JAMES GILLIES Pi In the city, and every Piano HdIdh Oity Lumber Yard NESTS. zvitnutthl pi D- tween tb Fiery Insects. On the broad, brown salt meadows that skirt the Housatonic river just above its mouth is a -vast colony of marsh wrens.

In the acres of tangle tules and cat-tails they have built nests Innumerable, prettily wovenaitairs of reed and cat-tail leaves. The nea'tis, which are as large as one's head, are so compactly constructed and so thoroughly thatched as to be entirely weather-tight. As a rule, the thrifty little chattering wrens prefer not to occupy a last year's" nejst, so there are: syery season hundreds of. empty onesir They are not allowed to remain vacant long, however, for there are too many creatures seeking just such snug shelters. One species of field or meadow mice, take possession of a great many of them.and the old mice can be all times of the day nimbly running up and down the reeds, coming to and going from their cosy homes.

Like most squatters, they are not the most desirable settlers, and, sad to say, frequently repay their open-hearted landlords by eating all the pink eggs in the near-by. wrens' nests. If caught in the act, a' doizen of the excited birds will organize a jyigilance committee, trail the thief to his home and drive him and his family from the nest, tearing It to pieces to prevent any return. Big spiders, too, love to nest in the abandoned basket-like abodes, and live for many seasons in them. The most desirable tenants of all are the big black and white hornets.

far the greater number of the old nests are inhabited by these fiery fellows, and, odd to relate, they are best of friends with the landlords. As if by agreement with the wrens, they keep a perpetual guard, over the new nests, as well as those where they live, lie 94 dog, an unconscious' rail or snipe shooter, a bird's-egging boy, or any creature whatever approach the nests within a few yards, and, suddenly, without warning, a cohort of winged warriors will fall on the intruder, and flight, is the only safe course. To fight would-mean for the hornets would soon be reinforced by other nest-1 fuls until they would cover the-victim and sting him to death. The wrens seem fully conscious of the value of such sentinels, for they take care to build their new nests always very near the. old.

The birds are themselves very tofensetess, and, their nests being easily located on account of 6ize and the noise made by the wrens, they have been in some localities entirely wiped out by egg-collectors. The boys have learned to give this colony a wide berth, however, and5 the! Housatonic marsh-wrens are fast increasing in numbers, and, unless the hornets shift their quarters, are likely to sing happily there in the reeds and raise many a brood of young 3 ears to come. TUden's Umbrella. Abram S. Hewitt, who was a great friend of Samuel J.

Tilden, one day brought into his office an old cotton umbrella, with a broken rib or two "and a few holes It Could not have cost overv fifty cents. He placed it in the accus-7-tomed corner, beside a fine $10 silk umbrella belonging to J. L. Haigh, his partner." When starting home in the afternoon, he walked off with" Haigh's' umbrella, leaving his own, which Haigh had to use as it was raining hard. On opening the old cotton affair Haigh noticed a piece of white tape sewed on the inside near the top, and on going to the" light read:" "Samuel J.

Tildeti.J Gramei'cy Park, New York." The next day he returned it to the same corner and said to Mr. Hewitt: "This is Mr. Tilden's Umbrella you forgot last night." "Oh, said Hewitt, rising and going after it, "I am very glad to eet it back. Mr Tilden is extremelv careiui augui ilia uuiureiia. xxiiq where is my silk one that you took away last nightr Haigh asked.

"Oh, don't knQw about tnat was the reply, and that was all the satisfaction that Haigh ever got. Vosh Skains' Experience with Quicksand. Montgomery, Special: Josh Skains, a negro, went down into a' well to clean it out. As soon as he put his feet on the "bottom quicksand closed around them, and he could not move an inch. He told those at the top that he was fastened in sucking sand, and for them to pull him up.

They pulled and pulled, but could not move the man. The suction was so great that try as they would they could not move him. For forty-ighjt hours he remained at the bottom of the well, and ali the time those above were doing their best to pull him out. He had been pulled at with rope and windlass until his jsints were so sore that this ha-, to be abandoned. Finally a box was sunk around him, and the sand and mu were dipped out of the bos.

