poles brought from Canada, these birds

long sharp bills until they extract It
They work al around it until 1t Is dis
lodged They then continue pecking I'm
til the center of the pole is reached, after
which the softer material is removed Ia
some cases the interior of the pole at the
point attacked is nothing more than n
mere shell, and any sudden gale is apt to
snap 1t off.
The birds sometimes build their nests
inside the hollow pole and have been
known to be killed 10y its breaking The
cedar poles taken out after they are ruined
by the birds are generally replaced by
chestnut poles, which arc seldom attacked

sharp lookout for poles damaged In this
way, and when they find they have been

ny CASTLE IN THE AIR.

n could 60 ballooning
And had the time 70 spare,
I'd journey to discover
My castle in the air.

Beyond the yellow moon,
Where tradesmen' bills can never come
Not even by balloon.

He eyes its door in vain,
Because its cistern runs with
No water, but champagne.
Its roof has been constructed
SO very high and steep
No lovelorn cats can Chamber there
To frighten gentle sleep.
My neighbours hens can never
Defy the garden wall.
Because there are no neighbors
Or hencoops near at all
So, in the garden nodding.
In rich profusion grow
Tobacco trees and cauliflowers
And roses all arrow
OH could reach my castle.
I'd never need TO think.
I'd never need TO scribble
And clothe my dreams in ink.
So when I'm not so busy
I'll hire big balloon
And sail away With know whom
Beyond the yellow moon.
