sites, which usually are in the imme-

The mother looks after the welfare
of her year-old daughters; in this way
family ties are maintained. l see this
trait in many birds that visit my cabin,
such as catbirds, woodtnrushes, veer-
les. ovenbirds. robins. towhee bunt-
ings, chestnut-sided warblers. black
throated warblers, redstarts, chicka-
dees, and song sparrows. 1t proves
that blood is thicker than water in
the bird family as well as in the hui
man family. l have seen mother birds
assist in nest-building in several in
stances. Years ago l saw this trait in
the caves swallow. The young birds
would begin nest on the plain clap
boards. which would fall before it was
half built. The old birds took a hand
and induced the young birds to select
a more secure spot. 1 have known the
old bird to use force to keep 8 foolish

STRANGE TRADES IN PARIS.
Dog Barber Flourishes in His Stand
on the Banks of the Seine.

1t IS astonishing with what zeal
every means of earning an honest
penny is piled in Paris. No city in
the world has so many queer little
trades by which those practicing them
scrape together enough sous to make
a living. The king of this class is,
of course. the ragpicker. He starts
out before the dawn armed with
lantern and a long hooked piece of
iron, and explores the rubbish boxes
placed outside every door in the cap
ital before the municipal carts come
to carry off their contents. Then
there is the man who goes around
with the spiked stick picking up the
cigar and cigarette stumps which lie
round the Paris cafes There are
men, too, who search the streets for
fallen money, and who generally find
enough TO keep them from starva-
ton.
One of the most characteristic of
these strange tradesmen IS the dog
barber. The favorite dog of the Pa
risian is the French poodle, or "mou-
ton" as he is popularity called. It is
chiefly for his benefit that the dog
barber exists. His headquarters are
the banks of the Seine Here the
main body can be found at all times,
though in the summer some go about
the city carrying on their occupation
from house to house. In the hot days
one continually hears the long drawn
out cry, "To-o-deur de chiens!" and
meets the familiar figure of the dog
barber, with his box of instruments
slung over his shoulder. Many of
them have their regular customers.
whose houses they visit at stated in
tervals to make the toilet of these
privileged poodles-for the Paris
mouton is the "spoilt child among
dogs. He is clipped, brushed, combed,
perfumed and generally has his top
knot" fastened with pink or blue
ribbon. Some even wear gold or sill
yer bracelets around one paw.
The result has been the develop
ment Of the dog barber as an artist.
He clips and shaves his customers
dogs in the most elaborate fashion.
Some are left with shaggy names,
with a tuft at the end of their tail, to
initiate a lion. Others, again, are
clipped in strips, making them look
like black zebras, and others have
their faces clipped, and nothing but
pair of fierce mustache left, with
fluffy bracelets of hair round each
Foot. At any time of the day, as long
as daylight lasts, the dog barber will
be found at work on the Seine en-
bankment. Seated on campstool,
and generally surrounded by an ad-
miring crowd, he clips and shaves ac-
cording to the directions given him
by the owner. The banks of the
Seine have been selected for his OPP
erations because the river is handy
to battle the animal after he has been
clipped and combed.-Golden Penny

FaIr-Haired Race in Ancient Egypt.

NOVEL AIRsHIPs.
Invented and Tested for the Coming
Contest at ST. Louis.

Three more airships have been in
vented, and will be entered in the
Worlds Fair aerial tournament to
compete for the grand prize OF
100000
w. M. Morris, a Monte Vista, Col,
mining engineer, is one of the con-
tsetants. His machine will be 80 feet
in diameter and $50 feet long when
fully rugged. Aluminium will be the
material used in its construction, but
no gas bag will used as in other flying
machines.
E. A. Kinder, a Denver, Col, man,
has completed a model for an airship
and conducted satisfactory test. He
will enter it in the contest for the
800 900 prize at the fair. Safety ap-
planes are a feature of the airship.
Canvas flaps three feet wide extend
entirely around the balloon as on
Stevens airship. These are limp ex-
cept in sudden descent, when they
open out like umbrellas or para
chutes, and are large enough to check
descent to a gentleness devoid of
danger should the gas bags fail com
pletely. Motive power is furnished
by a storage battery.
The frame work, which is made OF
aluminium and light steel tubing, with
the motor. battery and propeller,
which is six feet from tip to tip and
has four blades, will weigh about 300
pounds. A test was made recently
of the model The machine is said
to have described a circle about so
feet in diameter, rising, dipping and
finally descending to its moorings
without hitch in its mechanism.
Streator. H.. will be represented in
the aerial tournament by an airship
planned by Mr.. Refreshed of that
town. Reiferschied's machine con-
sists of balloon pointed at both ends

Around this balloon strips of alumni
mum strong enough to make sub
stantial framework At each end are
propellers, six in all, to be used in
raising and lowering the machine and
to assist in guiding it. A six horse

the motive power. and the balloon
will be filed with hydrogen gas and
Theoretically sealed. Large fans will
provide a safety device, which will
permit the ship to slowly descend in
case the balloon collapses.-Scientific

Strengthened out. The stockholders
are chiefly in New England Canada
and Pennsylvania and at the solicita
ton of some of them John G. Carruth,
of Philadelphia, has been appointed
receiver, while an injunction has been
issued to prevent the sale of the prop

The starting of the company was In
1890 with the booming of the cities of
Sault ste. Marie. both on the banks
of the St. Mary river-one in Canada,
the other in Michigan. At this time
the latter contained 1900 people; the
former 1900. The development which
has taken place in the meantime has
sent the population ahead rapidly I'M
til $4,000 people We're nestled where
there were 10,500 not long ago.
The trouble began when r. d. Perry,
director in a Toronto bank, objected
to its carrying so much of the paper
of the Consolidated. The result was
its large holdings were put upon the
market and broke the price it had been
selling for before. Other Canadian
banks followed and the credit of the
industrial organization became so i'm
paired by the low prices obtained for
the security that it was soon at the
end of it's borrowing resources.
AFR Clergue is a man Of vim. About
1890 he appeared upon the scene 20
make a thorough examination of the
rich mineral deposits about the twin
cities and the shipping facilities posi-
bic in connection Herewith. Before
the inspection was completed he was
satisfied there were enormous posi-
bilities of enrichment in the building
of a chain Of cities between the wat
erways and the mines with the chief
one at Sault Ste. Marie. In his enthu-
siasm he believed that a community OF
l .O00. 600 souls. would be gathered there
within ten years, with dozen otner
cities of from 100 to 100000 people

liant and daring. All Canada thrilled
with anticipation and Clergue was styl-
