Eng1and's Royal Bird

portia says, in the Merchant of Venice,
He makes a swRn-like end. fading in
music"
A hundred other poets have used similar
expressions. and yet naturallsts declare
that the swan does not make any music
in dying, though it may make a noise.
And these same naturalists aver that the
great vocal powers of swans are due to a
special sounding apparatus formed by
the coiling of the long trachea (wind-
pipe) within the sternum" (breastbone).
The crane, whose trumpet-call, when a
flock is setting off for long, high flight,
can be heard from above the clouds.

The swan is famous for its longevity.
II is said TO live 100 years. and there is al
least one recorded instance of a bird in
captivity living seventy years. 1t is Ion

to some authorities, the goose keeps we'll

There are no birds that live longer. but
elephants and whales are credited with
century or more of life. while pike and
carp are said to attain $50 years.

world where large flocks of swans are

The presence of wild swans in America
was a delightful surprise to some OF the
earlier settlers. and they inspired what
many have regarded as the most beauti-
ful landscape picture in American poetry,

This seems great deal of honor to
pay to "a bird, but the swan is worthy of
its distinction. for all over the world It is
the recognized type of grace, beauty and
dignity in the feathered kingdom.
There is an air OF legendary mystery
about the swan Some swans are mute,
bur most have sonorous voices OF sur
prising power and reach. Poetic tradi-
ton declares that the swan sings in dy-

to indicate the last effort OF a poet

For breakfast eat all that appetite de-
mands, but choose food easily digested.

broiled fish are all suitable breakfast
dishes.
No matter what the weather or your
occupation, spend a part of the morning
out Of doors Make the early part of the
day the busiest. Lunch at / o'clock
should be light, but nourishing. Soup,
preferably one made with cream, a vege
table with cream or butter sauce, a light
dessert of stewed fruit or custard and a

Household Hints.

An oven that is constantly In use re-
quires to be kept scrupulously clean. 1t
should not only have the shelves scrubbed
out with soda occasionally, in addition
the shelves should be painted with quick
lime two or three times year. An oven
treated in this way never becomes caked
with grease. and there is no unpleasant
/ smell when it is being used.
All wooden buckets and washtubs,
when not in use, should have about two
inches of water left in them. This is
especially necessary when they are made
OF jointed wood. as it prevents them from
becoming too dry, and the wood from
shrinking so that they leak.
Brown boots and shoes that have stains
and spots on them may be renovated by
rubbing them with piece of flannel
dipped in methylated spirits, leaving them
| to dry before polishing.
To remove stains from white flannel
shirts and similar things, smear with
equal parts of yolk of egg and glycerine.
Leave for an hour and wash in the usual
way.
Should an extra polish be required on
an old CRATE first rub the bars with
piece of lemon, after which they will take
black lead better and polish more easily.
Allow cabbage water 10 get quite cold
before pouring out. You will find 1t will
leave no unpleasant smell behind, as II
does when 1t is poured away hot.
When boiling green peas add a lettuce
leaf and a tablespoonful of sugar, and
they will retain their color and have a
much better flavor.
The more water used in boiling cab
bages, greens, etc, the less Objectionable
will be the smell given out by them. A
piece of bread. tied in muslin and boiled
with the cabbage, also mitigates the
smell. II should. however, be removed
after fifteen minutes boiling and burnt.
II a room becomes filled with smoke,

is sufficient for the purpose
Grass stains may be removed from

NATURE MYsTERN

Perhaps the strongest impulse OF
instinct to be found in nature is that
exhibited by the salmon in spawning
time. On the. northern Pacific coasts
of the United States Canada, Alaska
and Siberia, where these fish abound,
they annually make their desperate
dashes up the great rivers, some of
them ], 500 to 1900 miles in length,
in search of suitable spawning
grounds. Nothing seems to stop the
mad rush of the fish.
Leaping the falls, needless of birds,
bears, minks, offers and other wild
beasts which prey on them in addi-
ton to mans wholesale slaughter,
the males who become quite savage
at this time, fighting desperately
among themselves.
When the spawning grounds have
been reached and the eggs laid the
fish are so weak from exhaustion
that they are unable to protect them
selves, for they take no nourishment
whatever after leaving salt water,
and, drifting down with the current,
they fall easy prey to the enemies of
their kind, or die of exhaustion before
reaching the sea.
1t is one of the u1solved mysteries
of nature that these fish should thus
inevitably sacrifice themselves in
their first season of reproduction.
