LOOKING FOR BIRDS

What is the best place to look for
birds? Why, every kind of place has
its charm for different kinds of birds.
Along the little streams or lakes you
can lind dainty sand pipers green her
ons and phoebes. A kingfisher's rat
Ting cry may catch your ear; you may
even see him plunge headlong into the
water and come out with a cleaning
sinner in his big bill. In the marshes
are the beautiful clear piping redwings
and the chuckling marsh wrens. and
you may startle big brown bittern.
Along the roadways the vesper spar
rows may fly ahead of you, showing
their white tail feathers as they go.
The great thing to learn about birds,
after you have come to know n num-
Der of kinds. are: First, that every kind
does things in its own way; second,
that taey group themselves naturally
into families as much by similar habits
as by what scientific men call "charac-
ter" Thus, tlycatchers dart out and
catch insects on the wing. with snap
of the bill, returning to their perch to
wait for another victim. Sparrows like
to be near or on the ground. Wood
peckers like to climb about in the trees.

has been ascertained that, in the main
birds like to follow valleys when they
can, even going back for short dis
tances to. enter a valley that will lead
them IN their true direction. Many
birds do not migrate at all, like the
crows, chickadees and many hawks
and woodpeckers; while others, like
the red'poll linnets, snowfiakes. cross
bills aId butcher birds, come to as only
with very cold wlnters.-St. Nicholas

A Moulting Lobster.

Recently lobster in one of the
aquarium tanks cast his skin. The
process lasted about half an hour. A
split appeared In the thin skin just
in front of the first joint of the tail
(abdomen), and though this opening
the lobster slowly withdrew the fore
part of his body legs and feelers. Then
with jerk the tail was withdrawn.
The old skin was left intact and abso.

Former Wife OF Michael j. Daley Alleges

NEW HAVEN, Conn; June 13.-In the
Superior Court to-day suit was brought
by Mrs. Julia Daley of Waterbury against
the estate OF her husband, Michael j. Daley,
for 800 900.
They were married IN 1881 and three
children were born to tn em. In 1893, ac-
cordlng to the allegations Of Mrs. Daleyi
her husband commenced a systematic
persecution Of her for some unknown reason,
practically kidnapped their three children
and then induced her to go to Montreal,
where, he said, che might have an oppor-
tunity to see the children.
When he got her in Montrealhe succeeded,
90 she swears, In having her put into a re-
treat for the insane, where she remained
for three months. Then she managed
to get her case before the courts there and
abe was liberated as perfectly sane.
Then she obtained a divorce from him In
1894 and alimony Of 81 $500, it being stated
by Daley under oath that he was worth
only $1S 900.
Daley died In Waterbury within six months
and his estate was inventoried at SITS 900,
although some of his friends declared that
he was worth $3.50 900 when he died.
Mrs. Daley brings the suit on the ground
that her husband Bwore falsely when he
said he was worth only $4,000 when she
got her divorce and that she should there
fore be reinstated as his wife and put into
possession of her dover rights, amounting
to about 500 900.
