BIRDS AS THEY SLEEP.
Quail Form q Dense Circle With All
Heads Facing Out.

The nightcap preparations OF the
chubby little quail are very interesting.
Each evening the covey forms in new
place, and this selection OF the spot
entails serious efforts. BobWhlte
never quite loses remembrance of the
many dangers which make his life in a
wild state one great fear. A white
throated male with soft clucks calls
together a dozen of his comrades, and
for few minutes they all huddle to-
gether, but soon from the farther end
OF the aviary a clear "Whew-bob
white !" rings out, and of scurry the
whole band, this time perhaps to set
tie for the night in the new place
dense circle of little forms, heads all
facing out, just as in their native stub
BILE they rest facing in every direction,

any point of the compass the covey
may explode and go booming OH In
safety. Poor little fellows, their wild
life is strenuous indeed Well for
their race that every nest holds from
ten to eighteen eggs instead of three
or four
The woodpeckers sleep resting upon
their tails, even the flickers invariably

ing the day the f1ickers spend much of
their time perching in passerine man
ner, crosswise upon a twig. Small
birds, such as thrushes and warblers,
sleep usually upon some small twig
with heads tucked behind wings in
orthodox bird fashion, but they occa-
sionally vary this in a remarkable way
by clinging all night to the vertical
wires of their cages, sleeping apparent
ly as soundly in this as in the usual
position of rest. A bluebird in small
cage slept thus about one or two nights
out of each week. Any explanation OF
this voluntary and widespread habit
among perching birds would be diff
cult to suggest.
The little hanging parrakeets derive
their name from their custom of sleep
ing always in reversed position, and
when disturbed over their roosting
tree they resemble some strange, pend
ant, green fruit rather than sleeping
birds.-Outing Magazine.

When the meal was zone sam Ter,
the room, and Ben followed him out
to the yard to stammer an apology
Then he sat on the horse block While
ne smoked cigar, and Sans words
came back to him.
His brother-in-law was right. He
had cursed and domineered his wife
There had been lots Of mornings when
he had acted worse than this and with
far less cause.
When the nervous breakdown had
come he had cursed 1t because it had
fnterfered with his vacation plans, and
not until he had left home did he
realize how much Fannie's quiet min
istrations had meant.
Once or twice he half rose to go into
the house and ask Elias pardon, but
he thought Of something else at home
and sank back into his seat again. He
did not even realize that the horse
block was an uncomfortable seat, and
Sam came In from the fields at noon to
find him still sitting there with a
half smoked cigar, making an odorous
0ffense to heaven.
Thought worth pennyr' he asked
pleasantly as he made pretense Of feel
ing in his pocket for the coin.
''You can buy my whole miserable
carcass for penny" retorted Ben
dolefully. give been sitting here

81 didn't mean to get 80 hopping
mad" said Sam shamefacedly.
SIT was right" went ON Harrington
81 have rowed Fannie into her bed,
just as you said. She made things so
comfortable that when anything did
go wrong scolded her about that in
stead of giving her credit for all that
she had DONE"
eff you know it, that helps some,"
reminded Sam. II tell you what the
trouble is, Ben. just because you earn
the money that pays the bills you don't
realize that your wife is working too.
You wouldn't dare talk to a servant
the way you talk to her. You know
your wife won't get mad and quit"
81 never should have come away
and left her." lamented Harrington.
"They sent you on vacation to give
Fannie a rest,'' explained Sam, "but if
you really mean to be a good boy it
would be a good idea to send for her.
The trouble with her has been that she
cared SO much for you that she wor-
ried when you were not pleased, and
you never were pleased, so she wor-
ried oil the time It will do her good
to come up here and have you wait on
her"
'I'll go after her." offered Ben hasti-
ly. He was thinking of the cool Of the
morning on the boat when they two
should have the deck alone. 1t was
there that he wanted to tell her how
sorry he was. He could not know that
Sam had wired. 1t was well that he
could not read the message, for it ran:
Better come up. Ben's found out VIVA,
the matter was, and I'll see that he re-
members. SAM.
But Sans share Of the task was
light, for, Harrington remembered Of
his own accord az he coaxed the roses
back to where the lilies had been in
his wffe's pale cheeks. When his irri-
tation rose there rose before him a
vision Of cold bacon ana threatening
face. It was not romantic, but It was
effective.

a Story Which Did Not Fit This Par
tieular Minister'S Case.
North Carolina probably never pro-
duced an ADLER preacher than DR..
Francis L. Hawkes.. who once was
pastor Of Grace Episcopal church. New
York. Short, thick set. sw' rthy. black
eyed and black haired. he was a strik-
ing parsonage. He was not only q
great pulpit orator, but considered the
best reader in the New York episco-
pacy. His rather luxurious family de-
tered him from accepting a bishopric,
which would have otherwise been
rendered. One day delegation from a
Buffalo church waited upon him and
invited him to accept a pastorate In
that city.

The spokesman looked rather sheep
ish, but made another essay.
'If we had known that, sir, we
would undoubtedly have looked else
where, but you should remember that
the work of the Lord must be done,
and, as for providing for your family,
you know the story Of Elijah and the
ravens"
"Now. my friends" responded the
clergyman quizzically, Il have made
the Bible my study ever since I was
twenty-eight 1 have read it through
carefully and prayerfully over 100
times. 1 remember the raven Incl
dent perfectly. but nowhere can find
any reference to the Lords providing

THE CHARTER OAK.
Bells ToIled and Funeral Dirges Played
When 1t Fell.

Wnen u fejt.
The charter oak of Hartford was a
white oak. The story goes that when
James, duke Of York, assembled the
throne Of England and sent Andres to
necticut alone refused to surrender
hers. Andres was furious over this
defiance, and Oct. 81, 1857, he returned
to the assembly hall Of Hartford with
a body Of soldiers and demanded in
slant surrender of the charter, which
cussion followed. Finally Andres
stretched out his hand to seize the
disputed paper. Then the candles
were suddenly extinguished, and the
people who had gathered on the street
outside rushed in a disorderly crowd
wild confusion in the dark, and when
the candles were finally relighted no
charter was to be found. 1t had been
removed by Captain Wadsworth and
concealed in the oak, which ever after
ward bore it's name
the first settlers were clearing their
land the Indians begged that it might
be spared. 1t has been the guide Of
our ancestors for centuries they said.

When the leaves are the size Of a
mouse's ears, then Is the time to put
seed into the ground The Indians re-
quest was granted, and the tree, after
ward becoming the custodian of the
lost charter, became famous for all
time. 1t fell in a windstorm Aug. p.
1856, and so deeply was it venerated
that at sunset on the day Of its fall
the bells of the city were tolled and a
band Of music played funeral dirges
over its ruins.
At the time Of its fall its circumfer-
ence one foot from the ground was
twenty five feet, and it was estimated
to be over 600 years old.-Kansas City

1t was shaped like COW horn, which
