It was Sunday morning and the day broke dear and warm. Every body dn-ssed an for spring weather mid went otT t?> church ( everybody went to church In thoWe day* It wasn't con sidered res|>eetabio not to.). The spring (lowers were out Iii all their glory, All of the gardens were aglow with the bright colors of the hyacinths, the Jon (pills and eroou.HscH. The woods were white and gold with the blossoms of the dogwood and Jassamliie and the ten-, der green of the young leave* were In bright cont rast with tin* darker greens of the .pine forests. The birds were tilling the air with their happy nott* and every breeze wafted the fra grant perfumes of a thou sand wild flowers. As the services progressed a chill began to |>ervade the churches and ?/ dark shadows to obscure the erstwhile brightness of the morning. Presently the worshippers were amazed to see swirling down and about the windows big white flakes of snow. Before the doxology was sung and the benedic tion pronounced the fleecy mantle that covens! the astonished earth was six Inches on the level. The apjiearanee that the snow-covered ground lyid trees lent, to the view was wlerdly hcAOt.l- ! fnl. From Its level surface p?M>ped nut the golden .

It Ih, hy his clear cut bugle call, announcing. In his masterful way. that summer has ooine to stay. When he makes his appearance, you may safely plant geraniums on the lawn, and i>aek away the winter flannels. There Is something regal ahout this beautiful bird, robed in orange flame and black, with his dominant air. and clarion voice. He arrives several weeks earlier than hla somberly dressed mate, and seems uneasy and nervous, as he flits from tree to tree, all the while uttering bis querelous cry, "Will you? Will JOUtj Heally, Truly?" until ho hears her answering call. The plumage of the female Is somber brown and gray, shad ing Into splotches of black and orange. From her dress one would hardly take her to be the consort of the j brilliant bird that flashes his vlvhl enlc.rs among the branches. There Is nothing retiring about h|m, be believes In k<*eping In sight., and seems to think his "gift of beauty" Is something to In* passed on for others to enjoy, so he takes no pains to conceal what lie knows Is pleasing to the eje. With all his alert, business-like ways, Me Is content to allow his mate to do all the weaving of that wonderful nest, a nest by the way, that has made his family famous. The mother oriole se lects the. remote end of some slender l|mb from which to hang her summer hammock. This limb must be too small to bear the weight of a pilfering squir rel, and too far from the ground for a blacksnake to venture. The material for this nest. Is selected with the groat st care, much being rejected that seems to come up to specifications. If she baa her doubts about the strength o? ?i string, or a strand of hair, she p" ? .?cods to test it. by ho.diug one -?<i while her mate pulls and tugs a* ihe it her. until Its strength is proven. She uses vegetable fiber, long grasses, horse hair, strings, feathers, bits of cloth, and flexible bark in the construction nf t bis marvel of bird architecture. This expert little weaver, uses both hill and claws in working the materia! in and out, to form the felt-like text ure of the nest Her greatest care is -.riven to the anchoring of the top of the nest to the twig which Is to sup port It. In some wise way, she real zes that the strongest strings, and the most wire-like hairs, must do duty here. <o. with marvelous skill, she twines ukI loops, and loops and twines, until it is securely woven to the supporting branch. When finished, she has a pouch-like bag, so deep, that the babies; in the bottom, are safe from owls and hawks, even the sly old crow is un tble to raid thts nest, as ho has never learned to poise in mldAir. and there is no perch strong enough to support him. The shape of this nest varies in different localities. In outlying re gions. where hawks and owls abound, the nest Is made much deeper than those in more protected places. 1 he eggs number from four to six, and are white, with scrawled markings of black and brown. The mother oriole does t lie incubating, and is most devotedly waited upon by her. now truly domesti cated mate, who never tires of fetching lier dainties from garden and on-hard.] When the young are hatched, both pa rents share the job of keeping their hunger satisfied, and stilling their In cessant squealing. All day long, above the sound of the wind can be heard the complaining voice of the young orioles, constantly begging for food, and incidentally, calling attention to the whereabouts of the swinging cradle. A pair of orioles show the greatest afTee-, tloti for pnch_other,mnd lt_ls"satd, that once mated, theye are mated for life They return year after year to the same locality, nnd either repair the old nest or build a new one nearby*. As a rule, the oriole feeds on fruits I and berries, but during the time the young are In the nest, he turns his attention to the tree-top Insects, that are overlooked by birds less active. ??oriole."
