Immediately after his interview with

ships and men were ordered to the
Filipincs and General Otis was eX-

Cannihal Birds,

From toTnhiil Magazine
One fine day a batch of tiny parrakeets
from a neighboring, island arrived and
congratulated myself on having at last ac-
auired some amiahle members of my bird
community. Such gentle creatures were
never seen. With their pale green plumage
and the little gray-hooded heads which
easily explained their name of "capuchin,"
they made themselves quite happy in one of
the many domes or cupolas of the Arab
cage. In few days, however, a mysterious
ailment broke out among all the other
birds Nearly every other bird seemed sud
denly to prefer going about one leg. AT
last it dawned on me that many of the ca
nares had actually only one leg An hours
careful watching showed me a parrakeet
siding up to a canary, and, after feigning
to be deeply absorbed in its own toilet,
preening each gay wing feather most care
fully, the little wretch would give sudden
swift nip at the slender leg of its neighbor.
and absolutely bite 1t off then and there.
OF course l Immediately turned the capu-
chins out of the cage with much obloul1v
but too late to save several OF my poor lit
tie pets from one-iegged existence.
