TREE MOUSE.

No doubt you think you can do won
ders since you've learned to turn hand
springs, Master Ned, but there's a lit
tie white breasted bird that hops about
ON our trees every morning that can
give you or any little boy l know Of
points in exercising.
The name of the bird? Well, some
people call him tree mouse, and 9TH
ers call him nuthatch. He is part
blush gray, part black and part white.
He does not look much like mouse to
me, but the way he can run up and
down the limbs of trees, hanging now
to the underside or running along head
downward, makes one think of q fly.
The little nuthatch Is .One of our win.
ter birds, for he does not leave us
when cold weather comes, as so many
Of our birds do.
You see, his food can be picked up
nearly all the year round. He is one of
those birds that get the worms from
under the bark, and grubs and insect
eggs are delicious morsels to him.
The little nutL..tch is thrifty bird
Like the squirrel in the fall. he lays
away store OF food for hard times.
When cold weather comes he goes to
the tree in q crack Of which he may

is so fond and draws out nut. Beech.

shells of these with his long. sharp bill
in short time. Then, cooking his little

Old Lord Mayors eanquets.

There used to be a good deal Of saw
agery about London's lord mayors
banquets, even in times comparatively
recent. The humber guests at least
struggled with each other for food and
had to bring their own table cutlery if
they wished to eat decently and In
comfort. For instance, Samuel Pepys
tells us how, at the banquet served up
two years after the restoration, there
were many tables. "but none In the
hall but the mayors and the lords Of
the privy council that had napkins or
knives. which was very strange"
Still more strange to such a lover of
female beauty as Pepys was the plain
ness Of feature of the city danes
OF the ladies' room he says: II could
not discern one handsome face.
Being wearied with looking upon a
company of ugly women, went away
and took coach and through Cheapside
and there saw the pageants. which
were very silly"

Rooks on 4 Shalt.

Books are frequently ruined through
carelessness. This is less in the han.
ding often than upon the shelves
Books should not be packed tightly on
shelf. 1t ruins the back and causes
them to tear loose with the strain of
getting in and out. Often it forces the
leaves to sag to the shelf when pushed
unduly. 1t is just as bad for books to
be too loose on shelf. as they warp.
and the spreading leaves encourage
dust. A bookcase with the contents
at every angle is not pleasant
sight. There are some housekeepers
who think yearly busting of the
books at housecleaning time sufficient.
This is bad enough when they are
kept under glass. When ON open
shelves it means ruin to valuable
hooks. 1t takes little longer to dust
the backs and tops OF books on each
shelf every day. Use a soft cheese.
cloth or silk duster and shake it FIRE.

recommendation made to the Ameri-

1t became known today that the al

Europe with every ship that sails.
This plaA eliminates the necessity for
the concentration of enormous masses
of men at one place, and the crippling
of food and munitions ships which car
ry them.
The allies want the modified ma
tional guard units because of their
border service. They would go to the
western front to complete their train
ing and become familiar with the
sound of big guns, and would thus be
ready for service in a short time.
France, in a strong way, formally
urged this action and Great Britain
