the new pArlor carpet. is the plea for securing
divorces in = large number of our States. Too
many look upon marriage as civil contract
only. to be entered or declared invalid ut will.
The marriage contract is made in heaven,
and man has not the power to annul it at will.
As to the divorced party marrying again. here
are the words of Christ: whatsoever putteth
away his wife and marrieth again committeth
adultery" Remarriage of the divorced is in
direct opposition to the teachings Of our Savior,
a reputation of the commands of God.-Lco.

tween this goose and the Gray-Lag. In size
it is between the common goose and the
swan; pairs average about 80 pounds. They
are very prolific; more so than any other
variety of their family. They lay about 80
eggs before desiring to sit, and sometimes
lay three or four htters in one season. Their
eggs are about two-thirds the size of those
of the common goose. The color of their
plumage is a grayish-brown on the back and
upper parts, passing to white or whitish- gray
on the abdomen; forepart of the neck and
breast yellowish-gray, and very dark
brown stripe running down the entire back
of the neck from the head to the back The
white variety is pure white throughout.
Pin Feathers.
Ducks lay about $50 eggs each in year
on an average, which exceeds the average of
hens. They also lay more regularly, and
produce their quota in shorter time than
hens.
Be sure that your hens lay no soft-she1led
eggs. Keep the birds healthy with good
wholesome food and provide lime in some
form always within their reach.
Don't take soiled eggs to market. It Is
very little trouble to wash them; and,
then, dirty eggs become tainted and unheal-
thy. The microscope will show you that
the shell is full of small holes. The odors
from the dirt on the shell OF from foul air
may permeate these and faint the egg.
1t is good plan to have house for the
young pullets to move into as soon as they
leave the age of little chiekendom. This
should be well removed from the house the
grown hens occupy, but it does not need to
be high. The only roof that pays is shin

Gorgeou s Creatures that Snooze Hanging BY
Their Bills.
BIZ PROF. II. W. ELLIOTT.

These queer birds that sleep by hanging
themselves up inside of hollow trees, which
open at the top, are Carolina paroquets
(Conurus carolinensis). They are pretty lit
tie parrots, with green bodies and yellow
necks and heads. They are the only par
rots that we have in North America; and,
what makes it still more interesting. we
shall not have them much longer They
have been so ruthlessly hunted during the
last 80 or 60 years as to be we'll nigh exter-
minated to-day.
This paroquet is the only bird in this
country that we know of that hangs itself
up to sleep by hooking its strong bill to the
rough inner wall of big tree cavity, open
at the top. This suspension during sleep is
also aided by it's feet. Sometimes these
large, open cavities, such as the one we fig
ure, in a giant sycamore or red-oak tree
trunk, will shelter a hundred sleeping Caro-
lima paroquets.
These birds used to range from Maryland,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michi-
gan, and Nebraska down to Florida and the
Gulf in flocks of hundreds and thousands.
To-day they are virtually restricted to the
least accessible portions of southern Florida
and some limited areas in the sparsely-set-
tied section of the Indian Territory, and
their numbers are scant and rare.
They were and are too fond of Indian
corn when in the milk, and of oranges and
bananas, for our farmers and fruit growers
to tolerate them; SO they have been merci-
lessly shot and trapped as fast as the country
settled up.
In spite of that queer fashion of sleeping
or roasting possessed by this paroqust, yet
it builds it's breeding nests in fiimsy struct-
ures Of twigs and moss, which are placed
on the outer forks of cypress limbs and
branches.
Utterly misled by this popularity of nest
selection as coutrasted with the habit OF
roosting in the open hollows of the trunks,
naturalists hunted long in vain to find the
eggs of the paroquet It became fairly mys-
ferrous to them until the location was acct
dentally divulged.
When feeding these birds make an inees-
SAINT noise; but when they retire into the
green depths of the forest tree-tops they be-
come silent and invisible. Therefore, as
they invariably went out to forage in large
hocks, the great noise and SNOWY plumags Of
these teathered pillagers in a farmers corn,
or IN his orchard, never failed to arouse the
owner Naturally aroused at the sight and
effect, the farmer seldom missed the chance
to use his gun on the flock, with great effect.
lie generally got them all, because, ii one
was slightly wounded and disabled so rs to
be unable to fly, its cries would keep the
entire flock around it until the last one was
shot down.
