Robins Nest on Wheels.

A correspondent sends an account
of a robin building in a child's motor
car. The toy car stood in the porch
of a house at Purley, and while there
it was noticed that there was a collec-
ton of leaves in the hood, but it a.
not till the motor car was taken to
the other end of the garden and put
away in the summer house that the
robin completed its nest undisturbed,
for the car was not used, the children
being away from home. On their re-
turn the motor car was taken out and
the boys were racing around the lawn,
n pedalling the machine while the
other pushed behind, when to their
establishment a robin few out from
the hood.
On looking in a nest containing six
eggs was discovered, which in their
excitement the boys pulled out; but
happily the nest was replaced and the
a put back in the summer house
and although two eggs were taken
the robin did not forsake it but con-
tinued to sit on her eggs even though
the motor horn was sounded and

PECULIAR SWISS M
Life Of a Simple, Honest People
With Primitive Manners.

Farmers are usually considered a
very stationary class Of people not
given to frequent removes; but in a
little Swiss valley near the source
of the Rhone River are about two
thousand peasant farmers, who from
the nature of their conditions are
frequently on the move. There are
groups of habitations wherever there
is land to till or ~pasturage, and the
farmers live wherever there is work
to be done, leaving n house empty
to move into another, SO that some
families may own several houses.
At any season of the year entire
families may be seen either ascending
or descending the valley with their
herds or household goods as though
they were leaving the country. AT
the head of each procession is a mule
carrying the farmer; the mother and
children follow, and behind them
come the cattle, goats, sheep and pigs.
Throughout the valley, which is only
thirteen miles long, are large num-
bers of houses AMI barns seemingly
without a single tenant. In Deem
Der and January the peasant farmers
with their live stock are grouped in
the lower pastures; in February they
hre living in their villages where the
largest amount of hay is stored; they
move down the valley in March to
work in their vineyards near the
river, and in April they move back

Formaldehyde For Flies.

1t is not always possible to trace
the origin Of illness, but it is easy
enough to give valid reasons why the
fly can be the Introductory agent.
Purely medical aspects apart, the fly
is not particularly %scrupulous as to
it's environment-it alights at n
time on most offensive material and
at another it is on the food in the
kitchen and at the table. One Of the
earliest experiments we remember to
have seer showing the connection Of
flies and disease was that in which a
common bluebottle was allowed to
walk across a piece of freshly sliced
potato. The potato subsequently de-
veloped colonies of heterogeneous
all along the track taken by the fly,
while elsewhere nc development took
place.
The important. question remains
how best to get rid of the fly. Fly
papers and sticky strings aro insight
ly, and the struggle Of a fly to release
itself from a sticky substance is not
an entertaining spectacle. IN our
own experience the best exterminat-
ing agent is a weak solution of weak
formaldehyde in water (say two tea
spoonfuls to the pint, and this ex-
perience has been confirmed by 9TH
ers. It would appear that flies are
attracted by a weak solution of for
maldehyde, which they drink. Some
die in the water, others get as far
only as the immediate vicinity of the
plate of water, but all ultimately sue
cumb; and where they occur in large
numbers hundreds may be swept up
from the floor. 1t is 'consoling to
know that by this method the flies
have died under a dose Of a fluid
which is fatal to disease organisms, a
fluid also which is inoffensive and for
practical purposes non-poisonous.
The method at once provides a means
Of diminishing the scourge and of Sc
curing to some extent what is most
desirable, the disinfection Of the

to their villages to plant their fields
and gardens; in May and June they
owe again to the pasture regions.
IN summer part of them attend to the
live stock at the pastures; some work
in the vineyards and others attend to
their garden crops, etc. In the fall
all the farmers go down to the vine
yards by the river to harvest grapes
and make wine. They move from
place to place not only for convent
ence, but in order to take their live
stock with tn I'm for enriching the
soil. At each If the stations outside
of the villages each family has a
house and barn with a stable under
it, a granary end a cellar.
These peculiar people are farmers
Of the old-fsshioned type, raising
everything ne%rly that they need on
their OVID laEds. The soil supplies
them with bread, fruit and wine; they
build their own houses, make their
own furniture, spin yarn, weave cloth
and make their own shoes from the
hides of their cattle. The women
are hard workers, helping the men
in summer and weaving garments
and b~raiding straw hats in winter.
They are simple, honest people, with
primitive manners, and content with
a ration Of milk, cheese. coarse bread,
and in winter dried meat, which SIM
pie fare they will set before strangers,
never thinking Of asking payment.

The Waist Line.

The waist line of most new models
has crept down to its normal place
and a form of compromise much af-
fected in the new models includes a
lowered waist line, but keeps the
loose fitting straightness, the result
being a semi-ftting princess effect,
suggesting the natural curves of the
figure, but not defining them. Thus,
if the short waist should be out of
style, the model will pass muster,
and yet, if present lines retain their
prestige, the loose straightness will
affect the heightened waist.

X.Ray For Warts.