After several Lours more the man was released and was pulled to the surface. He was mora dead than alive when he reached the top. COYxlne Graver Crime. Mrs. Outertown: "That Mr.

C.A.SNOW&CO Paten- OrriOE. Washington, D. THE ELECTRIC LAMP. Jtorles of Hotel Hen TVho Manas. to Have Lots of Fan Oat of It.

Several hotel men were standing in a group in an uptown hotel recently chatting, The conversation turned upon the eccentricities of guests. The many odd ways in which different people handle electric lights came up, and one hotel man said: "Nearly every one now knows how the incandescent lamp is operated, but still we meet with some funny in stances of ignorance. Last week we nearly had our hotel set on' fire on, account of a piece of stupidity" on the part of a guest. The building fire-proof alone prevented conflagration. A woman came to the house who was in the habit -of sleeping with a dim light in -lier the electric lamp bothered her.

She either had to let it burn brightly, or else turn it off altogether. Finally she hit upon the idea of wrapping a towel around it. Then she began to question whether the towel would catch fire. Then she adopted the happy expedient of wet-1 ting the towel. That was the worst thing' that she could, do.

She soon dropped asleep, and of course the towel soon began to burn. A blazing piece dropped on the curtains, and soon the whole room was afire. She was badly scared and, of course, the contents of the room were ruined." was odd," said another one ol the party, "but the strangest thing I have heard of was the case of a farmer who came into St. Louis. He went to a hotel where electric lamps were used.

He tried for an hour to put it out, and then sent for a call-boy. The "guest explained his dilemma, and the boy promptly stepped up to the lamp and turned the button. There was a moment of silence, and then from the place where the farmer stood there came a flash and report, and a bullet 'buried itself in the wall, narrowly ihissing'the' boy. Again' and again the pistol was heard until every chamber was empty. Fortunately the boy escaped and the police entered the room and placed the farmer under arrest.

The old fellow was tclkirig incoherently, and seemed mad clear through. he Was finally quieted down he aVe'hls reason for shooting. He said that he had been trying Jto put out a new-fangled sort of a light and had not been able to do it. Then he called a boy, who blew it out. Just after the light went out he heard a click, and knew that someone had cocked a revolver.

He at once thought he was about to be murdered and robbed, and did not wait, but began shooting at once. When told of his mistake he was much chagrined, and apologized most This story brought forth another one from a member of the party, who had not yet spoken. He said: "When we put electric lights in our we placed them so that they could be moved to any part of the room, plenty of wire being allowed for that purpose. One night a man came to the house who was unfamiliar with the light, and could not find the way to put it out. Evidently he did not wish to show his ignorance, and as he could not sleep with the burning, he cast about for dine way to get rid of it.

Finally he bureau up alongside the' lamp. Then he took tht globe and placed it in one of the bureau drawers, and closed the drawer tightly. The result was the light was practically put out. The chambermaid found it there in the morning, and it was still burning brightly. He admitted his ignorance then, and we showed him how the machine worked." St.

Louis Chronicle. Girls fVbo Economize, They were eating afternoon Ice cream and exchanging experiences, and the girl in red asked the girl in brown if she ever practiced economy. "Don't mention it!" said the girl in brown. "Do you see those two gloves?" and she laid a dainty pair of little brown kids on the table, palms up. "They're both for one hand," said the girl in red.

did that happen?" "Basily enough! I wear one of those gloves and carry the other. It all happened through an insane attempt I made to carry out a scheme of economy. I had an old pair of brown kids just like this pair and as one of my new ones had given out I decided to use a bit of the old kids to repair it" "H'm! That was the first false step. Why didn't you take your glove to a MM professional giove-menaer "Because, my dear, the professional glove-mender doesn't mend. He only repairs, which means putting in a whole new finger.

He declines to patch, Now what I wanted was an invisible patch. So I cut a circular bit out of the best part of the glove, intending to lew it neatly into the break. "Well?" "It wasn't well, cut a gash in my best right hand glove and I Just know mat economy is the road to ruin like a few Ittshel pot atoeton subf erirtion Keeps -iE LUMBER, LA'IH, SASII, SHINGLE DO'JRS.
