The history OF queer statue and q
pretty legend connected with it is thus
related in the Baltimore American:
Among the fountains OF Brussels
there is none that commands such at
tention from the stranger as this diminu-
tive figure, and there is none that is
held in such reverence by the people OF
Brussels. It is droll curiosity, while
at the same time it is a true picture of
innocence and nature. He stands upon
his pedestal, showing by his counte-
nance that he is conscious of the fact that
he is surrounded by spectators. and that
some Of them glance at him from be-
hind their fans. It is the figure of
hearty and robust little boy, about six
years Of age, standing ON a pedestal
over q half circle basin, and as he has
been frequently stolen or defaced, an
ornamental iron railing incloses both
the basin and the statue. But LIE Man.
nequin is an historical character, and
he has stood for four hundred years in
his present position. The first statue
was in stone, but two hundred and sixty
years ago it was replaced by the present
bronze figure by Dnquesnoy. There
are various legends in connection with
it, the best accepted of which is that
the son Of distinguished man had
been lost for some time, having strayed
away. This part of Brussels was then
thicket, and it was on the spot on
which the fountain was subsequently
erected by his father that he was found,
after diligent search, just in the posi-.
ton and in the act VIII Oh the statue
represents. In gratitude for his recov-
cry, the fountain was erected, and has
stood during all the vicissitudes of war
and changes of government. 1t has
been from time immer orial an object
Of popular affection. On holidays it
has always been the custom of La Man
nequiu to wear costume, and IN officer
is regularly appointed and paid by the
City Council of Brussels, whose duty 1t
is to dress him on these occasions and
to keep him in repair and in running
order. When Louis XIV. captured
Brussels in 1747 he wore a large white
cockade on his hat In 1889 he was
dressed out in color4 Of the Barbangon
revolutionists, and the empire girded
him with the French tri.color under
Napoleon. The Dutch Governmental i'm.
posed the orange colors upon him. The
days of September beheld him dressed
in a blouse, and under the present reign,
on grand occasions, he proudly wears
the tunic OF the civic guard. This lit
tie inanimate figure has been the object
of several requests, from which some
idea Of the sentiment of the people Of
Rr,,ooo1o in, rn1ntinn t,, hin, lA
judged. The object OF these requests
was to furnish fund, not only to fur
nish him with dresses for fetes, but
also to keep the fountain in good order,
and repair and renew it when necessary.

The Tyre Bird.

One of natures singular and beauti-
Tyre bird, an inhabitant of the noun.
tains of Australia. It seems strange
enough to find this large bird classed
with the wren family, those tiny war
blers of English hedge-rows, but sci
ence pronounces them of similar con.
struction, however different in appear
ance. The name of Tyre bird has been
bestowed on account OF the resem-
blance of tho tail feathers Of the male
to an ancient Tyre, but the natives of
Australia call it bullen bu!len, in imita-
ton of its wild, shrill cry. The color
of its plumage is rich rather than brill
liant. Mostly of dark brownish
gray, it is frightened by red on the
throat and the short feathers at the
base Of the tail.
1t is very shy in its habits, choosing
Launts among the thickly-wooded cliffs
which are almost inaccessible to the
most daring hunter. Its nest is gener-
ally placed in the crotch of some tree
very near the ground, as it is not bird
Of lofty flight, and loves best to hide
among the low underground OF the
forest. It's nest is roughly built OF
sticks and leaves, Of around form, with
the entrance on one side, and seen from
little distance resembles q heap OF
forest rubbish tumbled together by
chance; but, inside, nothing could ex-
coed the softness and delicacy of the
feather lining supplied by the mother
bird. In this downy nest she deposits
os- D1A Of oul,xy cnnftaH
with brown. As she only nests once
year, it is natural that these birds should
not be very numerous. They are gen.
orally found in isolated pairs, and the
male jealousy resents any infringe
ment upon his domain, fighting with a
good will any other suitor that may dare
to cast eyes on his lady. This Jealousy
is often made use of by the natives to
entrap the bird. They :asten a tail
from some captured bird upon the
head, and conceal themselves in the
bushes, more sufficiently to give a nat
ural swaying motion to the feathers.
When the male sees the appearance of
supposed rival, he advances, furious
for battle. and falls an easy prey to the
hunter.
The Tyre bird might properly be
called the Australian mocking bird,
for besides its own peculiar note, it
initiates the song of other birds, and
even human voices. A saw.mill was at
one time situated among the Australian
mountains where these birds were
known to have their haunts. On holi-
days, when the mill was stopped and all
was still, from ont the wild, unbroken
forest came sounds of human laughter
and singing. barking of dogs, even an
imitation of the rough. rasping noise
of the saw, mingled with notes Of all
kinds of birds, and at intervals the sharp,
shrill bu!len-bullen, which betrayed the
Tyre bird as the initiative singer. Eff
forts have been made to raise the young
of the Tyre bird. but they invariably
droop and die after few months of
captiyity.
