MATERIALS or STORK'S HOME.
Immense Nest Broken Up In AIsatian
Town Found to Contain All
Sorts Of Plumber.

The following details concerning the
structure and contents of a storks
nest investigated on the summit of
the Cathedral of Colmar in Upper AL
SAGE may be of interest:
The city architect has just delivered
a public lecture there on 'Storks and
Their Ways" He described a stork's
nest which was about thirty years old;
IT measured six feet across and was
i've feet in height; it. weighed six
teen hundredweight, or over three
quarters of ton, and it was such a
solid mass that it had to be broken up
by using a piekax. The nest was
made of twigs of wood and clay and
the materials filled "a sacks.
The walls of the nest were found to
contain II ladies' black stockings. five
fur caps. the sleeve of a white silk
blouse, three old shoes, large piece
of leather and four buttons that had
belonged to a railway porter's uni
form.

ARE ILL-MATED COMPANIONS
Remarkable Fact That Humor and
Melancholy Seem Fond of Each
Others Company.

Too often humor and melancholy go
together. They keep company like
girl who likes to dance, and a fellow
who writes nice. gloomy poetry. They
get tied together, but they don't hitch.
They sympathize like oil and water
not. They tell us that some of the
newspaper humorists, who actually
make people laugh, are sometimes
very glum and melancholy at home.
and can't see joke any quicker than
anybody else. when it's on themselves.
It's too bad that a humorist should
thus belle his profession, but he's NOR
tai anyway-and who doesn't? 1t was
said that Lincoln had to make jokes
to relieve care. He said: Were II not
for this occasional vent, should die"
The vent of the humorist is melan-
choIy. Let him kick the cat, let him
complain Of the oatmeal let him look
glum as an owl-he. too, is entitled
to little variety. Let him read Bur
toms Anatomy of Melancholy" or
MRS. Caudle's Lectures" for that mat
ter-he's entitled to something pen
sive. BY the way Burton aforesaid
has given in his Anatomy" a pictur-
esque description of mirth: ut is" he
says. "a principal engine to batter the
walls of melancholy" He must have
had horse-play in mind. Our idea is
that humor is little eddy in the rush
ing millstream of life-where fellow
can rest awhile and fish.

Remarkable BAT Cave.

In a mountain near Montalban, Lu-
zon, there is a large cavern, with
many branching chambers, and a CEN
trail dome 200 feet in height, perfor-
ating the mountaintop, from which,
in December, 1907, Mr.. Hugh Fl. Smith
saw issue a solid column OF bats,
which flew rapidly in a straight line,
for Is minutes. disappearing over
mountain range in the direction OF
Manila. without a single bat having
left the column. American engineers
stationed there told Mr.. Smith that
the flight of bats had occurred, at
practically the same time each day,
during two years. From other sources
It was learned that the phenomenon
had been observed for at least 80
years.-Youth's Companion.

TWO IDEALS OF THE FAMILY
For Comparison, One May Be Called
Despotic and the other Dem
ocratie. !

To-day two ideals of the family are
struggling for mastery-the old des-
potic family, OF Roman origin and ecs
clesiastical sanction, based on the au-
thority of the husband and the merg-
ing OF the wife's legal personality I'm
his, and the democratic family. OF Ger
manic origin. based on the consentina
and harmonious wills OF two equals.
The one goes naturally with pioneer
ing, agriculture and warfare, .which
put men TO the fore; the other goes
with industry. peace and city life,
which add to the consequence of wonn-
en-. In proportion as women escape
from abject mental dependence on
men and find a point OF view of their
own, they spurD patriarchal claims
and expect marriage to be the union.
of equal wills. What with more girls
than boys In the high schools. ana
half as many women as men in COLI
lege, 1t is not surprising that women
more and more enter marriage with a
connubial ideal of their own. Never
theless, the men they wed-many on
them-cherish the conviction that thef
husband Ia the rightful head" OF the!
family. The resulting clash of ideals4
is none the less disastrous because led
is only an incident of a transitioufl
process in social evolution.-CsntnrY

WHATS THE USE OF KIcNNe7I
Writer In Eastern journal Condemns
the Practice, and Asks Above
Question.

If kicking would help some IL would
be worth while. but II does not. On
the contrary. II hinders.
Then why do rational, sensible men
and women indulge in IL?
There is question that is worthy
of more than passing thought, for
1t relates to human comfort, prosper
ity, and success:
Why do you kick when things do
not go to please you?
Is 1t not because you we're taught
to do sog Didn't your parents, your
big brothers and sisters. and maybe
the men and women you admired
grumbie and complain, or kick. when
things did not go TO suit them, even
when its fault was their own?
And are not your children learning
in the same way from you?
Maybe you;had no thought OF this
before? Now that your attention has
been called to,it and you have thought
about it, IL you do not act accordingly
you will notabe doing right, and to
fail to do that which you know to be
right is to sin.
Kicking is, therefore. a sign of ILL
breeding, and one that young folks
should take into account when choos-
ing life partners, for a kicker in matri-
monial harness loses the race, besides
creating much confusion. - Newark

Score to in Favor of Norwich in

Another defeat was chalked up
against Manag ger Dunn's Colts Satur-
day on Windham field by Hayes Nor
wich Rosebuds, to 4. 1t was a repe-
tition of the usual games played here
this season between Norwich and Will
limantic teams the Colts going wrong
in the field together with bum UNI
piring at times, put things on the
fritz in general
Saturday both teams went bad in
the field, nearly all the runs coming
in this manner. The visitors carried
the most luck, getting runs a basis
of two to one this way.
Norwich took the lead in the first
inning and was never headed in the
game. Willimantic rallied in the sixth
and batted in three runs, aided by the
Norwich batterys dippy stunts. In
the next inning Norwich COPIED two
more runs through Sullivan's failure
to hang to FriePs long fly close to
the left field fence. Six of the visitors
runs came with two men out Both
teams worked fast double play each.
Incidents worthy of note were running
catches by Patrick Sullivan, Dan
drea and j. Noonan and Sullivan's hit
ting The local fans can't see where
the Norwich team really has a look in
with Dunns Colts, but it's fact they
get away with the big end of scores.

How He Kept His Clothes Dry.

Among a large shooting party on a
Scottish grouse moor was a certain
elderly professor whose skill with his
gun was hardly equal to the profundi-
ty of his intellect. Suddenly a heavy
storm of rain came on, and as there
was no shelter on the moor the shoot
ers got thoroughly drenched through.
At least, all but one suffered-the pro-
fessor. He had mysteriously disap-
peared when the rain came on, and he
did not rejoin the party until the sun
was shining once more. To the
amazement of the others the erudite
one was as dry as a bone. The others,
drenched and Disguised, inquired Of
him how 1t was he had escaped a
wetting. Directly the rain came on"
replied the professor, Il went off by
myself. stripped of my clothes, and
sat on them until the storm was over"
