Heron Nests in the Maine Woods.
There are three known heron colonies
in New England. One of them is on
the plantation just to the north of Sc
bee Lake. On point of land reaching
out into the pond is a growth of tall
silver birches, and there are at least
100 nests in the tops Of these trees. The
trees are tall. without limbs for forty
feet or more from the ground. 1t is
well known fact that herons never
build a nest In tree with limbs much
less than forty feet from the earth. The
nests are constructed from small sticks,
some up to an inch in diameter. The
nest is at least two feet across, and
the eggs are tri1e smaller than a
hens egg, and Of pale blue color. The
old birds go long distances on their for
aging trips, In some cases forty and if
ty miles. The birds of this species
about Moosehead Lake and around the
ponds miles to the south all make their
way to this particular colony at night.
Standing on the point one can see the
birds coming from all directions during
the period in which they feed their
young.-New York Tribune.

they have two pairs of wings the fe-

upright, with wings folded close to her

from side to side, but woe betide the

NoAH.s ARK A MODERN SHIP.

Proof that the Shipbui1diuG Industry
Flouri.hed Before His Time.
Another popular notion has been up
set. For centuries it has been supposed
that Father Noah was the first ship
builder of the world and that the ark
In which he saved his family from
drowning was the first vessel that
''plowed the raging main." This suppo-
sition has been found to be erroneous,
for there exist paintings Of Egyptian
vessels immensely older than the date
2e4O B. c., usually assigned to the ark,
being, indeed. probably between seven
ty and eighty centuries old. Moreover,
there are now In existence In Egypt
boats which were built about the period
the ark was constructed. These are,
however, small craft, about thirty-three
feet long, seven feet or eight feet wide,
and two and half feet to three feet
deep. They were discovered six years
ago by the eminent French Egyptolo-
gist, NJ. ]. De Morgan, In brick vaults
near Cairo and were probably funeral
boats.
They are constructed of three-inch
acacia and sycamore planks, dovetailed
together and fastened with trenails.
They have floors but no ribs, and
though nearly 5000 years old they held
together after their supports had been
removed These boats may be consid-
cred side by side with the better
known, but much more modern, viking
ship, which is now to be seen in shed
at Christiana. This craft was discov-
cred in 1880 in funeral mound, SO that
we owe both these existing examples
Of extremely ancient ships to the funer-
al customs Of countries SO dissimilar as
Egypt and Norway.

HER HOUR OF TRIUMPH.
She Rejoiced When the Horse Hat
Kicked the Buggy to Pieces.

She Rejoiced When the Horse Had
Kicked the Buggy to Pieces.
Some neighbors and friends Of ours
had horse called Alcade, says Horace
Yachell in his interesting description
Of California life; and thereupon he
goes on to relate an incident in which
the horse played an Important part.
Alcade was most respectable horse,
but like all Of us he had his failing;
he would flick his tail over the reiue.
So one day my friend, when about to
take his wife out for drive, tied down
Alcade's tail 80 tightly and securely
that not wiggle was left in it.
Now, 1t happened that only that
morning my friends wife had turned
on the water-water, you must under
stand, is q very precious article on a
ranch in Southern California-and,
alas! she had neglected to turn 1t of.
So the water had flowed away; leaving
the family tank empty and cracking
beneath the ardent rays of the sun.
Conceive, II you can, the wrath Of
husband condemned by his wife's care
lessness to pump many hundreds of
gallons Of water! You may be sure
that he-he was an Englishman-told
his unhappy wife that she had COM
mitted the unpardonable sin; and she,
poor soul, appreciating the magnitude
Of her ofrense, held her peace-which
Is remarkable because she was a
daughter Of the West
Perhaps the husband was sorry that
he had spoken so harshly, and thought
that drive behind fast trotter would
establish happier relations between the
two who should be one. Be that as 1t
may, after the drive was over he began
to unharness Alcade, his wife standing
by and talking to him.
The traces were unlocked, the
breeching- straps unbuckled, and then
Alcade was commanded to leave the
shafts; but Alcade, wise as Balaam's
ass, never stirred, for he knew that his
tail was still fast to the buggy. There
upon my friend took the whip and ap-
piled it smartly to Alcade's hind quar-
ters.
Alcade, who had doubtless been nurs-
Ing his wrongs all the afternoon, and
who saw his opportunity, as the law
yers say, to show cause, retaliated by
Kicking the buggy into heap of kind
ling wood.
My friends wife watched this per-
formance with interest, and when it
was over she turned to her husband
and said:
my dear, after this shall turn on
the water and let it run as often and
as long as 1 please"
