CLEVER BIRDS AND ANIMALS
Magpies and Cats Possess Unusual IN
telIect-Interestine Tale OF
Kitten and Tom Cat.

Magpies are as clever as they are
noisy. One was offered an extingulsh-
ed cigar stump which 1t began to tear
apart. But apparently changing It's
mind, the bird proceeded to rub the
stump, held in it's beak, over every
part OF its body, including the wings.
in a most careful and methodical man
ner. The experiment was subsequent
ly repeated many times, always with
the same result. The magpie Is so
fond Of tobacco that it repeatedly has
snatched lighted cigar from mans
hand against his will. 1t also picks
up fallen cigar ashes and strews them
over it's feathers.
1t is thought that these actions
have a purpose, the destruction of par
asites, and are determined by atavism,
or inherited instinct. In the Wild
state some unidentified plant must
have been used as an insecticfde IN
stead Of tobacco. The magpie's action.
furthermore, seems to be an unques-
tionable instance of the use of tools
by lower animal.
Cats, too, are famously clever. A
kitten about six months old was taken
to a house a few miles from its birth
place, confined in a room, and tender
ly cared for during a week, and then
set at liberty. 1t was supposed TO
have become accustomed to its new
surroundings, but it returned to Its
old home on the day of its release.
The sense of locality and direction
was exhibited still more strikingly by
an old tom cat which was stolen and
carried q distance of 20 miles, con-
fined in a bag. The cuJ was imprison-
ed. but made it's escape, and In few
days reappeared in a pitiable state
at the home Of its former master.
which was separated from that OF the
thief by high wooded cliff.

"Dou DAYS."

The first of the Canicular, or Dog
Days. is so called from the ancient
custom of sacrificing brown dog to
appease the wrath of Sirius as soon as
that star became visible to the naked
eve. Sirius was supposed to cause the
hot sultry weather usually attendant
on it's appearance. and the ancients
believed that on the first morning OF
its rising the sea boiled. wine turned
sour, dogs grew mad and that man be-
came afflicted with burning fevers.

is a vegetable country, but this year
on account of the drouth there are
not many on the market. The recent

to give old time low prices. Carrots
are selling at two for cents; onions

Care Of Lawn Mower.

Lawn mowers are self-sharpening,
and when they do not cut the grass
properly, it is because the screws need
setting, and not because the blades are
dull To make the lawn mower cut
smoothly, adjust the screws on the
side of the stationary knife or blade.
Loosen the front screw and tighten
the back screw, so that the front sharp
edge of the stationary blade will be
raised closer to the rotary blades.
Then, if the lawn mower is still not
sharp enough also tighten the screws
that fasten the rotary blades, so that
they will be lowered closer to the sta
tionary blade. To illustrate, a pair of
scissors whose screw is loose will not
cut, but tighten the screw, thereby
bringing the blades together, and the
scissors will cut again. Do not sharp

To make clear fruit jellies far super
ior to the old method of cooking the
fruit. Late in the afternoon take the
fruit, currants, strawberries, or any
kind of fruit, place in large wooden
bowl and mash we'll with the hands,
add half as much water as juice ex-
tracted. Let stand over night. In the
morning the juice will have collected
on top clear as crystal. Pour off the
juice leaving sediment in bowl which
may be made into jam. Add hot sugar
to the juice. Heat the juice before adj
ding sugar. Boil for twenty minutes
and pour into scalded jelly glasses. Seal
with paraffin. This method is quicker,
makes a clearer jelly than the old way
