'Among the curiosities of nature there uic better worthy of study than the l--'? of b.rds. The skill displayed by liii-se little architects is simply wonderful, mid one is lost iu wonder at the knowL patienee and perseverance of these builders.

Especially, is this the eas 5 of pensile bints, that suspend their huh i.trumson branches, sometimes even i.a.i.Jijf tlieui over the water. The weaver b.nl, which embraces sev. eral varieties, is one of the most ingenious of the pensile birds. It generally hangs its nest on a twig over the water, and sc low down that if a monkey attempts tc renl the eggs, which it ib ltpt to do, the twig bends with its weight, and a cold buiit is the consequence. The Mahal! weaver bird of South Africa, is a very small bird with an ambition to live in a very large house, and industry enough to binid it ior itself.

The shape of the nest is similar to an oil Uask, biu, of course, great! magnified in dimensions, and very rough on the outside. Tiie eoc.able weaver birds unite their eil'orts and make a kind of thatched roof, under which, or rather in which they budd their nests. Sometimes this struetr tire ten leet square. Each nest is shut out tr every other, although all are under same roof, and while the whole e-mmHtniiy join in buildiur the 'oof, each biiikis own nest, The commencement is interwoven with the brunches of the. trees, the whole structure being very neat end compact.

The palm swift of Jamaica, so called from It rapid flight, builds a curious nest which hangs to a spathe of the eoeoauut palm. The exterior is of cotton aud the interior of feathers, the waits being very strong and compact. Sometimes it builds several nests and glues them together, leaving an opening between them like a gallery. The lancelate honey-eater builds a nest iu the shape of a hammock, and suspends it by the ends to a small twig. It is made of grass and wool, mixed with the down of certain flowers.

This nest is very deep and comfortable and may probably have suggested to man the hammock. The tailor bird, which is a native of In I. a. is quite expert in sewing. It makes i nest of leaves, which it sews to-e her with the fiber of a plant, first piercing holes in them with its beak.

In the hollow forv- it deposits a quantity of cotton, thu? -reparing a soft, warm nest for its fuig. THE The Wichita Western D. H. Rhodes, Wichita, TIMK TABLE. GOING WEST.

Several gentlemen have bought up a great quantity of cemetery lots and are holding them in numbers varying from 300 to 4,000. These lots were bought at $30 eacl'and are now sold at Of coi.r:$e this is nice for the speeulators.but it is rubbing it into the qiuet, steady-going; people who only want a gravc-yurd lot to be buried ia. The country ought to rise up arnj. insist that these ghoul sh speculators use one or two of their lots in person and turn the rest over to the cemetery authorities. At present they are dog in the manger in a most whole-souled way.

They won't let other people be buried at a reasonable price, and they certainly don't care themselves about using the lots. They should be forced to either cut bait or go ashore eitlier get themselves planted or let someone else who needs it do so. Chicago Mail. SOLID TOP. sent, free to Jan.

Farmers living in the vicinity of a corn-cob pipe factory are exceptionably Although many milhon cobs are burned or allowed to rot every year, the price for pipe-makings purposes keeps up.
