Parrots Are Vegetarians.

Parrots are vegetarians. They live
chiefly upon a light but nutritious
diet of fruit and seeds or upon the
abundant nectar of rich tropical flow
ers. And it is mainly for the sake of
getting at their chosen food that they
have developed the large and power
full bills which characterize the fami-
". You may have perhaps noted the
most tropical fruit eaters, like the
hornbills and the toucans, are remark
able for the size and strength of their
beaks.-CornhilI Magazine.

To Induce Humility In "a Peacock.

If you wish to take the cOnceit out Of
a peacock pull out his tail feathers, and
as soon as he finds the glory of his
plumage gone he becomes the hum
blest most subdued and ashamed look
ing bird that ever walked the earth. A
peacock in full feather is so vain and
cOnceited as sometimes to be really
troublesome Not satisfied with squall-
ing at the top of his discordant voice
and with parading up and down the
walks with expanded plumage, he will
attack cats, dogs and even children and
has been known to seriously injure
small boys or girls that were incau-
tious enough to venture within his
reach.
Plucking his tail feathers, however,
causes all his courage to evaporate.
He will sneak around the yard like a
Whipped spaniel, will keep out Of sight
as much as possible, and you will hear
nothing of him until his plumage has
again grown.
