Phoebe Is Cautious.

The other day in my walk I came
upon two phoebes' nests under over
hanging rocks, both with half fledged
young in them, and in neither case
were the parent birds in evidence.
They did not give their secret away
by setting up the hue and cry that
nesting birds usually set up on such
occasions. I finally saw them, as ST.
lent as shadows, perched near by, with
food in their beaks, which they finally
swallowed as my stay was prolonged.
And the nests, both on a level with
my eye, were apparently filled only
with a motionless mass of blush
mold. AS I gently touched them, in
stead Of four or five heads with open
mouths springing up, the young only
settled lower in the nest and disposed
themselves in headless, shapeless
mass. The phoebe is evidently a very
cautious bird, though no birds are
more familiar about our porches and
outbuildings.-John Burroughs in the
Atlantic Monthly.

there are no faddy notions worked

/ have known of many instances
where fancy fashions were carried
into house building to such an extent
that should rather have the mate
rials that were used in building than
the house after it is finished. With
the exception of better arrangement
of the partitions to economic room
and increase comfort, this style of
house has been built for twenty or
thirty years, and it has always been
popular. Such houses sell readily,
especially when they are built In a
good residence section of the town.
A house as large as this, practically
81 by 45 feet, should have lot at
least so feet wide. The appearance
Of a good-sized house Is often in
jured by placing it on a narrow lot.
Theis is no sense in economizing at
the wrong place. A 50-foot lot may
cost one or two hundred dollars more
than a 40-foot lot; but in five years
time, II the neighborhood improves.
