CARRYING THEIR YOUNG.
How woodcooks Garry Their Offspring
from Ono Place to- Another.

How Woodcooks Garry Their Offspring
from Ono Place to Another.
One of tho most interesting traits
about the woodcock is the fact Of its oc-
casionally conveying it's young through
the air, which is done by only one or
two other birds. This is no recent dis
covery. The fact was known as carly as
tho middle of last century, though Gil
bert White rightly surmised that those
observers were mistaken who fancied
the young were conveyed either by or
in the bill. 1t is just as erroneous,
however, to substitute the claws, as
some have done. The truth is that,
when the parent bird wishes to convey
her young one from a place of danger
to one Of safety, the tiny thing is gently
pressed between the feet and against
the breast, the aid Of the bill being re-
sorted to only when the burden has been
hastily taken up. In this way the whole
of the brood is sometimes removed from
one part Of a wood to another when the
birds have been much disturbed. On
this subject there IS an interesting note
In Lays of the Deer Forest" by the
brothers Stuart: Zone morning sitting
on gray stone, saw dark eye which
was fixed upon mine from the bed Of
leaves before me, when suddenly the
little brown head of q young woodcock
peeped out from the feathers of the old
ones breast, tutoring that plaintiye CRY
for which language has no sigu. There
were two more young woodcockS, and to
relieve the anxiety of the na0dre, left
her. Near the place where found her
there was soft, green strip, such as
woodcocks love. I had no doubt that
the family would be there next day; and
rs passed near I turned aside to sec
what they were doing. Upon dry bank
half way down the brae, almost STUN
bled over bird, which rose at my feet;
and as it darted through the trees saw
that it had something in its claws, and
at the same time heard the plaintive
cry Of young woodcocks just under my
feet. looked down-there were two;
and thought . hawk had carried of
the third, and perhaps killed the mothor.
This, however, found on following the
bird, was the old woodcock, which, being,
flushed again suddenly, after low flight.
OF only few yards dropped what it was
carrying-her own young woodcock."
This trait may be. confirmed by any ono
who will look out the bird in its
hauRts, and is all the more interesting
as it seems to be an acquired one. The
bird is in no way adapted to transport
its young through the aiR.-The Gentle
mans Magazine.

SOUTHERN CHILDREN.

Children In the South were taught re-

Disrespectful language to elderly per-
sonsa or, as the negroes said, "sassin' Nv
old pussonst" was punished more seveYe-
ly than almost any other juvenile Of

say 'yes'm," ''no, ma'sm," or "yes, sir"

Sonthern-bred person 30 unpleasantly as
tho freedom with which the children
say ''yes," mo" and what" to their
eldefs-thOugh 1 know it 10 quite the
custom to ridicule the addition Of "sir"
or ''ma am" as old-fashioned and rural.
The young children called the older
ones brother and SISTER" as a term
Of respect. A young lady was always
called "miss" by her child acquafnt-
sness-"Miss Annie" Miss Sallie,"
not miss Brown" or "Miss Smith"
She was addressed 30 by her gentlemen

gagement or the closest intimacy, iusti-
