BITS ABOUT STORKS.
How the Birds Are Favored by the People of Holland and
 Denmark.

In Holland the nests of storks are gen. orally on the summit of tall post. put up on purpose for them. on which is fixed an old cart wheel. Says an English writer: A Dutch gentleman of my &C., quaintance has one such post in his grounds within sight of his library win dow, but he improves on the cart wheel by having an iron framework for the reception of the nest. The first year 1t was put up, toward the end of June, solitary young stork used to come daily and carefully inspect this framework. saw him there myself one day, stand ing in the empty receptacle exactly like would-be benedict inspecting an empty house, contemplating the view and wondering if the drains areall right The verdict was apparently favorable, for next season saw the nest occupied by the newly welded pair. Their power of wing IS very fine, and on hot days have watched them ascending in spiral circles, hardly moving their broad black wings, till they have looked no bigger than flies k kftera the young are hatched they appear to be suspicious of one another and unwilling to leave the nest unguarded."
 Denmark is the country which is especially favored: by these fne-iooking birds. In the. towns you may see many nests on the buildings in close proxim- ity to one another, and the birds them selves feed unconcernedly in the mead ows and roadside fields. In the country nearly every farmhouse has a place
 
 end of the matched roof. And they are generally occupied.
 Storks have no voice; the only noise they make is 'klappering'' (snapping their great red manaibles rapidly and loudly). Thus they greet one another, generally by throwing back the head until the upper mandihle rests on the back; but occasionally "klappering" is performed with the head and bill in the ordinary position

MUCH ADO OVER FLAG.

Italian Banner Causes Trouble Tm
 Pennsylvania.
 TAMAQUA, Pa, Oct 3.-About two weeks ago a gang of foreign workmen who have a camp near West Penn a farming village, raised an Italian flag over their quarters. The farmers be- came indignant and demand that the flag be lowered. The Italians refusing to comply, a committee representing the farmers came here and laid the matter before the police officials, stat ing that unless immediate action was taken they would arm themselves and march on the camp.
 Chief of Police Hahn went to the camp and ordered the flag lowered, which was done under protest. The Italian consul at Philadelphia wrote to Chief Hahn asking him for full infor- nation regarding the matter.
 Hahn has replied, stating that he or dered the flag taken down because he feared the farmers would carry out their threat and that serious trouble would result

TROOPS TESTING THEIR ABILITY
Experiment Made Ln Regard to M@a- i1A&@t1On Owing to the FEictdOn With China Not Directed
 Against CmaE's Plans.

PARIS, Oct. 3.-Information received here through official sources at St. Pe- tersburg shows that the explanation given by Japan Of the movement of troops to Korea is calculated to remove suspicion concerning her intention. The number of troops moved is estimated at between 5000 and 10000.
 Japan explains that the movement is part of a plan of experimental mobiH- zation to show her ability to mobilize a considerable fOEce in connection with the friction between Japan and China It has no connection with differences between Japan and any othOE power.
 Baron Hayashi, the Japanese minis ter at London, has said in regard to the movement of troops for. Korea:
 II am certain that any movements of troops are only the routine relief of the Japanese forces guarding the telegraph line from Fusan to Seoul and Chemul- DO. To send a small body of troops to Korea would be no menace to Russia A mobilization of the Japanese forces on a large scale Is not contemplated for a moment, and Korea's consent would have to be obtained for any such step"
 The minister added that he still be- Heved Russia intended to keep her promise to evacuate Manchuria Oct. 8, Until that promise was broken Japan was not likely to make any move.

A WEKA FAMILY.
MntereEting Account of the Ways of the "RTaOri Hen" and Marked PeCuIinPities.

The weka, or Maori hen" is one ot those singular, wingtess birds peculiar to New Zealand, and allied to the extinct moa. That veteran mountain climber, MT. Arthur P Harper in his interesting work on the Southern Alps of New Zea- land, describes most amusingly the do- mestic eccentTicities of a pair of wekas that reared their young near one of his mountain camps.
 The wekas had taken possession of one of my camps, so to speak, and I was able to watch their mode of procedure when dissolving partnership at the end of the nesting season" says MT. Harper. Tt Is one of the peculiarfties of these birds that they; remain mated only so long as the young require care. When the male bird thinks that he has done his share,in the education and bringing up of the family he parts company with them. If he isin a good locality for food, he drives his mates and young ones away; but in a poor locality, he departs to happier hunting-grounds himself.
 The parent birds while rearing their young eat hard1ys anything themselves. When a pair has only one chick 1t is Imaginable to see their eageTness i'll feed Ing it. One will bring a piece of bacon, and the other, not to be outdone, comes running with an empty cartridge shell, holding it's head stdewise and seeming to say, 80 good

 'T now adopted Master Weka myself: he soon came to eat crumbs, from my hand without fear. Hs Meanwhile the old hen stood outside, waiting to waylay him. After being fed he used to dodge this way and that to make his escape. Mother Weka was equally determined to cut him of. To save him usually threw a piece of bread in the opposite direction. Whilerunning1for this, the hard-hearted mother gave opportunity for Master Weka to slipaway, VI ' he did, running at speed, and often bo%..Gg over hismore favore6 sister"

In the sixth inning he tied the record of Hickman now of Cleve- land, by driving the baH over the left Held fence, an extremely long distance on the Boston grounds. Boston's sec Ond run was scored on a double by Stahl and single by Freeman in the first inning. Pittsburg's best oppertu- nity for scoring occurred in the fourth inning, when a pass a single and a vir- tual sacrifice put men on second and third, with but one out Wagner drove a terrific liner to Ferris, who held it and completed an unassisted double play.
 Tn the eighth inning Boston had men on first and third, with one out, and again double play prevented SCOT ing and closed the inning, Wa gner stop ping fast grounder from Collins.
