and cold snap much anxiety was felt regarding
the safety of the birds, as their melodious
morning songs were suddenly silenced and
there were very few of them to be seen where
a few days before they had appeared in flocks
R. H. Mosher of Citypoint, who is a lover of
birds, can answer for the safety of seven blue
birds, and their snug refuge from the cold
serves to illustrate the wonderful instinct
given to these tiny creatures for their preser-

morning after the storm, Mr.. Mosher discover
ed knot hole in an apple tree and investigated
to see how large hollow there was in the tree,
when with CHEEKY chirp out flew blue bird,
then an other and another, until he counted
seven, each giving him bright little good
morning greeting as it flew away over his head.
