Down here they saw the horns off the

take up less room in the cars, are not
SO likely to injure one another and look
better to the buyer. A Texas steer may
carry just as much beef and tallow as a

him look leaner. Texas cattle have a
bad reputation, too, and when their
horns are sawed off they look as inno-

BIRD SISTER OF CHARITY.
Affection Manifssted By . Java Spar
row when Its Companion was
MoptaiIy wosnaed.

Milne-Edwards, director of the Jar
din des Plantes in Paris, relates the fol-
lowing story Of two Java sparrows;
They were both hen and in the same
ayiary with a parrot, which took a dis
like to one of them. One day the parrot
picked a quarrel with one Of the spar
rows, tore out its feathers and finally
broke its leg with a blow OF It's beak.
The poor little thing could no longer
stay on a perch. II lay shivering on the
ground, to the evident grief of the COM
panion bird. She went about the aviary
picking up straws, feathers and leaves
to make a bed for the invalid. She ac-
complished wonders Of dexterous man
agement in lifting up the featherless
sufferer and placing II OF the couch.
But the weather was cold at night. The
charitable bird placed itself beside the
one with the broken leg. and extended
a wing over 1t to keep il warm. The po-
sition must have been uncomfortable,
not TO say painful, but NJ. Milne-Ed-
wards never came at night TO see how
this feathered sister Of charity" was
behaving without finding IL with its
wing lovingly extended. The invalid
died. The other bird began TO nope,
lost appetite, withdrew into a corner,
dropped and died also. Was IL instinct
that prompted IL TO make a bed and
keep the other bird warm? No, IL was
sentiment, and charitable sentiment,
guided by reason. That bird was not
only charitable, but %virtuous, and really
deserved the Montyon prize.
