The buzzard usually chooses a
ledge on a cliff for an eyrie. but in
certain parts Of Wales there are a few
well used nests in trees, and as
these are generally used by some
bird of prey each season, they grow to
an enormous size. The buzzard does
not as a rule, use the same nest two
consecutive seasons, but returns to
1t the third, and after that allows an
other season TO elapse before occupy

Two nests are often constructed in

FELT GRIEF HE EXPRESSED
Circumstances Under Which Verdi
Produced the Sublime "Miserere"
in ~ Trovatore."

Men OF genius are confessedly crea
lures of mood. Grief and adversely
have often been a real help to them
rather than a hinGrance. Poe. it is
said produced The Raven" while sit
ting at the bedside of his sleeping but
dying wife Many similar instances
might be cited, but an anecdote of
Verdi. told by Carlo Ceccareni. will
suffice.
On one occasion, when Verdi was
engaged on his well-known opera. III
Irovatore,' he stopped short at the
passage of the "Miserere," being at
loss to combine notes of sufficient
sadness and pathos to express the
grief of the prisoner, Manrico.
Sitting at his piano in the deep
stiffness of the winter night, his i'm
agination wandered back to the stormy
days of his youth, endeavoring to ex-
tract from the past a plant. a groan.
like those which escaped from his
breast when he saw himself forsaken
by the world All in vaini
One day, at Milan, he was unex-
pectedly called to the bedside of
dying friend, one of the few who had
remained faithful to him in adversely
and prosperity. Verdi, at the sight of
his dying friend, felt a lump rise in
his throat; he wanted to weep. but so
intense was his grief that not tear
flowed to the relief of his anguish.
In an adjoining room stood a piano.
Verdi. under one of those sudden i'm.
pulses to which men of genius are
subject, sat down at the
instrument, and there and then i'm
'rovised the sublime "Misererev of
he "Trovatore." The musician had
given utterance to his grief.

1.-THE ruby-crowned kinglet is one of
our most wonderful songsters. During
April and early May, the attentive lis

The notes are clear, very loud and pro-

exquisite vocalization defies description;
we can speak only in general terms Of the
power, purity and volume OF the notes,
their faultless meditation and long con-
tinuance."
Audubon says OF it: "When tell you
that its song is fully as sonorous as that
Of the canary bird, and much richer, do
not come up to truth, for it is not only as
powerful and clear, but much more varied

Health Is Worth Saving, and
Some Ellsworth People Know
How to Save 1t.

Many Ellsworth people take their lives
in their hands by neglecting the kidneys
when they know these organs need help.
Sick kidneys are responsible for vast
amount o. suffering and i'll health, but
there is no need to suffer nor to remain in
danger when all diseases and aches and
pains due to weak kidneys can be quickly
and permanently cured by the use OF
Doan's Kidney Pills. Here is an Els

go severe that was laid up for several
days almost helpless. There was con-

TO MUCH HAND SHAKING.
Other Ways Of Greeting Friends
That Are Much Preferable.


Although few have suffered the un-
pleasan, experience Of the man in the case
recently reported, the bones Of whose
hands were forced out Of place by the
vise-like grasp OF too vigorous and
unduly denonstrativc friend, most poo
pie win be inspired BY their personal rec
elections to sympathixe with this victim
Of q misdirected ardor. Every one knows
people who seek to express the sincerity
and earnestncss OF their good will by
squeezing the hand they take ~ though
they were trying to break every one OF the
hand contains. and every one on such
occasions must have wished that some
other form OF salutation than the one most
In vogue had been devised and was

anyhow. 1t became the custom In the
days when every ono carried = dagger in
his belt, aud when one friend meeting
another thought 1t necessary to attest the
pescefulness of his intentions by extend
ing an open palm. Then the other man
could do no less than make similarly re-
assuring demonstration, and the grasp Of
these two extended hands naturally fol-
lowed. Subsequently, by q logical process
ofeyolution. the hAndshake grew to be the
conventional form OF greeting, and the re-
iusal OF prof'ered hand was regarded as
one OF those insults whose dishonor can
only be wiped out with blood. Now the
