PLEASANT MEMORIES

Farther up the hill stood an old
house, known to all as BLEAK House.
so named not from any relation to
Dickens story, but because its posi-
ton exposed it to all the winds from
whatever quarter they blew Half
way down the hill to the village was
a curiosity in architecture, an octa-

away the antiquarian of the family
took delight in an old cemetery with
its ancient lettering and spelling, the
headstones bearing the skull and cross
bones carved upon them.
Our hostess, too, was a constant di-

passed over her head, but, in spite of

still youthful in look and manner.
Her black hair was barely streaked

very intelligent. He seemed to I'M

presence. He had a habit 1t one time
of driving the hens from their nests
and taking the new-laid eggs to the
house in his mouth. For this he was
whipped, and apparently had reform

The BILE LAY.

The blue jay is dtsturber of city
suburbs from New England as far west
as Ohio. the Ohio State Journal say
ing that they are near home every
morning and evening up in the big
trees. filing the air with their wild
and hideous noises. Theirs is the worst
bird song in the world. 1t would chord
handsomely with the filing of a saw.
In his book on ORTHODOXY, Alex
ander Wilson says: Wherever the jay
has had advantage of an education
from man he has shown himself to be
an apt scholar Which observation
makes US wonder if that shrill, dis
cordant voice he gets from man, or
does it represent a composite of all
the noises that civilized society greets
him with? ?"
And why does the blue jay haunt the
suburbs of all cities? Is it not be-
cause of the laws which prevent shoot
ing in the city limits and which give
him greater security. The jay is an
observing bird and he certainly has
the sense to seek the zone of least
danger With thousands of hunters in
New England licensed to shoot, and
thousands of boys who prowl about
the country near the cities harassing
birds at all seasons of the year, it is
not strange that a bird as cute as the
jay marks the safer sections and pre-
fers them. The yawp of the blue jay
is now being heard in all the cities
Of New England where there are shell
tering and inviting trees.
