A WREN IN AN ORIOLES NEST

Jenny wren is famous for the odd
places in which she builds her nest
mail boxes, tin cans, old hats, water
ing pots, human skull on battle
field-in each case perhaps the first
thing the birds came across with
hole in it and room for enough sticks
or stiff feathers.
And so I was not much surprised TO
find a wren builiing inside of new
Baltimore orioles hanging cradle.
Was ever wren so particular! was the
natural thought. Imagine young wrens
being swayed to sleep in a hanging
nest on the end of slender elm
bough. 1t did seem obsurd: and yet
the nest contained several eggs,
which doubtless Matched, The usual
wren house or tree hollow and SO no
doubt the young wrens grew to peep
fro mtheir swaying nest, and later to
leave it, having the strange expert
ence, wrens, of being born and
raised in an orioles uest. From Ma
ure and Science in st. Nicholas.

EVERYDAY FANCIEs.
BY Mrs. N. A. Kidder.

II the poor should cease from out our
land,
And the needy be no more,
Then what would become of the open
hand,
And the rich mans borrowed store!
Thought his wealth should reach to
the azure sky,
The fields would all unfrnitful lie,
For with lack of need, aud no mouths
to feed,
Man never would plant or SOW the
seed.
We never should list to the factory
bell,
Or the engines labored puff,
To the busy throngs that buy and
sell,
If we mortals had enough.
The idle ships on lazy tide,
With white sails folded would rock
and ride;
With all settled and no lack of bread,
Trade would be gone and commerce
dead.
If tina rich should cease from out
the land,
And the Master lead no more,
Then what would become Of the
working band
That look UP for their modest
store?
With no master hand the work to
plan,
And no money to pass from man to
man,
This world would be in it's misery
AS bad a world as one could see.
Then wen be contented with our call,
And quarrel with fate no more;
For the rich and poor are brothers
all,
From the king to the humble sower.
Let the world so on in the old time
way,
With its sunshine bright, and its
shadows gray;
With it's needy hands, that the gen
erous hands
May ba ready to give as the case de-
mands.

FOOD FOR SQUIRRELS.

Most people who feed the gray
squirrls in the big parks fail to reali-
re that tits no kindness to give these
animals such soft-shell nuts as al
monds. peanuts and chestnuts. HUI
man beings who do not have to act
ually forage for food naturally enough
feel that it is thoughtfulness itself to
save the squirrels work. The fact is,
however. that squirrels teeth grow
so rapidly that, deprived of their nor
NAL use, they might even through
their very uselessness become long
enough to put this charming rodent
of the trees in danger of starvation.
Hickory, pecan and hazel nuts are the
proper food to throw eo sRe
squirrels. -Breoklyn Life.

BEES MARKET BASKET.

Every bee carries his market bas-
ket around his hind legs. Anyone ex-
aiming the body of the bee with
microscope will observe that on the
hind legs of the creature there is
fringe of stiff hairs, approaching
each other at the tip so as to form a
sort of cave. This is the bees bas-
ket and into it, after a successful
Journey he will cram enough pollen
to last him for two or three
days.-The Epitomist.

CHARACTER IN BUILDINGS.

Every race and every age uncon-
sciously write their character in the
buildings which they erect, in the
kind of furniture they put in them
and the kind of streets on which they
place them. If a great American city
were buried 1000 years under mass
of ashes, as Pompeii was, and was
then excavated, it would be plainly
seen what manner Of people had lived
in it. Our "sky scrapers" and tun-
mel sand mechanical conveniences
would show how ingenious we were
and how our laws permitted every
man to build without regard to shut
ting off his neighbours sunshine; they
would show how we did business and
how we cared chiefly for saving time
and making money. Our city would
show that we cared less for beauty
than men did in former times. 1t
would show that a few people we're
as rich as kings and lived in palaces,
but that there were hundreds of
ed tenements like ants in an ant
hill. Our school buildings would
show how we cared for education and
our churches would indicate our
manner of worship. All our good and
bad qualities would be revealed by
the things we had made, even if all
the books about us had perished.-

Talk About Architecture" in st.

CIVIC IMPROVEMENT POEM
He wanted city beautiful,
A city that should be fair;
A city where smoke should never roA
In pillows upon the air.
He wanted city where art should
be,
A city Of splendid halls,
Where cultures touch should appear
upon
The battlements and walls.
He called for city beautiful;
He shouted it day by day;
He wanted city where noise was
not,
Where the spirit of art should sway.
He wanted a city that should be falr'
Where filth might never be seen
And forget, in spite of the zeal ne
