mayed young cock!
The males OF many birds, such as the scarlet
tanager and indigo bunting, assume the sombre
green or brown hues of the female during the
winter, and in spring change to glorious scar
let and black exquisite indigo color. Not
only do most Of the females of the feathered
world retain their duh coats throughout the
year but some deface even this to form feather
beds for the precious eggs and nestlings, to pro-
tect which bright coIors must be foregone en-
tirely

stiff millinery punches of similar feathers torn
from murdered brethren Even the night heron,
awkward and querulous exhibits long curled

female white pelicans have, To be sure, the
graceful crest which Sir Pelican erects is beau
tiful, but that huge horny keel sight on
his bill! What use can it subserve, aesthetic or
other? One would think that such a structure
growing SO near his eyes, and day by day be-
coming taller, must occupy much of his atten-
ton

come out like thistledown while underneath is

sometimes carry a few locks of long brown win

the summers coat are grown. What boon to

1t is poor substance, indeed, which, when
cast aside, is not available for some secondary
use In natures realm, and the hairs which fall
from animals are not all left to return to their
native elements. The sharp eyes of birds spy
them out and the lining to many nest is thus
furnished. Young chipping sparrows invariably
spend their nesthood days a hOrsehafr mat
tress, although such material has its dangers
and more than one young sparrow or phoebe
finds itself chained for life by a turn and a
lSnot of hair. One feathered seeker of cast of
clothing met disaster through trying to get

tangled in the hairs of a pony's tail!
