Some close student of bird life has
made the discovery that nest building
is not altogether an instinct. but partly
a fine art taught by the older birds to
the younger ones just as child is
taught music. In proof of this claim
he says that the orioles in pairing are
invariably mated an old and a young
bird. one of the pair possessing the
architectural knowledge necessary to
the construction of the hanging nest
which these birds build.

The st. Louis exposition will perhaps
be more remarkable for its display Of
agricultural and horticultural products
than for any other one thing. Located
as it will be in the very heart of the
best agricultural district in the world,
the cotton of the south, the corn of the
central west, the wheat of the north
the hog, the steer, the COW, the hen, the
orchard and the garden will furnish an
exhibit which will make foreigners
open their eyes.

Parents Claim He Shot Himself by
Accident.
Monongahela, Pa, Aug. 19.-The
blood stained corpse of a 5-year-old boy
was discovered this evening by Bag
gageman A. r. Mcdonald in Pitts
burg, Virginia and Charleston Rail-
road train en- route to Dravosburg.
The little body was packed tightly
in a large coffee can two feet high
and eighteen inches wide and was
wrapped in the blood soaked folds of
a woman's dress. The only mark on
the body was bullet hole in the
breast, probably the cause of death.
When Dravosburg was reached a
man and woman who had deposited the
can in the baggage car at Walters
burg were arrested and taken to Jail
in McKeesport. They said their names
were Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac Jubflier of
Tucker, and that the boy was their
son, who had accidentally shot him
self with his fathers revolver. When
they found he was dead they decided
to keep the matter quiet and bury
him quietly at Dravosburg.

Subject VIII Come Up at Extra
Session.


The extra session of Congress, which
will assemble in November, says the
Washington Star. viii take up for con-
sideration a subject before which the
Aldrich financial bill and the Cuban
reciprocity treaty will pale into in
significance. The rejection of the Pam
anna canal treaty by the government
of Colombia will bring to the front
Immediately the old isthmian canal
fight OF course, under the act of
Congress, President Roosevelt has the
alternative of negotiating a treaty
with Nicaragua and Cost RIGA for the
construction of an isthmian canal by
the Nicaraguan route.
No one, however, who is posted upon
the subject expects that the opposi-
ton to an isthmian canal will permit
the adoption of this alternative prop
osition without a fight. While the SUBJ
jeect is not properly before Congress.
in view of the alternative vested In the
President by law. still there is no
doubt that means win be found to
bring the case up in Congress. The
first step will be to question the valid
ity of the alternative Some inkling
was given of this at the last session.
The question was raised whether the
ratification of the Panama treaty by
the Senate did not wipe out prior legis-
lation of Congress. That question was
not settled and evidence was afforded
that it would be mooted again.
The opposition to the isthmian ca
NAL as is well known to all who have
followed the subject, rests in the
| transcontinental railways They have
succeeded for years in frustrating the
expressed wishes of the people for an
interoceanic canal. The prediction
was freely made at the last session of
Congress that the Panama treaty
would prove ineffective and that an
other long period of delay in the ne
gotiations for a canal would ensue. 1t
was said then that there was a fly
in the ointment and that the treaty
would not prove acceptable to the Co
lombian government. Around the cor
ridors of the Capitol il was common
gossip that the opposition to an in
teroceanic canal had fixed up the
treaty in the manner which would
cause 1t to fail.
Since the Panama treaty has been
| rejected, the negotiations will revert
to the Nicaragua route. In some quar-
tiers the doubt is expressed whether
it will be possible to come to satisfac-
tory arrangements with Nicaragua
and Costa Rica. The trouble is that
now there is no longer competition.
| 1t is a notorious fact that the Panama
Canal Company was only induced to
| reduce it's aXorbitant terms by the fact
| that there was an alternative propo-
sition in the Nicaragua route. Now
that the Panama route is eliminated
the Nicaraguans and Costa Ricans are
in position to drive a hard bargain
with Uncle Sam.
In the meantime. of course, there is
TO canal and the transcontinental
railways are doing business at the OLD
stand. Several times within the past
five years the completion of the 18TH
milan canal project has seemed immin-
| ent and each time something has oc-
Cured to Illustrate 1t. OF course, the
transcontinental railways had nothing
| to do with these unfortunate failures

ANIMAL FARMS PAY WELL.
There Is Always n Good PROFIT in
RniaIng Live stock.


