Board With the Butler,

To avoid the trouble of housekeep-
ing, many wealthy Parisians board
with their butler, so to speak. Instead
of ordering the food for the household
from day to day, they pay a fixed sum
per month to their butler or housekeep-
er, who contracts to supply them with
the usual three meals per day. oom-
posed Of the customary courses, says
What to Eat. The price paid for this
service varies in accordance with the
style OF living. If guests be invited to
dinner or any sort Of entertainment be
given, an extra sum per head IL paid.
In this way the lady Of the house
avoids the annoyance OF butchers and
bakers bills. and If the butler does
not keep his part Of the contract 1t is
easy enough to find another to replace
him. OF course, the presidents house
hold is carried out on this plan on a
large scale. ana many OF the big stores
supply all their employees with daily
meals In the same manner. The banks
and other administrations Of similar
nature often furnish the monday meal
TO their clerks by contract, the latter
paying q trifing sum toward the cost.

that he may have to wait some min

that better results are obtained by
holding the rope as unobtrusively as

necessary to swing the loop over aud

Find" he says. "a family OF wood
thrushes and carefully note what takes
place. Tie old male thrush will sing
the sweet song In loud. clear, flutelike
notes once and then stop to listen
while the young birds try TO Initiate
the song. Some will utter one note.
some two. Some will utter a coarse
note. others sharp note. After awhile
they seem to forget their lesson and
drop out one by one. When all are ST.
lent, the old thrush turns up again,
and the young thrushes repeat their
efforts, and so it goes on for hours.
The young birds do not acquire the
full song the first year, so the lessons
are repeated the following spring. !

enjoy the first thrushes' singing school.

the wood thrush is q matter of educa-
