HOW A BIRD DRESSES.
Two Suits a Year Is All They Require,
Provided They Take Good
Care Of Them.

AS bird fashions do not change the
lady birds of to-day wear the same kind
of dresses their grandmothers wore, and
are never troubled about style.
Two suits a year are quite enough for
most birds, but they need to take great
are of them.
Each separate feather must be cleaned
and looked over, and the useless ones
pulled out. Y
You have seen a canary p%reening his
feathers by lifting them and smoothing
them out with his bill, and you may have
thought him vain to do this so often.
But necessity and not vanity is the
cause of this frequent dressing.
If you neglect to comb your hair it will
become tangled and look untidy-but
serious things happen to a bird who
does not comb its feathers.
These feathers are not packed close to-
gether, you know. but lie loose, AID have
places between filled with air.
When a bird a n to get warmer he
lifts his feathers so hat these air spaces
may be larger; but, if his feathers are
tangled or wet and dirty, he could not
raise them, and soon he could not keep
the heat in his little body, and would die,
of course.
Perhaps you have noticed sparrows or
other birds in the winter time. They al
ways look larger. but they have only
iuffed out their feathers, because the
weather is cold.
Mr.. Canary does the same thing when
he goes to bed at night. A water bird has
to be even careful about his clothes,
for if he should get them wet he would
die of cold.-Detroit Free Press.

Good Cows Badly Needed.

In q communication to the Farmers
Review Joseph Newman says: Most
of our diaries have too many COW
boarders who consume more than their
milk sell for. We must not get dis
c~ouraged, but by continuing the edu-
cation of our dairymen to use the
scales and Babcock test to determine
which cows to keep; to build and fill
silos, grow alfalfa, and feed a balanced
ration, the improbable boarders will
disappear, and America will be looked
to as the home OF the best dairy cat

THE DARK.

The dark came out OF his dim retreat
Where shadowy hemlocks spread:
No sound he made with his gliding feet
As he passed through the village street
Where the trembling Twilight fled.
And the children, caught in the edge Of
night,
Sped home with a thrill of fear;
The Dark is coming!' they cried in fright,
And scampered away to the cottage light
That sent them a ray of cheer.
And the Dark passed on, and he gently
stepped
His shoes were as soft as down;
As the tired people and flowers sic pit,
The cool, thick plumes from his helmet
swept II
Far over the resting town.
The children s,unlbered till dawn grew red,
And the Dark kept watch till day;
He kissed them all, as they lay in bed,
And not the curl of a single head
Did he harm ere he stole away.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Il Chon. 21-27.) One of the great
desires of David's heart had been to
build a worthy temple for the ark of
Jehovah, but conditions in Israel were
not ripe for an era of building. Peace
had to be secured with surrounding
nations and the new kingdom com
pacted and organized before that time
could come. So Saul and David built
the kingdom, leaving the temple for
Solomon to build. This was the natur-
al, and indeed the only possible, or
der. The site which David selected
for the temple was the th~reshing-f1oor
of Ornan Tor Araunah), just outside
OF the eastern wall of the city. 1t was
here that David saw the apparition in
the sky at the time of the great pes
tilence-an angel with a drawn sword
in his hand-and sacrificed to Jehovah
with a prayer that the contagion might
be checked. This seemed to David,
because of the deliverance which came.
a fitting place for the great national
sanctuary. The story is told in two

21:1-30. The chapters intervening be-
tween this incident and to-day's les
son are filled with details of David's
preparation for the building. and an
elaborate scheme of the organization
of the kingdom both civil and religious.
(Ch. 28.1-3.) "All the princes of

ton. We must seek them out Just

when merely selfish considerations

himself do not.

THE LESSON TEXT.

u SHTOH. So.l-lp)
J.. And David assembled all the princes
OF israel, the princes of the tribes, and
the captains of the companies that min
istered to the king by course. and the
captains over the thousands. and captains
over the hundreds, and the stewards over
al the substance and possession of the
KING, and of his sons, with the officers,
ana with the mighty men, and with all
the valiant men, unto Jerusalem.
:, Then David the king stood up upon
MS feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren,
ana my people: As for me, l had in mine
heart to build an house Of rest for the ark
OF the covenant of the Lord, and for the
lootstool of our God, and had made ready
for the buildings:
s.. But God said unto me. Thou shalt not
build a house for My name. because thou
mast been a man of war, and hast shed
blood.
4. Howbeit the Lord God of Israel chose
me before all the house of my father to
be king over Israel for ever: for He hath
CHOSEN judah to be the ruler; and of the
mouse OF Judah, the house of my father;
ana among the sons OF my father He liked
ME to make me king over all Israel:
.. And of all my soEs Qor the Lord hath
given me many sons), he hath chosen Sol
olnon my son to sit upon the throne of the
Kingdom of the Lord over Israel.
6. And He said unto me. Solomon thy
son, he shall build My house and Ny
courts: for | have chosen him 10 be Ny
son, and | will be his father.
=. Moreover | will establish his kingdom
for ever, If he be constant to do My COM
mandments and Ny judgments, as at this
day.
o. NOW therefore in the sight of all Is
rael the congregation of the Lord, and in
the audience of our God, keep and seek
1of all the commandments of the Lord
your God: that ye may possess this good
lana, and leave it for an inheritance for
your children after you for ever.
.. Ana thou. Solomon my son, know
thou the God OF thy father, and serve Him
with a perfect heart and with a willing
MIND: for the Lord searcheth all hearts,
and understan0eth all the i~maginations
OF the thoughts: if thou seek Him, He
VIII be found CT thee; but if thou forsake
Him. He will cast thee off for ever.
10. Take heed now; for the Lord hath
chosen thee to build a house for the
sanctuary: be strong, and do It.
