For the Nursery Walls.
An Experts Idea Of the Proper Pictures
for Childish Eyes.

When a child is just too old to have a
picture of pink baby and q blue cat on
the walls of it's room, and yet too young
to indicate it's own tastes, there comes
a time when the decoration of the nur-
sery should be a matter of serious con-
sderation. An exchange gives the views
of an expert on the subject.

in big pink roses and nodding scarlet

MILITARY DISPLAY.
An Amusing Bit of Routine In a New

An Amusing Bit of Routine In a New
York Hotel.
There is no better place to mark the
increasing love of military display and
maneuvers than the lobby of large
hotel. The colored help in particular
are great soldiers. In one of the Broad
way hotels uptown the colored hall
men are changed at noon. Things were
quiet in the lobby at that hotel today,
for the clerks and bOokkeepers were.
deep in their books, and the loungers
were all sitting peacefully on the So
fas when the steady tramp, tramp of
what sounded like a regiment of infan-
try broke the stiffness.
The regiment consisted of six col
ored hallmen in blue and brass, with
an especially resplendent mulatto in
more gorgeous uniform walking at the
head of the procession, says the New
York correspondent of the Pittsburg
Gazette. He lined his six men in front
of a bench before the desk, looked
them over sharply to see that they
were "eyes 'front.' and hissed "Atten-
ton" Then as he clapped his hands
once the six men hinged their legs 81
multaneously and dropped into their
seats like a row of wooden soldiers.
The mulatto wiped his brow with
highly perfumed handkerchief, glanced
at the head clerk for approval and as
the first man responded with jerk to
the cry of 'FRONT.' went to the main
doorway to look at the sunlight of
Broadway with the air of successful
major general. The whole perform
ance was excruciatingly funny, but
am sure that mulatto would have COM
mitted assault and battery on any one
who dared to laugh.

THE WOODCOCK.
Where Does 1t Hide During the Mo1<s
ing SeasOne

Where Does 1t Hide During the MO1S~
ing SeasOne
1t is during the months Of August
and September that the mystery OF
;Ae woodcocks life begins. This In
the molting season, when the bird
changes its plumage before beginning
its journey southward. At this time it
leaves the swampS. Where does it
go? That is & question which has new
er vet received a satisfactory answer,
although each sportsman and natural
ist has his own opinion, and many fine
spun theories have been advanced.
Some say that the birds move toward
the north, some that they seek the
mountain tops coming into the swamps
to feed only after nightfall; some that
they seek the c0rntieldS. and there
have been many other such theories.
Probably the truth lies in mean of
all these statements. | think it prob
able that the birds know the loss of
their feathers renders them to a GER
tain extent helpless and more exposed
to the attacks of their natural enemies,
and they therefore leave the more open
swamps and hide in the densest and
most tangled thickets. 1t is certain
that they scatter, for ct this season
single birds are found in the most un,
usual and unexpected places.
Years ago when shooting in Dutch
ess county, N. Y, l knew one or two
swamps, which we called molting
swamps, where in August we were
sure to find limited number of birds.
These swamps were overgrowns with
rank marsh grass and were full of
patches of wild rose and sweetbrier
II we killed the birds which we found
there, we were sure in a week or ten
days to find their places filled by about
the same number.-Outing.
