Some 10 hemcmber When
Iecting the Cage.
How and where will you keep your
bird? That cleanliness is obviously
of the first Importance. and that 1t is
hard to keep fanciful cages from dirt
and parasites. is enough to condemn
them. says Harper's Bazaar. Swiss cot
tages, pagodas, and the like, hung
with pendants and sparkling with me-
tallic ornament. are both tasteless and
bright points and dangling spangles
until 1t poisons or chokes itself, and
the corners and crlnkles are SO many
lodgings for dirt and vermin. Wood
en- cages are to be avoided because sub
ject to impurity. and brass ones on ac-
count Of the great danger from YER
digris, for the gliding soon wears on;
the cleaning wires are also harmful
to birds eyes. and they offer no con-
trast with Its yellow plumage. If
you must have a cage OF the popular
bell shape get painted one, and re-
paint II as often as seems desirable.
Where you shall place your canary or
other bird to good advantage is a mat
ter to consider carefully. In summer
weather he enjoys being out of doors
or in an open window. but not in the
direct hot sunshine, nor exposed to
shower, nor where dogs or cats, hawks
or shrikes can seize him or perhaps
frighten him to death. Remember
that these little creatures may easily
be frightened Into Illness or even
death.

In these columns mention has al
ready been made of the discovery of a
horn Of the extinct aurochs, or ur mot

Pomerania- This remarkable specimen
DR.. Nehring now describes and figures
in the 'Deutsche Landwirtschaftliche
Presse" of Feb. 10. In the course of
this article the author mentions that
the aurochs, of which our domestic
cattle are the descendants, survived on
the continent till 1927 and that ex-
amples of its enormous horns, some
times mounted as drinking cups, were
preserved in many inns, churches and
castles. especially in South Germany
and Alsace-Lorraine, till a compare
lively recent date. In 1850 Conrad
Gesner, for instance. mentions having
seen skulls, with the horns, OF aurochs
at old hostels in Worms and Mayence.
Till as recently as the first French
revolution two aurochs' horns were
preserved in Alsace. the one in the
cathedral of Strasburg and the other
