have poor vision or perhaps he spent
all his timo in the shopping district
where. to be frank. the display of an.

are striving to be beautiful of course
will feel downcast over tho unnrtistic
picture that Mr.. Dickens frames. Our
ladies are accustomed to reduce their
weight or increase their avoirdupols,
as the case may be, to become more
Venuslike. but nobody yet has ever nd

QUEER TRIO OF BIRDS
rRUMPETER, SECRETARY AND
KAMICHI ALL USEFUL.
Feathered Destroyers Of Snakes,
Scorpions and Other Noxious Cres-
lures That Infest South Amer
lea and Southern Africa.

The trumpeter bird is the ragpicker
I the woods and swamps OF Guiana,
6here he is always at work at his
trade, with his stomach for a pack
and his bill for a hook. He performs
a most useful but most extraordinary
service, devouring a perfect multitude
Of snakes, frogs, scorpions, spiders, liz
ards and tho like creatures. But this
terrible bird can be made perfectly
tame.
On the Guiana plantations he may be
seen fraternizing with the chickens,
ducks and turkeys, accompanying them
in their walks, defending them from
their enemies, separating quarrelers
with strokes of his bill, sustaining the
young and the feeble and waking the
echoes with his trumpet while he
brings home his flock at night.
The trumpeter ls as handsome as he
Is useful. Noble and naughty in his
aspect, he raises himself up on his
long, yellow gathered legs and seems
to say, 81 am the trumpeter, the
scourge Of the reptiles and the pro.
tector Of the hocks.'
In southern Africa there Is another
great exterminator Of reptiles, the
snake eater, Or secretary bird. a mag
nillcent creature that attacks the
largest serpents, making a shield Of
his wings and a sword of his beak,
The name Of secretary bird" is de,
rived from the plumes projecting
backward from It's head, which look
like quill pens carried behind ones
ear,
In South America, In the very neigh
borhood Of the trumpeter's home, there
lives the Kamichi or kamiki, which
wears a sharp horn projecting from
It's forehead and a murderous spur
upon each Of its wings. With these
three weapons the serpents that he at
tacks are powerless against him and
are easily put to death.
The secretary bird, the Kamichi and
the trnmpcter form q valiant and use
full trio. The trumpeter has two mer.
Its above the others-the ease with
which he can be domesticated and his
musical talent.
The natives have a saying that he
has swallowed a cornet. Whether
p%romenading or war making, he fills
the air with his trumpet calls, and at
the sound of his voice of brass the
reptiles take to flight.
