FIVE BLACK PETS.

Does any child about six and half years
old want to hear of five black pets which a
little boy l know about six and a half years
old has? Any one who does can read this.
but think no one can guess what they are
or where he keeps them. 1 told you they
were black; now, where do you suppose he
found them, and how do you think he
brought them home? This much l will tell
you-he found them when he was walking
with his father and mother. No. indeed
they are not wild beasts, for he caught
them in the grass ami brought them home
in a sugar plum box! The little boy thinks
they are very contented. for they often
make a pleasant, cheerful sound when, he
says. they are extremely happy"
Once he asked me II 1 knew how they
made this pleasant sound. and then told me
he had watched them rub their wings to-
gether and that made their song. SO you
see they have wings and yet are so small
that five Of them live happily in a sugar
plum box. are black, and make a pleasant
noise by rubbing their wings together. Do
you know what they are? OF course, they
must have something to eat and drink, and
of course. If you care about them at ALL
you would like to know what they eat and
what they drink. 1t is not bread and but
ter nor meat and potatoes which they eat,
neither is it milk that they drink but ca CHI

THE HONEY BIRD.

A great many years ago people used to
drink a sweet water called mead that was
made of honey.
We never hear about mead I'm these DAYS
when SO many different sorts of wines are
brought to us from other countries. But
in olden times mead was held in very high
esteem; and the person who made ii, and
who was called 1.-The mead maker" was
thought to be of more Importance than the
doctor. Queen Elizabeth used to drink a
great deal OF mead. and left behind a recipe
for the best way of making it.
There is bird called the honey guide
that lives in Africa, in the country of the
Hottentots. 1t is rather larger than a spar
row, and is SO fond of honey that it is al
ways on the lookout to get some There
are no bee hives in that country. but the
bees make nests in the hollow of a tree or
in some other sheltered place.
The bird Is sure to find its way to the
bees nest, but it does not like to attack
1t, for fear of being stung. So ii begins to
call out in its own way for some one else
to come; 1t makes a loud piercing cry that
it well known to all who are within hearing.
Sometimes the bear is lurking about
among the trees, and he hears it; and by
and-by he sees the bird perched on some
branch close by. The bird flies toward the
nest of the poor unsuspecting bees, and the
bear follows; for he loves the taste of
any means, that he has gone after the
honey guide. He does not much care about
the stings, though they sometimes put him
into a great passion. At any rate. he pulls
out the nest with his feet and paws and
feasts on the honey; and while the bear is
eating the bird Is sure to get as much as he
wants
The Hottentot knows the voice OF the
honey guide and follows IT with great de-
light. When he reaches the nest he does
not forget his kind friend: he takes care to
leave behind that part Of the comb which
contains the eggs and the little grubs, for
the bird likes these better even than the
honey.
And he would not catch or kill the honey
guide for any reward that could be offered.
A traveller once told a Hottentot that he
would give him any number Of glass beads
and great deal of tobacco II he would set
a trap for the honey guide. But the Hot
tentot would do nothing Of the kind.
THE bird is our friend" he said land

When he comes out his fuzzy coat is well

he flies. and as he plunges into it some of
the pollen from his coat rubs Oft into the

SO he goes from flower to flower gathering

serving the flowers by carrying pollen from

Have you ever seen on the topmost
branches of the apple tree in your orchard
bird called a flycatcher? Bradford Toney
says in his studies of everyday birds that
he should call 1t apple tree ffycatcher'
If the matter were referred to him. This
bird is really kingbird, and can be recog-
niZed long way off by the short quick
stroke of its wings, its habit of lowering
and the coloring, which is dark colored
above, almost black and pure white under
meath. His tail when outspread, shows
broad white border at the tip. On his
crown is an orange red patch, but you
would probably never see it unless very
near the bird.
The kingbird's Latin name is tyrannus
tyrannus. He belongs to the 1y-catcher
family because he catches insects on the
