Dangers OF Contact with Civilization an6

Probably In a state of wild nature
birds never make mistakes. but where
they come In contact with our civillza

tons they very naturally make mis-
takes. For instance. their cunning IL
nest-building sometimes deserts them
The art Of the bird is to conceal ITS
nest both as to position and as to ma.
terial, but now and then 1t ia 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.

the past generations Of her tribe have

developed. But phoebe now frequently
builds under our sheds and porches,

moss TO dry grass or shreds Of bark
would be an advantage to her. But she

AN UNKNOWN LAND

Parta Of Old Roman Empire which NO
Modern IrGvsIsr Has Ever Seen.
Few people appreciate the fact thar
to-day, at the DAVIS Of the twentieth
century there are still parts Of the OLD
Roman Empire where no Traveller OF
modern times has been; hat there are
ancient towns which no tourist mas
seen, temples and towers that no lover.
of classic architecture has delighted IN,
Inscriptions in ancient Greek that no
savant has as yet eciphered-whole
regions, In fact, full Of antiquities Tor
which no Baedeker has been written,
and which are moi shown upon tEe

our temperate zone where no modern
European foot has trod, so far rs we
are able to tell-regions where the CIV
ilization OF Greece and Rome once
flourished, and where fine monuments
Of classic art, and Of an unfamiliar art
that supplanted the classic, waste their
beauties upon the ignorant sight OF
half civilized nomads.
To realize the truth Of this enc needs
only to cross the ranges of mountains
that run parallel TO the eastern coast OF
the Mediterranean, and, avoiding all
caravan routes. journey independently
about the barren country that lies be-
tween these mountains and the Eu-
pirates. Here is territory which.
though not wholly unexplored is full
Of most wonderful surprises. Here are
cities and towns long deserted, not so

truer picture Of the life OF the ancient
Inhabitants than one can draw from
those famous ruins. These towns are
not buried, like the great cities OF the
Mesopotamian plains, nor have tier
sites been built upon in modern times,
as those Of the classic cities OF Greece
have been; they stand out against The
sky upon high ridges OF lie sheltered in
sequestered valleys. presenting 10 the
view of the traveller as he approaches

serted by those Inhabitants some 1900
years ago,-IIoward Crosby Butter, in

the introduction Of color in the trim

lace or lace and batiste waists there is
now visible faint blue, green or pink
touch Of embroidery, or there will be a
lining Of some color. As yet the all
black is untouched, but that, too. will
undoubtedly soon have color intro

on black waists is already coming IN
style, while fancy laces and passemen.

Among the papers of the late Dr. c. NJ
O'Dell was found a petition dated April
p, 1853 for the institution of lodge of

following individuals: Elijah G. Hazard,
o. w. Rowland, NJ. ID. Hazard, l.. NJ.

such lodge, eight, possibly nine persons
are still in the land of the living.
John II. Charles and Ed. B. Longwell,
Paw Paw druggists, were each arraigned
before Justice Rowland yesterday charg-
ed with violation of the local option law,
and each waived examination aud gave
bail to appear before the circuit court
for trial at the next September term.
The gist of the charge against each of
them is selling intoxicating liquors in
quantities of more than three gallons or
more than y quart bottles to the same
person or persons at one and the same
time and so becoming wholesale dealers
under the general liquor law of the state.
The only difference in the charge brought
against the two gentlemen is that Long
