“Ob, pupa, see!’’ critd little Charlie
Fenton.
II: was standing in a shadowy path ic
the woods, beckoning to his father.
IVhen the latter joined his son he found
him in ecstacies over a bird’s nest. It
was a deserted nest; he had it in hit
hands and was closely examining it.
“Isn’t it cute?” he sai l, his eyes shin
mg.
It was cunningly fashioned, indeed,
.nterwoven with small sticks and shreds
of mors, lined with fine hair and beauti
fully rounded,
“It dropped from a tree, don’t you
,
think?” Charlie asked.
* -“Quite likely,” assented his father.
“Do birds ever use their nests twice?” .
Charlie next asked.
“Sonn of them do. Others make a
nest every year. Some birds are too i
lazy to make their own nests, and lay ;
their eggs in the nests of other birds.
How would you like to eat Lirds’-uest
soup?”
Charlie looked up at his father to see
whether he was in earnest.
“Birds’-nest soup!” he repeated, star¬
ing at the not overly clean structure of
twig3 and hair. “Nobody ever eats birds'
nests!”
“They do in some countrie , my boy, j
and consider them a, rich treat. In por¬
tions of China, as high as forty dollars i
has been paid for a ‘catty’ of birds’ i
nests, not weighing more than a pound
and a quarter!”
“On! papa,” Charlie cried . , in . amaze
ment, “Not nests like these!”
“No, not quite. There arc found ir,
great abundance on tho island of Java,
j s a Mangerous feat to gather them, as >
they are built against the steep . wabs , of ,
caverns which can only be reached by
ropes and bamboo ladders.”
“But are the nests not very tasteless?”
asked Charlie.
“On the contrary, they are pronounced ;
quitc nutritious. They are built of sca
plants, which contain a nourishing sub¬
stance. I could tell you some wonderful
things about birds’ nests. What would
you think, for instance, if you broke in
t* migii birds’ nests up to your waists?”
hrn* jfou/6 If ' fiskeu
c , u ’ witll a w ide stare,
“Easily enough, in some countries,
! All nests are not built high. The pen-
1 i heavy birds, good swimmers,
gu ns are
b t lniscrable walkers. They J are not
able to build in the trees, and so they
build on the s hores of the sea.”
“Out of what do they build their
nests ?” asked Charlie.
“Well, they seem to be satisfied with
scooping holes in (he ground. Each
nest has a concealed road, covered by
the grass, along which the birds travel.”
The two were now walking through
the woods, Charlie carrying the nest in
one hand and holding his father’s hand
with the other.
“Sometimes,” continued Mr. Fenton,
“these ucst-holcs are so close together
that sailors sink into them while walk- j
ing. S vine of them have received smart
blows from the beaks of the angry birds :
before they had time to withdraw their
legs. I once read of a sailor who lift a
portion of his trousers behind him.”
Charley laughed heartily.
“That reminds me of tho time I med¬
dled with the old hen,” he said. “She
gave me an awful flopping. You came j
and chased her away.”
“You were more scared than hurt, my
boyl She fancied that vou had designs
upon her little chicks. The bower birds
build a queer nest. It is in the form of

The nests are often more than h-. ee feet
long, and affords a shady retreat in

“And the bower keeps off the rain!”
suggested Charlie.
“Weil, I shouldn’t wonder if it did,”
replied his father.— Fran . H. Sto.ujj\r.
