BIRDS AS SURGEONS.
The Snipe Displays Wonderful Sur

ages to Its Body.

Some interesting observations made
by NJ. Fatio on the surgical treatment
of wounds by birds were recently
brought before the Physical society of
Geneva. In these 1T was established
that the snipe had often been observed
in repairing damages. With it's beak
and feathers it makes very credita-
BILE dressing, and has even been known
to secure broken limb by means of a
stout ligature. On one occasion M.
Fatio killed a snipe which had on it's
chest large dressing composed of
down from other parts of the body
and securely fixed to the body by
coagulated blood. Twice he had shot
snipe with interviewer feathers
strapped on to the side of fracture
of one or other limb. The most inter
esting example was that of snipe both
of whose legs he had unfortunately
broken by misdirected shot. He only
recovered il on the following day,
when he found that the wounded bird
had contrived to apply dressings and a
sort of splint to both limbs. In carry
ing out this operation some feathers
had become entangled about the heak,
and, not being able to use its CLAWS to
get rid of them. the poor creature was
almost dead from hunger when found

he was gentlemanly.
He picked up the book which had

placed it on the table, and he waited
quietly for his turn, instead of pushing
and erowding, showing that he was

wrote his name noticed that his finger
nails were clean.

THE CAPTAINS SPEECH.
Il Was Interestingly Brief and De-
cidedly to the Point, But Unsat-
fsfactory to the Orator.

One of the volunteer companies recently
at Camp Alger possesses beautiful new
Tag, which was made and presented by q
number OF patriotic women In the Pennsyl-
vania town from which the company comes.
1t was presented just before the company
marched away-or steamed away, to be &C.
curate-and the presentation was the occa-
sion OF much ceremony The company was
drawn up in a long line-"company front"
1 believe, is the military term Tor it-and a
very charming young lady read a very
charming and somewhat lengthy address,
which contained great deal OF fowery lam
guage.. The captain was lit" then, and had
to reply. de is not an eloquent man at any
time, and he is extremely shy; but he had
written out graceful speech of accept
anee, and he stepped forward confidently
and received the banner.
Ladies'" he began, in q Fourth of July
voice, Ladies, we will accept this flag. La
dies, we've will accept this flag" Here
his color forsook him. He had forgotten the
best of his speech. One trembling hand
sought the pocket of his blouse. The manu-
script was gone.
Ladies'. he began again, desperately,
with a gulping kind of gasp, Ladies, we
will accept this flag, and, and, and thanks
awfuly for it, doa't you know"
And after all, | dare say the impromptu
was quite as effective as the address he
had prepared, but the captain doesn't like
to talk about Washington Post.

spoke of his food as "dinr

spoke of his food as dinner" whenever
l gave it to him, and having heard it so
called, he cannot be induced to change
the phrase to breakfast" or supper"
Sometimes before covering him at
night / say: kiss your mother good
night-here," presenting my lips and
smacking them; at which lie will side
to the bars of his cage and very gently
touch my lips with his open bill.
Only once he, ike the monkey that
married the baboon's sister, kissed SO
hard that he raised blister" scolded
him severely for his rudeness, and he
seemed to understand. If do not kiss
him ood-night he is sure TO say: kiss
your mother good-night-here," smack
ing his bill. He never says: kiss me
| goodnight"
Tim has never known the common
place name of Polly" and he has
never been asked by me if he wanted
cracker. / have always been alert
TO check any visitor who was about to
ask the old question: docs Polly want
cracker?" With the same caution /
have checked the "Howdy do, Polly?"
by requesting the visitor to say:
"Howdy do, Tim?''
Tim seemed to have noted my wish
to exclude Polly" from his list OF
words. One day lady called, and, on
discovering the bird, exclaimed: why,
howdy do, Polly?" He Immediately
corrected her by replying: Say
howdy do, Tim?"
So much by way of illustrating the
fact that a parrot knows how to apply
intelligently the phrases that he ac-
quires in mimicry. In the few further
examples that l shall give of Tins
talking, let it be understood that he re.
peats only what he has heard. but the
reader will notice his tact in applying
his remarks, as if he knew their mean
ing.
Frequently, when my husband is leav
ing for the city, Tim calls after him,
Good-by, John!" 1t need hardly be ex
planned how the bird learned thai
phrase.
In some ways he knows when we ar,
eating at table, perhaps from having
occasionally been in the dining-roon
at meal time, and from noting the tabl,
noises made by knife and fork, cul
and saucer, etc. He often calls out a
such time, wherever he may be: "Wha
are you eating? Is it good?"
We have Scotch-Irish terrier named
"Jack," and huge jet black cat named
TONY" who often engage in friend
ly tussle. Sometimes, when Jack ha
been too rough for Tony, / have en-
couraged the cat by saying: "Whil
him, Tony! whip him!" AS the cat ant
dog are almost hourly at their play o
racing and wrestling, 1t is a common
thing to hear Tim, who may either Sc
or only hear them, shouting: "Whil
him, Tony! whip him! whip him!"

NO WOMAN is EXEMPT.

Regularity is matter of Importance
in every woman's life. Much pain is,
however, endured in the belief that it
is necessary AID not alarming, when
in truth it is all wrong and indicates
arrangement that may cause serious
trouble.
Excessive monthly pain ITSELF will
unsettle the nerves and make women
old before their time.
The foundation of woman's health is
a perfectly normal and regular per-
Torrance of natures function. The
statement we print from Miss GER
TRUDE SKIES, of Eldred, Pa, is echoed
in every city, town and hamlet in this
country. Read what she says:
"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I feel like a
new person since following your ad-
vice, aad think it is my duty to let the
public know the good your remedies
have done me. My troubles were pain
full menstruation and leucorrhea. 1
was nervous and had spells of being
confused. Before using your remedies
I never had any faith in patent medi-
cines. Inow wish to say that I never
had anything do me SO much good for
painful menstruation as Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; also would
say thatyour Sanative Wash has cured
me of leucorrhea. I hope these few
words NAV help suffering women"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
leled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as hundred thousand ailing
women during q single year.
All suffering women are invited to
write freely to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass. for advice about their health.

A HOLIDAY IN THE COUNTRY.

A daintier maiden you never could find
Than little Miss Violet Lee,
AS she went to the country one summer day
To visit her cousins three.
She had dressed herself up In her finest
clothes
(She never had been there before),
And was shocked to find that each country
child
Wore calico pinafore.
The cousins were playing out under the
trees,
Rosy and free as the air,
But at sight of the fine little city miss
Each one Of them stopped to STARE
But twas not very long ere the children
four
Were playing in merry glee.
And started to run race to the barn,
The lambs and the bossies to see.
But Violet couldn't climb over the fence.
Because of her frills and her flutes,
And she dared not walk in the meadow
grass,
For fear Of spelling her boots;
And she couldn't climb up the haymow
stairs
To see the dear little doves.
Because she would tumble her pretty dress
Or inture her new kid gloves.
And then on her face came sorry look.
A CULVER, and then frown,
And, alasl with dismay her cousins saw
A big, shiny tear roll down.
They gathered around her and begged heI
to tell
What the cause of her tears could be.
She told them. They whispered minute
or two,
Then ran to the house in glee.
They dressed her feet in the stoutest shoes
| No hat on her head she wore,
And they covered her beautiful ruffiec
dress
With a calico pinafore.
Then all day long In the barn or the field:
| She played with her cousins three,
And happier maiden you never could finc
| Than little Miss Violet Lee.
| Mary l., Wyatt in outlook.
