Honesty Extraordinary

A traveller writing in an italian
magazine says that the Swiss canton
Of Ticino is inhabited by the most hon
est folk it is possible TO imagine. In
most of the Ticinese villages. the
writer says, the oldest inhabitants do
not remember any case of thieving,
however petty, within a lifetime Lost
objects when found must never be
taken away; they must be left where
they were dropped or placed in con-
spicuous position so that the rightful
owner can find his property more east
ly. The case is cited of an American
woman tourist who lost her purse on
an excursion in the Val Capriasca.
The purse contained gold coin and a
jeweled watch. Upon returning from
her trip she found the purse with its
contents intact on little heap Of
leaves. so placed that It could not fail
TO attract her attention. York

The Parsses of India.

1t was at a point near the ancient
city of Surat that the Parsees first
landed in India when driven out of
Persia by their Mohammedan conquer
ors eleven centuries ago. Few things
are more remarkable than the manner
in which this small community has re,
tanned its religion and racial charac-
teristics unchanged during that long
period. The peculiar style Of head
dress worn by the Parsees is said to
have been made compulsory by the
Hindu king OF India when the Parsees
first obtained refuge in that country.
and they have used It ever since. To-
day the ParseeS are the leading com
mercial nation of India.

Homes of the African Grosbeaks as

The biggest birds nest in the world,
not excepting the stork's, is built by
the African grosbeak Ii Is really 100
nests or more bound together with
closely interviewer sticks. vines and
strands Of coarse grass and is not
built by single pair of birds. but by
a colony of them, II is Of such enor-
nous size that at n little distance 1t is
often mistaken for one of the native
huts built in the trees so frequently
found in wild tropical countries where
man eating animals abound. and the
only way to sleep in safety is to "roost
high"
The birds usually select a thorn tree.
probably because Of the protection ar
forded By the sharp. long thorns
against marauders. All around the
nest the roof of sticks. matched with
dry grass. projects to let the rain run
off. A deep fringe of grass hangs from
this cornice like curtain to keep out
any stray drops. These great nests
are added to from year to year. each
pair of mated birds building on the
main nest. Sometimes the nest be-
comes too heavy. and the branch
breaks or the great mass of sticks falls
to the ground destroyed by its own
weight. The grosbeak is no larger
than an English sparrow and just as
gregarious.--NewY York Press.

Rock ammonia and boiling water will
remove grease spots from clothes.
Alcohol pure will remove any kind
of spots from any material in silk or
wool without leaving circles, as do most
all other cleaning fluids.

A cotton flannel bag made with a
shirr-string at the top, and large enough
to cover the lower end of the broom,
is excellent for sweeping hardwood or
painted floors. This saves scratching
the floor. Moisten the bag before sweep
ing, says st. John Telegraph.
For cleaning jewelry, there is moth
ing better than ammonia and water. If
very dull or dirty, rub little soap on
a soft brush and brush them in this
wash, rinse in cold water, dry first in
an old handkerchief and then rub with
buck or ehamios skin. Tried by many
and considered excellent.
If cotton rug is to be washed, it
is generally Of such proportions and

it on a smooth, inclined floor or table

says the Commoner. This win force
