BODY TAKEN UP.
Remains of Lieutenant Orrick Dis
inferred at Berkeley Springs.

The remains of Johnson Orrick who
was lieutenant in the Confederate
army, were taken up at Berkeley
Springs at the request OF his wife who
lives in Baltimore, and sent to that
city. Sometime during the war, per-
haps in 1868, he was riding along the
road and was shot and killed by a
man named Pusell and the remains
were inferred in the old English grave
yard IN Berkeley Springs, where they
remained until Monday.

II is very plain why tine democrats

gress. His money was the incentive,
not his ability. Compare Jim Lakin,
young man, with Tom Davis. II

which one is better suited to represent
this district in congress. Don't be

of the better element of the democracy.

ANIMAL ARCHITECTS.
Many Birds, Insects and Fishes Are
Clever Builders.

|
Clever Builders.
Many birds, insects and certain
fishes are clever architects and
builders and have mastered some Of
the rudiments of masonry, and at
least one bird is a very clever stone
mason. The last is called by the
Spaniards the ''pedrero," or stone
mason. In Great Britain it is known
as the wheatear. 1t usually builds
in a deep crevice in a cliff, but often
it chooses a low excavation or cave
and sets TO work. 1t uses no NOR
tar, although some other birds can
mix mortar to any degree of hard
ness. 1t first collects a number of
stones and places them together as
a foundation for the future nest.
Next it builds a dry stone wall in
front of the place the nest is to oc-
cupy. This is often a solid barrier,
in which the stones are piled in such
a way as to make it almost as thick
as it is long. The barrier of stones
in front of one nest examined by
writer on the subject was nine inch
es long, nine inches thick and two
and half inches high. In this bar
rier there were no fewer than 282
stones. In the foundation of the
nest were rs more, making 348 in
all, of which the total weight was
four and half pounds, the largest
stone weighing two ounces. Having
thus made the foundation and wall
of stone, it builds inside the latter
a comfortable nest, the upholstering
Of which is in no way deficient in
finish.
Swallows and house martins build
by sticking together pellets of pre-
pared road mud Most of the ma
terial is obtained from the drying
puddles on the high roads. If not
mixed with anything else the tend
ency of these pellets would be to
crumble when dry. But the swallow
tribe are supplied with a mucous
secretion which enables them to
gum the particles together. The
swallows nests from which the CHI
nese "birds' nest soup" is L.lGe
are constructed Of this mucous nj
ter only. An Indian swallow, Itch
builds little boat shaped nets
against the trunks sof lofty trees,
practically makes them of driel "a

Sir John Malcolm, q wen known
Scotch mge0n, ON the Introduction
Of vaccine incubation into India,
the practice met with great opposi-
ton from tie natives In order TO
overcome their preiudices Mr. Ellis
of Madras, who was vel versed in

short poem on vaccination in that
language. The poem vas inscribed
on old paper and was said 10 have
