The Woodpecker's Home.

The woodpecker's home is very
like the kingfsher's, but it is dug in
rotten wood instead Of being bored
Id bank of earth. From the great
ivory billed species down to the lit
tie downy fellow of our orchards the
w6odpeckers build their nests, or,
rather, excayate them, on the same
general plan. The hole at first goes
straight into the wood, then turns
downward, widening as it descends,
until it gives room for the home.
If you will go into any bit Of I'M
shorn woodland during early spring
and will keep your eyes open, you
will see bright red head thrust out
of round window in some decay
ing trunk or Dough, and the wood
pecker will sing out, "Peer, peerp'
which always seems to mean that
his or her home is most comforta-
BILE and enjoyable place.

Women In Wells.

The custom Of wearing face wells
among the women of the orient is
very ancient one, and undoubtedly
the wedding and widows wells Of
our day are remnants Of that old
world fashion. The oriental wom-
an prizes her veil beyond any other
article Of her wardrobe. Rather
than have a strange man look upon
her uncovered face she will snatch
a curtain, Counterpart or her petit
coats in her haste to conceal her
features, utterly regardless of other
parts of her anatomy which may be

not seem SO very absurd when we
remember that it is a part of most
oriental religions to keep the wom-

LARGE Sums For Old junk.


A New Yorker who spent several
days in Washington recently had his
attention called to the sale of vari-
GUS collections of waste made by
the government departments. CT
was prepared to learn that the waste
iron at the navy yard was sold" he
said. S1 knew that the waste paper
from the departments could be used.
But | didn't expect to hear that the
scrap iron, bits Of steel, brass and
other minerals and the old canvas,
cotton, leather and other substances
which might be taken from wornout
mail bags were sold also.
"Yet / was told at the postofice
department. the other day that the
amount of such waste in year was
enormous and that when the junk
was sold last year it Melted the de-
partment about $4,000. At first I
could hardly believe the story, but /
learned subsequently that 10000
bags are worn out in year and then
understood where all the iron, cam
vas and leather were obtained

A Perfect Lady.

The following conversation took
place between well known actress
and "a dresser in a large proyin-
cial theater in England:
Perhaps you don't remember me,

vague, half confidential manner of
her kind.
II remember you very WE'LL" re-
piled the actress, sSbut I think it was
your sister who dressed me when I
was here before"
@Oh, no, missl I've got a sister,

The MIGHTY Amazon.

The Amazon is in every respect
but length the greatest river in the
world. At many points in its low
er course SO vast is its tide that one
shore is invisible from the other,
the observer seeming to look out
into rolling sea Of turbid water.
1t has over 400 tributaries, great
and small, which rise in so many
different climates that when one set
is at food height the other is at
ebb, and vice versa, so that the bulk
of the great river remains unchang-
ed the whole year round. At 1000
miles from its mouth it is navigable
for large sized ships and at 1900
for steamboats, of the largest size.
