A STRANGE BIRDS NEST.
The Little Brown Wren Builds Fence
of Thorns.


The little brown wren of Central
America builds 4 nest that should he
long to bird five or six times as large
as it is. and to prevent other birds
from disturbing its home while it is
away it builds as protection fence
OF thornS leading TO it,
When Nine. Wren looks for horne
site she selects Il tree where two
branches lie parallel about two feet
apart. Across these two branches she
and her mate lay a little platform
about five feet in length. Near the
trunk of the tree is built dome shap-
ed nest about a foot in height. The
sides of this nest are all interviewer
with thornS. Next a covered passag e-
way is built from the nest to the end
of the platform in as crooked Il man
ner as possible Thorns stick out in
all directions just as in the nest itself,
and every few inches on the inside of
the tunnel little fences of thorns are
placed in such Il way that any crea-
ture not familiar with the pasSa ge-
way will get badly pricked. Finally
across the outer end of the tunnel is 4
movable gateway of thOrns.

Why Not Help Any Living Thing That
Is In a Fix?
A poet has written against q man
''who needlessly sets foot upon a
worm" And President Lincoln once
turned back in his walk to help a bug.
The friend who was walking with him
expressed surprise that the president,
burdened with the cares of a warning
nation, should find time TO assist bug.
WELL" said Lincoln, If 1 had left
the bug struggling on his back 1
wouldn't have felt right. 1 wanted to
put him on his feet and give him an
equal chance with all the other bugs of
his Glass;
1t may be a small thing to you that a
bug finds himself in a position in which
his legs are not long enough to reach
the ground, but put yourself In his
place. How would you feel?
Why not help any living thing that
finds itself in a fix. provided it does not
cost anything Minneapolis Journal

GOOD LOOKING CRAVAT.
Unusual Ties For Wear With Wash
Silk Shirt Waists.

SILK SHIRT Waists.
A most unusual and good looking
cravat for wear with wash silk shirt
waists made in mannish styles is of
black satin. There is a fat bow of the
satin and one long end of the satin
made double and widening out toward
the bottom.
This end is about eight inches long
and is one and a half inches wide at
the top and two and three-Quarter
inches wide at the bottom. Six round
silver or gold buttons are placed at
half inch intervals at the lower end.
On some of these ties piece of
rather heavy cream fllet lace is folded
fiat around the satin end about an
inch and a half from the bottom, and
the buttons are sewed in a row on the
lace
Another black satin tie has square
bow laid in fat plaits and one long
end of the double satin with a little
ecru valenciennes frilled on each side
for about four inches of its length up
from the lower end The effect is very

POLISHING FURNITURE.
Surfaces Have Often Been Ruined by
Not Rubbing Properly.

Not Rubbing Properly.
The prudent housekeeper will be as
wary of doctoring her furniture with
polish that is recommended TO cover
all defects as she would be of a patent
medicine which is guaranteed to cure
every disease.
The highly polished surfaces of fur
niture have often been ruined by a too
free use of a so called polish which,
not having been rubbed dry, has hard
ened, has collected all the dust before
drying and has caused a dull film to
appear over the polished surfaces A
simple and effective polish for clean
ing furniture and removing scratches
is made of one-third linseed oil and
two-thirds benzine
1t should be applied with a paint
brush which has very soft bristles and
rubbed dry with an old soft piece of
muslin or soft flannel. For polishing
dampen q cloth with the mixture, fold
it into a pad, sprinkle q few drops of
alcohol over the surface of the pad
and rub the furniture firmly and
quickly Rub only a small part at
time and be sure to rub until the sur
face is quite dry.

widened in despair. horror and des-
peration.
This train made few stops. hut at
the first station. in obedience to Il sig
nal from The bell cord. it slowed
down sufficiently for the conductor and
brakeman to thrust the man from the
second step of the Pullman: then it
shot ahead nj full speed to make up
the few seconds lost. The tramp re-
manned standing where he bad drop
ped, his face ROW keen and alert. and
his right arm appraised rs it swept by
the train brushed his clothing and the
wind of it stirred his rough. unkempt
hair and beard. Three cars passed.
then came the observation car. Sud
denly his hand closed like wise upon
the rear railing. his body swung ont
and writhed for q few moments in
drew himself in by sheer force of mus
Gle and nerve TO the same crouching
position he had occupied on the Pull
man forward.
Inside the car the other man was
now tearing the letter into the most
minute fragments. as if striving to an
initiate its contents. When the pieces
were too small for further reduction
they swept through the open window
and We're scattered thinly over n half
mile of roadbed. The man rose and
glanced about the car. 1t was almost
empty. and the other passengers were
buried in papers or books. He turned
back quickly, opened the door. and
with light spring threw himself from
the train, but not to the ground Just
| as he sprang, the tramp flung himself
out suddenly, with nothing but his left
hand grasping the rail. AS the two
bodies came together the tramps right
arm closed like a steel band around
the other, while the weight of it bore
them down, down, until their legs al
most swept the mocking rails of the
roadbed.
Not many men-not one In a thou
Sand-could have sustained such a
| weight in such a position, swinging
| from side to side under the motion of
q train going at fifty miles an hour,
but gradually, little by little, the left
| arm contracted and drew them up, up
| and in until finally, with a last deSper-
| ate effort, they We're both crouching
upon the rear platform, white, gasping,

The we'll dressed man recovered first.
The horror was still in his eyes, but
with it was something more. Perhaps

perhaps his miraculous rescue had
made possible the greater rescue from

to him.

ever since we went to school together,

half million dollars, and from poor

sponsible-I do not know about that
But do know you are no more guilty
than am In the way the paper puts
