FIIiaI Devotion Of q sIrd.

We have a saying that charity begins
at home, and 1t has been added that
great deal Of the charity that begins
at home stays there. OF this narrow
sort Of bcncvolence. too, we find ex-
amples among the animals. There Is
the barbet, for instance. II Is a soli-
tary bird, and sits most Of the time in
morose silence on twig. waiting for
its food lin the shape Of an insect) 70
fly by. Sometimes II Is said 10 rouse
itself and make descent upon the
nest Of some smaller bird, and eat all
the little ones.
The celebrated naturalist, Leyaillant,
who has told us 50 many interesting
things about the birds Of Africa and
South America. says that he discoy-
cred barbet's nest in which there
were five birds. -Four Of them were
young and vigorous, but the fifth was
50 old and weak that when it was put
into a cage with its comrades it could
not move, but lay dying in the corner
where it had been placed.
When food was put into the cage.
the poor old bird could only look at Il
longiugly, without having the strength
20 drag itself within reach OF IT, Then
1t was that one Of the younger birds
manifested singular spirit Of kind
ness. Quickly, and even with an air
Of tenderness. AS it seems, they carried
food to the decrepit old bird, and fed
it As If IT had been only fledgling.
There are several different species of
barbets found in Africa and South
America, and though not graceful in
shape, many Of them are exceedingly
beautiful in plumage They get their
name Of harbot from the French word
jaTJe meaning beard, because they
have tufts Of stiff hair ut the base of
the bill Na,uralists place them in a
genus called Buooo. and some persons
call them puff-brds. because they have
an odd way Of putting ont the feathers
all over the bOJy. which then looks
more like bale Of feathers than
bird.--St NichDlas

Is seldom that the boy makes q mis-.
take The hunter leaps on the fresh
horse and gains on the bird, which.
growing tired, goes more and more
awkwardly. The hunter has only,
when he catches It, 10 rap IL on the
head with his hunting whip and the
chase is over. There are really only
two kinds Of ostrichcs, the North Afri-
can and South African birds. The
males are black and the females drab.
All are Of one color, drab, until after
they are two years old
One of the most singular features is

Although there is great deal Of
chaling against the corrals in case Of

the birds are Of value. does not seem
10 suffer much. All Of the flock ap-
pear to be in fine feather. The plum
age is soft silky clean, and glossy as
1t grows, and is all ready for market.
Speaking Of the relative value Of the
birds, Dr. Sketchlcy said that. while
one might yield more feathers or prove
better breeder, he averaged them
The value is determined mainly by
breeding qualities. The ostrich is con
sidered chicken until it is II months
old. feather bird only until about -
years old, and at 1 year, 1t should
breed. The most valuable breeding
birds are called guarantee birds, -
from Che discovery that their eggs will
hatch. The average life j. supposed
10 be about 100 years among long-liyed
birds. These birds are now between :
and . years old should they live and

southern California may yet contain

And simple pleasures that always pleassI

With sympathies large enough TO enfold
AL mon az brothers, is better than gold.
Better than gold is a conscience clear,
Though toiling for bread in an humble sphere,
Doubly blessed with content and health,
Untitled by the lusts and cares oi wealth,
Lowly living and lofty thought
Adorn aud ennoble poor mans cot,
For mind and morals in natures plan
Are tho genuine tcsts OF a gentleman.
Better than gold is tho sweet repose
or the sons of toll whom the labors close,
Better than gold is tho poor mans sleep,
And the balm that drops on his slumbers deep
Bring sleeping draughts on the downy bed,
Where luxury pillows its aching head,
Tho toiler simple opiate deems
A shorter route to tho land of dreams.
Better than gold IL thinking mind.

A treasure surprising Australian ore,
And live with the great aud good of yore,
The sagc's lore and the poets lay,
The glones Of empires passed away
The worlds great dream will thus unfold
And yield pleasure better than gold.
Better than gold is peaceful home
Where all the fircsidn characters come,
Tho shrine of love, the heaven OF life.
Hallowed by mother. or sister, or vile.
However humble the home may I've.
Or tried with sorrow by heavens decree,
The blessings that never were bought or sold

but she had never had any practical
experience before. And now, up in
these wild woods, the helm of domestic
affairs was Unexpectedly placed in her
hands. and hers alone.
She liked the woods and the river;
the meadows all starred with daisies;
and the long, low farmhouse with its
rel brick chimney stacks; its trellises
all bending with the weight Of vines
the old stone walled garden, whore
ripening currants hung like ruby
Fingers. and the green gooseberrics
seemed to absorb the very sweetness OF

hearts.

"Oh. I'll take carel" said Dotty, with
the reckless audacity Of ignorance.
Everything shall be quite -- quite

And after the old lady had departed,
with many misgiYings. Dotty drew a
long breath of rapture, and executed
an impromptu dance in the middle Of
