WAYS of the Butcher BIRD.

Some call 1t the butcher bird. but
the real name is shrike. 1t is one of
the oldest birds we have, because it
represents a creature that is changing
its type. Should you happen to walk
through the country and come across
a thorn tree with small garter snake
or mouse impaled on spike you
may know that a shrike is around.
Originally the bird was insectivorous
and spent its time eating grasshoppers
and such like. Somehow it got taste
of mouse or perhaps a smaller bird
that it killed in a fight 1t liked the
meal, and naturally the bill of fare
was extended to include mice, snakes
and lizards. Very foxy is the shrike.
1t had no talons to tear It's prey apart,
so it hit on the plan of impaling the
victim upon thorn, where it could
dine leisurely and on the installment
plan. The butcher bird is about nine
inches long and looks something like
hooking bird. - Philadelphia North

Pics as Watohdons.

In some parts Of Mexico the wild
hogs, which the natives call jabalis
(hah-bah-lee). savage beasts in their
natural state, are used at watchdogs.
II they are caught young and brought
up with goats they will go out into the
hills with the herd and fight off
coyotes or other wild animals; if they
are raised with chickens they will pro-
tect them, and round ranch house at
night they are as useful as any dog.
Although fierce by nature, they can
be tanned until they follow their mas
ter round like dog. The landlord Of
a hotel in one of the border towns
even keeps one of the wild hogs as
playmate for his baby son.
The jabali is only first cousin, how
ever, to the domestic pig. Swine are
divided into two main branches. In
one line is the farmers pig, descended
from the wild hog of Europe, and in
the other is the jabali, which is really
a peccary. But the jabali is quite
piggy enough with his small flexible
snout, long mottled bristles and long
sharp tuskS.

out that zillah was a demoniac, and
she was condemned to be burned, but

der rose tree full of red and white
roses. then first seen on earth since

From other sources it would appear
that the rose was first white, and the
Turks say it was colored with the blood
Of Mohammed and will never suffer
the flower to lie on the ground, while,
contrary to this, the Greeks hold that
it derived it's color from the blood of
Venus when she trod on a thorn Of