From the National Stockman.
The corn belt contains conditions for
animal farming found nowhere else.
But the farmer turning his face to-
ward animal farming as his entire bus
mess is confronted by many obstacles.
1t reminds me of a game of checkers.
We start the object of our choice for
the king row. but unless we use great
care in backing him up he meets with
opposition that sweeps him from the
scene of action. Just so In animal
acknowledgements, floods, disease and
storms beset our way, and unless we
fortify our every move we are liable
to be launched upon the market with
many of our fellow farmers at the very
worst times possible.
One of our best hackers is plenty OF
feed, and as corn is king and the plant
ing time at hand we will tell our own
way of doing, and do not hesitate to
say we are far from perfection in many
of our efforts, but still keep pressing
onward with our faces toward the
front. We use our table land only for
corn and IL lacks under draining, al
though IL has fairly good surface drain~
age, yet washes very little. This field
is planted to corn every year and sown
to rye every fall. and is nearly or
quite covered with manure each year.

was too much dirt on 1t when cover

dirt put to 1t too small. It is my opin-
ion that is the most frequent error the
farmers of heavy soils make in corn
culture, and it Is a bad one.

NICARAGUA ON HER DIGNITY.

Paris, Aug. 19.-Dr. Corea, the minis
ter of Nicaragua to the United States,
to-day declined to discuss Colombia s
action in rejecting the canal treaty
but when asked If Nicaragua was
ready to reopen negotiations, he said:
II am not authorized by my govern
ment to reopen negotiations or to take
any action on the subject. In fact, my
instructions are to remain entirely in
active. Nicaragua occupies the digni-
fed position of not wishing to thrust
her route upon the consideration of the
United States. We believe our route
to be superior from every point of
view.
IF any initiative is taken towards
renewing the negotiations on the Mic
aragua route it will have to come
from the United States as Nicaragua
will continue to occupy her position of
dignified reserve"

THE POPE's GOLDEN ROSE.
And other HOnOrs Granted by the
Pope TO Women and Institutions.

And other HOnOrs Granted by the
Pope to Women and Institutions.
From the New York Tribune.
The long illness and death of the
Pope and the consequent prominence
of the papacy in the minds of all
Christendom recall the fact that Pope
Leo XIII has not been slow to recog-
nize and reward the fidelity and good
works of women. Among the papel
perquisites, so to speak, are many
honors which are bestowed as a mark
of special appreciation upon Roman
Catholic royalties, mobiles, generals,
priests or laymen and women, for their
piety, their philanthropy or their dis
tinguished services in the name OF re-
ligion. Almost invariably these marks
of favor have been bestowed in re-
turn for some signal service to the
pause of the church. To America
Pope Leo was especially kind. No less
than three American women have been
decorated by him, not to mention the
men in this country who have received
high honor at his hands. The first
American woman to be decorated by
the Pope was the wife of Gen. Sher-
man. In 1888 Miss Gwendoline Cald-
WELL now the Marquise de Meanwhile,
Pope. 1t was largely through her eff
forts and gifts of money that the Cath
Ollie University at Washington was
founded. Her generosity brought her
to the attention of the Pope, who
granted her, with her aunt and sister, a
special audience. on which occasion he
blessed her for her charity. Miss An
ME Leary of New York, last year re-
ceived the title of countess from the
Pope, she being the only American
woman who bears the title. Like other
titles of the kind, It is merely honor
airy, and carries no social recognition in
foreign courts or financial emolument
with It, Perhaps on this very account
its possession is the more highly priz-
ed. Miss Leary has spent large sums
out of the immense fortune her father
left her in the advancement Of Roman
Catholic interests, and 1t was in recog-
milton of her wide and lavish philan-
thropies In this direction that Arch
bishop Corrigan, as the Pope's repre-
sentative, invested her with the title
of Countess of the Holy See in May of
last year.
one of the highest and most coveted
decorations which any Pope has at
