BIRDS AS LETTER CARRIERS.
"Frigate" UsefulIy Employed In the
Islands of the Pacific.


The "frigate" is the swiftest of all
sea birds, and in some Of the equa-
torial isles of the Pacific Is used as
letter carrier. Taken from the nest
before it can fly, It is handled on a
fish diet by the natives, and IN the
course of a few months becomes so
tame that il can be liberated during
the day and will return to its perch at
sunset.
It is the practice Of the natives of
the Elicc group, near Samoa, TO ex-
change ;he birds after they have been
tanned. For instance, the Samoan pas
tors Of the islands of Nanomea, Nano-
maya and Niutao-s sixty TO eighty
miles apart-all kept two or three
birds each and frequently used them
10 communicate with each other
The exchange familiarized the bird
with the islands to which they were
sent. al both ends Of the route. Ia.

distance and visit their previous com
panlons when let loose ana a"OweG TO

turn to the home perch.

REFRIGERATOR HINTS.

Keep the ace compartment full OF
leo.
The more ice the greater the econ
Cmy.
Ice.saving schemes are absurd, de-
foating the purpose OF the refrigera"
tor.
Overtime fruits and vegetables are a
menace to the health if left IL the
refrigerator.
IL is the food that is to be kept in
stead of the ice Keeping ice in the
sickroom or at picnic is another mat
ter.
If much ice be used on the table
and for other purposes an authority
advises a storage box for this extra
ice.
II should be sponged out often with
warm waller Ill WilSn - h'''> "o''- 'N>
heen dissolved, and the drain should
not be neglected.
A cellar or other damp spot Is nc
Mace for the refrigerator. On inc
other hand, it should not be put out OF
doors unprotected.
|
Should ants get into the refrigera
tor a saucer of tarter emetic mixec
with sugar and water should be placed
therein. It will drive them away.
Do not think Of covering the
shelves with cloth or paper any moro
than you do the ice. There must be
good circulation, with consequent
melting of ice, to preserve the foot
therein.
