The Lyre Bird.

One of natures singular and beautiful
freaks is found embodied in the Tyre bird,
an inhabitant of the mc 1ntains of Aus
tralin. 1t seems strange enough to find
this large bird classed with the wren
family, those tiny warblers of English
h~edgerows, but science pronounces them
ofsimilar construction, however different
in appearance. The name Of Tyre bird
has been bestowed IN account of the re-
semblance of the tail feathers ofthe male
to an ancient Tyre, but the natives of Aus
traila call it buGlen buLen, in imitation Of
its wild, shrill cry. The color ofits plum
age is rich rather than brilliant. Mostly
of a dark brownish gray, it is frightened
by red on the throat and the short feath-
ers at the base of the tail.
It's very shy in its habits, choosing
haunts among the thicklv-wooded cliffs
which are almost inaccessible to the most
daring hunter. Its nest Is generally plac-
ed in the crotch of some tree very near
the ground, as it is not a bird of lofty
flight, and loves best to hide among the
low underground of the forest. Its nest
is roughly built of sticks and leaves, of a
round form, with the entrance on n
side, and seen from Il little distance re-
sembles a heap of forest rubbish tumbled
together by chance; but, inside, nothing
could exceed the softness and delicacy
of the feather lining supplied by the
mother bird. In this downy nestshe de-
posts one single egg of ashy gray spotted
with brown. AS she only nests nee a
year, 1t is natural these birds should not
be very They are generally
found in isolated pairs, and the male
jealously resents any Infringement upon
his domain, fighting with good will any
other sutton that may dare to cast eyes
on his lady. This jealousy is often made
use of by the natives to entrap the bird.
They fasten a tail from some captured
bird upon the head, and conceal them
selves in the bushes, more sufficiently to
give a natural swaying motion to the
feathers. When the male sees the APP
pearance of n supposed rival, he advan-
ces, furious for battle, and falls an cosy
prey to the hunter.
The Tyre bird might properly be called
the Australian hooking 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
llaunts. On holidays, when the mill
was stopped and all was still, from ont the
wild, unbroken forests 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 allkind of birds, and at inter
walls the sharp, shrill btilen-buucH, which
betrayed the Tyre bird as the initiative
singer. Efforts have been made to raise
the young Of the Tyre bird, but they in
variably droop and die after n few
months of captivity.

Gen. George Barstow gave good advice
in u speech on the subject of Home"
He said every man should own his home,
If he can. That philosophy which tells
q mar to drift over the uncertain life
without a home is like Il ship out in the
sea, at the hazard of the storm. A man
who owns his home is like a ship that
has arrived in port, and is moored in
safe harbor. One man should be no
more content to live in n house that is
not his own, if lac can build one, than
one bird should take the risk of hatch
ing in another ones nest and, for my
own part, l would rather be able to own
u cottage than hire II palace. l would
say to every man, buy n home if you
can, and own it. If a windfall has come
to you, buy a home. Do not let anybody
tempt you TO put all your earnings back
into the pool. Take out enough to buy
n home, and buy it. Put the rest back
If you will gamble on it if you must;
but buy the home first. Buy it, and sell
ii not. Then the roses that bloom there
are yours; the clematis and jasmine
that climb upon the porch belong to you.
You have planted them, and seen them
grow. When you are at work upon them,
you are working for others. If there are
children, there are flowers within the
house and without. Buy n home.
