Bird Courtship.

Bird courtship, then. is not a process
of selection on the part of the females.
but is a process of arousing the mating
instinct in the females on the part of
the males. I doubt il there are any
conscious preferences on either side.
If the female refuses the male, it is
not because he does not fill her eye or
arouse her admiration, but because the
mating instinct is not yet ripe. In other
words, the female does not accept the
male because because she adnires him,
but because she is ready to mate.
have heard of two aEbino robins that
mated, showing, if this be true, that
abnormal coloring did not stand in the
way Darwin quotes from an observer
in South Africa who says that the fe-
male widow bird disowns the male when
he is robbed of the long tail feathers
with which he is ornanented during
the breeding season. This was very
likely because this plucking broke his
spirits and reduced his breeding IN

Yes. You know what catnip is.

But I never heard of such a thing. -
Probably not. I believe there are

quickly. Here's a bunch of the stuff I
bought for my cat today. She's wan
dered off somewhere, and you may

Mr.. Bowser took the bunch and walk
ed off. He hadn't got ten feet from the
door when stray cat meowed at his
heels. Before reaching the other end of
the block he was being followed by two
more. Another block and the number
was six. When within a hundred feet
of his gate it seemed as if there were
! twenty wauling, meowing felines around
I him, all making threats against his life
! if he did not give up that bunch, and
he suddenly became panic-stricken and
fed.
"Weu?'' queried Mrs. Bowser as she
opened the front door and found him on
the steps and breathing heavily.
But he gazed steadily at the rising
moon and made no answer He had
been defeated, but he meant to save

Then how do you grow it?"

agriculturalist was in a hurry and
was soon driving away. An old man

put his fist under the others nose and
held it there for a few seconds and
then passed on. His family druggist
was a proper man to appeal to, but
it was ten minutes before the searcher
after information entered the store. It
was another ten before he asked:
doc, do cats eat catnip?"

and then in a casual way inquired:
Jones. did you used to raise catnip
on your farm?"
The old woman raise a few punches
just enough for her cats" was the
reply.
How for her cats?''
Why. cats eat it like fun, partfc-
ularly about this time O. year. If you
have cat over home and she is all
