MISTAKES OF BIRDS.
they Are the Result of Contact With
Civilization.

Probably in state Of wild nature
birds never make mistakes, but where
they come in contact with our ciyiliZa-
ton and are confronted by new condi'
tons they very naturally make mis-
takes. For instance, their cunning II
nest building sometimes deserts them.
The art of the bird is to conceal its
nest both as to position and as to ma.
tcrial, but now and then it is betrayed
into weaving into its structure SNOWY
and bizarre bits of this or that. which
give its secret away and which seem
to violate all the traditions of its kind.
| have the picture OF robins nest Dc,
fore me upon the outside Of which are
stuck q small muslin flower, Il leaf
from Il small calendar and a photo
graph of i local celebrity. y more
incongruous use of material in bird
architecture it would be hard to find.
l have been told of another robins nest
upon the outside Of which the bird had
fastened q wooden label from near
by flower bed marked Wake Robin"
Still another pest l have seen built
upon large. snowy foundation Of the
paperlike flowers Of antennaria, or ev-
erlasting. The wood thrush frequently
weaves a fragment Of newspaper or 4
white rag into the foundation Of its
nest. EVIL communications corrupt
good manners" The newspaper and
the rag bag unsettle the wits Of the
birds.
The phoebe bird is capable Of this
kind of mistake or indiscretion. All the
past generations Of her tribe have built
upon natural and therefore neutral
sites, usually under shelving and over
hanging rocks, and the art Of adapting
the nest to its surroundings, blending
it with them, has been highly devel'
oped. But phoebe now frequently
builds under our sheds and porches,
where, so far as concealment is con-
cerned, a change Of material, say from
moss to dry grass or shreds Of bark,
would be an advantage to her. But she
departs not mite from the family ira
ditions; she uses the same woody
MOSES which in some cases, especially
when the nest is placed upon unevenly
sawed timber, makes her secret an
open one to all eyes.-John Burroughs
in Century.

A posToFFICE WAR.
On the Headwaters Of the Turbulent
Youghiosheny.

The war clouds are settling
darby about the headwaters of the
turbulent Youghiogheny at the ter
minus of the Confluence & Oak
land branch. It's all about the
naming or rather the remaining of
the postofice there.
The firm of A. Knabb & Co. To-
Gated their extensive stave mills
and barrel factories there In 1891.
Shortly after that time a village
sprung up and a postofice became
necessary. One was established
and called Krug In honor of the
Junior member of the firm, Henry
Krug. The firm bought up large
tracts of timber land and built mar
row gauge railroads over the mouv.
tains and up the river, the latter
line being IS miles long and reach
Ing to within seven miles Of Oak
land.
The timber lands and the railroad
property were recently sold TO the
Yough Manor Lumber company,
composed of Hon. Samuel A. Ken
da l of Meyersdale; Jacob L. Ken
dali, formerly of Counellsville, but
now residing In Pittsburg, and Hon.
U. G. Kendall of Fairmont, W. Va,
They conceived the plan OF having
the name of the postofice changed
to Kendall, and being natural born
politicians they enlisted the support
of Congressman George Pearre of
Cumberland, Md. A petition was
circulated and forwarded to Wash
ington. This was done In the alb
sence Of the towns ramesake. and
when he got back home he found
himself In fair way to be wiped
off the map.
Henry didn't like this bit. He
spoke some words Of characteristic
straightforwardness to the Kendalls
and to the Congressman, and his
friends got up strong petition
against the proposed change and
sent 1t on to Washington.
The matter Is now In thu hands
of the Postofhce Department.
The Postofice department. will
not dare change the name of Krug
postofice to Kendall, for does not
the old and well.proven adage say:
A change of name and not OF
letter.
A change for worse and not for
better.
The department Is having
enough troubles of Its own just now
without inviting anything so dead
y as this. -Connelsvllle Courier.

What Is known About Fish.

Pliny. the great naturalist, who lived
at about the time of Christ, reckoned
the whole number of known species Of
fish at nincty-four. LinnHus, the great
Swedish investigator Of the eighteenth
century. could classify AIS, and he is
known to have been the greatest ich-
thyologist of the age in which he lived.
The progress made in that particular
branch since the time Of LinnRus
seems all the more wonderful, for now
$4,000 species show up in the cata-
logues of the fish specialists.
