Observation-Disclosures" ";:


some years ago and pronounced by the
examining chemist to be genuine.
The little curiosity was found by q
boy who was driving cows on Betsy Bell
mountain. a short distance east Of Staun-
ton. and given to the mother OF Mr..
Lewis. Mrs. Margaret Lewis. three or
four years before the beginning of the
war between the States. and up to few
weeks ago had always been in the pos
session of Mrs. Lewis. when she present.
ed it to her son.
Mrs Lewis carried the nest home with
her. and the attention of the late Cap
tain William II. Southall. of Charlortes-
vile. was directed to It. He Induced Mrs.
Lewis to chip one OF the little eggs out.
and that, with a small piece OF the top
of the next one, was sent to the chemist.
In order to ascertain if the nest was a
natural formation or whether it was the
work of a sparrow that had become petri-
fed.
The result of the examination settled
the fact that the material at one time
had been Of sticks and hair. The outer
portion is rough and of greyish color.
while the interior resembles pure white
marble. with the white eggs. which have
several small brown spots on them.
Mr.. Lewis prizes the curiosity very
highly.

NEW SWIMMING TEACHERS.
HOW ST. BERNARDS MAY TEACH chill
DREN TO MASTER THE WATER

Last summer in the prosperous little fun low
ing town of Orlando Fla. there could be seen
almost every afternoon merry party Of little
children and grown ups swimming in a beaUti-
ful lake they call Eola
There is a most beautiful sagacious and huge
St. Bernard in this place, called Tiptoe She
was only one year and four months old when
she suddenly and successfully entered a calling
which the world has thought heretofore only
adapted 10 men.
As the little tots would paddle out to where
the water was neck deep she seemed to love
TO follow them back and forth.
There was bright little girl who tried in vain
to learn to swim. Every time she would fool
ishly take the advice Of the teacher and strike
out boldly and take her feet from the bottom
UP would fly her heels and the poor little
darling would go down and strangle and cry.
and be more timid about trying next time One
day, after repeated failures, she stood silently
and seriously watching the great cumbersome
furry pet swimming easily along toward
shore. She suddenly exclaimed with the in
spiration which is born Of despair Il tell you
what I'm going TO do: I'm going TO make Tiptoe
teach me to swim!"
Suiting the action to the word she clutched
the collar of the accommodating dog, and, feel
ing confident in her new teachers ability to hold
her up safely. she lifted her feet boldly from

SPENDING THE SUMNER.
ZINES HENRY LEARNS OF THE MUTUAL
BENEFTT CITY AND COUNTRY PEO-
PIE ARE TO EACH OTHER.

TT seems to me-" said James Henry. that
Acre are ever so many city houses boarded up
as wear, and that more people have gone away
Gar the sumner than last year.
YOU have taken more notice Of the houses"
ssjd MS grandfather, -or, what is more likely,
Won don't remember how the streets looked
wear ago. We DO not remember such things
yery distinctly, and it is easy, every season, 10
forget how cold and how hot it was the year
before As 70 the closed houses, there are not
any more than there We're a year ago"
Where do al the people go who close their
houses?"
Well that's a hard question TO answer. Those
who have their own summer homes go to them:
many go 10 Europe; some make long trips but
the great majority go to some place in the coun-
II OF 70 the watering places. Of which there are
s. many near New-York. The seashore the
mountains and the places where there are min
sral waters al make pre- separations TO entertain
the city people and the vacation taken by the
New-Yorker depends on the amount Of money
he has 10 spend"
But WhO has the best time? 1 know that no
ene can md much more pleasure than We have
when We so 70 the old farm where you lived
when you were q boy
That also depends on the people. Those who
want 70 be gay, 20 drive in fine carriages and
attend parties and dinners and dances. can find
places 10 suit their taste. and those who. like
Is wish to be quiet and be among quiet country
people can 90 10 quiet places. But I have no
doubt that the people who go to the country
derive the greatest benefit from their outing
They are not only benefited in health, but they
acquire knowledge which they could never gain

we have our place TO go TO, but how do other
people who live in the city and have no aunts
and uncIes to visit manage 10 find summer
homes IL the country
People in the country rent their houses for
The summer months, and they take smaller
places, or they 90 away and spend their Yaca-
ton elsewhere Many make preparations foI
months for the summer visitor, who brings not
only money but the air Of the city with him
and is always welcome, and just as We become
enthusiastic over the country. SO the people who
know the city only through the papers and
books are interested in the city stories brought
10 them by The summer boarder."
Then the city people get even with the coun-
try folks don't they"
More than that ! think that the association
