HOME BUILDING OF A BIRD.
Remembers Use Formerly Made of
Thread in Making Nest.

On May-day morning, we, sitting
under the branches of a maple tree,
suddenly noticed a cardinal bird dill
gently bustling about under the hedge
row, says writer in Harper's Maga-
zine. She looked at us, then fiirted the
leaves about in tremendous 'pother,"
pulled bark fibers, filling her mouth
with material, then tossing 1t reckless.
ly away; slipping up and down through
the hedge, necessarily calling out
Chip" Chip" and flying ostentatious-
ly into the maple above our heads, de-
porting herself in manner that plain
ly betokened wish for somebody to in
terest himself in her affairs. Naturally,
we were the ones she had in mind, as
no one else was in sight, so, as l idly
watched 1t gradually dawned upon me
she must be the last years tenant of
our garden, and remembering old IA
vors, wars bidding for new, andI hastily
ran into the house for some thread with
which to test her memory.
l lightly laid the first strand of spool
cotton on the grapevine trellis, when,
like a flash. the bird darted to it and
swept away with it down into the gar
den. This proved her identity. A new
cardinal would have been quite ignor-
ant of the uses to which thread could
be put, but this little homemaker had
sampled the material last year and the
year previous and found 1t good. Thus,
you see, she remembered, and, as her
nest was not even started, showed her
preference at the outset, and also knew
where to come. While she was gone on
her journey pulled yards more of the
thread from the spool, breaking it into
lengths Of yard and half or two
yards, festooning 1t along the trellis and
on the grapevine. Back she came, and
almost beneath my hand gathered up
thread after thread, until she had a
mouthful, then off again around the
corner of the house. Again and again
she returned, in a positive ecstacy of
delight over the thread.

aid. Schools Of herring visit St Pierre
and should be secured when opportu-
nifty offers. From one school last fall
1t Is estimated that several thousand
barrels could have been secured. Caplin,
much esteemed bait for use In July,
seldom fails to come to these islands
to spawn, and 1t is thought that with
proper regulations the supply will be
equal to the demand.
Among all the bank fishermen squid
are considered good bait at any season
and may be caught In fair quantities
about these shores; In the past this Is
the one bait supply that has not been
lost through lack Of taking or preserv-
Ing. Notwithstanding French fisher
men are seriously handicapped in their
efforts to secure bait, careful inquiry
establishes the fact that there is an
abundance of salt sQuid and herring
for the first trip.
Vigorous preparations are being
made for the coming season, and the
Indications are that the tonnage sailing
from st. Pierre to engage In codfshing
will be more than for a number of
years, among the vessels being many
new ones. With a record Of three bad
years, this renewed enterprise Is CON-
mendable.
The price of Goldfish in France has
advanced to a figure never before
reached, making 1t luxury instead Of
an article Of common consumption.
The French firms are offering st.
Pierre fishermen $3.50 per 100 pounds
for green fish. In drying the shrlnkage
Is 80 per cent, and with the added cost
Of IA cents per pound as the cost OF
drying and transportation, with 90 per
cent profit to the retailer, we have the
total cost to the French consumer of
II cents per pound. In fact, the retail
price at st. Pierre Of dry Goldfish Is 10
cents per pound. France would not,
however, be a good market for Ameri-
can dried Goldfish, as the duty Is pro-
hibitive the market being held for
French fishermen. On the other hand,
st. Pierre cannot enter the United
States markets, where discriminating
duty is levied on bounty-fed Industrial
articles.
The non-competitlve French fisher
men Of st. Pierre therefore argue that
the New England fishermen should

the batting headquarters for both coun-
tries. st. Pierre, although receiving
bounty only on Goldfish, Is starting
movement to establish other fisheries
and erect establishments for smoking,
picking and otherwise preserving fish.

Believed by Jnps.

The japanese believe in more myth.
cal creatures than any other people on
the globe, civilized or savage. Among
these mythical animals are some with
out any remarkable peculiarltles Of
conformation, but gifted with superna-
tural attributes, such as n tiger which
Is said to live until it has become
thousand years old, and then turns as
white as a polar bear The japanese
also believe in multitude of animals
distinguished mainly by their mon
strous size or by the multiplication OF
their members. Among these are SER
pents eight hundred feet long and large
enough to swallow an elephant, foxes
with eight legs, monkeys with four
ears, and fishes with ten heads attach
ed to one body. Japs also believe In
the existence Of crane which, after II
has lived for six hundred years, has no
need of any sustenance except water.

THE SOUTH POLAR TIMES.


