Last FALL before the opening of the theatrical sea
son the owner of the Mems called to see the Manager
OF IHE TELEGRAM and suggested 'hold-up' in rates
against the management of the Grand Opera House

inaton and acquainted Manager Robinson with the
fact that his rate would be the same as previously paid
Altho the circulation of THE, TELEGRAM has

Curious F0oto About birdot 6qvIfFesA
Beeo and Ants.
1t Is a very common error to be-
lieye that with birds tho knowledge
of building nests is innate. This is
not the case. Birds have to be.
taught this art in just as systematic
q manner as men are trained to BIO
builders.
Birds are undoubtedly born with
the instinct to carry little twigs and
the materials of which nests are
made, but unless they are instructed
in the art of building they will drop
them in o pile and never attempt to
weave them into nests.
AS a rule, it is just after the
young birds have learned to fly that
the older ones begin to teach them
the process of intervening and lin
ing that is necessary to construct
nests. This is most complicated. To
arrange the little twigs 80 that they
will Be symmetrical and strong
enough to hold the weight of the
mother bird and four or five little
ones to a branch of tree requires
good engineering ability.
The lining of. the nest Is usually
of much softer material than that
of which the outside is made, and to
place this neatly is also taught by
the older birds. Humming birds will
often follow COWS for days to pick
up their soft hair with which to line
their nests, and they weave it as
compactly as piece of flannel.
A curious fact might be mention
ed here-that birds which have al
ways been in cages can never make
nests and are pitiably clumsy even
with cotton, wool and material that
has been given to them.
That nest building Is taught is
also true of squirrels and mice, as
we'll as bees, wasps and ants. The
green ant Of Australia, for instance,
Is very clever in the building of its
nest. II appears to consider 1t an
irlcsome duty, however, that can BIO
hired out,
a small spider Is therefore train
ed to do this work and acts as sery-
ant in all things. The green ants
pay the spiders Tor their lRbors in a
coin that they enjoy. It Shy giving
them to eat o portion of the innu-
merable eggs that the ants lay. This
Is a most agreeable arrangement for

Tho Umbrella.

The first umbrella ever seen in
the streets of London was carried by
the philanthropist James Hanway,
who died in 1856. For many years
after the introduction of umbrellas
q man could not be seen carrying
one without being hooted for his eff
feminacy, particularly when passing
hackney coach stand. The drivers
of these vehicles regarded the UNI
brella in tho light of rival. For a
long time coffee houses and inns
were accustomed to keep single
umbrella of great magnitude for the
purpose of shielding customers from
the rain as they passed from the
door to their carriages. This mon
strous structure was carried by a
waiter. 1t was not until about the
year 1900 that the uso of the UNI
brella became so general throughout
Europe and America that man
could carry one without attracting
the attention of passersby to a dis
agreeable extent. In Spain and TIA
" the article was first domesticated.
Franco adopted it next and lastly

Colonel Ingersoll was to speak in
a western town. AS an an6dotc the

lowing night, Gan Answer to Inger-

about the hall the night before, and
one was handed to Ingersoll by mis-
take as he made his way toward the
platform, He was fairly into his
subject when a mule attached to one
of the vehicles about the entrance
opened up an opposition after the
manner OF mules. Ingersoll paused,
listened intcntly till the music
ceased for an instant; then, shaking
q menacing finger in the direction
whence the sound had come, he
cried:
"Hold on, therol You stopI Can't

STAR AND CRESCENT.
otIsin of the symbols Used on tHO
Turkish Flag. 3.

