L day passes without my seeing one or
more OF them.
To begin at the top, there are, just
under the roof, a number OF barn swal-
lows nests, literally plastered to the
woodwork. From the barn floor they
look somewhat like halves of inverted
cones made roughly OF brown mud, but
Ii one Chambers up the piles or nay,
and crawls over the beams to the nests

hollow in the top of each, lined with
soft and silky feathers, on which the
~thin-shelled eggs are deposited. In ia

little window, the glass panes CT which
have long since disappeared. In the

thousands Of miles away, in South

The mental picture Of that old window

the needed courage 10 press on through
wind and rain storm, and they must
never find it closed to them. Early in
May they will be back, as surely as the
month itself.
No less lOvable tenants are a pair OF
phoebes which every year build their

of the barn. One of them, at least, is

making frequent darts into the air for

snap of it's bill for each.
Far up under the roof lives a litt,>
brown bat, and in the daytime he may
often be seen hanging by his hind
feet, head ~downwards, his folded wings
giving him the appearance of being
suspended in a bag. About the time

work of destroying insects, which he

In selecting the name Sequoyan LOT

fitting and very proper honor upon one
of the leading members of the Cherokee
nation. who did NOR ethan anyone else
to advance the of education ana
civilization among his tribe.
The name Sequoyah to-day Is chlehy
associated with the big trees OF Callfor-
MIA. but when used as a botanical name
the word is spelled S2quoia, says the
New York Times. Probably few per-
sons. however, know that SeQuoysn,
from whom the mammoth trees were
named. and who is now to be honore Ia
the name of a state, was the inventor OF
the Cherokee alphabet. This famous In
dian. whose memory deserves to be bet
ter known, was born about 176O, and his
early life was spent i'll the village Oh
| Tuskegee. Tenn. Among the white men
he bore the name of George Guess, and
as a Young man was noted as a success
full hunter and trapper. He possessed an
inventive turn of mind and was a Skill
full worker in silver ornaments.
On one of his hunting expeditions ne
broke his leg, and during his enforced
idleness Sequoyah's attention was d.
| rected toward devising an alphabet Tor
| the Cherokee language. He realized the
Importance OF written characters among
the white men, and after months of hard
work he submitted to the leading men
of his tribe his alphabet, consisting OF
IS characters.
Seauoyah was laughed at, and even
his wife called him a fool for spending
so much time in making queer charac-
ters. He succeeded, however, in formu-
iating a list Of characters expressing
every sound in the Cherokee tongue. 1t
was put to a severe test. The mission
aries among the Indians were quick to
appreciate its value, and about 1871
Seouoyah had the supreme satisfaction
of seeing his alphabet adopted by the
Cherokees. With minor changes. Sc
nuoyah's characters are in use to-day.
and educators have called his alphabet
one of the most perfect ever devised &c
express any written language. Sc
ouoyah died in 1843.
The first printing press to use Sc
ouoyan's alphabet was set up at New
