THE BIRD CLOWN.
A Queer Kind Of Fslies~ 10 the Yellow
Breasted Chat.

A Queer Kind Of Fsiis~ 10 the Yellow
Breasted Chat.
The oddities Of the yellow breasted
chat begin even with his classification.
To think Of warbler the size of
Baltimore oriole. warbler with
song like mocking bird! Indeed.
there Is little about the chat that is
not remarkable. He goes in for the
weird and the spectacular. If Nature
designed him to show what she could
do in the way Of the unusual and the
eccentric, she had remarkable success
This bird and not the catbird is the
real clown of the woods" Clown Of
the thicket would be more apt, for. like
the catbird, he prefers the shrub and
lower trees. A wild tangie Of briers
and vines Is a favorite haunt. 1t Is
only the better to survey such a re-
treat that he mounts to the top Of a
tree. From his lofty perch he sings,
to the amazement and bewilderment
OF the person that hears the song for
the first time. More likely than not
he will become invisible and silent
upon the first attempt to approach
him, remaining quiet and hidden till
you move on again: then he chuckles
loudly and scolds and spits and SCOTS
till you are out Of sight and hearing.
No bird is 90 fearful of being seen
or such master of hide and seek. 1t
Is worse than useless to try to steal a
march on him. He manages to be al
ways on the wrong side Of the next
! bush. II you should find his nest,
which Is q pretty little basket Of straw
ana weed stalks lined with fine grasses
and strips OF soft bark or leaves placed
foot or more above the ground among
tall weeds or bushes. the sitting bird
steals away and Is at once lost to
sight. Take a peep at the white, red
speckled eggs and then hide among
the bushes as far away from the nest
as you can while still keeping IT in
sight. You may have to wait for an
hour and even make other trips to the
spot. but this is the surest way to get
good look at this shy one.-St. Mich.

Just as teakettle must. In the city
