Bird Artists,

That there Is u consciousness of beauty
on the part of birds is plainly shown by
the manner in which many of them deco
rate their nests and surroundings, and in
somo instances themselves, notes writer
In Lippincott's Magazine. Perhaps 1t may
not DO too much to claim that all birds are
moved by an artistic sentiment, and that.
while most OF them are artistic in effect,
many are artistic in both intention nnd
effeot. Tho appreciation of what Is beau
tiful Is distinctly marked characteristic
of most members of the feathered family.
and 1T is only natural that the desire and
ability to create beauty are found in vari-
GUS degrees of development among them.
1t is only step from desire of beauty to
an effort to produce 1t, but tho effort nnd
accomplishment occasionally bring about
strange results In birds as we'll as in man.
Striking examples of this bizarre form
OF decoration arc found in the motmot.
which dishgurcs its long tail feathers in
an effort ut Improvement, and in tho
hammerhead and gardener bird, which de-
light in surrounding their homes With all
sorts Of bright colored shells, pebbles and
feathers.
Sometimes tho exhibition of artistic feel
ing is carried so far ms to confound belief.
Wore 1t not for tho corroborative testimony
of scientific travellers, VIC might we'll doubt
the tales that come to us of the baya Of
farther India, of tho gardener bird, the
collar bird and the half dozen other birds
whose strangely developed decorative in
stinots command our admiration and won

OLD TIME BURIALS.
When New England Rum Was Ever Pres.
ont at New England Funerals

Americans awakened moro quickly than
the English people to tho follies of a bur
densomo and expensive funeral, and in
1871 Judge Sewall noted the first public
funeral without scarfs' in Boston. In
l74l tho provincial court of Massachusetts
enacted that 'no scarves or gloves, exccpt
six pair to the bearers and ono pair to cnch
minister of the church or congregation
where any deceased person belongs, no
wine, rum or rings be allowed to be given
ut any funeral upon tho ponalty of $50"
The law must have been doad letter, but
1t certainly had its influence in curtailing
expenses, AS various newspaper notices
show. Still, this century New England
funeral was pompous affair, and it must
be confessed far from boing in all respects
gloomy affair. Hawthorne SAYS:
Look back through all the social cus-
toms of New England In tho first century
OF her existence and read all her traits OF
character and find ono occasion other than
funeral feast where jollity was sane
toned by universal practice"
New England rum was ever present Mt "A
New England funeral to solace and to cheer
bercavod mourners. All drank before tho
procession to tho grave, and many drank
after. Nearly all the itemizcd funeral bills
l have seen until this century were largo
in items of rum, whisky, lemons, loaf sug-
ar and spices. Spiccd cider was IL favor
lite drink mt II funeral. When beloved
minister CHANGED to die, his church or
moro often the town outdid itself in liber-
al liquid provision for tho funeral. Nor
wero town paupcrs forgot in death A
barrel OF cider or two or three gallons of
rum wore supplied by the town as the final
item of expense for tho town poor"
Judge Sewall spoke of visit to his fam
lily tomb as an lawful yet pleasing treat. :"
Not less plainly do tho entries in his diary
show that evory funeral he ATTENDED was
To him treat-a great social excitcment

tween the precious or the vile '-Chicago
