A Curious Nest.
From st. Nicholas.


Last year, early in June, a beautiful
pair of wood thrushes. or wood robins as
we often call them, began to build their
nest in pear tree within q few feet Of
the house and twelve feet from the
ground. 1t was one of the most public
places they could have selected-cloee to
the door which people were constantly
using and within ten feet OF the street
with its hustle and noise.
The nest progressed rapidly to compile
ton through rain and shine. The bulk of
1t was made OF coarse leaf stems. Grass
and strips Of bark. All were solidly fas-
tened together vita mud gathered from
the street. But they departed from their
usual method OF nest bul.utng by weaving

Finally the inner lining Of rootiets was

Reverting to the beginning Of the rural
free delivery service, Mr.. De Graw said ::

them by carriers at their residences

made by Postmaster General Wanamakcr

1890, authorizing the Postmaster Genera
to test at small towns and villages the
practicability and expense of extendinr
the free delivery system to Offices of the
third and fourth class and other officers

experiment was put on trial and con