The great depression felt by some
polar explorers when shut In by Ice
and cold, writes Lieutenant Armitage
In Two Years in the Antarctic" was
not felt by the men on board the Dis
covery, sent to examine the south polar
lands. Every possible effort was made
to keep the men cheerful and In good
physical condition. Walks over the
ice were taken as a matter of duty,
and that efforts for entertainment were
made Is evidenced by the following ac-
count of their diversions:
At meeting held in the ward room
1t was decided to bring out a monthly
paper, something like a London maga-
zine Each Of us wrote on a piece Of
paper what we thought the best title.
The South Polar Times was the one
chosen. 1t was to be published on the
first of each month; and every member
Of the ships company was invited to
contribute toward making it the most
amusing, instructive, up-to-date jour
nal with the largest circulation within
the antarctic circle. Notwithstanding
this superexcellence, 1t was to be issued
free to all the population Of our small
colony, the cost Of production being
ings of the recipients, to say nothing
of the advertisers. A rival magazine,
named the Blizzard, which was brought
out to afford a voice for poetical effu-
Times, did not survive the first number.
On most days during the first month
Of the winter the clicking Of the type
writer could be heard in Shackleton's
cabin as he busily "set up the paper !;
and frequently a shy and conscious
looking blue jacket would enter the ed
itors sanctum to ask his advice. A box
was placed outside the office for the
receipt of contributions, but would-be
authors much preferred a personal au-
dience; so our editor, In self-defense,
removed his office fittings to store
room in the bowels Of the ship.
lNO VI lie VI OuI HISS,
Shackleton and Bernacchi, were very
fond of poetry, and Of course each had
his favorite author. Many were the
arguments raised as to the respective
merits Of Browning and Tennyson, so
1t was decided that ShackletOn should
read extracts from Browning, and Ber-
nacchi from Tennyson, while the re-
mainder of us listened and carefully
judged between the two, voting after
each pair Of extracts had been read.
Their declaimed in their best style, en-
deavoring to point out the beauty Of
the passages chosen by them.
Ferrar caused much amusement, aft
er an extract from "The Pied Piper Of
Hamelin" had been read by saying,
well, I'm not much on poetry, but
go on rats"
Browning won by single vote.

SCHOOLS oE TO-DAY.
They Aim to Create and Stimulate
Usefulness.

They Aim to Create and Stimulate
Usefulness.
nOw queer it would have seemed to
the sturdy children who kicked with
bare feet against the rude benches of
the district school a century ago to
have been told they were to learn to
cook, to make dresses, to trim hats, to
be boy carpenters, etc! But that was
long before the Old World commenced
to send us hundreds of thousands Of
her people every year. 1t is principally
the children of those who come to
America from other countries who
make the public schools of New York
City the greatest in size and most i'm
portant in the world.
In order to make these young people
as useful as possible. there has been
established in the public schools Of
many of our large cities course of
work that seems to have little to do
with gaining a school education as our
parents used to think of it.
1t has been found necessary, In order
to help the young students minds to
grow in the right way, that the boys
and girls of the schools should have
what their teachers term ethical train
ing" that Is, the training which
teaches duty to self and to others.
These, among other things, are taught /:
Duties to parents, brothers, sisters
and playmates to servants and other
employees; to employers and all in au-
thority; to the old, the poor, and the
unfortunate. Conduct at home, at the
table, at school, ON the street, in public
meetings, and in public conveyances.
Regularity, punctuality, self-control,
cheerfulness, neatness, purity, temper
ance, honesty, truthfulness, obedience,
industry and patriotism.
l peeped into manual training
workroom in big public school of New
York City one day, just to see how the
boys behaved when by themselves, for
no teacher was present. Each hand
was occupied with the task of the mo-
ment, and each head was bent over 1t
in way that showed the keenest inter
est. Instead of looking for a chance to
be mischievous, every boy seemed bent
on doing the work assigned him as If
his whole success in life depended upon
the result. 1t was plain no one even
thought Of play.
You see," said the teacher to me-
when he came in. leach boy wants to
do his very best. That is the spirit we
try to instill. The boy who really
wants to learn the best way to perform
whatever he may be asked to do is the
boy who is certain to gain success In
some degree" This is just as true OF
girls as of boys. and there are hundreds
Of girls-some home helpers and others
among the ranks Of the wage-earners-
who owe the pleasure they draw from
life to the system in vogue in the publ,
schools.-St. Nicholas.

OF all the royal children of Europe
the tonditlon Of none appears more
dubious than that Of Alexis, the car
evitch Of Russia and only son Of the
czar. He was born in August, 1904,
at the very darkest moment Of the
fortunes Of Russia during the war
with Japan. Since then the storm
clouds have become even blacker, for
revolutionary conditions are now rife
throughout the Muscovite empire until
the very existence of the throne Is
menaced. Not only Is 1t question
whether the czarevitch will grow up to
Inherit the throne, but 1t Is even
problem whether the czar shall be
able to retain his crown. Surely be-
fore he becomes Of age Russia shall
have passed through many political
and economic changes.
The photograph itself Is sufficient
proof of how admirably the czarevitch
has thriven In adversely, although this
week there was n rumor that he was
seriously III. The picture was taken at
Tsarskoe Selo at the express wish Of

When BurIfing Garbage.

1t is a mistake to put waste cabbage
leaves, potato parings, etc. direct on
the fire. Put at the back of the fire,
where it will dry without burning. 1t
may afterward be raled ON to the EN-
bers and burned rapidly without smell.
Potato parings dried in the oven or
under the CRATE during the night are
useful for fire klndling in the morn
