Bird Took Trips on Buses and Gave
His Foes Tongue Lashing.
The Brixton jackdaw, which was
found dead recently in the bar of the
Angel Arms at Brixton, London, was
a great celebrity in his own way. All
jackdaws have fads Of their own, and
the favorite fad of this particular bird
was to travel all over London on omni-
buses, trains and cabs. He was thor
oughly we'll known to every busman
in the Brixton district; he used to
take his seat on bus beside the
driver, and would chatter most volu-
bly, till the journe'- % the city or else
where was accom- pl1shed, when he
would fly back to his Brixton home
He was bird of strorg likes and dis
likes. and when any of his masters
customers failed to find favor in his
sight he would assai them with the
most embarrassing flow Of language.

of the Venezuelans, whom she de-
scribes as models Of domestic virtue.

go out very little in public, being of

Tots, a fine peacock and some monkeys
which are allowed to roam at will in
the garden.

Amethysts in High Favor.

Amethysts are in high favor Some
times they are set in gold, but oftener
in gun metal. They are seen as sash
pins, belt buckles, long chains, as well
as in the tops of purses and wrist
bags. One woung woman is the envy
of her associates by reason of a superb
heart-shaped locket composed of a
single deep hearted amethyst which
she wears dangling from gold snake

vegetation is of slow growth. the hare
serves as machine for converting
birch twigs into muscular, lean meat,
and providing it in such quantities

and foxes can live in comparative
luxury A pair of hares under favor.

The Worlds Rarest bird.

To find the rarest bird in existence
you must go to the mountains between
Anam and Loas, where there is a GER
tain kind Of pheasant. For many
years its existence was known only
by the fact that its longest and most
splendid plume was in much request
by mandarins for their headgear. A
single skin is worth $500, and the
bird living would be priceless, for 1t
soon dies IN captivity.
