France and Spain. They make a noise
very like geese.
And they build themselves curious
nests of mud and earth scraped together
SO as to form a small hillock with a
hole on the top. Sometimes the hillock
Is as much as % or "a inches high.
In the countries where they are found
they go about in hocks Of 300 or 400 to-
gether. When they are feeding senti-
mel lamingoes stand at each end Of
the flock to give notice of any approach
ing danger. These seRtinels don't at
tempt to eat till the others have I'm
ished, but stand with necks erect and
heads constantly turning, always keep
ing a sharp lookout.
When flying they form themselves
into bands, each band evidently being
under the command of a leader, and in
spite Of their long necks and legs they
are wonderfully graceful.
Like lots of other long-legged birds,
hamingoes love to stand on one leg and
tuck the other up out Of sight.-Phila-
delphia Globe.

In a very remarkable manner during

whites bad Table Manners.

' Williams table manners were noto-
riously bad-so bad that he was face
tiously accused of spelling the manners
Of a pet coon chained in the back yard.
He gripped his fork as though afraid
it was going to get away from him,
and he used it like a hay-fork. Re-
proaches and entreaties were in vain.
His big sisters pleading: please, VIII
liam, don't eat like a pig" made no i'm
preston upon him. One day William
and his bosom friend, a small neighbar.
dined alone, and William was heard
to say in a tone Of great satisfaction

his whole small person with a good
lather, paying special attention to the
creases, where the fat rolls up on his
neck and arms and legs.
When he looks like a frosted cake,
he's ready for the tub. While he is
splashing in the warm water move the
bath towel over so that a dry portion
rests on the table. Now, with a last
dip and splash for good measure, lift
him out on the table, fold the dry end
Of the towel over him, and rub him
briskly. You can polish him off in
your lap if you want to, using the lit
tie old linen towel to supplement the

life!
Now just a word as to the hour Of
the bath, and this lecture is ended.
Everybody knows that a bath, proper
ly given, is most soothing and sleep
inducing. All mothers count on this
factor shOuld-to help them beguile
their offspring into a long mornings
nap. AS most little babies are ready
for a feeding between nine and ten
o'clock In the morning, a good half
hour before bottle time" is the right
time for the plunge. It sometimes
happens, however, that some slight ir-
regularity in the feeding occurs, and
the bottle must be given an hour or
more before bottle time" To far too
many mothers this means trotting to
sleep. or rocking to sleep, or, worst
Of all, walking to sleep, afterwards.
Don'tl After the baby is clean and
dressed give him warm milk in his
bottle. He'll take It most gratefully

When Baby Alice first saw a COW
with a bell around its neck she thought
it so funny that nothing could induce
her to leave the spot. She stood watch

Then, when the bell began to ring, she
turned delightedly to her mother, ex-
claiming: ooh, mamma, does the COW
ring the bell when she wants the calf
to come to supper?'-Little Chronicle.
