Wild Bird Returns to Captivity.

Are birds able to think and remem.
Der where they have been we'll cared
for? A gentleman living in Leith is
in the habit Of feeding the birds which
frequent his garden during the winter
months. Some time in January. 1911,
he enticed a greenfinch to enter a
cage and so captured it. 1t was wear

In the following March he set it at
liberty, declares a correspondent of
The Scotsman. He was much sur

bird returned. On his cage being pre-

tentedly into it and settled comforta-
bly, down for the severe season. An
examination of the ring left no doubt
as to the identity of the bird.

Woman Doctors In siberia.

A number of influential Siberians
are petitioning the Ministry of Educa-
ton in st. Petersburg to allow women
to be admitted to the medical faculty
in the University of Tobolsk. The pc
titioners point out that there Is a
wide field for women doctors in ST.
IBERIA, where 1t is often difficult for
settlers to get medical aid.
There are many Mohammedans in
the country, and It is explained that
only women doctors can come to their
help in illness, as they do not permit
men to see their wives and daughters.
Many women have entered the medical
profession in Russia proper, and

sprIna showers in oId Garden.


ut is a rare delight to wander in
an old garden of late afternoon Just
after a shower, when the day has been
intensely hot and all Nature has fairly
thirsted for rain. The flowers have
dropped and the leaves curled for
want of moisture. Even the birds
have sought shelter from the fierce
rays of the sun, when, late in the aft
ernoon, suddenly, almost without
warning, the welcome rain descends.
A quick shower, soon over; and when
the sun comes out clear and bright
all unmindful Of the wet, you gather
your skirts about you and go into the
garden to watch the unfolding of the
wilted leaves. You liftshere and there
a fiower-stalk which the rain has beat
en- down; you wonder where the bees
have taken refuge from the sudden
downpour; you find one In the deep
cup of a lily. another In the depth OF
a gladiolus blossom; farther on you
see a rose which should have been
added to your rose Jar when you gath
cred in the morning. and as you grasp
and pull 1t from the stem, you feel
that sharp stab of pain that only the
sting of a bee can give, which tells
you that one has sought shelter in
the heart of a ose"-Rebecca B. Sim.

PATHos OF EATING OYSTERS
II Requires Great Moral Courage to
Think Of Swallowing One Of
the BlvaIves.

To me the practice of devourlng
any animal life in its entirety is, and
always has been, most difficult. The
terrible demand of the oyster is that
he be swallowed as a unit, with all
his hopes, his joys, his sorrows, his
love, his fears, and his ears and his
tears; the thought is appalling.

II Was Invented BY julius Draoatus.
a Roman Baker, In tho Year
177 B. G.

OF all candles, perhaps the "sugar
plum" boasts the most ancient line
age. It was The invention Of one Ju-
Illus Dragatus, noted Roman baker
and confectioner. a member Of the
family OF the Fabii
Dragatus put forth the first speci-
men Of this confection in the year 1T
b. G. The bonbons of this variety
were called dragati. after their inven-
tor (dragees is French), and their
manufacture constituted a monopoly
enjoyed exclusively by the Fabian
family. Whenever there was a birth
or a marriage in that family a great
distribution of dragati took place as
an evidence of rejoicing. This Gus
tom is still retained by certain of the
old noble families of Europe.
The pastile is Of far later origin.
II was invented and introduced into
France by an italian confectioner, the
Florentine Pastilla, a protege of the
Medici. When Maria de Medici mar
ried Henry Nv Of France Pastilla ac-
companied his royal patron to the
French court, where his bonbons soon
achieved tremendous vogue. Every
body ate the Florentine's candies.
They we're offered in all fiavors.
Burnt almonds are CONNECTION Of
purely French origin, owing their In
ception to the gluttony of French
merchant. One day. tradition has it,
Marshal Enthusiastically sent for Las

some dainties, and babe him concoct
new bonbon. Lassagne searched, re-
Elected, combined, until he finally hit
upon the CONNECTION of burnt almonds,
which were baptized with the name Of

THE VIEWS OF
YOUNG SUFFRAGETTES
No Opposing Arguments Ad.
VanCGd at All

Atlanta, May 6.-Suffragette lead
ers who were asked to seak at the
last meeting of the Saturday night
club, young mems organization, ar
gued their cause so eloquently thai
the young men who had prepared de-
bates opposing votes for women"
were compelled to admit themselves
yanquished, and the views of Miss
Alice Ormond, leader of New York
sutfragette squad, were endorsed By
the meeting.
Following the complete rout of the
men at this gathering, it is under
stood that the formation of a suffra
gette squad and possibly a marching
club, is contemplated by the suffra-
gette sympathizers here. This is the
first time in the history of Atlanta
that the women of the city have TAX
en- the slightest active interest in the
sutfragette movement. Now it bids
fair to become a live issue at the next
meeting of the legislature.
