ALrssoN IN INDUSTRY. -Thoughtless per-
sons regard birds as gay little creatures without
a care and without burden. Hearing their
cheerful songs, and seeing them flying. hither
and thither as if life were continued holiday,
it is concluded that they have nothing to 90
but to disport themselves. This is q great
mistake. This serious, sober minded little ant
which never seems to play, but to be always al
work, is taken as the pattern OF industry, apo
vet the ant is not moe dihgent and industrious
than the bright little birds that tutter AROUND
u.s. The following curious statistics aoout
small birds we're recently laid before the House
of Commons 49,
.The thrush is said to work from 2:3O IN the
morning until $50 in the evening, or Nineteen
hours. During this time ne feeds his young
oO6 times. Blackbirds work seventeen hours.
The male feeds the young A times ana tne
female SIS times per day: The industrious
titmouse manages to spread AT meals a Gay
before its voracious offspring. According 70
one naturalist, their food consists largely CT
caterpilars. These statements and hundred
more quite as curious, were made In an elo-
ouent plea for law to protect small birds from
being shared and shot. Unfortunately, al
though the speech seems to prove that they
are really the allies instead of the enemies OF
the farmer, the old prejudces against them
we're strong enough to defeat the bill
The little birds, then, not only set US an eX,
annie in the matter of industry and in provld-
ing and caring for dependents, but they show
MS how to mingle cheertulness with these sober
duties We may learn from them how to toll
and to be happy at the same time. -H'c't"fo''
