Many species of birds are noted for
their skill in nest-building and the
popularity of the nest when finished,
but the so-called bower birds easily
hold first place among them. They Sc
lect small sapling with trunk about
one inch in diameter. and around this
they erect a number of slender poles,
the framework having the form of an
Indian wigwam.
Each pole has a fork at the top,
strange to say, and this keeps them in
position. Then the birds pass in and
out, weaving bits of grass and leaves
between the poles until they have a
rain-proof roof for their home. On one
side they leave an open space as a
means of entrance.
About the trunk of the sapling,
which forms the pillar of their house,
so to speak, they build an embankment
of moss, and all around the interior a
gallery, likewise of moss. This COM
pletes the interior, and then they do
their landscape gardening" outside.
Beginning at the door of the house or
blower" they make a lawn, clearing
away and smoothing and covering it
with layer of moss.
Then they gather gay-colored flow
ers and butterfly wings and anything
else of that kind that they can find
and with them decorate the lawn. The
gallery inside the house they decorate
in the same way, and when it is all
done they have home that is mar
vel of ingenuity and beauty.
Naturalists think that they do all
this simply to crafty their aesthetic
tastes, but we may be permitted tc
believe. nevertheless, that they are
guided by their instinct for some prac-
| teal purpose.

There is a row over the beautiful
castle OF Heidelberg. One set of archi-
tects declares that the ruins are in
dangerous condition and proposes the
restoration of the greatest number of
buildings to the condition in which
they were when the French burned
the castle in 1889. Others assert that
the ruins will stand forever, and that
the projected restoration is an act of
vandalism, as no trustworthy descrip-
ton Of the castle before it's destruc-
ton is to be had.

some Hard sentences.

Most boys and girls have at some
time been asked to repeat some SEN
tence that confuses their tongues, as
"She sells sea shell" or the Sea ceas-
eth and it suficeth US" or possibly this
one, What shame such a shapely
sash should shabby stitches show"
Now, it is very easy to suggest SEN
fences to the one who might claim
victory because of some slip of the
tongue. If by asking the teaser to
Give Grimes Jim's gilt gig-whip" does
not suffice possibly the task to repeat
six times in one breath What pity
poor Peter picked pretty Polly's pigs"
may do very well. If that will not do
tell him to repeat ten times in ten
seconds six misses mixed Kisses"
Other difficult combinations to re-
peat are: IF he slipped should she
sip?" Should ships steward sell a
shoddy suit?" 1.-THE bore brought boar
brawn," Sam should soon sell Shem
six shilling single shingles" and He
threw two true throws" But still more
difficult is the one Should sooty Sue
seek soap?"

.SeOes1feer1 Miners Killed fn
Succession Of .SnOsOSIfdeSe

Seventeen men were killed in a
series of snowslides which occurred in
the immediate vicinity of the Liberty
Bell mine ON Smuggler Mountain,
three and a half miles north of Tel
luride, Colo.
No less than four distinct slides oc-
Cured, each one claiming two or more
victims. The first slide occurred at
1880 o'clock in the morning and car
ried away the boarding and bunk
houses and the farmhouse of the mine
The slide came without warning. The
three large buildings were carried
down the steep mountain side a dis
lance of 1000 feet and ground to splin-
tiers, not board being left intact. The
snow and debris piled in the bottom of
the canyon twenty-five feet deep.
Those who escaped the slide at once
began the work of rescuing their less
fortunate companions. A dozen or
more were taken out alive, some of
them badly injured, however.
Shortly after noon, while the work

Fate-Telllng In Russia.

1t might perhaps interest the readers
of this magazine to hear something
about "fate-reading" in Russia, this
snowy land still so full of Eastern lore,
customs, and tradition. OF course, 1t
is, nowadays, pastime and an amuse-
ment INDUCED in chiefly during the
Christmas holidays, and more for the
fun of the thing than from any belief
in the truth of the prophecy.
There are good many ways Of look
ing into the book of fate. New Years
eve and Twelfth night are considered
the best occasions of the year for these
amusing experiments.
Whenever a number of young people
come together during this time of the
year, whether it be for dancing, play
ing games, or just spending a pleasant
evening together. some one of the party
is sure to propose "fate-reading," or
"gadat,' as it is called in Russian.
Seeking to know beforehand the
name of ones future sweetheart is a
very amusing experiment, and there
are two methods of going to work. The
| first is managed thus. A sheet of paper
is cut up into strips about four and
a half inches long, on every one Of
which a name is written. A big basin
is half filed with water. and by wet
ting one end of the strips of paper
| these are made to adhere to the rim
of the basin all round, the dry end
pointing horizontally toward the cen
ter.
A nutshell containing bit of Lighted
wax taper is then set afioat by one o
the party, the water having previousl.

Turks Not Hostile to Christians.

