by bird lovers. a "bird table, consists
of a board supported between two
branches Of a tree, on which are ex.
posed small dishes which are regu-
larly kept filled with seed, while above
is fastened a large piece of beef suet.
Such n table will attract a whole host
of birds, who will remain welcome Wis.
itors all the winter through. Among
the birds which will be attracted by a
bird table, are blue jays, nuthatches.
~chickadees, red-headed wodpeckers,
downy ~woodpeckers, kinglets, gold
fnches and English sparrows. 1t is
not likely, however, that the gold finch,
which is commonly known as the wild
canary, will be recognized in his winter
dress. except by those who know that
with the coming of cold weather he
changes from a gorgeous black and
yellow to a gray and dirty green.
Easier still than the bird table, as
an eNpedient for attracting birds is
the setting up a few boxes or tin cans
to serve as nesting places. An ordi-
nary empty tin can if set up on the
top of Il pole will serve as a nest for
the pretty bluebird. which will spend
all his summer with you if only the
English sparrows are kept away.
Within the last year or two it has
been noted that the English sparrow
has taken to living out in the country
lanes and hedges as we'll as in streets
and alleys. 1t is there, as always, g
mean, domineering little bully, depend

Mud of Healing Quality.

Healing mud is found in Sweden and
OH the shores of the Black Sea. in the
department OF Landcs in the south of
France and at st. Amand-les-EauN in
the north; in Piedmont, Nenetia and
other parts of Italy; in Hungary, Po-
land, and, best known of all. in the ia
nous German and Austrian spas.
Speaking generally, q mud or moor"
bath, to use u less Objectionable and
quite as accurate title. is composed of
peaty, Doggy turf which contains slim
nlating chemical properties and which,
after being carefully prepared, is
mixed with the mineral waters of the
locality where it is used. For the com
fort of intending bathcrs it may be
mentioned that the mixture is not adhe-
sive, but leaves the skin easily under
the warm douche which precedes the
cleansing bath. The period of INNER
sion ranges from half an hour to five
hours and the same mud serves
throughout the course.
