While gnats and mosquitoes played hide

And play wild season at "tug" in the

While freckles were printed on checks

And other locations now hidden by clothes.

Remarkable Memory shown by canaries.

"St. Andreasberg people know moth
ing of the canary of the encyclopaedia,
which can initiate perfectly the night
ingale, or even enunciatc some words
in imitation of the human voice." de-
clares Ida Shaper Hoxie, in telling
about st. Andreasberg, "The Singing
Village of Germany" in The Ladies'
Home Journal. "The birds of one
breed, subjected to the same infiu-
ences, have songs that vary with the
throat muscles and vocal chords cf
each individual. But so remarkable
is the canary memory that bird bred
to certain song, IL removed from the
cage in which he has heard it from
his parent, when six weeks old, will
later, when he himself begins to sing,
give the same song though never hav-
ing heard it in the intervening
period"
