The young knows how to nourish itself
from birth. When it breaks the shell
1T throws off the leaves that cover it,
mounts the crest of it's birthplace, dries
its wings (for it is fnll-hcdged), gives a
few flaps, and having cast a disturbed

flight into the atmosphere and quits its
cradle forever.
Another Australian bird, the talegalla
or bush turkey, whose appearance is
similar to the common turkey though
somewhat smaller, builds nest equal

is collected by grasping the grass with
one foot and hopping along on the other

the prospective domicile, where it de-
posts the grass, until after many

Matched. TO purloin the egg from this
singular receptacle it is necessary to en-
gage in regular battle, not only with
the female, but also her devoted mate,
who at the first alarm rushcs to the
spot and fights SO furiously that success
for the aggressor can only be secured
when the noble bird sinks dead or dis

which wise nature has endowed her

development is everywhere present in

come rushing i'll every five minutes ask

quietly smoke his cigar and ignore the
foreman until he became ready to go to
work, and then he would prepare his
editorial matter quite rapidly. | was

the golden rule in cold weather is to
keep the cXtrcmitics warm. The first
and most important rule for the carry

prevent the free circulation of the blood
by pressure; but when, on the contrary,
they do not embrace the foot too firmly,
the space left between the shoe and the
stocking has good supply OF warm air
The second rule is never to sit i'll damp

shoes arc positively wet it is unncccs-
sary to change them while the feet are

when the least dampncss is absorbed
into the sole in its evaporation it alb
serbs the heat from the foot and thus
pcrspiration is dangerously checked.
This can easily be proved by trying the
experiment of ncglecting the rule The
