 In February and March, when Eu- rope is at peace, the fashion of five continents is seen on parade in Cairo This year social life, save that of the Arab quarter, is as dead as the grin ing mummy of Rameses the Great in the museum.

GA. c. Tyndall in Our Dumb Animals)


 Such birds as parrots and parakeets and cockatoos may often be kept oc- cupied and amused after showing signs of a restless mood, by giving them some small object to play with "a piece of stick or clothespin or anything which might serve as a toy will do, but care should be taken that they are not offered anything which might prove injurious if swal- lowed, since birds in a state of con- finement do not, it would seem, al- ways exercise their natural instincts in rejecting that which is harmful to them
 Many bird owners maintain that to allow bird out of a cage for exer- else and such diversion as it can find in Hitting around in wider spaces. is to cause restlessness when the bird is in the cage: but the writer has always found that without some such liberty being afforded, they become dull and depressed in spirits apparently, or showed a tendency to feeding more heavily than was good for them just. it would appear, as a means of killing time.'
 Birds, especially parrots and cocka- toos, are often very amusing in their ways of finding diversion for them selves when furnished with the

Berlin News FALLS THIRTY FEET
 ! WHILE FIGHTING FIRE But Frank Day is Uliljued-- -Oest- mans House Burned to Ground. ANNIVERSARY OF CHURCH FIRE

Interesting Coincidence ill Connection
 With Last Nights Blaze-Lyceum to
 Have Debate on Reduction ill
 Postal Rates.
 While fighting the disastrous fire which completely destroyed the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Oestman in Kensington late last night, Frank E. Day, one of the volunteer firemen, fell distance of thirty feet as the ladder upon which he was standing broke suddenly under the weight of five men. His fall was broken by Paddle Malley, upon whom he fell, and fortunately he suffered no fur ther injuries than a bruise on his head.
 Nothing remains of the Oestman s43ttage today but a smoldering heap off ruins. According to the owner, the total loss, including the furniture amounts to $3,000, all. of which is covered by insurance
 Mrs Oestnan was alone in the house when the fire broke out. She had just retired when she detected the odor of burning wood and, get ting up to investigate, she found volumes of smoke pouring down tho stairway from upstairs. She hurried over to N A. Pelletier's house nearby 10 spread the alarm. Instructing his wife to phone the fire warden and others for help, MT. Pelleter began lighting the flames with the assistance off Charles Gullong and Frank Day, who appeared on the scene at the Sarne time.
 With one of MT. Pelletier's ladders they reached the roof and, climbing apsto the side of the chimney, chopped hole in the shingles. They found that tae blaze was in the other part of the attic and consequently broke through the roof at that end, but all 100 late. The flames had ,ai!lcd too much headway.
 By that time Fire Warden Ritchie and a crowd of volunteers had ar rived and a bucket brigade was inn nlediately formed. Famed by the strong wind the fire gained steadily, however, and, perceiving that the houses of Henry Colby and MT. Pel- ietfer were threatened, some of the laen directed their efforts towards keeping them out of danger, while ,thers occupied themselves in carry ing out furniture from the doomed structure
 Despite the fact that the roof of the Colby place was soaked with water the shingles caught fire and for g time it looked as though this house would also be razed by the flames. A tnfrty-two foot ladder, which had been procured from MT. Pelletier, was hoisted and Frank Day and four others sprang up on it. Young Day
