Triumph Of Good Manners.

Before the gentler treasures OF In.
ternational high breeding the mis-.
chievous maxim, "Our Country, Right
or Wrong" must increasingly give
way, says the Century. Willingness
to acknowledge fault, disinclination
to NEEDLE in the affairs Of others,
sympathy for the weak against tho
oppressor, patience and reason as
against petulance, rashness and force,
are as possible to a nation as to an
Individual. A people should be as
jealous Of the nationa4 gentlemanli-
ness as Of the national credit.

4 pers,stent Nest Builder

One of the most energetic nest build
ers is the marsh wren; in fact. he has
the habit to such Il degree that he can
not stop with one nest, but goes on
building four or five In rapid success

about his work either. Look among the
cattails In the nearest marsh, ever
within the limits of a great city, and
YOU Will find his little woven balls OF
reed stems, with q tiny round hole II

No place is sacred to the rat From
a sleeping man to an elephant there Is
nothing which he will not eat Hats
have eaten their way through live

birds. Some years ago the keepers OF
the London geological gardens could

nails on the monsters feet. Apparent
ly they must have fancied the horn or
the rhlnoceros. too. for regularly the
keepers used to find flattened rats
where the rhlnoceros had been lying.
