Do Birds Bury Their Dead?

\ correspondent of the Chicago Tribune
writes from Battle Creek the following:
While strelling through the woods al
GoguT Lake suddenly came across half a
thrush or hooking bird. They were all
busy working at some object on the ground,
and did not notice my intruding till was
upon them, when, with a shrill cry, they
flew off short distance and perched on the
trees to watch my movements. Having my
curiosity aroused, l went to examine what
supposed was nest of Young birds, when
to my surprise found the dead body of a
thrush, which had been killed by Il shot
from some hunters gun, and had fallen
where it lay. The birds which noticed
about it had been covering it over with
leaves, sticks, little tufts of grass, etc, till
only it's feet stuck out. Immediately the
story of the Babes in the Wood" covered
with leaves by robins, came to my mind,
and all seemed as real as the time when in
childhood read the story and believed it TO
he true.
Anxious to see what the birds would do,
stepped back of large tree to a little dis
lance and watched them. Slowly the birds
came back, one by one, and continued the
work of burying the dead bird. While en-
gagged hopping about after leaves and grass
they would chirp in a low, melancholy key,
what took to be the dirge notes of the lit
tie birds funeral. did not have it in my
heart to disturb them, and watched them
f1,air lon fill hole I,a
pletely buried.
This in some way answers the questions
so many times asked: "What becomes of
all the birds" Do they ever die? And do
their mates bury them ?" l have no doubt
but that the various species Of birds thus
dispose Of their dead.

melodies of Tom Moore, also "Gayly

sea songs Of Constitution and Guer-

MILK DIET.

is fact, however, that in some case,
milk is not well tolerated by the system.

a heavy, indigestible mass. For this
reason kind of milk wine. made by tie
fermentation of milk after the addition
of small quantity of sugar, mas been
found very valuable in the treatment 81

as "koumiss, and its nutritivo value
should be more widely Known. As o,>i'.
narily sold it is quite an expensive arti-
Gle of diet, but it can easily prepared al
home by the following process. which

which will be the case i'll eighteen t"
twcnty-four houas under favorable con

and placed in the cellar for week or
two, when the product is ready for use.
The fermentation develops small qnan-

koumiss is that the caseinc, instead 81
being coagulated in large Jumps, more or
less difficult to digest, is separated III a
very finely divided condition, SO that it
can be readily assimilated by the weak
est stomach. A similar preparation, mado
from mare milk by the Tartars, has long
been justly celebrated for its nutritive
qualities, and il has been of much va.Q,
in cases of consumption. Cows milk,
however, affords an excellent substitute
Those whe desire a milk diet, ana who
cannot use the article in the ordinary
way, would do we'll to adopt the sugges
ton of Dr. J. d. Trask, who states that
warm milk can be taken without discom-
fort when cold milk cannot be borne.
He thinks We should regard milk more
as an article Of food than as beverage.
