Birds and Their Notes.

Most of US know the chickadee when
we hear him calling over and over.
"'Chick-a=dee. dee, dee, chick-a-dee, dee.
dee!' But when he sings his clear
whistling note. phoebe, Phoeberl" we
are likely to mistake him for the
phoebe bird, says an exchange. The
chickadee stays in the north in winter,
and the phoebe does not come north
till the early spring. The phoebe bird
sings its name over and over, a very
sweet, but penetrating sound. The
peabody bird says, Peabody, pea
body, peabody" over and over in a
rather senseless way. as if be went
round in a circle. Another bird that
sings his name is bob white (the quaiD,
only he often says. Poor bob white!'
His notes go up and down and are
stronger than the notes of the smaller
birds and may be heard at a long dis
lance. OF course those birds do not
really sing their names. But people
listening to them have fancied that
these names are what the notes sound
most like. and so they have given the
bird the name.-Exchange.

Why Languages Differ.

An interesting contribution to the
dis ussion of a universal language is
offered by the Montreal Family Her
aid.
The adoption of a universal Ian
guage. purely spoken by all who use
it, is made difficult by the fact that
there are physical differences of an i'm.
portant character betwee' the differ
ent races. The vocal organs are so un
like in different peoples hal a Ian
gudge originally uniform would soon
change in the mouths of the various
nations until they could no longer I'm.
de-stan6 one another. If the Italian
language could be aught TO all Chi
nese or Russians it would change SC
rapidly that in a few years no one
would recognize it as Italian. One
theory to account for this fact is that
the people in the chilly north speak
with the lips nearly closed and that
those who live in milder climates give
free articulation by opening the mouth

Pretty shrewd.

1t seems to be the aim of some peO-
pie to acquire a reputation for shrewd-
ness. which in many cases is only an
other name for roguery. Such people
take a delight in tricking their friends
as well as enemies. like the wealthy
old lady who occupied her leisure in
making patchwork quilts, which she
regularly donated TO the annual church
fairs. They were hideous things and,
as nobody would buy them. they were
apt to be ratified off in ignominous fash
ion at the close of the fair, much to the
chagrin of the old lady. One day. just
before the fair time. this old lady sent
for her lawyer and had him add a
codicil to her will. bequeathing $50 to
each and every person who should buy
aquiltat the church fair. The lawyer as
sured her that her injunctions to strict
secrecy should be faithfully observed,
but it was noticed that a sister of the
lawyer bought the silk quilt on the
very first day of the fair for six years
When the old lady died the lawyer
came smilingly forward with six quilts
and his sister to claim the sun of $50
But he was tricked in turn, as the old
lady had neatly cut the codicil from
the will,

no cash a chance to do their bit, in
this way, for instance. we will have to
buy things every week or so for the

of the country who have no cash can
at least donate say couple Of doz-
ems OF fresh eggs-1 to pounds Of
butter-a few quarts Of fresh cream
dressed chicken or more, ETC., which
the town folks will be only too glad
to buy at a coed price, and in turn,
the merchants can donate nails
fence staples-cream separator oil
gloves-and such foods as the country
folks must have, which in turn will
sell very readily, and thus all can
add bit more to the war funds. What

When nurses first went over- seas they had nothing but the bare barracks, no little hooks to go to for rest and recreation. The barracks were like prisons. In many places there are now hostess houses for the nurses.
 When the French authorities saw what the hostess houses were doing for the American women, they wanted the same thing done for the French wo- men.
 And so the work is growing and will continue. When the men went into this war, the wo- men followed.
 The women stand behind the men and furnish the spirit to fight. When we help these wo- men, we are helping the men.
