ALsAcE sToRKs ON DECREASE
Careful Supervision Of Birds Shows
They Are Rapidly Dying Out
Various Reasons Given.

Every year the number of storks to
be seen in Alsace becomes less, the
London Daily Globe states. OF the
four nests perched on the big chin

only one has been occupied this year.
In many Of the villages the great
migrators have ceased for long time
to relieve the landscape, and 1t seems
only question Of time when the
stork In Alsace will be a memory.
Various are the causes assigned for
this desertion-the drainage of the
marshes. the multiplication OF tele-
phone and telegraph wires and the
smoke from factory chimneys.
In Germany for the better study OF
storks there has been created sort of
service in connection with the educa-
ton department which tends to set up
an "etat civil" for each bird, or, in
other words, to register them after the
manner which obtains for citizens in
France.
Each bird is captured where posi-

bird; for instance, one was found dead

Pastors Merlted Rebuke.

When Samuel s. Colber was preach
ing in an old log schoolhouse in John
son county, Missouri, in 1852, his
congregation was quite small. One
Sunday all were sitting at the desks
forward near the puncheon floor.
The sermon was monotonous and the
old log seats had no backs. Observ-
ing the sleepy, downcast look of tho
congregation, the minister woke them
up by shouting: Arouse, heaven is
not under the floor!"

Latest Models the Prettiest.
Several changes are noted in the
shaping of the kimonos of flowered
silk, muslin or challie and the new
cuts are undeniably an Improvement

marked is the treatment of the back
form, which is now slightly gored from
the neck to the hips. The straight
cut front forms are gathered into a
neck band which Is a continuation of

the narrow straight sleeves are set

the figure as nothing in linen, batiste,

lines as the lingerie garments in other
materials and trimmed with hand en-
