Enthusiastic Bird Architect.

The process of the building Of a
birds nest is always interesting, and
the most wonderful of all nests, those
of the weaver birds, can always be
seen in the making by any one who
will buy a few males of the African
red billed weaver, which cost about
half crown each. This is little bird
much like small hen sparrow, with a
bright red bill and decked in the breed
ing season with pink cap and breast
and a black mask. He is an enthusi-
astic architect and in France is al
ways sold as travailleur, the worker.
Even in the cage he will weave any
fibrous material in and out of the
wires till they are covered, and in an
aviary he will construct beautiful
round nests with the greatest enthusi-
asm, pausing occasionally to swear at

The Evil Eye.

The meaning of the evil eye, the
"ophthalmos baskanos" u the Greeks.
the .fasciEare" of the Romans, was
probably far more than a vulgar super
sition. We find traces of 1t in almost
every country, notably to this day
among the canny Scots who inhabit the
western isles of the sea, of ..Ulva dark
and Colonsay," of Skye and the Heb
rides, and among the Turks, who dis
trust the evil eye Of the stranger. But
in old classical days the power seems
chiefly to have been used for the pur-
pose af grieyously affecting the live
stock Of disagreeable neighbors. So
we find to this day in Ireland parts Of
Scotland and the west of England
where this belief is still prevalent. Ger
tainly, in some form or other. mesmeric
fascination By the eye has always been
known. But that any one person, with
no matter how evil an eye, shout. be
able to charm frightened animals to
any extent or number is ridiculous and
not seriously to be entertained for one
moment Journal.
