Woman Surgeon for Birds.

y New York woman has adopted
the strange profession of surgeon
and doctor for all kinds of. birds
says the Adventure Magazine. She
makes a close study of bird ailments
and performs skillful operations on
her feathered charges. Among
the complaints for which she has
successfully treated bird patients arg
rheumatism. fever and indigestion.
Her skill is so generally recog
nized that people from all parts OF
America send their pet birds to her
for treatment. During the Summer
too. many families while on holiday
send their birds to her.
a complete bird hospital has been
esta blished by this woman and one
room is specially set apart for deli
cate surgical operations. Several
hundreds of different birds are to be
found in the hospital during the
Summer, and all kinds of devices
have been provided to keep them in
good spirits. There is even a gramo-
phone, to which the feathered in
mates are very fond of listening.

June Dedicated to Hymen.

From the Adventure Magazine.
The first people to adopt the month
OF June as sacred to Hymen, the god
Of marriage, were the ancient Romans,
VINO considered this the most propi.
tious season Of the year for entering
upon matrimonial relations. The Ro.
mans held that June weddings were
likely to be happier than alliances con-
tracted in any other month of the
year, especially if the day chosen
were that Of the full moon or the con-
junction of the sun and moon.
They also held that Of all the
months, May was the most avoided, as
in that month newlyweds would come
under the influence of spirits adverse
to happy households.
The word wedding" Is derived from
the ancient Anglo-Saxon word wed
--custom-the we'd consisted of a
gift. including ring, usually given
by the bridegroom to the bride. At
the marriage ceremonies In those days
the father Of the bride presented his
son-in-law with one of his daughters
shoes as a token Of the transfer of
authority, and the bride was struck
sharply on the head by her new
spouse with the pedal weapon as q
reminder that he was henceforth her
boss" The tying of old shoes on
the back of the carriage or auto that
bears the newlyweds away from the
church door today is a survival of
this ancient custom.

Salmon Returns Home to Die,

All salmon with minor exceptions
are anadromous, which is to say they
spend most Of their lives in the sea
but lay their eggs In the gravel of
fresh-water streams. supposedly in
the stream wherein they were Matched
two to six years previously. At
the end of their sea career and before
they are ready to die they return to
their native stream, spawn, and in
most cases die. All salmon, however.
do not die after spawning. though it
has been established that certain of
the best known types have been
known to do so.
