Why Birds are Scarce in Switzerland.

Sparrows and other small birds are
caught for food hereahnu.>, and they aie
served at our table IN what they call pollen
Ia, Il pudding of Indian meal. The rud
ding is very gnod, and has pleasant
flavor of Yankee cookery, but the poor
little birds are wanton sacrifice of Ii t,
for the flesh of ii dozen would hardly suffice
for moderate outhful. A traveller told
me that while walking over a country -
tate he observed many small traps. and on
enqulrirg of the head keeper learned that
they were for catching little birds aud that
there were - 900 Of them on the es ate,
al Of which were examined tTIce Gay
and the catch sent to market. In spue
places large nets are Used TO capture sl">e
innocents, and the deal birds find 6 read,
sale. Alter learning these .hings one dues
not wonder that birds are so seldom seen
on the wing, and ia nlso cunYienced G. at
tie birds that relnain alive and come s 0
such II country are creatures possessing II
very blind instinct and no yestise Of reason

How to be Polite.

Do not try to be too polite.-Never over
wheln your friends by begging them to
make themselves ut home, or they WIZ
soon wish they were. Show by your &c
tions rather than by you. words that you
are glad to see them. Have enough regard
for yourself to treat your greatest enemy
with quiet politeness. All petty Sights
are merely meunness, and hurt yourself
more than any one else.
Do not talk about yourself or family to
the exclusion CT other topics. What if you
are clever and little more so than other
people, it may not be that other folks will
think so, Sha,ever they ought to do.
1t may be interesting to you to talk over
your ailments, but very tiresome for others
to listen to-
Make felix's think you consider them
pleasant and agreeable, and they will be
pretty apt to havea pleasant inn preston OF
yourself.
Treat people JUS. as you would have them
treat you. -..---.---
1t is mnch easier to lose The good opin-
ion Of other people than to retain it; end
when any one does not care for the good
OF iaion of others he is not worthy Of re-
spect.
Do cot excuse the house furniture, or
the table you set before your guests. 1t is
fair TO suppose.that their visits are to you,
not to your surroundings. ~ ~
The whole machinery Of social intercourse
is very intricate, and it is our business to
keep all places of possible friction veil sup
piled with the oil of politeness.

TAE SEX OF EGGS.

1t has bceu II i,vor,;e theory with man
breeders Of 70 Wis that The sex of eggs could
be determined, end that poultry yard
could be made to show the truth of certain
rules by the number of pullets or cnckerrls
1t contained. Others have combatted the
idea, and pronounced it ridiculous in theory
aud false in practice. As many Of our
readers are just now especially interested
in this srhjuet, we give Tie following,
which are worth testing.
X. B. Edwards says in bis pamphlet;
Select only eggs pointed at the ends,
avoiding any that have tendency to round
ness Of form; also examine the position of
those that have them placed directly at the
apex Of the tlunt or large end. avoidirg all
that have them placed at all to The side.
In this way eight eggs cut Of zen will pro
duce cnckerels."
The following Is from n correspondent
Of the London Journal of HORTICULTURE;
"One Of your correspond, revives the
old question about the sex of eggs; ] send
you M experience. Last winter an old
country poultry keeper told me that he
could distinguish the sex in eggs; laugh
at him, and was none the less skeptical
when lie told me the following secret;
Eggs with the ar bladder on the center
of the crown Of the egg will produce ecker
els; those with the bladder on one side
will produce pullets. The old man was so
certain Of the truth Of this dogma, and his
poultry yard 50 far confirmed 1t, that de-
termined to make experiments upon it this
year have done 81, carefully registering
every egg bladder VERTICAL or bladder on
one side, rejecting every one in when ie
was not decidedly one or the other, As in
some it is only very slightly out of the cen.
ire. The following is the result: SIS
chickens were hatch ed three are dead, II
are yet too young To d. eide upon their sex;
Of the remaining Al every one has turned
out true to the old mans theory This, cf
course, may be an accidental coincidence,
but l shall certainly try the experiment
again. Yam now trying the same theory
upon ducks eggs
A Westchester, Pa. man gives the results
Of his experiments in the Ohio Farmer rs
follows: Last summer | matched l22
chicks from eggs selected on this principle,
10 of which were puliets; always select
eggs of medium size, believing ihem to he
the best for this purpose. then ge: a
large lanp, and take an egg in my right
hand, between the thumb and two fore
fingers, big end uppermost, and hold it as
uear to the light as possible, then lay the
little finger OF the left hand a---ss the mid
die Of tie egg. This will throw the light
in the egg; then turn it around slowly, and
you will pre- ceIve dark sIet the size CT a
thr.s-cent iece directly in the cent,e of
the large onll. or on ore side. As raise
poultry r.. eggs and for the market, of
course set only eggs for pullets, with few
for cockerels to replace the c2cks os last
wear. it y ould be we'll for an amateur TO
break few eggs, empty out the contents.
