A FREAK NEST BUILDER.

Marvellous as is the instinct of birds,
one is led to wonder why the swift or
chimney swallow, ever became adj
dicted to the habit of building its nest
In house chimneys, where the nest,
with its eggs or young, is very liable
to fall down because of lack of proper
adhesion to the brick. or where the
starting of fire by the householder
works complete destruction. Where
did these birds build their nests at the
time the psalmist wrote of them as
seeking place where she may lay
her young" at a time when chimneys
We're unknown? And why. in It's search
for building place. did it forsake the
clefts in the rocks, or, possibly. the hol-
low trunk OF some forest tree, for such
an uncouth, illogical aud unsafe place
as house chimney?

THANKsG WING PROc-
LAMATION

President Roosevelt has issued his
first Thanksgiving proclamation, as
follows:
SPY the President of the United
States of America.
" A proclamation.
1.-THE season is nigh when, according
to the time hallowed custom Of our
people, the President appoints a day
as the special occasion for praise and
Thanksgiving to God. This thanks
giving finds the people still bowed
with sorrow for the death Of q great
and good president. We mourn
President Mckinley, because we SO
loved and honored him; and the man
ner of his death should awaken in
the breasts f our people keen an
xiety for the country, and at the same
time resolute purpose not to be
driven by any calamity from the path
OF strong, orderly, popular liberty,
which as nation, we have thus far
safely trnd.
"Yet, in spite Of this great disaster,
it is nevertheless true that no people
on earth have such abundant cause
for Thanksgiving as we have. The
past year in particular has been one of
peace and plenty. We have prospered
in things material, and have been able
to work for our own uplifting in
things intellectual and spiritual. Let
us remember that, as much has been
given us, much will be expected from
us; and that true homage comes from
the heart, as we'll as from the lips,
and shows itself in deeds. We can
best prove our thankfulness to the
Almighty by the way in which on
this earth and at this time each of us
does his duty to his fellowmen.
"Now, therefore, I Theodore Roose-
Welt, President of the United States,
do hereby designate as day of gener-
al thanksgiving, Thursday, the twenty
eighth day of this present November,
and do recommend that throughout
the land the people cease from their
wonted occupations and at their sew
eral homes and places of worship
reverently thank the Giver of all good
for the countless blessings of our
national life.
In witness whereof | have here
unto set my hand, and caused the
seal Of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington,
this second day of November, in the
year of our Lord, one thousand nine
hundred and one, and of tie indie
pendence of the United States, the
one hundred and twenty sixth.

That's the woman Of it. Of course,

Of scientists for the last. hundred years
is that this current passes through the
earth from north to south or from pole
to pole. In other words, the poles are
sympathetic.

and has never been disputed: but. Mrs.

be able to prove to the world before

magnetic current passes through the
earth from east to west instead

said after awhile.
Great Scot, woman, but you must
be brainlessw he exclaimed IF I can
establish the fact that the magnetic
currents pass from east to west, I'll
be the most famous man Of the day,
My name and discovery will go down
to posterity along with the greatest,

riches, crown Of laurels. It's the one

chance, and | hope you will say moth

this thing into burlesque. If the

theory while sucking a 3 cent lemon,
I'd be driven to suicide In a month.
No; there will be no lemons or catnip
tea or bread and butter with sugar on
1t. You let me alone and don't worry"
From that hour to 10 o'clock Mr..
Bowser was nervous and uneasy, as
all men are when ON the point Of max
ing great discovery. He read up on
magnetic currents in the encyclopedia,
and he got down his map of the world
and figured out the countries an east
and west current must pass through.
He was in quite nervous state when
he finally started for the back yard,
and the cook whispered to Mrs Bow

No one trait of Queen Victoria's char
acter has been more frequently dwelt
upon than her motherliness, the rare
good sense displayed in training her
children.
1t is told of the princess royal of Eng
land that she had hasty temper when
she was little girl. Quick, hot words
came readily to her lips.
Queen Victoria did not punish her lit
tie daughter for these outbursts Of
temper, but one day gave her little
garden for her very own and advised
that when anger got the Better of her
Judgment she go to work for few
moments.
The plan acted like charm, and a
short time among the smiling faces Of
her flower friends brought the little
princess, ashamed and repentant, to
beg for forgiveness. The habit thus
formed was never broken, and flowers
always held high place in the regard

worth mention: At the late state fair
there were on exhibition in the fruit
department 2.364 plates Of apples. 515
plates of plums and 454 plates Of
grapes, representing over 200 varieties
of apples and 100 of plums, and all
this in state far north, outside the
supposed fruit belt and in season
when fruit production has been very
light.

care, illustrating the truth that the
farther north an apple is grown the
better the quality and the longer it
