In Sayernake forest once witnessed
q very pretty little scene. l noticed a
doe lying down by herself In grassy
hollow. and as l passed her at dis
lance Of about fifty yards it struck me
as singular that she kept her head so
low down that could only see the top
Of 1t on a level with her back. walk
ing round to get better sight, | saw
n iackdaw standing on the turf before
her. very busily pecking at her face
With my glass was able to watch her
movements very closely. He PICKED
round her eyes. then her nostrils' her
throat and In act every part or her
face. and, Just as a man when being
shaved turns his face this way and
that under the gentle guiding touch OF
the BARRIERS fingers and lifts up MS
chin TO allow the razor to pass beneath
H. so did the doe raise and lower ana
turn her face about to enable the bird
TO examine and reach every part with
his bill. Finally the daw left the face
and. moving round, jumped on the
deer's shoulders and began minute
search in that part. Having finished
this, he jumped on to the head ana
pecked at the forehead and round the
bases Of the ears. The pecking done,
he remained for some seconds sitting
perfectly still, looking very pretty with
the graceful red head for stand, the
does long ears thrust out on either
side of him.-Birds and Man.

Amazon Ant Gardens.

DR.. E. Ule contributes TO Engler's
Jahrbuch supplement 30) some inter
esting observations on "ant gardens
in the Amazon region, where they
abound on large number Of goody
plants. They are generally spherical in
form and about the size of walnut.
They are formed by several species OF
ant, which appear to collect the seeds
of many different plants and to SOW
them In these nests, covering up the
seedlings with humus when they begin
to terminate. In the structure Of these
"ant epiphytes" the foliage and the
roots display characters which espe
cially adapt them for the situation in
which they grow and promote also the
protection of the ants themselves. in
their nest Quite number of the
epiphytes were found as deniZens OF
the ant gardens and nowhere else.

The Biggest Not the Best.

A New York dealer who has han
died shiploads of fruit said recently;
ut is often amusing to see men, WON
en- and children picking out, as they be
leve. the choicest fruit at the market
stands. If there are half n dozen
large oranges within sight, they will
have them, even If it Is necessary to
overturn all the rest In the box or bar
rel. and this is true with most all other
varieties that are sold by the piece or
dozen. They invariably get the poorest
specimens of the whole crop and yet
are not aware of It, Very rarely you
will find a person who is a good Judge
who will at once size up the heaviest
oranges, lemons or bananas, regardless
of size, and they capture the choicest
fruit"

The "Cry" of SILK.

One of the most peculiar features
about manufactured silk is the rustling
sound familiar to every woman. In
the silk trade they call 1t the cry or
sometimes the "scroop." OF all textiles
silk is the only material which pos
sesses it.
As everybody knows, the sound is
heard especially when silk is subjected
to friction. What is not so generally
known is that the quality Is found in
silk yarn before it is woven. A skein
of silk, unless it has been so treated as
TO Kill this property in 1t, Will when
opened up emit the noise slightly
When the skein is squeezed In the
hand. the sound becomes quite audible.
The Gerry" is considered a very desir-
able quality in silk. Dyers try to dc
velop it as much as possible.
