Followed Her Vanished Nest.

This story of thrush that missed.
and caught its train comes from Lima
vady, in Ulster. Ireland. The bird had
built it's nest under a first-class car
riage Immediately over the steam heat
ing pipe. and Notwithstanding that the
carriage travelled between Limavady
and Londonderry. the nest contained
four eggs.
The institution Of the summer serv-
ice of trains caused trouble. The car
rage left Londonderry in the evening
at 4:4O instead of 1850, and when the
mother thrush, who had presumably
been on a foraging expedition, re-
turned, she found carriage. nest and
eggs had disappeared. She was no
ticed at Londonderry in apparent dis
tress, and the station master apprised
Limavady of the circumstances and
asked the railway people there to look
out for the bird, suggesting that she
would probably arrive by the next
train. The bird duly arrived at Lima
vady either by train or air and re-
sumed her task of Matching the eggs.
The sympathetic railway officials
have decided to withdraw the carriage
from service pending the Matching OF
the eggs.

HAD NO RATIoNs TO SPARE
Good Reason Why Confederate Com.
mander Was Willing to See His
Prisoners Escape.

When, at Gaines Mill in 1852, the
9TH Texas captured two whole regi-
ments of Union soldiers, the Texans
were all very proud CT their achieve
ment. One of them has described an
amusing scene in connection with the
surrender.
When the Union Officers gave up
their swords to Col. Upton, they were
so prompt in the duty that he was
compelled to lay down the frying pan
which he carried in the place OF a
sword and hold the weapons presented
In his arms
Just then he noticed a commotion at
the far end Of the captured regiments.
That was near the timber, and squad
Of the prisoners were making an eff
fort to pass by big john Ferris Of
Company B, who stood there unaided,
endeavoring to intercept them.
Springing upon a log. the armful Of
swords dangling about in every direc-
ton, Upton shouted:
John Ferris, what are you trying to
do now?"
II am trying to keep these fellows
from escaping" yelled Big John.
LET them go, you fool" shouted
back Upton. WED rather fight than
feed them!"

SWARM OF BEES INVADE TRAIN
Hives Break and Passengers Are
Routed by 100000 Insects Near
London Bridgs.

London.-Bees were much in evil
dence near London bridge recently.
There were 100000 of them bound
for a bee farm at Bures Suffolk, to
begin with; there were also some
others, healthy English specimens,
close by, couple Of dozen of which
for few glorious minutes may be
said to have made things hum"
On the bumpy journey across Lon
don bridge to the train for Holm
wood the box containing hive broke
and suddenly every one was in a
hurry.
Eventually the carman and par
cells clerk tackled the remaining bees
and put them in a box, but the few
that escaped did wonders, and per
spring travellers fed as from an I'M
seen terror.

DOGS MISTAKE WAS COSTLY
Mistook Basket Running on Wires
Overhead for Bird and Gave Chase
Left Ruin Behind.

Nick heard sudden, swapping clang
and then he saw something fly along
over his head. Nick is a dog and his
business in life is hunting birds with
his master. Nick saw the something
above his head and quite naturally
thought it was a bird. So he set on
to catch the bird. He did not stop to
remember that he was in drug store
with his master and that drug store
is not q proper place to hunt In. he
was thinking only of the bird. Over
counters and displays he went, scat
tering bottles and packages that drug
stores usually have set out for people
to buy, and he ended the chase at the
cashiers desk. There the bird had
stopped, and as his master and the
store proprietor came running through
the ruins Nick had made, Nick under
stood. It was not bird. but only q
basket that runs on wires from the
sales counter to the cashiers desk
and back again.

LOST CANADIAN GOLD MINE
Archdeacon Whitaker a Missionary In
the North Relates Story
He Heard.

Edmonton, Canada.-Headed by
Bishop Lucas, who has had % years
experience in the Anglican mission
fields of the North. and Archdeacon
Whitaker, close :ond with 10
years In the same field, party of ten
have left Edmonton for the North.
Archdeacon Whitaker relates re-
markable story Of lost gold mine be-
tween Fort Mcpherson and Herschel
island. According to Mr.. Whitaker ira
d1tion says that q great number Of
years ago a party of nine men, one Of
them an old C. P. r. surveyor, found a
gold mine which was stated to be Of
fabulous value among the mountains
in that vicinity. They made elaborate
geographical notes so that they would
be able. to find it again, and then re-
turned with the object Of making the
necessary arrangements to work the
mine.
On the way out, each of them heav.
lily laden with the precious metal, pro-
visions ran short and seven died. The
two survivors Of the party organized
another party, but the geographical
calculations were lost in the meantime
and all attempts to locate the mine
ended in failure.

Color the Animal to Suit Yourself.

when they got to the tree the fire was
burning so fiercely that the smoke
nearly blinded them, and the ashes
whirled up and made white rings
around their eyes. They did not get
the fire, but the white rings around
their eyes stayed.
No more birds would go for the fire,
so the black racer snake said, Let me
try it." He swan to the island.
crawled through the grass to the foot
of the tree, and went in by small
hole at the bottom. But, inside, it was
too hot for him; he twisted and lodged
over the hot ashes until he was almost
on fire, and then he managed to find
the hole again. He has been black
ever since, and has kept the trick of
lodging, darting and doubling up as If
he were in hot place.
Then the great black snake, "the
Climber" went for the fire, but he, too,
fell into the blaze when he put his
head over the top of the burning tree
and was scorched dull black.
After the animals had held another
council, it was found that all were
afraid to go-all but the little water
spider. She said, Il can either go over
the water or under it. and I am sure
that can get the fire."
But how can you bring it back?'
the animals asked.
.I can attend to that" said she. And
she spun a thread from her body and
wove it into the shape Of tiny bowl.
This bowl she fastened on her back,
and then crossed over to the island.
She came to the foot Of the burning
tree. raked out one little coal and put
it in the tiny basket on her back. Then
she skipped across the water and de-
livered the fire. 1t has been burning
ever since, and, ever since, the little
water spider has kept her bowl on her
back.

Long time ago, after the earth was
made and hung up from the four cor
nB of the sky to dry, the animals
came down from the place above the
great arch and set the sun seven hand
breadths above to give them light.
But they found that the world was
cold and they needed fire.
Up above, the Thunders listened to
he talk of the animals, and sent their
lightning down to put fire into the
bottom of hollow tree which was
growing on the earth. The tree was
on small island, and when the ami
mails saw smoke coming out of it, they
knew that fire was there.
How are we to get the f1re?" they
asked each other, and they called a
council to decide.
Every animal that could swim said,

bird that could fly said, Il will 60" The

known that no pumping could avert

to their duty, driven from boiler room

COLORS' EFFECTS ON MOODS
Belief That Has Long Been Held 10
Declared to Have Real Founda-
ton in Scientific Fact.

People to whom certain colors rep
resent sounds or emotions have long
been laughed at, but scientific work on
the suns rays is proving them to
have justification for their theories.
Red. it appears, is the most exciting
and stimulating of all colors and has a
special effect on the activity of the
brain. Blue, which so many people in
an age Of great nervous strain and
tension find soothing, is so in reality.
Unless you are in depressed and mel
ancholy state sea blue curtains at your
bedroom windows have a beneficial
effect, especially if you face south and
get the morning sun.
Color, indeed. especially in flowers,
has an extraordinary effect on the
mental condition. The sight of Grim
son, pink and amethyst rhododen-
drons growing in the open air has a
curiously uplifting and joyous effect.
