BIRDS IN TIERS.
The Amusing Antics of cagefun of Song

The Amusing Antics of Casefull OF Song
sters.
Three tiers Of brilliantly colored lit
tie birds was one of the many pretty
sights often saw in the bird-markei
in Paris. To tighten his burden, the
owner Of these pretty songsters had
placed a great many Of them n one
cage. The cage had but single
perch-a long one, to be sure, yet al
best it could hold only one third of the
birds As you may suppose, all places
on this perch were always in great de-
mand, and usually its whole length was
fully occupied by the tiny warblers,
crowded together in jolly companion
ship. Flying about the cage in all
directions were those not fortunate
enough to secure seats" and their
antics in endeavoring to find a resting
place were very pretty and clever.
Alightihg on the seated ones, they
would wedge their tiny feet between
two Of them in an attempt to reach the
perch; and sometimes they succeeded;
but more often a second tier of birds
was started by the new corners coolly
getting upon the backs of the first a
slight disturbance of the center OF
gravity, however, and all would come
tumbling down. Then there would be
q great commotion and perfect medley
of color, as the birds rushed again, pell-
nell, for the coveted places. Presently
quiet would be restored, and the two
tiers of birds again successfully com
pleted.
But there were still others flying
about or hopping around on the bottom
of the cage, who also expected to get
resting-places To perch on top of the
second tier was indeed very pretty and
a very difficult performance, as there
was considera BILE webbing in the lower
tiers, even at the hghtest touch of a
lowering bird. Finally, with dainty
wings and feet outstretched in slow de-
scent, a bright little acrobat would
start the third tier. But alas! the next
bird might prove a careless little fellow,
end would upset them all.
However, in spite of accidents and
carelessness, the third tier was often
finished, and sometimes it lasted even
several minutes before it was demol-
ished. But when the pyramid was COM
pleted, usually some hungry little chap
in the first story, spying dainty morsel
living on the bottom of the cage, would
withdraw his support, to the disaster
and confusion Of the crowd.
Thus it went on, all day long-inces-
SAINT change of place and form and col
or. Happily through it all the little
acrobats were as merry as birds could
be, pouring out their liquid music into
the golden sunshine, joyou5ly twisting
and shaking their bright little heads

Citizens.

The Military Service 1t Requires of Its
Citizens.
The imperial ministry of war forms
the supreme nucleus of the whole mill
tapy power of the monarchy. It is d.
vided into four sections, comprising If
teen departments, in which are united
the many branches of the personnel of
The organization, disposition of troops,
administration, the affairs of justice,
health, debt, etc. The naval section,
with its two departments for business,
forms an independent part of the i'm
perial ministry of war. There is also in
each of the two parts of the empire a
ministry of national defense, to which
the affairs of tho landwehr and land
sturm are submitted. The landwehren
of the single parts of the empire form
bodies constitutionally separated from
each other. Since the new defensive
laws of 1889, the army of tirst-class, as
we'll as the imperial and royal land
wehr, is Internationally subject to the
commands of the kaiser, and relatively
30 those of the imperial minister of war.
But the restriction upon the employ
ment of the royal Hungarian landwehr
abroad or in other parts of the empire
has been fixed by the decision of the
representative bodies, though it may be
employed without the leave of these
bodies if there is danger in delay.
The language of the service is Ger
man, excepting in the Hungarian land
wehr, where the Hungarian and Croat-
ian dialects prevail
The military system is based upon
the required service Of every man for
twentv-four years after reaching his
majority. The regular required service
is as follows:
First. In the first class. ten years
for the army and its Ersatz reserve
(substitste reservel, that is, three years
in line and seven in reserve; ten years
in thefErsatz reserve for those directly
appointed TO the same; twelve years
for the armed forces of Bosnia and
Herzegovina, that is, three years in line
and nine in reserve; twelve years for
the marine, that is, four years in line,
five in reserve, and three in marine de-
fence.
Second. In the second class Gland
wenrl. two years after completion of re-
quired service in the standing army, or
twelve for those directly appointed to
the landwehr or its Ersatz reserve.
Third. In the third class landsturml,
three years before entering upon the
age for required service, nine years for
ali who had left the marine and the
1andRvehr, twenty-one years for all who
have been appointed directly to the
