawn,
This world f. not the only one the
Infinite designed;
And when we stand before the great
white throne,
He win be known for what he Is, q
prince Of humankind
