How Bird1 Bull Nests,

Swallows and house martins build
by sticking together pellets of pre-
pared road mud. Most of the material
is obtained from the drying puddles
on the high roads. If aot mixed with
anything else the ten iency of these
pellets would be to crumble when dry.
But the swallow tribe is supplied with
4 mucous secretion which enables it
to gum these particle together. The
swallows nests, from which the Chi.
nese "bird's nest Uoup" is made, are
constructed of this mucous matter
only. An Indian swallow which builds
little boat-shaped nests against the
trunks of lofty trees practically
makes them Of dN iel saliva.

THE BIG COCOA PALM.
Grow in Salty Soil, Defying Hurri-
eanee of $hA&Tronicea

Grow in Salty Soil, Defying Hurrl-
/ s2s canes Of the Tropics. 8
The cocoanut means a great deal
to the West Indian negro, says
Country Life. A dark-skinned man
ran lightly up the tall stein, with
=suspiciously prehensile feet, stopping
at the fruit cluster to select and pull
of great nut, which he tossed to
the ground. l examined it with Gu
riosity, for it was little enough like
the cocoanut of the stores in the
north. A smooth green covering,
hard, impervious to anything but a
heavy knife-no wonder the cocoa
palm spreads among these islands!
Boat-shaped, in a sense; light enough
to float easily, the big seed is always
ready for a sea voyage. Cast ashore
on sandy beach, it quickly germin-
ates Qpd holds fast in the salty soil,
soon growing to it's estate of beauty
and fruitfulness and able to defy the
hurricanes of the tropics
Restful as were the isolated cocoa
palms, it was not until l came upon
real grove of them that I could
fully appreciate the tropical latitude.
A visit to "Crusoe beach, fringed by
the great palms, hanging full of heavy
nuts, with liberty to wander where
the sandy ground-it was winter,
mind you!-was covered, not with
fallen leaves of oak and beech, but
with great honds eight or ten feet
long dropped from the clean-stemmed
giants with feather-duster heads
this took away the last memory of
the ice-bound and coal-smoked north.

could be done decided to wait there at the station
There many people there it and of
not pleasant waiting long Father had gone down
town for something to eat and eating break
fast. The clerk came in while eating and
nounced that the train going to certain town towns
had just arrived who sitting
jumped up, seized his hat coat and yase and started
out Suddenly he stopped and began to think The clerk
him and asked him what the matter. He told
him that he had forgotten something but he could not
think what it AS there but little time to
search for it, the clerk said Beter get your wife and
children and hurry up' sOh,' said the man. with

THE "ToEo OF ROMANCE.

I think about the funniest
remark that I have ever heard
is one that my mama told me
last winter. a little girl
made it at Christmas time.
This little girl had heard a
great deal Of talk about the
mistletoe and had been won
dering to herself just what it
was. About that time her
papa was so unfortunate as
to hurt his toe. One evening
as the doctor was dressing it,
the little girl stood near and
looking oyer at it she said,
Well, I suppose that is what
you call a mistletoe.''
