little chap without the vestige of tail.
Ihe mating and nesting ways of our birds
are not the least interesting of their charm
ing performances. Now that vacation is be-
ginning, and our City folk are fitting hill
ward and canyonward, there is a delight
ful field here for a study that will store up
fund of pleasant memories against the
season of our winters discomfort.
That quarrelsome little chap, the COM
mon English sparrow, for instance, is q
most engaging paterfamilias. Seeing him
in this capacity, one is inclined to forgive
him all his rowdyish ways and his pugna-
city for the sake of his kindly chivalry
and forbearance under very trying circum-
stances. Just above my window, all the
spring, pair of these birds have made
their home. This week the young birds
are Matched. and father sparrow has had a
hard time of it, for his better half, regret
to state, is most egregious little domestic
tyrant. She has apparent hysterical at
tacks, during which she will not let him
approach the nest. She Will pounce upon
him as he flies homeward; and, at times,
seems to find serious fault with him as
provider. Once | saw her actually compel
him to drop the nice fat little bug he had
brought and fly away, while she followed,
scolding like veritable virago and max
ing feints at him in the air. But l have
never seen him show any resentment of
her conduct. Sometimes he will retire
around the corner of the house, where he
will sit, holding his crumb or bug, until
she has flown off. when he will appear, de-
posit the morsef in one of the uplifted
beaks and depart in search of another
mouthful. Sometimes he squats upon the
ground with a queer, deprecating little
hunch of the shoulders and waits until
she has said her say and graciously per-
mits him to advance and feed their vocifer-
ating offspring; but never, even when she
has dealt him half dozen vigorous pecks
with her sharp bill has be shown any dis
position to retaliate or administer the
chastisement he might be justified ii
thinking she merited.
Another dear little house-father is the
so-called California canary. In a bush,
just in front of my window, pair of these
have built a round, compact, soft little
nest. The little hen has just finished Law
ing her complement of eggs and has Just
begun to set. Nothing could be prettier
than the attention paid her by her devoted
little mate. He hovers about the bush.

trated attention that takes the place of the

The congenital mute can be taught to

be turned out fluent conversationalist.
This is not the age of miracles, though
the fact that child who has never heard
a sound can be taught to make his needs
known by plainly spoken words and can
read the motions of another's lips ap-
proaches as near the miraculous as we
usually get. The semi-mute, one who was
once able to talk and who has lost the
power tn rough becoming deaf, is able to

converse much more fuently than the

for his brain has had impressions of

Nerves are weak, many people say,
and yet they do not seem to know
that they are literally starving their
nerves. Weak, pale, thin blood can
not give proper sustenance that is
why you are nervous, tired, exhausted.
The cure for this condition is to
purify, vitalize and enrich your blood.
Take Hoods Sarsaparilla fairly and
faithfully, and the rich, red blood,
which il makes, will soon feed the
nerves the elements of true strength
they require; they will cease their agi-
tation and will resume their proper
place being under the control in
stead of controlling the brain and
body. Read Miss Bartley's letter:
