TAME HUMMING BIRDS.

Proof that the Tiny Creatures Re
member Their Friends.
Ny special pet is the humming bird,
and [ never weary of feeding and fuss
ing with that lovely little creature |
tame thcm every year, and my interest
in them never flags.
Last spring my wife and / were stand
ing on the piazza and Il pair of male
uby-thrOats-the first arrivals-came
lowering around our heads, chasing each
other IN seeming play, and then lighting
side by side on a star jasmine vine,
within foot or two of our faces, with
out the slightest fear Of US, which meant.
Of course, that they knew their ground.
and Wnen L brought out the little bottle
that they always feed from, one of them
came directly to it as if he had fed from
it all his life. It's delightful to be re-
membered by the tiny creatures in this
way, and nearly every season l have
proof Of their wonderful memory. This
season at least two or three of my old
pets have visited me, and all seem to be
as tame as on the previous year, but
the early birds that are on the migratory
move L cannot induce to stay. They
nearly all go farther north to set up
housekeeping. | never expect to keep
one for any length of time until the
young birds appear in the early part of
June.
During the month Of June this year [
had two or three quite tame, but one in
particular never saw me anywhere
round the place but he would come hoy
ering around me, and / never failed to
take his little bottle from my pocket and
give him a sip or two. | have discovered
that it is best to give them but little at
time, as they are apt to overfeed them
selves. | often sit on the piazza to read
my paper, and when l have tame bird
L hold the bottle, with the bow attach
ment, so that he can sit and help him
self without interfering with my read
ing; and this summer. as l was reading.
l heard my pet, as | supposed, fly up
and take his seat, and [ paid no atten-
ton to him for some time. | then looked
up to see what he was doing. and to my
surprise and delight there sat an old full
plumaged male bird-a friend of a pre-
vi0us year. But he never repeated his
visit.-Forest and Stream.

Dickens and the Children.

Writing in the Century on Charles
Dickens interest in the cause of educa-
ton, James Z. Hughes concludes his
article by saying;
He was the first great English student
of Froebel. He deals with nineteen diff
ferept schools in his books He gives
more attention to the training of child
hood than any other novelist, or any 9th
or educator except FroebeI. He was
one of the first Englishmen to demand
national control of education, even III
private schools. and the thorough train
ing of all teachers. He exposed four
teen types of coercion, and did (>are
than anyone else to lead Christian L. n
and women TO treat children humanely
Every book he wrote, except two, is rich
in educational thought. He took the
most advanced position on every phase Of
modern educational thought, except man
ual training. When he is thoroughly IN
derstood he will be recognized as the
Froebel of England.

Would Have Been in the Front.

Two darkics sat side by side in an ele-

Madame Lehman and Hcr Eeath
ornd


Nine. Ililh Lehman is an ardent
champion Of birds ana animals Posi-
bly, she is little partial to the cause
OF the birds, as might be expected of
one sweet singer 10 another, but her
sympathies are not confined to the Audit
bon society She is an honorary officer
of the Berlin Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals. to which organ
izatiOn, according t. report, she has be-
queathed her fortune.
Not long ago Nine. Lehman received
a request for her autograph. Such re
quests are more than daily occurrences
during the American S0jOurn of the great
singers, who are really very generous in
their responses. In this case the apDli-
cant was an agitated young woman who
secured the unusual privilege Of being
personally received by Nine. Iehmann
Naturally she had arrayed herself in her
most SumptuOuS street raiment in order
to honor her hostess and. incidentally
do credit to herself To this end, there
fore, she wore large hat, whose ample
area barely accommodated the feathers
heaped upon it.

woman entered the singers apartment

SpicUOuSly with the excess of her emo
tons. The desired autograph was gra-
ciously given, but the interview did not
end there. Nine. Lehman could not
neglect SO palpable an opportunity for
missionary work III behalf of her bird
friends. and the result was that the be-
feathered visitor was quite won over
and went away promising to abandon
borrowed plumage of the literal variety

"LIFE PLANT.'
1t Grows from Its Own Leaf IN the
Island of Guade1Oupe.

On the island Of Guadeloupe, French
West Indies, a peculiar plant, called the
life plant" grows wild. If any leaf
be broken from the plant and pinned by
the stem to the wall of warm room,
each of the angles between the undula-
tons of the leaf margin soon throws out
a number of white, thread-like roots.
Next a tiny plant begins to sprout.
which IN the course of two or three
weeks attains height of two or more
inches. When the original leaf begins
to shrivel, which may take from six
weeks to three months, the small plants
may be cut out with scissors and planted
or the whole leaf buried, when the young
plants will rapidly attain full size. When
cultivated the plant grows four feet tall
ana produces graceful red and yellow
flowers.
Consul Ayme believes this plant could
be grown successfully as q house plant,
and certainly in any ordinary green
house. Old and new leaves sprout with
about the same readiness
