Indian Tailor Bird.

very curious nest is made by the
tailor bird of India, d tiny yellow crea-
ture. To escape snakes and monkeys
this bird takes dead leaf flies up
into tree, and with fiber for a
thread and its bill for a needle sews
the leaf to a green one hanging from
the tree. The sides are sewn up, an
opening to the nest thus formed being
left at the top. The lear, apparently
hanging from q twig, would never be
taken for nest.

Up 10 p. e.; Imports Larger

Swiss manufacturers have increased
the price of watches 10 per cent. This
advance follows the granting recently
Of higher wage scale to watchmakers
In that country and makes total ad
vance in the price Of Swiss watche
within the last six months Of 20 per
cent. The increase in the wages OF
the workman, according to importers,
appears to nave acted as a stimulus
to production in the Swiss factories,
as recent arrivals Of watches have been
larger and show improved workman

absorbing about three quarters Of the
watch output Of Switzerland at the
present time.
American manufacturers arc still
having considerable difficulty in filing
domestic orders for watches, because
the demand continues greatly in cxccsa
Of production. Partly because of this

prices, retailers report that their re
