SyvallOyys' Nest,

Two swallows, writes a correspond

nest in an outhouse, and the hen laid
five eggs. Before they were hatched
she was killed by knocking her head
against the Intel of the door. For q
month the nest remained unused and
deserted, the eggs cold. After that
time the cock bird found another mate
and he and the little hen were very
busy for few days bringing fresh hay
and mud TO the nest, ! did not like
to watch too closely, but ! certainly
wondered what they were doing to the
eggs, as no traces of broken eggshell,
etc, were TO be seen on the ground.

undjsturbed and then removed the nest
Ut was getting late in the season., when
! discovered that they had built false
bottom to ii, with new edging of
mud to hold the hay together, and that
the new family was brought up above
the cold eggs The false bottom, with
mud attached. was easily lifted off, the
cold eggs being found intact beneath.

lower corners of n ships sail are held
taut by two ropes, one called n tack

is always kept very tight, but the sheet
Is loosened according TO the wind, and
the looser the sheet is the more freely
the sail swings. If the sail is quite
free, its sheet Is said TO be In the

ships sails were quite free. They
would then fly about very crazlly, and
the ship would wabble. The course OF
the ship would be zIgzag one, and the
reason for this would be that she had

W.uuinIatry TN Chfum.

In China the practice OF luniolatry
exists at the present day and is Of very
early origin. The chief festival, that
of Yueping, or moon cakes, is held dur
ing the eighth month of the Chinese
year. Persons make cakes Of various
sizes in the shape of the moon and
paint different figures upon them.
Friends and relatives pay visits to one
another, give entertainments and pre-
sent their cakes after making protes-
tations and pouring out oblatons to
the moon. rs.s....s3 ..i.
1t is very remarkable that a verse OF
one of the Jewish prophets should be
explained by this Chinese custom.
"rhe children gather wood" said the
seer, ''and the fathers kindle the fire,
and the women knead their dough to
make cakes to the queen Of heaven"

The power of words or speech exceeds

who good naturedly exchanged shots
In the Phoenix park.
The baronet hit his opponent In the

feared he had killed him. When the
result was made known, one OF the
seconds shouted, "Afac, you are the
