The sunbtrd.

Very curious are the nests of the sun
bird, scarcely larger than a butterfly.
It chooses some exposed spot, probably
close to the public road, and proceeds
10 build on an overhanglng twig. The
finishing touches being put to the small
abode, it is left, according to one au-
thority, severely alone until spiders
have woven their webs over and around
It, Another naturalist says that the
birds themselves turn ragmen and, col.
Letting any rubbish they can find in the
way Of moss, faded leaves, ends Of cot
ton and other such trifles, stick them
on the outside Of the nest by means OF
pieces of purloined webs. In either
case the result is the same, and they
make their future home a thoroughly
disreputable object. Then, and not till
then, does the little hen sunbird lay
her two greenish white eggs, which she
matches under the shelter of small
porch which has been constructed over
the nest shielding her from sun aud
rain.

A Missing Five Franc piece.

Fully half the grownup people OF
France believe the old story that Napo
leon Bonaparte put check for 100, OOC
francs in a silver five franc piece and
that the coin is yet in circulation. They
say that the people did not want the
five franc piece and that in order to
create a demand for it Napoleon re
sorted to the device mentioned. The
check or treasury order, it is said, was
written upon asbestus paper and in.
closed in the metal at the time the coin
was made. Thousands of five franc
pieces are annually broken open and
have been so inspected since the story
of the check was first circulated.

work it, spreading it over the cornea or

Justice TO Women Will Give
Them a Right To Vote.

The great argument in favor of
woman suffrage is not that it will
make politics purer and better, bus
that it is demanded by that
equality which is justice. Woman
shares with man the whole burden
of the State, she bears and rears
the soldiers and lsborers. She con
tributes by domestic labor to the
income and resources of the States.
There is a growing class OF inds-
pendent women who own property
and manage business affairs. Even
were it true, which it is not, it lie
no argument to say women are rep
resented by their fathers, brothers
and husbands. The great law OF
equal justice requires that they
have this political power in their
own right. 1t is simply silly to
say only bad and ignorant women
will vote, for experience shows the
best women vote when they have
the chance, and it opens their in-
tellectual eyes. As women are in
fact purer than men, 50 their in
tiux will make politics purer, but

Games land, including improve
ments, to make him equal with
other heirs.

ley place, the Reid tract and enough

al property be sold as soon as con.
yenient after his death, and that
an equal division be made among
his children. All the children are
charged with advancements.

ton "Let everything be done

and love reign in your lives for
ever"
j. Coleman Reid; w. H. Reid and

two Executors will carry out the
terms of the will

and d. g. Howell were appointed
appraisers of the estate, which is
estimated to be worth 100000.
