BOLDNESS OF SWALLOWS
One Nest Built in House-Another
 on an Electric Lamp

From Baileys Magazine.
 A very curious instance of boldness in swallows was recorded in 1886 from Cey- lon In this case the birds built over a lamp in the dining room; what made their choice of site more remarkable was the fact that the lamp could be raised or lowered by counter weights and the connecting chains actually passed through the mud walls of the nest.
 Occasionally the bird selects a nesting site which invites comparison with the boldness of the robin. In July last pair of swallows took advantage of the open window of an unoccupied bedroom in house at Hehmersham in Bedfordshire to begin building their nest on the curtain rod of the bed.
 The return of the owner of the house and his occupation of the bed did not in the least disturb or alarm the birds, which completed the nest and brought off three nestlings within seven weeks of the house owners return. They took no notice of the occupant of the bed when flying in and out of the window feeding their young. but the hen would fly off the nest if any one entered the room during the daytime.
 Three years ago a pair of swallows built their nest on top of the shade of an electric lamp which hangs outside the asylum at Narborous, near Leicester.

More Cranberry Bogs
From the Connecticut Farmer.

From the Connecticut Farmer.
 Half century ago the "cranberry in- dustry' of Cape Cod consisted of the casual harvesting of an unimportant, un- improved native berry of very little im- portance either to the food supply or as an industry. Today the annual valuation OF this crop, now consisting of over s0o,- 0O0 barrels of superb improved berries, is estimated at more than $2,0O0,O00.
 Massachusetts lays claim to some 5000 acres of cranberry bog. New Jersey has 5000 and Wisconsin 6000. In point of area these states are followed in turn by Rhode Island, Connecticut and New York.

Elephants Asleep
From Country Lif

From Country Life.
 A question often raised in regard to the African elephant is whether these animals ever rest or not. At first blush 1t would appear that there could only be one answer to the question. So huge an animal must expend a terrific amount of energy and therefore as one might reasonably infer must need more time than smaller animals for rest and reinvigoration.
 Nevertheless many travellers and some naturalists have asserted that the Afri- can elephant in its native state never sleeps or at least never lies down. A

correspondent who has sent photo- praphs direct from Malek on the White Nile says in the communication that accompanies them that the pictures represent " a herd of female elephants photographed in the bush near Malek, in the Mogalla province of the Anglo Egyptian Sudan. It has been main- tained that the African elephant never lies down forrest. Several may be seen thus sleeping"

ABOUT PARCELS POST.

1t IS currently reported in the
daily press that at the opening of
the regular session of congress
President Taft will recommend bv
message the enactment of parcels
post law. The writer, after study
ing the proposition tor some time,
has arrived at the conclusion that
such law would be exceedingly
detrimental to the country outside
OF the commercial centers. Such a
law would drive out of business
thousands of merchants in the vii
lagos and small cities, depreciate
the value OF property and make
thousands Of the store BUILDINGS
now occupied, dwelling places for
bats and owls, and our small cities
become depopulated, for the local
trade would be driven to the bic
trade centers by the mail order
houses. 1t would also effect to
some extent the value of agricul-
tural lands by destroying local
markets. The trouble might be
obvlated to some extent, compell-
ing the express companies to low
er their rates to a reasonable
schedule, sufficiently low, so that
they would not be robbing the peo-
pie SO as to pay 800 per cent
dividends.

THOUGHTS BY THE WAY.

Anybody reading the evidence
adduced in the Lorimer investiga-
ton must have arrived at the con-
clusion that there has been much
downright lying pro and con, and
it is difficult to determine which
side is doing the most lying, those
trying to convict Lorimer of brib-
ing members of the Illinois legis-
lature or those who are defending
him. 1t begins to look as if GER
tain interests in Illinois were lust
as bad as Lorimer in the means
employed to drive him out of the
senate. Taking all things into ac-
count, his enemies are no better
than Lorimer, only trying to cover
up their own rascality by crying
unclean. - A few of the wines
ses for and against the Illinois
statesman should be indicted
and convicted for perjury and
should there be any honor in the
senate, the quicker done the better,
to save that honorable body from
the suspicion that there are none

TIMES HAVE CHANGED.

George Washington. our first
president and The Father of his
Country" could not have had a
prophetic vision of the future of
his country when he penned the
following patriotic guidance for
those who were to live in this free
country which he had helped to es-
tablish.
There is no truth more thor
oughly established than that there
exists in the economy of nature an
indissoluble union between virtue
and happiness, between duty and
advantage, between the genuine
maxims Of an honest and magnani-
nous policy and the solid rewards
of public prosperity and felicity;
The preservation of the sa-
cred fire of liberty, and the destiny
of the republican model of govern
ment, and Justly considered as
deeply perhaps as finally staked on
the experiment entrusted to the
hands of the American people.
At the present time, most of our
public men are after the almighty
dollar or seeking to satisfy per-
sonal ambition by means which dc
not commend such action to men OF
high ideals. Honest politicians
last quick today in public life
the demagogues and grafters ap-
pear to be in the saddle and those
are the kind of men the people
want or they would not elect them
to positions Of honor and trust.

which were subsequently saved by
the action of a new Secretary of
the Interior. On the other hand
are a number of political bush
whackers who are total strangers
to patriotism and are seeking per-
sonal perferment to satisfy a sell
fish ambition and in order to ac-
compllsh that end would sacrifice
the party and do incalcuable injury
to the country by opposing laws
which the people demand. The
outlook ter the party next year is
not encouraging and if it meets de-
feat, it will be because of the fac
tlonal fight and follv of fool lead
ers within the party.
