THE CLEVER cHlckApEE.

Called Very often the "Bird OF the
Merry Heart"
One of the most interesting and one
of the most useful of our common birds
is the sprightly titmouse, otherwise
known under the popular name of
chickadee. so called because of its pc
culiar chat: ''Chickadee-dee-dee-d
In appearance the black-capped
(crested) titmouse has the most jaunty
air conceivable; the neck and head of
glossy black, the balance of the upper
part of the body being of q peculiar
drab, while underneath it is a creamy
white or fawn. The habits of this rest
less, nervous, active little creature
make it a general favorite with all those
who have come to know it well.
The disposition of this brave little
fellow is no less remarkable than its
habits, for it seems to be cheerful I'M
der the most adverse circumstances.
No cold is so intense as to chill it's en-
thusiasm, no storm so severe as to
brighten the chickadee. Let the gale
roar never so fiercely the chickadee still
voices it's cheerful call. and continues
its work in spite of wind or weather.
LET tomorrow take care of itself"
seems to be its motto. Emerson refers
to its splendid courage in midwinter
when he writes:
Here was this atom in full breath.
Hurting defiance at vast death;
This scrap of valor, just for play
Fronts the north wind in waistcoat gray,
AS if to shame our weak behavior"
You may learn a few lessons from
the chickadee. First, never allow sur
roundings or circumstances to dampen
your ardor. If the sky is dark to-day
it may be brighter tomorrow. If dis
couragements exist, never relax your
efforts, but keep right on saving
wood"
As an insect destroyer, the chicadee
is invaluable to our agricultural inter
ests, and for this reason (if for no
other) it should never be killed or its
eggs destroyed. The chickadee is very
confiding, can be easily tanned, and
seems to be one of mans best friends.

Judge Lost His Temper.

A Washington lawyer recently APP
peared as counsel in a case before a
justice of the peace, and found it neces-
sary to make frequent objections to the
evidence the opposing counsel was at
tempting to introduce. The justice
looked first annoyed and then indig-
nant at these frequent interruptions.
Finally he could contain himself no
longer, and roared out: What kind of
a lawyer are you, anyway" Il am a
patent lawyer" replied the attorney
with dignity. "Well," retorted the JUS
tice scornfully, when the patent ex-
pires you will have hard time getting
it renewed. Go on with the caseI'

Mss Kate was sitting on a sofa one
day, when little four-year-old Kathleen
got a comb and climbed up beside her
and commenced combing her hair.
Now Miss Kate hasn't much hair, con-
sequently she wears a switch. In comb

pulled it of. The little tot was hor-

They Are Far More Difficult Than

In these days of physical culture the
fingers come in for a large share of at

childhood the fingers are plastic, and it

together the middle joints of the second

at the same time press together the
tips of the thumbs and the first or in
dex fingers, of the third or ring fingers,
and of the ''pinkies'' or little fingers.
Now try to separate first the thumbs,
then the first fingers and finally the
''pinkies," without taking apart the

best serves his purpose. The object of
the game is to surround the cat so that
she cannot move further. The cat is to
avoid this unpleasant contingency as
long as possible. No two pieces can

1.-THE idea that cats, out Of cruelty,
play with a mouse before killing it is
a mistake" said cat fanciel. Notice
what happens when cat catches a
sparrow. The bird is not played with,
but slain at once If the cat tried any
game with it, the sparrow, though
wounded, could easily fly out of reach.
A mouse cannot escape in that way, so
the cat practices upon the unfortunate
animal variety Of experiments, in
order to keep its powers as hunter up
TO the mark. That is why it gives the
mouse chances CT getting away, and the
harder the task be sets himself, the
more will his skill be improved. If he
did not take such lessons, he would
soon become . second-rate mouser"
