DlmiiHiti w- Contestant Klc in fireatest Height, 'Tin Sniel. if your last ear's tenants, the wrens, have returned and aro again occupying the box you have refitted and repaired for them, you will soon si'.! some small bunches of feathers Indicating that the I first brood of this pair of busy house keepers has arrived, says tho Indianapolis Xews. Perhaps you will not have these old tenants this summer If you ha.vo per mittee! the English sparreiws to take pos session during the absen 'e of tho wrens, who go to the warmer climate of tho southern states .luring the winter. There nre many varieties of wrens, more than ino species In both hemispheres, and thoy aro grouped under the general term 'troglodytes," which is Greek, meaning "one that creeps into holes." Tho common wren eif Km ope, which is very like our best-known wren, has many pet names, The Iencli have Riven It more than a hundred endearing names, nnd Oermnny, Italy and other countries have done nearly as well. In the folk lore of these countries tho wren Is credit ed with being a transformed fairy, and with an amount of wisdom fnr greater than its size would indicate. Aristotle, the wise Greek, and Pliny, tho Roman naturalist, both mention the old-time fable that tbo wren disputed with the eagle the dominanco nf the feath ered world. The fable goes to the effect that the birds of the air met In n great convention nnd a resolution wns adopted to choose ns king tho one that could fly to the greatest height. The eagle spread his wing ami went aloft, snlllng higher and higher toward the sun. The members of the convention worn ready to proclaim lilm king when n burst of song was heard above his head. It was the song of triumph from the wren. Fetched on the broad shoulders of tlx eagle when the big htrel h&d spent his strength, nnd finished his flight. th little bird had flown above him, nnd so had won the title of sovereignty. The eagle, angry nt his defeat by so diminutive s. contestant, gave the wren a swlp with his wing which sent thn little one to earth, since which time it has never been able to fly higher than a thorn bush. In Scotland the wren Is called "the hen of the lady nf heaven," nnd an old couplet goes after this fashion: Malisons, malisons, malr than ton, If von harry the I.ndy of Heaven's hen. OXK THIXC. LACK!
