Birds WONDERFUL fOreinouHut.
In small Connecticut village a pair
of sparrows made their nest in a tree
and their work on their home was
watched with interest by many people.
Between two wooden factories are a
pond and a mill-race. The water in the
latter runs very swiftly. Beside tie
upper mill and leaning over the race
Is small tree its branches bending al
most to the surface of the waters.
The sparrows we're noticed closely eX-
aiming the tree, and shortly after the
inspection they were seen constructing
nest in fork in one OF the branches
directly over the race. Hundreds OF
eyes watched the birds at work from
the windows of the factory. The spot
where the sparrows' home was being
built was so exposed and yet so mac
cessible it was safe from the small boy
and the prowling pussy.
When the nest was almost completed,
those who happened TO be watching the
birds saw them suddenly quit work.
They chirruped for few moments and
then began to remove the nest, bit by
bit. The nest was discovered later in
a thick clump of alders short distance
from terra firma.
1t was self evident that the first idea
of the birds had been to place their
nest out of harms way. The rushing
waters of the mill stream made their
home safe. The sparrows must have
looked into the future and thought OF
the time when their little ones would
be learning to fly and to what would
occur to them if they fell into the swift
ly running waters.

Aprons for Little Girls.

When the little girls wear aprons
nowadays they never give a thought
to how ornamental or becoming they
are, but they put them on because
mamma or nurse wishes to protect
their pretty clothes, but when there is
company in the parlor and mamma
sends for them, the aprons are laid
aside, and there they are In their nice
fresh dresses, unhurt by their romp-
ing.
But long ago, when their great
grandmothers were young, aprons were
considered a very important piece of
clothing. No lady's wardrobe was
complete without a goodly supply of
aprons. They were made by the dozen
in every style and design-gold and
silver brocade aprons, aprons wrought
with gold, minute" aprons worn it
that good old-fashioned dance and
coquettishly trimmed with bows and
lace to suit the fancy Of the wearer,
and there was gauze aprons and lawn
embroidered aprons, and lessons were
given and patterns sold for embroid-
ering them.
There is no telling how long ago
aprons came into fashion; they were
doubtless among the many things that
came from England in the Mayflower.
Queen Anne wore them, and, of course,
her loyal subjects followed her example,
and it is probable that the early col
onial danes put them to sterner use
in the pioneer days.
If some enterprising person under
took to hunt up and classify the var
ious styles of aprons he would find his
work as difficult as the compiling of a
dictionary.
They have been put to so many uses
requiring variety in size and shape
that volumes might be written about
them. Ladies' and children alike wear
them even now, but the days of orna-
ment are over-the apron of fashion is
no more.-New York Tribune.

Popular Science News was possibly one
of the best canine mimics on record.
His name was Scot, and he was puppy

At first the older dog ignored the

Then the two became firm friends.
Scot was all attendant waiting on Rab's

slept together and hunted together.

Feeding Chickens by Alarm Clock.

Walter Bernard, some months ago,
secured q small tract of land on Cham
ber's prairie a few miles east OF
Olympia. ami stocked the place with a
few dozen chickens. AS he is com
pc,led to be away from home during
the day, he studied out a scheme for
caring for his chickens during his abb
sence. In each yard he has erected
troughs to hold food for the hens and
these troughs are connected by wire
with his house. Within the house Mr..
Bernard has connected the wire with
an alarm clock, with the usual battery
attachment. When he leaves home in
the morning he sets the alarm clock
at the hours for feeding the chickens,
and by aningenious arrangement, when
the proper time arrives, the alarm
goes off, the connecting wire releases
the troughs and the chickens make a
rush for their feed, which is spread
before them as if Mr.. Bernard did the
lob in person.-Morning Oregonian.

When Helcnn E.n. Puzzled.

"You couldn't help loving little He
lena, even if you tried, she is so sweet
and lovable and loving. And Just be-
cause she is so sweet and lovable and
loving nobody ever tries. One of the
sweetest things about little Helena is
here sincere unselishness, and the way
she tries to make other people happy.
One of he things that trouble her most
is the knowledge that all the little
girls in Chicago cannot have the nice,
pretty, comfortable garments and tri-

brought for Helena one OF the dearest,
prettiest little fur sets-muff and collar
and little fur-trimmed mittens-you
can think of. And the pretty things
were as warm as they were charming.
Helena fairly danced the first time she
put them on, she was so delighted.
Then Wednesday came, and the
washerwoman. And when the washer
woman's little girl came, about 5
o'clock, to walk home with her mother
she had no muff, no mitten and nothing
at all about her neck, she was so cold
and shivering that the sight Of her
worried little Helena terribly. So He
lena left the candy she was making
and flew off upstairs in search OF her

other shopping trip Helena told her

A settler on the upper Mattawa riv-

the bright idea occurred to him that

a bell on his VOLTS neck lid released

woods.
Wondering at the vagaries Of the ami

About an hour later, the children came
tv him with the news that the sheep
had returned, but had left one OF the
lambs behind them.
The next day the same thing occur

sheep in the fields but failing, follow

bell tinkling in the distance.
Then it began to dawn upon the farm
er that the bell he had fastened TO
the neck of his gray wolf visitor, was
the same which was borne by the faith

The quick cared sheep had recognized
the sound of the bell, and true to their
instincts had hastened to join their
last years companion.
That they found not exactly a wolf

Re,,,urnnt Cook., pe,qui,,tr..


When a cook applies for place
in a restaurant he says first:
whats the wages?"
And alter he has learned about the
wages, he goes on:
"Includin' grease?"
"Yes," is the answer, or else 1t is
NO." whereupon he resumes:
"Includin' bones?"
An inquisitive person the other day
heard a cook asking these strange
questions of a restaurateur, and the
inquisitive person inquired: What
on earth did that cook mean?"
"He meant that he wished to know
if he would get the grease and bones
as perquisites," the restaurateur e!x-
planned. "The waste grease and bones
of a big eating house amount, in the
course of a month to great deal, you
know. Here we got monthly 300
pounds of bones, and they ali go to