orlsln Of the symbols Used on tHV
Turkish Flag. 81
Very ancient are the star and
crescent of the Turkish flag. Their
origin is explained as follows: The
characters Of the language of Mes
opotamia, like the Egyptian, were
originally hieroglyphic. Ono. of the
early picture words was a crescent
and a star, and this picture, which
was pronounced "shiptu,p was en-
ployed to express an Incarnation or
exorcism or anything capable OF
driving the evil spirit from tho
body Of which it had taken posses
sion. Clay tablets recording the
ancient cxorcisms have been found
in the ruins of Mesopotamia, and at
the beginning of such tablets ap-
pears the sign which developed
from the crescent and star. The
symbol therefore may have been
not only the word for incarnation,
but q charm from which the evil
spirits were supposed to flee. In
every age in the orient the people
have possessed similar charms. The
Assyrian kings stationed winged
monsters with forms half human at
their gateways to keep all evil from
entering within the palace. The
poorer people suspended clay tab
lets above the entrances of their
houses. The modern oriental may
purchase in the bazaars blue glass
beads, verses from the Koran wrap
ped in leather cases and other de-
vices to serve similar purpose.
The crescent and star formed a
symbol which the Mesopotamian OF
5000 years ago employed as a
charm.
Among the carly peoples of Mes
| opotamia all Of the heavenly
bodies were regarded as deities, but
the moon, because of the variety
of tho shapes which it assumes.
was tho chief of them all. Special
reverence was therefore paid it and
some of the oldest and most i'm
portant of the Babylonian temples,
as at Ur and Haran, were devoted
to its worship. Thus the crescent,
the symbol by which tho moon god
was represented, was supposed to
have the power to avert evil, and
then together with the star it form
| ed tho word for incarnation.
When Babylonia passed into the
hands of the Persians the symbol
appeared upon tho coins. From the
| Persians 1t was transmitted to the
Parthians, the Byzantines, the Ro-
mans and the Greeks. Finally the
Turks, who succeeded in the pos
session of the greater part OF the
countries of the ancient world
adopted it as a device for their
flag Chicago News.

EiOATINe The SEA.
The Amphlbious Dutean,an and HolS
land's Baltic With Water.

The Amphlblous Dutehn,an and hols
land's Battle With Water.
Hollands existence is one long
fight against the inroads of the sea.
Much OF the country is below the
ocean level and has only been res
cued from the waves by the colossal
system of bikes. The Dutohman has
grown so used to the water that
oftentimes he is nearly an amphib-
ious animal. Fifty thousand Hol-
landers live in barges on the canals.
Even in winter, when the canals are
frozen, these people stick to their
boats, for they have no other home.
The canal houses used to be towed
by dogs, but now this work is done
by men and women, each family
towing its own boat.
Dutchmen are among the most
expert navigators in the world. In
utter Indifference to the natural an
tagonism between land and water
and in ability to make either con-
tribute to their necessities, they
have even excelled the English. AT
The relief of Leyden the prince of
Orange, by breaking down the dikes
and letting in the sea, made nayiga-
ton feasible on tract of ground
which had formerly been dry land,
and the strange spectacle was seen
of the Dutch warships floating
among the tops of orchards and past
the chinneys of submerged houses.
When Holland was invaded by
France another prince of Orange
formed the plan of>abandoning the
country entirely and conveying all
Its population to the East Indies.
Holland has always relied on the
ocean as security against hostile
powers. In our own time member
of the Dutch royal family attended
great review of Prussian troops.
Regiment after regiment of strap
ping fellows marched by, but all the
Dutchman would say was, "Not tall
enough" Finally a grenadier regi-
ment of unusually tall men came
into the field. "Eyery one of these
soldiers is over six feet high" re-
marked a Prussian officer to the
Hollander. "Surely you will admit
these arc tall enough" The Dutch
man shook his head. Owe can flood
my country with ten feet of water"
he observed. Doubtless the Prussian
took the hint.-Buffalo Timee.

spots and stripes.

The spots upon young lions are
significant as Indicating the close
relationship Of lions, tigers and
leopards. On lion cubs the pattern
of the markings is intermediate in
character between tho stripes of the
tiger and the rosettes of the Loop
ard, but inclines more toward the
former. East African lions retain
more or less distinct traces of these
early markings even when they
reach maturity. A distinct tiger-like
feature of the lion cub is white
patch over the eye, which disappears
In the adult. Puma cubs show a pat
tern quite unlike that Of tho lion,
tiger, leopard and jaguar.
