EASY TO TEACH BLAckBIRD
10 Natural ImItator and Responds
Quickly to TraInIng-lts Mem-
Dry Strong.

The DlacKbird, which belongs to the
thrush family, has strong initiative
pow ers, and has even been taught to
speak. There is not much variety in
Its natural song, but its voice has a
pure, flute-hke tone and full volume.
The bird is very susceptible Of being
trained, and when reared by hand
from. the nest Is capable Of forming
strong attachments and makes itself
a great favorite.
When a blackbird II six or eight
st weeks cid, his training should be be-
gun. Take him to q quiet room away
from any other birds, and each night
and morning whistle the portion Of
he tune you wish him to learn, OF
play 1t on the flute. Feed him before
you begin, and put fat, lively worm
where he can see It. After you have
Hhistled or played the air, say TWEEN
ty times, stop, 80 that the bird may
have an opportunity OF Initiating 1t.
II he should make the attempt, give
him the worm at once, praising and
caressing him meanwhile. He will
soon begin to see why q reward was
given to him, and will not be slow in
trying to earn 1t. When once he has
learned the tune he will never forget
It. and 1t win pass into and become
part Of his song.
After the blackbird has completed
his education, he should be placed
near some other singing bird, whose
notes he would soon learn and blend
with his own.
Put his cage out Of doors whenever
the weather permits, and he will tell
you how pleased you have made him
But during the hot days Of summer
let him be well shaded and kept cool
as heat and dry air seem to affect his
voice. He will begin to sing In the
end Of February or the beginning Of
March. and will continue until the fall.
II the summer IL not too hot.

SOME FACTS ABOUT SLEEP
Caused by Withdrawal CT Blood
From the Brain, Says Mo Tern
Physiology.

All the organs OF life rest in sone
way or other. The heart has an in
terval of rest between each combined
act Of contraction and expansion and
the beginning Of fresh act. Be-
tween each expiration of the lungs
and the succeeding inspiration there
is a period Of repose. Psychologists
have calculated that the heart re-
poses during about one-fourth of the
time.
Certain of the other organs suspend
their activity in part during sleep.
Old psychologists supposed that sleep
was caused BY the pressure of the
blood on the brain. But modern
physiology, with a tendency to regard
the brain as the origin of all force
and Of all functions of the body, in.
clines to the view that sleep is
caused by withdrawal of blood from
the brain.
AS rule, the larger the brain the
more sleep 1t requires. Webster went
to bed at nine o'clock and rose at
five. General Grant used to say, dur
Ing his campaigns, 81 can 10 moth
ing without nine hours sleep"
A curious trait has marked men of
large brain-that of sleeping at will.
Bonaparte used to throw himself on
the ground and go to sleep within
space Of two minutes. Pitt was a
sound sleeper, and slept night after
night in the house Of commons while
his colleagues watched the debate
and reused him when It was necea-
sary that he should speak.
