Nona, who befriended them by putting out hickory nuts, which in a short time they eat with impunity, sitting on the top of a rookery. As one passed the n by their stock of edibles becoming too large fir prestnt use, the same prompted them to locate a winter storehouse, and was promptly located in a arge apple tree, seven feet from our res. idenoe, where eight feet from the ground their cunning discovered an irtegnlar surface. This they cut into and penetrated a hollow that our judgment would not have conceived, although the tree is a familiar land mark to us for the past thirty years It is here where this pair of rodents exchange their earlv morning salutations within ten feet from our bed How vividly such surroundings would call forth recollections of home in the wild woods more than a half century ago

Here is a d*-* ’ir ; >n of a country scene in Tibet taken from Colonel L. A. Waddell's book. "Lassa and Its Mysteries;" “From every hamlet the cottagers bad swarmed out into the.r fields and were busily plowing and sowing in the glorious sunshine, forming pleasing bits of bright < dor. The men were plowing with oxen gaudily bedecked with plumes of wool dyed glowing scarlet and blue, with long throat tassels of dyed yaks' tails and harness of jingling bells. while close behind the plovers came the gayly dressed women as the sowers s littering broadcast the seed from their bas kets. Most of them, men and women, were humming smirches of song in their light heartedness. Among the tall poplar trees imbedding the homesteads. neatly picked out with red oebte and whitewash, and among the pollarded willow bushes fringing the irrigation canals, flitted rosefinches. fieldfares, hoopoes, pert tits, cinnamon sparrows, shy doves, warblers and thrushes, all blithely nest building." Switzerland’* Heat Holiday*. “The heat holiday." said a schoolteacher. "is a Sw.ss novelty that we ought to introduce here. It is not right for us to treat our school children in the matter of weather as we do. The Sw;» ha ea ui.ix.m'itn tem.erature for s I.??; When the thermometer goes above that max.mum there is no s ’book whether the month be April. May or über. The 1. ..Iren in the insufferable heat are free to bathe in tink ng bro ks, to p. nie in cool groves or to boat on the wind swept lakes. The Swiss re.-oguixe that we can ;m- ■ dren toan to c. nfi„. them for long hours at a stretch in an intolerably hot schoolroom They know that children cannot under such conditions learn a thing, hence the school directors are wise enough by maamg these beat t '. days to save the teachers and the children mu b misery and much wasted time." — Louisville CourierJournal.
