Instinct Of 5Iaokbirds.

While residing In the country some
years ago and walking out one evening,
found nest Of young blackblrds.
The young birds were almost dedged.
Taking them home with me, put them
in a cage and the next morning hung
them out under tree, and In about an
hour saw the old birds at the cage,
evidently delighted to find their young.
The old birds came regularly every
two hours and fed them with worms
and grubs. This continued for two
days, the old birds trying all In their
power TO get the young ones out. On
the third day noticed the old birds
bring a berry, which they gave the
young ones, two of which died that
evening and the rest next day. The
old birds then left off coming. The
berries on examination proved to be
the seeds of the Atropa belladonna or
deadly nlghtshade. This convinced me
Of what l had heard about these birds
destroying their young If allowed to
feed them in imprisonment, l am told
that other birds have the same instinct.

Sincerity In Art.

Only an honest book can live; only
absolute sincerity can stand the test
Of time. Any selfish or secondary mo-
tive vitlates n work Of art, as 1t viii
ates religious life. Indeed, I doubt
II we fully appreciate the literary
value Of the stable, fundamental hui
man virtues and qualities-probity, d.
rectness, simplicity, sincerity, love-
There are just as much room and need
for the exercise Of these qualities in
the making of book as In the build
ing Of house or In business career
How conspicuous they are In all the
enduring books-in Bunyan, in Walton,
in Defoe, In the Blblel It Is they that
keep alive such n book as 1.-TWO Years
Before the Mast" which Stevenson
pronounced the best sea story In the
language, as It undoubtedly is.-John

John Galsworthy, the English play
wright, tells of the wit of an actor
named Littledale, who In one play had
to leap into river TO escape n wild
beast.
"The stage was 80 arranged that the
river was invisible Llttledale's leap
usually ended on soft mattress In
the wings, while a rock was dropped
into n tub Of water to create a splash.
Everything went on all right at re-
hearsal and the night of actual per.
Torrance came When poor Littledale
jumped he fell eight feet and landed
on an oaken floor with crash.
"The audience set up litter But
the heroic Littledale was quite equal
to the occasion. Heavens he shout

London, July l4-The British, at
dawn today, broke through the German
positions on a four-mile front north OF
the River Somme, capturing several
trongly defended localities. ard many
prisoners and guns
This announcement was mace ay sne
London war office this afternoon.
The British attacked the second sys.
tenn Of German defenses and heavy
lighting continues.
A Reuter- dispatch reports that the
British have captured Tongueyal, Ba-
zentin-le-Grand and the Trones woods.
Many Of the guns taken by the Brit.
lish bear dates Of 1875. and this is
taken as an indication that the Ger
lmans are hard pressed for war ma
chinery, as they are pressing into
service cannon of such an ancient
type.
The British offensive on the Ger
mans second line was resumed after
one day OF artillery preparation, which
caused much surprise in the ranks Of
the kaisers men.
Later in the day it was reported
that the British had gained much
ground east of Contalmaison.
The force Of the uriye apparently
lis directed chiefly to the northeast
toward the British objective Of Da.
Ipaume, along the great flank in the
Montauban region.
If reports are true that the British
have captured Longuevale and Basen-
ftin-Ie-Grand, the English now have
possession of the important roads
which the Germans have been using
for supplies.
The French are preparing to resume
the offensive south of Somme. The
Germans have not followed the bonn
bardment in the Fort Souville region,
near verdun, with further infantry at
tacks. The French report repuIsing
the Germans north of the River Aisne.
