Only the other day news was received
of how Queen Nabo had cleared the
nolitical atmosphere of her dominion
by eliminating in the most approved
Cromwellian manner number OF GU
iectiopable court officials, one among
the number being her own son.
Oueen Nabo is about so years old, and
is not handsome according to the oe-
based standards of the white man, but
in Swaziland she is accounted "a me
fipger of a woman" When she was mar.

QUEER BIRD HOMES.

Ina sleepy old village in England there
is a quaint little stone church which

1t is a great place for feathered song

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 biDle

reposed robin redbreast.

must have settled on this place as

following had worked might and main

Rirds who shirk their natural duties
are quite as apt to suffer as their hu-

The cuckoo makes no nest OF her
own, but watching her chance lays
her relatively small eggs in the nest
of a more industrious member OF the
bird family. Once mother CUCKOO
managed to insert an egg IN the nest

enough for the redstarts to go IN ana

from his shell and was strong enough
to try and shift for himself, he found
he was too big to get out and SO was
prisoner for life. His foster parents
fed him till they thought he was Ole
enough to earn his own living and Their
thew left him, SO the poor cuckoo
through the laziness of his mamma
persisted miserably.
Perhaps the most absurd place for
nest ever discovered was in a cannon
box, located at an army post. A spar