The very simplest way OF getting
rid of a wart is by a single applica-
ton Of the X-rays. The wart does
not fall off during the actual applica-
tion, but within a week or ten days
afterward it simply drops off, leaving
smooth and healthy skin behind it.
The time occupied by each sitting
Is something between fifteen and
hirty minutes, snd no dressings or
her applications are required. The
:ocedure gives a minimum amount
u troubls TO the patient, a maximum
Of certainty of Immediate cure, and
no soaring.
One kind of wart which is particu-
lar1y annoying to its possessor is that
which grows upon the scalp. These
warts may occur in people who are
quite grown up or even past middle
life. 1t is as easily cured by an ap-
plication of the X-rays rs are the

INDIANS A PROBLEM IN
PINE TREE STATE.
Maine Has to Provide For Sup.
port of Eight Hundred Members
of Her Three Tribes.

The remnants of the once great
tribes of Maine Indians are in a GER
tain sense proving a white elephant
on the hands of the Pine Tree State.
There are three tribes, the Aben-
axis, Passamaquoddy and Penobscot
indians, and under the terms Of an
agreement made at the time Maine
became a State the State is bound
TO look out for the material welfare
of the descendants of the red men,
for it is hard to characterize the
present generation as simon pure
Indians because through intermar-
rage with the whites there is not
now a full blooded Indian among all
the eight hundred who compose the
membership of the three tribes.
There was talk Of introducing at
tn, present session Of the Legislature
4 measure authorizing the sale OF the
land comprised in the Indian reser-
vations of the State and adding the
proceeds to the funds already held
in trust for the tribes with a view
to turning the Indians loose to look
out for themselves, but it was dis
covered that under existing agree
ments the State is bound to support
them, whether they work or play, so
it does not seem there will be any
legislative attempt at this session to
make them self-supporting.
The abodes of the tribe are in the
eastern section Of the State, where
comfortable dwellings, erected at the
expense of the State, shelter the fam
lilies and where subsistence is provid1
ed by the State. The lands are as
good as there are in Maine for agri-
cultural purposes, but the Indians
show no disposition to follow farm
ing or to perform any other produc-
tive labor.
Outside Of the allowance they re-
ceive from the State the chief source
of income, especially among the Pen
obscots, is derived from fishing and
trapping along the streams in unde-
veloped sections and the sale Of In
dian articles to summer visitors.
During the War of the Revolution
the Maine Indians remained friendly
to the colonists and aided materially
in the fight for independence. Their
support was assumed by the Common
wealth of Massachusetts, after the in
dependence of the colonies had be-
come a fact, and when Maine was
set apart from the mother State an
express agreement was made binding
the new State to assume this obliga-
ton in perpetuity.

growth of mold, which adds to the
aged appearance of the work. 1mi-
tated even are the modified lines
found in the masters works showing
where the artists changed their con-
tours. The forging of famed sigma
lures, old and new, is a speciality. A
neat trick is to place a signature IN
der a moldy spot and let the happy
customer discover it himself waen he
has taken the painting home and SUBJ
iected it to amateur cleaning.
Modern artists Of note are I'M
blushingly c~ounterfeited in their life
time. Sidney Cooper was so often
asked to decide whether a work was
from his brush that he charged a reg
ular fee to cover loss Of time. Diaz
vainly ~disavowed the paternity of a
picture whose purchaser insisted hat
the work was a genuine Diaz. The
Barbizon school has been especially
counterfeited. America is said to be
crowded with false Corots, Courbets,
Troyons and Rousseaus.
Celebrated Cases of Deception.
A thousand tricks are used in the
manufacture of old prints and draw
ings. The paper for antique engrav-
ings is stained in a coffee solution,
and if the connoisseur ticks an edge
of the paper a white spot will appear,
whereupon the dealer threatens to
sue for damages. A genuine antique
paper taken from the blank pages of
old account books and dairies makes
detection more difficult. Photography
is used both in committing and de-
tecting fraud. In the first case auto
graphs are initiated by the ~photogra-
vure process and, second, the camera
reveals parchment erasures that are
invisible to the naked eye. The Brit
ish Museum once came near paying
$1,000, 900 for manuscript variants
of the Old Testament produced by a
gifted swindler named Shapiro. The
same man swindIed the German En-
peror out of a huge sum by the sale
of a collection of Moabite pottery.
The difficulty of detecting forged doc
uments is shown by the fact that at
the world famous auction room in
Paris, the Hotel Drouot, a day is re-
quired for the v~erifcation of furni-
ture, but eight days to establish the
genuineness Of autographs. A cele-
brated case of deception was that Of
M. Michel Chasles, a geometer, who
bought a collection of $4,000 auto
graphs, including letters from Jesus
Christ, Lazarus, Mary Magdalene, Jul
das, Cleopatra, Alexander the Great,
Alcibiades, PLATE and others, for
which he paid a round sum. The
counterfeiter got two years in Jail
and the purchaser obtained more de-
rision than sympathy.
A photographic expert was glad
that he examined a rare old manu-
script page by page, for he discovered
one page not perforated, while all the
rest of the pages were bored through
by an assiduous bookworm. The for
ger had neglected to bore the false
page which he inserted. Earthen-
ware and p~orcelains are very much
initiated. Bastianini, an illiterate
but gifted Italian, made a fifteenth
century bust which was exhibited in
Paris in 1887 and sold to the Govern
ment for 1850 francs. 1t was placed
in the Louvre, and Bastianini claimed
the credit of the work, which was re-
luctantly conceded to him when he
proved that the bust was a portrait
of a live workman instead of a long
deceased poet.
