The nun birds, or genus Monasa, are
so called from the somber black or
slaty plumage, which, however, is
somewhat relieved by the bright red
or yellow bill, and in some cases
white feathers at the bend or the
wing and about the bill.
The specimens were collected BY

specimens of the two new forms were

Black lace wells with flower designs

boldly. Filet lace wells are also new

Hen Makes Nest in Big Office Safe

one of them snowy white Mr.. Wrenn
had never heard Of Matching eggs in
an Office safe, and he didn't know
what to do. especially as he is no
farmer. He called a special meet
ing of his Office employees, and after
lengthy debate it was decided that
as long as the hen had taken the mi
tiative. the only thing to do was to
put up with and let her hatch the
eggs in the Office safe.
For three weeks the hen practically
bossed the Office, and, after deducting,
it was discovered that the eggs ought
TO have been Matched on a recent Sat
urday, according TO the Office al
manac.
Saturday morning Mr.. Wrenn and
the Office force came to work a little
ahead Of time, and the door of the safe
was thrown open, while every one ex-
pected to see 10 chicks run heller

of cackles from the frightened hen.

came, and they were as unmatched as
china eggs. All that day there was a
feeling of Misrepresentation, and Mon
day Mr. Wrenn went to the Office to
see IL the expected had happened.
From the half-closed door of the
safe there issued a half-hearted
''cluck," and the silver hen, followed
by two forlorn-looking chicks, hoped
