Of Blackmore, the novelist, an old
friend said that his kindness to am
mails and birds was nearly divine.
dogs loved him; pigeons followed
him about. A blackbird built in a
hole in his garden we'll one year, and
he planked the well over lest the
young ones, when they became VEN
turesome, should be drowned. From
the planks over the water he had a
sort of ladder constructed for them
to escape, which they all did and
repaid him by beautifully devouring
his strawberries. There is a picture
Of himself as a vine dresser in one
of his Deronshire tales, Christie

especially girls, was as great as Mr.

evident in his books. There is al

QUEER Met eulLT eY BIRDS.
OrioIe and His Mate Had Made Use Of
Post-OH.ce Irvine.

"One Of the oldest birds nests
have seen in long time was that OF
a Baltimore oriole and its male near
a busy railroad station" said an en-
thusiastic amateur ornithologist The
nest, which was constructed almost
entirely of cotton twine, hung from a
lower branch of a little maple tree
over the steps leading to the station
platform and within 20 feet of the rail-
road tracks. where about 60 trains
pass day. The hustle and roar didn't
seem to bother the birds bit.
AT this station the mail trains take
the mail bags on the fly and on ac-
count of the suction they have to be
tied to the iron arms OF the mail
cranes with light Irvine to prevent
them from being blown off. When the
bag is jerked from the post or crane
to the car, the Irvine breaks and falls
to the ground, and it was these
strands that the birds had gathered
nest. The station agent, who took
great interest in the orioles, told me
they had been coming to that particu-
lar spot for three or four years. but
that they did not build new nest
every season. He said when they did
build new nest it took the birds
about week to construct it, the male
collecting the material and the female
doing most of the weaving"

FED AND FATTENED FOR TABLE
Chinese Diplomat Talks About Edible
Dogs and Rats.

The Chinese diplomat regarded his
grilled frogs legs with faint disgust.
Il suppose they are good" he fall
tered. 1T is hard, though, to conquer
my repulsion. Yet they are clean
clean feeders, eh?"
The American laughed long and
loud.
YOU" he cried ARE repealed by
frogs legs, you who eat dogs and
rats!"
Yes, but" said the Chinaman, our
edible dogs and rats are the cleanest
feeders imaginable. They are equal
to celery.fed duck or California peach
fed hog. They are confined in runs,
you know. and, to make their flesh
white and delicate, they are fed on
mushes Of bread and milk and vege-
tables. No meat whatever.
you Americans think it disgusting
to eat rats and dogs because you i'm
agine them fattening on carrion and
offal. But these frogs here-No, I'm
afraid can't-They may have fed on
some tramp suicide for all | know"
He pushed back his plate and waited
for the next course.

Collecting Good Art.

Genuine works of art are daily
growing scarcer. and I am pleased to
note that Americans no longer acquire
the trash of Europe" remarked Henry
J. Duveen of London and New York
to Q New York Telegram reporter
The people Of this country are just
as particular now In collecting exam
pies of art as are Europeans. In pur-
chasing valuable art objects they show
remarkable experience and wisdom.
The collections in this country now
include some of the rarest and richest
examples of art in existence, and Eu-

lions of Mr.. Morgan, Mr.. Widensr,
Mrs. Gardner, Mr.. Walters and 9th.

The museums here own some Of the
most magnificent specimens of art in
the world, and their collections will
soon rival those in London, Paris and
elsewhere"
