BIRDS AS THEY SLEEP.
Quail Form a Dense Circle With All
Heads Facing Out.

Heads Facing Out.
The nightcap preparations of the
chubby little quail are very interesting
Each evening the covey forms in new
place, and this selection of the spot
entails serious efforts Bobwhite new
er quite loses remembrance of the
many dangers which make his life in
wild state one great fear. A white
throated male with soft clucks calls
together dozen of his comrades, and
for few minutes they all huddle to-
gether, but soon from the farther end
of the aviary a clear "Whew-bobwhitet
rings out, and off scurry the whole
band, this time perhaps to settle for
the night in the new place-a dense
circle of little forms, heads all facing
out, just as in their native stubble they
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 off in safety.
Poor little fellows. their wild life is
strenuous indeed Well for their race
that every nest holds from ten to eight
cen eggs instead OF three or four!
The woodpeckers sleep resting upon
their tails, even the fickers Invariably
following this custom, although during
the day the dickers spend much of
their time perching in passerine man.
ner, crosswise upon a twfg. Small
birds, such as thrushes and warblers,
sleep usually upon some small tw1g,
with heads tucked behind wings in
orthodox bird fashion, but they coca
sionally vary this in a remarkable way
by clinging all night to the vertical
wires of their cages, sleeping apparent
ly as soundly in this as in the usual
position of rest. A bluebird in a small
cage slept thus about one or two nights
out of each week. Any explanation of
this voluntary and widespread habit
among perching birds would be difficult
to suggest.
The little hanging parrakeets derive
their name from their custom of sleep
ing always in reversed position, and
when distributed over their roosting
tree they resemble some strange, pend
ant, green fruit rather than sleeping
birds.-Outing Magazine.

THE BLUE JAY.

Why Should He Be Selected as Sand
Bearer to Satan?
1t is said and believed by many that
all the blue jays disappear every Fri
day, and not one can be seen until the
next day, and this disappearance is &C.
counted for by the statement that the
birds are under q compact with Satan
and that they devote each Friday to
delivering him a supply OF sand to
heat his caldron at the point of tor
ture.
But why should the blue jay be select
ed as sand bearer to Satan when there
are SO many birds Of stronger and
1eeter wing? There are many super
stitions that have reasoning basis.
but this particular one has nothing
whatever to 70 on.
The origin Of It He's in the fact that
the blue jay Is a most particular home
builder. He knows how to buxId his
house, and he takes a great pride n 1t.
He doesn't hang his nest to a limb nor
glue it to tree.
Instead he selects a substantial fork
or crotch Of 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 I'm
ished it 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
strong and healthy brood. and the blue
jay COOS 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-
sponsibilities being over, he proceeds
with his career of gayety. verftable
practitioner Of rough fun and stage
humor.-Uncle Remus' Ma4Aline.
