VALUABLE AS HONEY FINDER
to the Natives and Protected

One of the most sagacious of birds
Is certainly the bee cuckoo, or moroc,
little bird very like the English
S3arrow.
Il is found in various parts of Afri-
ca Where wild bees abound, and, being
unable to help itself to the honey,
which is its favorite food, it resorts
to human aid
Having discovered a swarm of bees.
it flies to the nearest habitation, and
attracts by its cries of "Cherr, cherr
cherr," the attention of some of the
natives. 1t then flies off in the direc-
ton of the nest, uttering its cry and
waiting for its followers to overtake
it. Should they be tardy it returns
to meet them, and seems as if trying
to urge them on to greater speed, the
natives answering it with low whis-
tie.
Arrived at its destination, it is 81
lent, waiting patiently on the bough
of a neighboring tree while it's hui

them for their feathered guide.

and always prevent travellers from
shooting it,

The Blue Bird.

When nature made the blue bird she
wished to propitiate both the sky and
the earth, so she gave him the color
of one on his back and the hue Of the
other on his breast, and ordained chat
his appearance in spring should de-
note tat the strife and war between
these two elements was at an end He
is the peace harbinger; in him the ce-
lestial and the terrestrial strike hands.
and are fast friends. He means the
furrow and ne means the warmth; he
means all the soft, waving influences
of the spring on the one hand, and the
retreating footsteps of winter on the
other After you have seen the blue
bird you will see no more cold, no
more snow, no more winter He brings
soft skies and the rudy brown of the
fields. 1t is sure to be bright March
morning when you first hear his note.
and it is as if the milder influences up
above had found voice and let a
word fall upon the ear, so tender is
it and SO prophetic hope tinged with
a regret.-John Burroughs.
