HUMMING BIRDS NEST SMALL
When Completed It 10 Scarcely karuer
Than q Walnut Shell but II with
stands the Elements.

The most dainty structure built in
this country by the bill and feet Of
birds Is the nest made by the ruby
throated humming bird, writes T. Gill
bert Pearson. When completed 1t is
scarcely larger than an English wal
nut, and is saddled on a small hori-
zontal limb Of a tree, often many feet
from the ground. 1t Is composed al
most entirely Of soft plant fbers, frag-
ments Of spiders webs sometimes be-
Ing used to hold them in shape. The
onter sides are thickly studded with
bits Of lichen, and practiced, indeed, is
the eye of man or woman that can dis
tnguish 1t from a knot on a limb.
Although the humming birds nest is
exceedingly frail, there is nothing on
record to show that any great number
Of them come to grief during the sum-
mer rains. 1t is, however, not called
upon for long term Of occupation.
Within a month after two white eggs
are laid the young depart on their
tiny pinions. Young birds that require
a longer period for growth before leav-
Ing the nest are furnished usually with
more enduring abiding places. In the
case of the bald eagle, the young Of
which do not fly until they are many
weeks old, a most substantial struc-
ture Is provided.

Second French Revolution.

The French revolution of 1S4S is
sometimes called the second revolu-
ton. the first having been that of 17S9
resulting in the establishment of re-
public which was followed by the enl-
pire under Napoleon /, and this in
turn by the restoration Of the Bourbon
dynasty. The revolution of 1S4S re-
suited in the abdication and banish-
ment Of King Louis Philippe. the
proclamation of a republic, the cleo
don of Louis Napoleon as president,
and later the establishment of the en-
pire with him as emperor under the
title of Napoleon III. This resolution
was not accompanied by extensive
military operations, but there was
heavy fighting in Paris in which sew
eral thousand persons were killed.

Origin Of the Silhouette.

A man there was In France, In the
last of the eighteenth century, who be-
came minister of finance, and was so
economical and bade the French people
to be equally so that all manner Of fun
was made of him, and the cheapest ar
tcles were named for him. One day
painter said: ITO be economical we
must stop using paints and colors.
Here" he said to lady sitting In
the sun, "let me draw you In black and
save colors," and he drew her profile
as 1t cast shadow against his panel.
There" he said. There is likeness
OF you without expense OK paints. Let
us name 1T for our worthy minister Of
finance" And they did. The minis
ter's name was Etienne de Silhouette.
And that's how the silhouette came to
be--as joke.-Ladies' Home Journal.

The Three White Lines.

1t is said that the three white lines
which appear on the collars Of sailors
blouses in the United Kingdom, the
lines being straight for men of the
regular navy and wavy for men of the
naval volunteer force, represent the
three naval victories of Nelson-the
battles of the Nile, Copenhagen and

mated the idea of these lines, or when
they were first used, but there is q
