but this particular one has nothing
whatever to go on.
The origin of it lies in the fact that
the blue jay is a most particular home
builder. He knows how TO build his
house, and he takes a great pride in 1t.
He doesn't hang his nest to a limb nor
glue 1t to a tree.
Instead he selects a substantial fork
or crotch of a limb, lays down a few
twigs Of goodly size and strength. and
on these he superimposes a strong
foundation Of clay, with layers of pa
pers between, and when his nest is fin
ished 1t is as substantial In proportion
as one of our modern steel structures.
Thus fitted and finished, It is admi-
rably adapted to the rearing of a
strong and healthy brood, and the blue
Jay goes about his business with the
earnest energy that characterizes all
his movements.
He raises his young and leads them
about from tree to tree and from bush
to bush until they have tried and
found their wings, and then, his re-
sponsibillties being over, he proceeds
with his career of gayety, a veritable
practitioner Of rough fun and stage
humor.-Uncle Remus' Magazine.

HEARD In SONG
Small Audience Hears Local
Organization Sing For Anti
Tuberculosis Society

The corporars guard Of an audience
that assembled last night at the Grand
Opera House to hear the compliment
tary concert of the Delaware Saen-
gerbund for the benefit Of the Della
ware Anti tuberculosis Society was
well repaid. The audience was mostly
German. The Saengerbund as an or
ganization, is, and has been for years,
an unknown musical quantity publicly
considered For years the members
have congregated in German Hall on
East Sixth street, and sang solely for
their own and their trends amuse-
ments, the public as auditors being
rigidly excluded. Just why this ukaso
was put in force is only to be an
swered by the members themselves.
Just why the Saengerbund. which is
rated very high as a third-class musi-
cal organization, this rating being
given Il at the National meets of the
German singing organizations of this
country. should hide its talent and
usefulness under the roof of its club

The nightcap preparations Of the
chubby little quail are very interesting
Each evening the covey forms in a new

many dangers which make his life in

together a dozen Of his comrades, and
for a few minutes they all huddle to-

of the aviary a clear "Whew-bobwhiteT

band, this time perhaps to settle for
the night in the new place-a dense
circle of little forms, heads all facing

rest facing in every direction, so that
at the FIRST hint of danger from any
point of the compass the covey may
explode and go booming of In safety.

The woodpeckers sleep resting upon
their tails, even the fiickers invariably

the day the fickers spend much of
their time perching in passerine man

birds, such as thrushes and warblers,
sleep usually upon some small twig,
with heads tucked behind wings in
orthodox bird fashion, but they occa-
sionally vary this In a remarkable way

wires of their cages, sleeping apparent

their name from their custom Of sleep

Why Should He Be Selected as SAND

1t is said and believed by many that
all the blue jays disappear every Fri
day, ard not one can be seen until the

counted for by the statement that the
