Hungarian Faces.

| have never seen such interesting
photographers show windows as there
are in Budapest. Partly this is because
the photographers are good, but partly
it must lie in the Hungarians them
selves-such vivid, interesting, uncOn-
ventiOnal faces. These people look as
if they ought to do the acting and
write the music and novels and plays
and paint the pictures for all the rest
of the world. If they haven't done so
it must be because. along with their
natural talent. they have this Incidence

wesIev,s Father and Wesley.

One cleric well known 10 fame who
took snuff and loved his pipe was Sam
uel Wesley, rector of Epworth, Lin
colnshirc, from 1864 to 1I:}J. He not
only smoked his pipe. but sang its
praises:
In these raw mornings. when I'm freez-
ing ripe.
What can compare with a tobacco pipe?
Primed. cooked and toucht. 'twould better
heat man
Than the Bath fagots or Scotch warm
ing pan.
Samuel's greater son. John Wesley. did
not share the parental love of pipe.
He spoke of the use Of tobacco as IAN
uncleanly and unwhOlesOme self in
duIgence" and described snuffing as a
silly. nasty, dirty custom" WeStmin-

BIRD BOOSTS.
Safety First as It Is Practieed by the
Feathered Tribes.

One of the best ways TO prepare for
a long journey is to make short one.
So we find that many birds, before
they embark on their great air voyage
which is to take them from their sum-
mer 10 their winter home, first make
daily trips between their sleeping quar-
tiers and their feeding grounds
This is the habit Of our robin. Rob
ms raise two and sometimes three fam
lilies in one season. When the first
family leaves the nest early in June
il is taken by the father robin TO some
dense. leafy growth Of young trees TO
pass the night To this place they re-
turn every night. Many other robins,
sometimes thousands Of them, come to
the same woods. Such resorts are
known as robin rooSts. In flying to
and from them the young birds learn
how TO find their way.
Meanwhile mother robin is patiently
sitting on her blue eggs, from which
i'm about two weeks time another little
family will appear. In two weeks
more they also will be large enough to
leave the nest and can join their broth
erS and sisters in the rOOSt.
Grackles. or crow blackbirds, have
the same habit. But since they have
only one family or brood both the par
ent birds go to the roOSt with their
young.
Sometimes the robins are joined by
the rracklpS and both bv the European
starimgS. which. brought TO this coun-
try and released in Central park, New

All these things viii not make actual
setting out or care of the trees one bit

too elaborate an idea for practice; yet,
1t IS only the better arrangement of
the planting stock that one does set
out. 1t does not necessitate the pur-
chase of an elaborate supply of nursery
stock. If the price of the stock for a
desirable plan is too great for one
years investment, why not make the
plans just the same, set out part Of
them the first year, and follow with a
little more each year. In such case
the planting plan becomes the more
valuable, since it carries the same
definite idea forward from year to
year.
