up all the shells. He meekly went to
work, and into basket which the man

CARBON BIRDS OF
AFRICA ARE GREEDY
Blacken Sky Before Hunt
er's Bullet Kills Prey.


No description can convey to one
who has not seen 1t anything approach
Ing q full idea OF the numbers and
prompt efficiency of the buzzards and
kites and other carrlon birds OF
Africa.
One shoots a zebra, say, for the
safari dinner. Before the echoes OF
the shot have died, while the zebra yet
staggers In his tracks, black dots In
the heavens are dropping with folded
wings to the spot and from miles
around literally hundreds of others,
observing the first, are fastening
toward the focus of interest.
BY the time the men have finished
skinnlng the zebra and cutting out the
desirable meat the little group on the
plains is surrounded on all sides.
Hundreds of the great birds have
gathered on the ground in a close
drawn ring as near as they have
daredsometimes as close as 20 or 80
feet. They hop In ungainly impatience
and they all Lold their wings half out
spread In readiness. Many hundreds
OF others, whose Judgment of the
strategic position so advises them. soar
In short circles few score yards over
head.
So many are they that they actually
almost obscure the sky and 50 crowd
ed that when one pauses to listen one
can hear the stiff harsh scrape of
pinions as they jostle one another. And
from all points Of the heavens more
are eagerly Fastening.
The meat distributed, the little band
Of men withdraws, leaving carcass
stripped Of skin and the best of the
meat, to be sure, but still recognize
able dead zebra. Then the birds swoop.
They drop like plummets checking
their fall only at the last instant by a
spread of the wings; they rise from
the circle round about and beat fran
tfcally across the little intervening
space. The roar of air through the
pinion feathers is like great water
fall
The place where lies the zebra dis
appears beneath heaving fighting
brown mass, tossing like tide rips of
the sea. A myriad of those just too
late shove and crowd and flop and
sQuawk around the periphery. There
are generally a few philosophers who
realize their hardness sufficiently to
stand to one side in disgruntled dis
appointment.
And then, while one still looks, the
tossing and the heaving die down.
The great birds draw sullenly to one
side or flop heavily to roost on the
nearby trees Where only few sec.
onds ago zebra lay on the plains,
now are only the bones Of skeleton.
cleaned white and smooth.
It Is incredible. The waiting jackals,
venturing in at last, must gain only
the satisfaction Of smell--and very
little of that. -Saturday Evening Post.

Slowly from the water there came
big head and wide open mouth.
Hans remembered the story Of Jonah
and the whale and tried to unwind the
fishing line from his wrist. but before
he could do so the huge fish caught the
line In its mouth and jerked poor Hans
into the water.
Turning around, the big fish began
to swim away, dragging Hans behind
him at furious rate Of speed. The

his view as they dashed along. Hans
remembered afterwards, though he

Comfort of Bed Depends
on Making It Properly

Do you know how to make a bed
so that it looks neat and is comfort
able to sleep in? 1t is an art worth
learning, says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. First,
straighten the mattress pad so that it
lies smooth and without wrinkles.
Over this, spread the under sheet,
right side up, with the wide hem at
the head and the center of the sheet
to the center of the bed. The comfort
of a bed depends in a large measure
on tucking in the under sheet so Sc
curely that it remains smooth and
straight. Making mitered n is
one of the best ways of doing this,
and any person who has had nurses
training can quickly show you how
to make them. Next, put on the upper
sheet, right side down and allowing
for a generous turnover at the head,
tuck it in at the foot, using mitered
orner Then, put on the blankets so
that their top edge comes about nine
inches below the head of the bed, turn
the upper sheet back and tuck in all
edges. Last of all, put on the spread,
draw 1t smooth and straight, and ar
range the pillows.

Good Prune Relish for
Roast Mutton or Lamb

Fruit relishes, especially those which
are spiced or slightly tart, are excel
lent with roast mutton or lamb, and
also very palatable when cold sliced
meat is served. Equal parts of raisins
and prunes may be used in the recipe
below if preferred. The recipe is
recommended by the United States
Department of Agriculture.
Boil together n cupful of prunes
cut in small pieces, n and one-half
cupfuls of water, three tablespoonful
of ugar, one-eighth t%easpoonful OF
salt and one-half teaspoonful Of
ground cinnamon until the prunes are
soft, then add two t~ablespoonfuls Of
currant jelly and the juice of one
fourth lemon while still hot. Let
stand until cold.

KEEP EGGS
IN GOOD CONTAINERS
Keeping Quality Affected in
Various Ways.

prepared by the United States Depa rtment
OF Agriculture)
AS 0 as eggs are brought from
n poultry yard or the market, they
should be sorted, and any cracked or
soiled ones removed for immediate
use, advises the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture in a new Farm
ers Bulletin, 1874, entitled care Of
Food in the Home"
The keeping quality of eggs is seri-
ouSly affected by rough handling,
changes In temperature, dampness,
dirt on the shells, unclean surround
ings, and fertility. Fertile eggs tend
to spoil more quickly than those that
are infertile, for eve room tempera-
ture 40 degrees F.) aids the deved-
opment of the embryo in a fertile
egg. Eggs, therefore, are best kept
in a covered %container in q dry, clean
place where the temperature is not
above 60 degrees f. All eggs should
be washed, but not until just before
using, because water removes the pro-
tectiye film on the shell that binders
evaporation, the entrance of bacteria,
and the absorption of odors. Preserv-
ing eggs for home use in water glass
potassium or sodium silicate) Or in
lime solution is a good way to care for
any surplus when eggs are plentiful.
The department will supply informa-
ton as to how to do this by either
method. Fresh, clean, unwashed, in
fertile eggs should be used for this
purpose, and they should not be left
in the p~reservative for more than a
year. Eggs preserved in water glass
or other solution should be rinsed
with water and wiped dry before be-
ing opened, but eggs should not be
washed before being put into the
preservative. If such eggs are cooked
in the shell, a small hole should be
pricked in the large end before put
ting them into the hot water; other
wise the shell is likely to crack, for
pores have been sealed by the
preserving solution.
