NESTING PLACES.
Strange Preference Shown by Birds in

Strange Preference Shown by Birds in
Home Making Arrangements.
The sparrow which was discovered a
few days ago on a nest among the
coal of a Great Eastern company's
engine running between st. Margaret'5
and Buntingford has had several
predecessors in her preference for
locomotive nesting place
A year or two ago a thrushs nest
containing two eggs was found snug
ly ensconced on the Westinghouse
brake pipe of carriage on an ex-
press train which had just returned
to York from a trip to Newcastle.
The nest, we ar etold, was quite
YARN and comfortable"
About the sametime a couple of rob
ms built their nest on the axle of n
colliery wagon which was standing
idle for a few days at Seghill, North
cumberland. Six eggs we're laid, and
then the wagon was started on it's
journeys again. The parent birds fol
lowed it all the way to the Tyne, and
it was their excited lowering over the
wagon which led to an investigation
and to the discovery Of their strange
nesting place.

bank president said. 1--WE got into
an argument in the bank here the
other day as to how much a dollar
bin weighed A $40 gold piece weighs
$40 grains We found that twenty
seven crisp, new one dollar bills
weigh the same as a twenty dollar
gold piece We tested some bills that
had been in use and found that it took
but twenty six of them to balance the
gold piece. / suppose that twenty
six used bills gather an accumulation
of dirt in passing from hand to hand

First Number Pleases

An suspicious opening was given
to the Peoples Lecture Course last
Friday evening when Ebert Poland,
the humorist, and the Italian Boys
opened the seasons entertainment
at the Methodist church. The au-
ditorium was packed TO the doors
and the great interest shown gives
hope of the most successful season
the Peoples Course has yet seen.
Friday evenings program was
one of special merit and rare treat
TO the music lovers of River Falls.
The orchestra consisted of a violin,
cello, clarinet and harp, and the
players each handled his instrument
with a skill and feeling for which
the music loving Italian race is
noted. Encore after encore received
ready response and the solo num-
bers were particularly we'll received
by the audience.
Mr.. Ebert Poland made his first
appearance in our city, but it is the
unanimous hope that it will not be
his last. He came as a humorist.
He is that and more. He has more
than the mere ability to arouse
mirth. He is an artist in facial eX-
preston, a master of dialect, and
prince of entertainers. His select
ions were we'll chosen and the ease
and finish with which they were
presented won his audience from
the start. In closing Mr.. Poland,
assisted by the boys, presented a
charming little musical sketch en-
titled "A Night in Venice, in which
the entire gamut of the emotions
was played upon. In this sketch,
Mr.. Francis Walsh, a young sopran-
ist of unusual ability, was at his
best in his rendition of Santa
Lucia" He has a beautifully clear
and resonant voice of marvellous
range and his songs were one of the
best features of the evening.

Wedding Rings as Curtain Hangers.
A handsome tabernacle of silver gilt
has been erected in the chapel OF the
Blessed Sacrament in the new Roman
Catholic cathedral at Westminster.
For years past, in anticipation OF
this event, a lady who has done much
for the cathedral has been collecting
gold rings on which the inner cur
tains might hang. She has succeeded
in persuading many of her friends and
relatives to leave at death their we'd
ding rings for this service.
AT the present moment the curtains
of silk inside the tabernacle are sup
ported by about fourteen golden rings
which she has obtained, and on each
of them the name of it sdonor is in
scribed.

Here is the way the papers will
write up weddings ten years hence:
1.-The bride looked very we'll in a
travelling dress, but all eyes were
centered upon the groom. He wore
a dark suit that fitted his form per-
fectly and in his dainty gloved
hands he carried a small rose. His
curly hair was beautifully done, and
a delicate odor of hair oil Of the
best quality foated down the aisle
as he passed. The young people
will miss him now that he is mar
ried. He is loved by all for his
many accomplishments, his tender
grace and his winning ways. The
bride commands a good salary as
bookkeeper and the groom will miss
none of the luxuries to which he has
been accustomed. A crowd of pref
ty men saw him off at the depot. :"

To prevent this threatened spolia-
ton a bill was introduced in the last
session of our state legislature au.
thorizing the forest. fish and game
commissioner to purchase 100 acres
Immediately surrounding the Grant
cottage for the forest reserve. This
bill was passed, but failed to meet the
approval of Gov. Hughes. Its purpose
as will readily be seen, was to pre-
vent the destruction of the scenic
beauty of the surroundings Of the
Grant cottage.
More recently this impending spolia-
ton of the forest surrounding the
Grant cottage was brought to the at
tention of the American Scenic and
Historic Preservation society, and a
movement was set on foot for the pur-
pose of raising, by voluntary subscrip-
tons, sum sufficient to meet the pur-
poses for which the aforementioned
bill was introduced. Henry Clay
Weeks, member of this society, was
appointed chairman of a committee
to take this matter in hand, and he Ia
now engaged in bringing 1t before the
public. The scope of his activities,
however, has been somewhat enlarged.
and 1t is now his intention. II possible.
to raise sufficient funds to purchase
Mr.. Johnsons entire holdings ON the
mountain. The sum needed to do this
is 100000. Should he succeed in max
ing this purchase 1t will be complete
and ample protection against any flu
ture destruction of the forest on
Mount McGregor.
The lawn surrounding the Grant
cottage is now covered with beauti-
full growth of pine and oak. The 100
acres of land which it. was proposed
to take into the forest reserve are
thickly covered with oak, chestnut
and hemlock. intermingled with scat
tering trees of other varieties, and
make very beautiful spot. The view
from the summit of the mountain is
grand in the extreme. To the east
when the day Is clear. one may see
the peaks of the Green mountains Of
! Vermont, and to the south a long
stretch of the valley of the Hudson
spreads out in panoramic view as far
as the eye can reach.
To purchase the 100 acres will re
quire the sum of but $4.750. About
four acres of land adjoining the GRAM
cottage property on the north side and
for little distance on the west, Oh
which stands cottage and barn
can be purchased for $1.700 more
making the sum necessary to acquire

ings of the cottage only $6,450.

shown in the preservation of its scent,
