Marvellous Strength of Birds.

Birds can eat and digest from ten TO
thirty times as much food In proportion TO
their size as men can. If man could eat
as much tn proportion to his size as a spar
row Is able to consume he would need
whole sheep for dinner, couple of dozen
chickens for breakfast and six turkeys for
his evening meal. A tree sparrow has been
known to eat seven hundreds grass SEEDS IN
a day. Relative to the birds size, these
seeds were as big as an ordinary lunch
basket would be to full grown man.
A birds strength is equally amazing. A
white-tailed eagle weighing twelve pounds
with a Widespread of six feet, has been
known to pounce on pig weighing forty
two pounds, raise It to height of hum
dred feet and fly off with 1t. The bird has
covered a distance OF half a mile before
the pigs owner succeeded in shooting the
thief
Birds can and do work far harder than hui
man beings pair of house martins when
nesting will feed their young once in TWEEN
ty seconds-that is, each bird, male ard fe-
male, makes ninety journeys to and fro IN
an hour. or about 1000 day. 1t must be
remembered that on each journey the bird
has the added work of catching the worm.
Even so tiny a bird as the wren has been
counted to make 10 trips to and from its
nest within 430 minutes; and the prey II
carried home consisted of larger, heavier
and harder-to-find insects than were caught
by the sparrows Among them were 70
good sized caterpillars, 10 grasshoppers, Z
spiders. II worms and more than one fat
chrysalis.

Peeps Into ToyIand,

Every child Is a mimic, and any toy
which encourages his love Of imitation will
prove a success.
There is a time in the life Of every boy
when he wishes he could be a music
man" and have a monkey to gather up
the pennies. From toyland comes the news
that a miniature street piano has been
fashioned exactly like the really and truly
one. 1t mas a silk band which may be fast
ened around the child's neck and leaves his
arms free to turn the little crank with
which the piano is fitted. The toy is hand
some and not very expensive, costing about
$3.50.
Dolls have had underwear for a long
time, but never until now have they had
union" suits. These cunning little gar
ments come in eight sizes. there being quite
a difference in each size. There are several
different colors. SO that the most FASH
ionable mother can select one exactly to
her taste.
The manufacturers Of this novelty make
only superior goods. They say that before
these union suits made their appearance
there was such demand for them that
they decided to give them to the public.
No doubt all up-to-date little mothers will
that her children have one of these
new suits.

sparrows as Good samaritans.

The sparrow had never been noted for its
good works and kind deeds, but the follow
ing little story throws new light on these
despising little scrappers:
Last spring young robin was found
laundering about gentleman's lawn. Ii
was unable to fly and had evidently fallen
from its nest. Fearing that the cats might
devour it in the night this gentleman took
the bird to the rear Of his yard and placed
it in an Enclosure covered with wire
screen. While dressing the next morning
he looked out of his window and was amaz-
ed at the action of a couple of sparrows
who were carrying worms to the young
robin in the Enclosure. They would fly
away only to return a few moments later
with worms. which they dropped through
the screen into the upturned mouth of the
captive. They kept up this charitable feed
ing until the robin was liberated and even
then they lowered around like self-appoint-
ed guardians.

ones to go were the yellow-makers. Thsy

at least 200 heads of babies curls," said the
little old man, roguishly looking at Ralpn
OF the Woods. The yellow-makers chuckled
and began to fill their sacks out of the
golden bucket. Each one carried TWO
sacks. and when they began to cut and
snip from the rainbow the two sacks fioated
out behind their shoulders like wings and
carried them up and up while they stuffed
their Jacket pockets, their blouses and their
caps with the yellow of the rainbow.
Ralph of the Woods turned to the little
old man, who was scratching busily in his
purple-covered book. "Why, that bucket Of
gold is only color, isn't itY' he said
People wouldn't be so greedy to get 1t II
they knew that, would they?'
Some people like yellow very much In
deed said the little old man. 1T is our
most valuable color; it is so cheerful
Then he jumped to his feet quite htirriedly,
put his hands to his mouth for trumpet,
and shouted through them toward where
the last of the rainbow was growing pale
and indistinct.
Don't forget to work together on the
morning mists and the morning glories!

From away in the distance came sound
of chuckles. 1t sounded like soft cloud
rolling into the sky.
The plain was still gray, but the sky was
blue and everything was cheerful
Are all the others made here?" asked
Ralph.
THE rainbows are brightest out here,
said the little old man, and there Is NOBODY
to get in our way. And now, Ralph OF the
Woods" he added come down to my size

Ralph obeyed him for his eyes were tireo
of the rainbow colors and he wanted to
rest them.
