RELIEVING A CuRArE.

About four weeks ago Madison Avenue pastor who likes to be first in the eyes, ears and hearts of his congregation had occasion to discuss seriously with his curate one of that young mans habits"
 There have been complaints" said the pastor severely, that you talk too much. Not gossip, understand; oh, no, nothing of that sort, but certain par ishioners have found you loquaeious-- long -winded, one might say. At a christening, at a wedding, at fun eral or at any little meeting over which you may be called to preside you talk much more than is reces- sary. That may in time become a seri- ous fault. There are certain prescrib- ed forms for those occasions, you know. Now, if you would only keep your discourse down to the proper length-"
 The curate braced himself for fight.
 "I could keep myself down." he in- terrupted, '1f l was allowed to talk a little some place else. The trouble lis, Pm something with, certain amount of talk that I've got to get rid of If I was allowed to preach a regular sermon once in while that might relieve the strain, but as I am denied that outlet I have to seize all those other opportunities and deliver little sermons then. The only way to keep a curate or anybody else from talking too much when he shouldn't talk is to let him talk some when he has right to talk"
 Dear mel" said the pastor mildly.
 The next Sunday evening the cur ate occupied the pulpit-New York Sun.

HOME OF THE HUNDnNG BIRD.

This home of the humming-bird is tic creations of all bird architecture.
 It is a tiny, delicate cup, made of the softest plant-down, saddled upon some rather slender branch, so deftly that | it seems a part thereof. The saliva of
 the birds is used to compact and se-
 cure the material, and likewise to coat the exterior with the gray-green lieh- ems so generally found upon trees. This makes it so assimilate with the
 surroundings that it is very difficult
 object to discover. And thereby hangs
 tale. A gentleman had told me that, | if I would call upon him, he would
 show me an occupied nest of hum ming-bird In his orchard When I
 came, he was out of town, but I thought I would see if could find the nest myself So made inspection from tree to tree, and presently the female hummer began to fly about me
 anxiously. We played a game of hot
 and cold, until it became evident that the nest must be in a certain low ap-
 pie tree which had many dead, lich-
 en- covered branches. Some of these
 came down nearly to the ground, and for quite a while stood by the tree, running my eyes along each branch in
 order trying to make out the nest, while the female kept darting fran tically at my head. It must have been
 nearly a quarter of an hour before discovered that was standing al-
 most touching the nest with my hands,
 having been looking right over it all
 the time. It contained two fresh eggs,
 this being in the early part of June. The branch upon which it was built
 was completely overgrown with lich- ems, and the nest being covered with them, too, was wonderfully disguised, though there, were no leaves to hide 1t. l Though the art museums of
 Europe, may have some treasures of (which America cannot boast, our con- tinent has the distinction of monopo- Fly of the worlds supply of humming- birds, the gems of all the feathered creation. Of these there are said to be some 400 species--the 400 we may we'll call them!--nearly all of which are pe- culiar to the tropical regions Only IS cross the borders of the United States from Mexico, and occur only in our southwestern States.
 The popular idea is that the hum
 mer lives only on honey, gathered
 from flowers, This is a mistake. The
 bird does secure some honey, but it's food consists mainly of the small in-
 sects which frequent the flowers. Some
 of these insects are injurious to the
 blossom, and the tiny bird fulfils a
 useful function in destroying them.
 That the hummer is insectivorous is
 also shown by it's habit of catching
 tiny insects on the wing, which is oc-
 casionally observed.-H. K. Job in

PUT AWAY PICKLES
Mathematician Figures Out the Food
 Question.


 If anyone requires a clear head it is the teacher of mathematics. He must reason in the abstract as it were and full concentration of mind is necessary if correct results are to be forthcoming
 An Ohio man writes:
 'I am a teacher of mathematics and for 15 years prior to four years ago. ] either took a lunch composed of cold sandwiches, pickles, etc, to school or hurried home and quickly ate a hot dinner,
 "The result was went to my after. noon work feeling heavy, dull of brain and generally out of sorts. Finally ] learned about Grape-Nuts and began to use 1t for my noon-day lunch. : From the first experineeed a great change for the better. The heavy. un- pleasant feeling and sour stomach caused by the former diet disappeared The drowsy languor and disinclination to work soon gave way to a brightness and vim in my afternoon work, a feel l ing entirely new to me. My brain responded promptly to the requirements put upon it, and what is Bof more importance, the results have .een lasting and more satisfactory. the &longer I have used Grape-Nuts as a {food.
 My wife had been suffering from i weak stomach accompanied by sick headaches nearly all her life. She is invariably relieved of these when she ticks to Grape Nuts, either eaten dry pr with milk. Her stomach has grad rally grown stronger and her head 2 aches less frequent since she began b eat Grape Nuts" There's a Rea- son" Name given by Postum Co.,, Bat 7 lie Creek, Mich.
