Vegetarian BEDDING

Sir Isaac Pitman invented the 'veg-
etarian bed" composed, not of feath-
-ers. but of MOSES, ferns. flowers and
hay. This bedding material, commend
ed as healthy and health-giving by
many doctors and others, has become
famous in the vegetarian circles, and
deserves to be more widely known "It
smells like ozone" is the testimony OF
more than one physician, and many
say that sleeping upon it gives rest to
the brain and mind"

Sympathy Between Birds.

In the geological garden at Paris
notable occurrence took place the other
day. Prof. A.. Milne-Edwards. the
eminent naturalist, witnessed it, and
made 1t the subject of an article which
has just appeared III French scientific
Journal. Two so-called sun birds have
been for good while inmates OF the
aviary In the garden. These birds are
popularity known as Japanese nightin-
gales, though they are not found in
Japan. and their song in no way re-
sembles that of the nightingale. They
have red bills, orange breasts and vel
low wings. Their home is in India and
IN China. The two birds In Paris Jared

lost almost all of its feathers and was
grievously wounded. The poor Great

Sit on the perch. Furthermore, its
feathers being gone. it suffered greatly
from cold. Marvellous now was the
sympathy manifested by its compan-
ion.s Every evening it gathered moss
and hay, with which it made warm
bed for the invalid. Every night it
perched beside the sufferer on the cold
foor. its wings being spread out to
warm Its companion as much as posi-
bic. For several nights it played the
part of good Samaritan. All it's ef-

Miss Norma Whalley is an Austria
Ian girl in spite of her American beau
ty style OF loneliness. She was born
In Sydney, and traversed the waters
and land into the depths OF Africa be-
fore she was is years old. She is very
beautiful and youthful. but has been
the greatest sort of traveller. Two
years she spent in London, and then
came to America, and she yearns for
chicago as permanent dwelling place
above all the various towns she has
visited in the world. She says. per-
slyely: Il want to settle right down
here in this big, noisy, dusty town for
ever, she said recently to Chicago

ever saw that wanted to live in-and
notice how | prove my words! They
want me to go to New York and Lon
don and San Francisco and all the
other places, but l hang around here.
and don't mind even the neuralgia the
climate gives me. There is lot more
charm in Chicago for me than there
is In Paris or Venice; that's true.
MAYBE IL tne people.
Miss Whalley is exactly like an
American girl in her speech, her man
ner and her stunning order of beauty.
l never saw anything like Norma
Whalley in England. They do grow
that lovely in the tropics and along the
belt of Australia, but not in England.
Miss Whalley is dusky and sweet and
bright as western girl; she has none
of the characteristics of the British
beauty, and all of the touches of color
and physical contour belonging to
breezier and warmer climes.