A Belgian diplomat who recently
returned from Turkey says that the
Turks are not hostile to Christians.
At Constantinople the minister of
waters and forests has chosen Ro-
man Catholic priest as tutor for his
son. It is also asserted that the Ar
menian massacres were not provoked
by hatred against Catholics. but by
the detestation in which the Arme-
MAN race is held for its tendency to
overreach in trade.

being killed The others were more or
less injured
Nearly all the buildings of the Lib
erty Bell mine were carried down by
the slide. One wing of the avalanche
shot 1900 feet across the canyon, pill
ing up wreckage on the opposite noun
tains.
A third slide came down at o'clock,
about one mile below the Liberty Bell
mines, and Gus Won Fintel, John Pow
ell and Paul Dalpra, who were on their
way to the scene, were swept away.
Shortly afterward the fourth slide
caught party going from Telluride,
killing two.
The buildings of the mine occupied
a bench on the mountain side. and
were erected in a location that was
supposed to be protected from snow
slides by a ridge which it was thought
would divert the course of any ava
lanche that might be started. The vast
accumulation of snow within the last
two weeks, however, gave the slide

can then interest many more persons
than we would otherwise attract. Our
plan is to erect building four stories
high. In the front will be offices and
storerooms, which we will rent The

Ways of American DueIists ons Hun
dred Years Ago.
The New York Evening Post of Feb.
1, -1802-a century ago-contained the
following:
Yesterday morning an affair Of hon
or was settled at Hoebuck, between
Mr.. Chandler of Philadelphia and Mr..
Carlisle of Albany. Three shots were
exchanged, and the latter was wounded
in the thigh.
"a second was terminated at the
same place, between two gentlemen.
The particulars of this are vari-
ously related. We give the follow
ing as the most current, and we be7
lieve the most correct: A challenge
was given about fortnight since, and
time and place appointed, but no wea-
pons agreed upon. When the chal-
lenger came to the ground he per-
ceived his antagonist (who, it is said,
was a Yankee) there before him, with
two muskets. This, the Yankee in
formed him, was his mode of fighting,
offering him his choice of the guns;
a gentleman's weapon. The Yankee
demonstrated that it was placing him
on disadvantageous terms to use pis-
tolls, as he had never fired one in his
life; but if the meeting could be post
poned for a fortnight, so that he might
practice in the meantime, he was con-
tent to use pistols; or his adversary
~ ati aa
with the gun, and he would then meet
him with that weapon. The first offer
was acceded to, and the parties met
yesterday accordingly. Three shots on
each side were exchanged; the Yam
KEGS second fire carried away the
others pocket flap, but his third shot
him through the feshy part of both
thighs; and here the affair ended
"The third duel took place in New
Jersey about ten days since. The only
particulars which have come to hand
worth mentioning are that there were
several spectators who accompanied
the parties to the field, and all OF
whom, together with the two seconds,
! climbed the trees, to be thus out OF
harms way while they saw fair play.
But, as one of the gentlemen chose to
terminate the affair by firing his pistol
in the air-a thing unforeseen-the
ball passed through the upper limbs OF
the very tree where the second of his
antagonist had taken his post, and
who was so much alarmed at the whist
ling of the bullet that he fell and broke
his collar bone, which was the only
accident attending the exhibition; hap
PLY no lives were lost"

Odd or even is trick which will
occasion considerable perplexity, and
yet is very simple. You take hand

another person to do the same, and
to ascertain whether the number he
takes is odd or even. You request the
company to observe that you have not
asked a single question of him, but
that you are able, Notwithstanding to
divine his secret intentions and coun-
teract them. In proof of this you
take a number of coins and add them
to those he has taken. If the number
he took was odd, the total shall be
even; if even, the total shall be odd.

burn a certain number of minutes and
then set fire to the one next below The

A Valuable Painting.

The duke of Marlborough is believed
to be the possessor of the costliest
painting in the world, which was at
one time the property of The first duke
of Marlborough. The painting is
known as the "Blenheim Madonna"
painted by Raphael in 1907, and now
valued at no less than $950,000. 1t is
eight feet high and represents the
madonna and child seated on a throne,
with a figure of John the Baptist on
the left and that of st. Nicholas of
Bari on the right. Its almost fabulous
value is due to the fact that it is one

Rahen In the Wood.

From Sweden comes a story of two
little girls, who returning home dur
ing a violent snowstorm, became lost
in a wood. For three weeks a tireless
search by the entire population of
the village, failed to trace them, but
at the end of that time the children
were found frozen to the ground, but
still alive. After wandering in the
storm, they had fallen exhausted un-
der a big fir tree, and awoke to find
their feet so frost bitten they could
not stand. Life was sustained by the
extra clothing they wore and bas-
ket of provisions they carried, but
when taken to the hospital 1t was
found necessary to amputate their
feet.

A river Of Forty Years Ago.


1t is not generally known that as
long ago as forty years ago an Ameri-
can constructed an airship, practical
ly the same in type and principle as
that of Santos-Dumont. 1t was cigar
shaped balloon driven by air propellers
moved by a small steam engine, and
the inventor exhibited it frequently in
and around New York. Since that time
many other inventors have worked on
the problem, but it is to be feared
that none of them, not even the clever
young Brazilian, has yet overcome
many of the difficulties. So far it has
been found that a trip in the air is too
expensive for ordinary persons. $500
being the cost of single trip in the
| Dumont machine. More than this,
however, the use of such an airship as
has thus far been constructed is only
possible in very light winds.

With hair so gray and glossy;
One ear stood up, the other down,
Which made her look quite saucy.
Whichever way I wished to go,
The other way went Bijou,
Which makes a fellow awful mad,
If anybody sees you.
One day we went along the beach,
A-driving DER the pebbles,
And Bijou behaved loud and long
In bassos and in trebles.
But when I wanted to go home,
The donkey would not bulge, sir,

And backed right in the water.

McClernand at once said:

And this, according to the writer
in the Illinois State Register, is the
true history of how John A. Logan,
for once and for all, threw aside his
Southern sympathies and enlisted,
heart and soul, in the war from the
Union in which he made so splendid a
record as brave and loyal soldier.
