The skyIark.

Skylarks are rather prolific Dirus,
having two broods in the year, ana
often laying as many as five eggs
though four Is the usual number. Inc
nest is so difficult to find that II Is
practically never discovered except by
Incident, as when, for instance, the
hayHelds are mown, or what Is being
hoed. The bird very seldom nests near
the margin of a field, where 1t might
be put off its nest by passersby- On
the shores Of the North sea skylarks
will nest In the Dents" and MARIAN
close to the edge Of the sand hills
though they have to fetch food to their
young from considerable distance.
There is always something very pleas
ing in the sight Of a lark's nest. 1t Is
usually sunk In a hollow, and, unlike
the nests OF many ground building
birds, is most carefully made, the cup
being deep and perfectly circular, and
lined with very fine grasses, though
the outer part is made Of rough, dead
bents. and often Of most irregular
shape in order to I'LL up the hole IN
which it is made.-London Spectator.

The RIoody HIND,

The noted English family Of the
Hotties has for It's badge a bloody hand,
and this sinister badge commentaries
a wager that ended in a crime. Sir
Thomas Holte, one day In 1872, was
hunting. He invited his comrades
home with him to dinner, and as he
rode along he made a heavy bet on his
cooks punctuality. But the cook fail
ed him for once; when he got home din
ner was not ready. The jeers Of his
companions at this failure, together
with his huge loss in the matter of the
wager, enraged him so that he ran into
the kitchen, seized a cleaver and split
che cooks head open with it. After
ward his family, to keep this crime
alive, adopted for its crest the bloody
hand Of the cook killer.

Might RIOaaOna.

Many flowers, natives most OF them
of regions where the day Is intensely
hot, expand their blossoms at night.
Notable among them is the Victoria
Regia, which opens its splendid calyx
near the Amazon at nightfall ana
closes 1t 1T dawn.
The queen of the night blooms for
one night only, and has It's home on
the islands Of the Caribbean sea. The
triangular cactus, whose flowers are a
foot In length and width, follows the
same habit.
From Virginia comes the biennial
oenothera, or might light" which was
brought to England in 1914 because its
twisted red root could be eaten as
salad
Among British night flowers are the
rocket, or night violet, the evening
primrose and the campion. The white
or yellow color and the fragrance OF
these flowers of nocturnal habit attract
rowing moths, which carry the pollen
and 80 fertilize the plants.-London
Standard.
