THE TROLLEY LINE.

The extension of the country trolley
line is progressing at marvellous rates
with an effect upon the country ar
large which is wholly beneficial. Hum
dreds of small towns and country com.
munities are being brought into direct
touch with markets and modern means
OF transportation. For all local and
suburban traffic these roads are every
way preferable to the steam road,
whether for passenger or freight sery-
ice. Should there be tiny agitation to-
secure such line Of road in your vi.
cinity give 1t q hearty and cordial sup
port, for if 1t is built adjoining your
farm the building Of 1t willsat once add
$2o per acre to the value Of it. Tie

IS destined to be the most desirable
home In America in the near future. !.

1t has been said that the one thing
which marks the dividing line between
man and the animal creation Is the
moral sense. While this is true, 1t IS
almost equally true that the art sense
in man is almost as good test. The
mammalia without exception are des-
titute Of this sense, the lair of the lion,
the hole of the fox, the den OF all TO-
dents, being bare of any adornment
The birds, however, are not wholly de-
ficient in this respect. While the flesh
eating birds are closely allied tc their
counterparts in the. animal world In
home building, the nests Of the eagle,
hawk, crow, raven, condor and bnzzard
being but bird shanties Of the crudest
construction, nothing could be more
artistic than the nest of the humminz
bird or goldfinch or oriole, while the
bower bird of Australia will decorate
its home with every available bright
and pretty thing 1t can secure. While
bright co!ors attract birds, they dis
turb aud often. infuriate wild animals.
