Some one has said that the
lives Of animals seldom, if
ever, have a happy ending.
Maybe that is not true Of birds,
but it was startling how many
stories described untimely ends,
accidents, captivity and other
things that are sad in a free
dom-loving birds life whether
caused by people and enemies,
or simply by nature. There
were many jolly little tales, too,
about mischievous crows and
parrots, and pretty nature
stories about snowbirds, cana
ries, tanagers, bluejays, Wrens,

TOPIC-A BIRD STORY.

IRTAIN it is that birdlings only few days
old could never in the wide world take
prize for beauty. There never was such
an ugly being as a young bird, thought
the Juniors; and some were uglier than
others, if that were possible, because they
consisted mostly of mouth and did not
have any body worth mentioning. And
how they squalled and squaWked! They
were eating constantly, and when they
were not they were calling for more and
telling everybody how hungry they were
and how they had not had bite all day

the beautiful summer scenes

ROBIN A-WOOING.
A Tender Song with Exclama-
tons Thrown In.
(PriZe.)

T T was an evening, late in
i April, when the days were
lengthening fast. The sun,
almost out of sight, was she'd
ding his last soft glow over the
still surface of the earth. The
lovely silver moon, hung low in
the eastern sky, tried to rival
her golden lord in the west.
Out on the clear spring air
broke gently the 'tweet-tweet"
of a robin. My eyes soon
sought him out, perched on a
branch Of a maple tree. His
head was tipped up and from
his tiny throat came gentle,
coaxing notes. I looked higher
and saw the object of his ten
der song. She sat daintily on
twig, her little head tilted CO.

sang on coaxingly, but she
moved not a muscle. Then
came a more insistent pleading

 But to return to the foot trimmings.

 And speaking of the new methods it is to bc noted what very different lines tho bodice takes on in the very latest pro- auctions of the best houses of Paris. Drapcd skirts arc, for the present, at least, hidden behind the curtain. for draped bodice is the one that Will as suredly prevail in the coming autumn modes. The lining is inst the same as W" have always had II seems; and the set over the shoulders is still smooth. But from the shoulders down and cs- pecillly over the bust. 1t will take clever hand to adjust the bouffart drap- cries SO that the figure Is not forcshort- ened and made to look thick and bunchy.
 The tall and slender girl will simply revel in the all-drapcd corsaFc and one new model seems especially built for hnr wearing. This has the soft satin mcssa- lre-the original model Is in chestnut brown shirred into the center back scam and again at each side of the plain front fastening. The folds are disposed In a slightly bias line. the slant being down ward, and every line and curve of thc figure is defined and even accentuatcd in this style.

There al" some very clcy- CT designs in frames fashioned "f tap,s and held in shape with strips of feather bone-this latter being less stlH and un- yielding than whalebouc. They fasten with lacing In front. and the wcprtr can draw them just as loose or as tight as she pleascs. and they give that slop- ing line to the waist in front to perfec- tion. The covering of these is but matter of A few moments and a few stitches. though one clever girl con fesses that hers are all fashioned with pins and with some individual designs in cravats to match these smart cein- ures quite q little repertoire for wear with white costumes can be had with the minimum of trouble and expense.
 Another clever little accessory is the new escalior or ladder fashioned If vel vet ribbons These are delightful addi- tions to the new wash taffetas and linen blouses. and when developed in a striking color-and all color contrasts must now be of the striking order-they can be made to be vastly becoming.

NORTH DAKOTA Ignite and other fuels
are to have thorough tests at st. Louis
by experts of tho geological survey tho
coming summer, If congress will supply
the money to pay the exports. There
will be tests of the steam and gas-pro-
ducing qualities of Goals of various
kinds; their adaptability to briquetting
and coking, and the possibility of secur-
ing from these Goals such important by
products as creosotc for timber preserv-
alton: pitch and tar for road building,
roofing, briquetting, ETC.: ammonium
salts for fertilizing purposes, etc., and
the extent to which the various Goals
may be improved in quality by washing
and other operations. The tests of
North Dakota Ignite will be more ex-
tensive than is possible with machinery
now in use in this country. For briquet-
ting an English machine will be brought
from Leeds, whore it has been in sue
cessful operation for number of years.
