The magpie, which is quite common
on the plains and mountains of the
West, has many excellent qualities
and as many bad ones. AS an insect
eater the magpie surpasses the crow
and all other members of the same
family. Destructive weevils, caterpil-
lars and grasshoppers characterize its
insect food. which forms nearly 81
per cent of its diet. The magpie also
eats limited number of small ro-
dents, and as a carrion feeder it does
additional good. The maybe has,
however, some outstanding faults. II

Interesting Light on
Old Labor Conditions

parallels between labor conditions

Is an agreement entered into by the
Sardis union of building artisans and
the artisans of the city.
Some of the most interesting provi-
sions are as follows:

Scorched Feet, but
SQUIRREL Got Nuts

This may not be the time OF year
for nature stories, but here's one al
ready made. The little girl and her
brother had tanned a squirrel. Every
morning he came to their house for
breakfast of some sort. One day the
little girl started to market and the
squirrel companionably went along
with her. Into the very store ne
scrambled after her, much to the
amusement and surprise of the pro-
prietor, and of the customers.
They began to throw nuts for the
little fellow and he scrambled after
them eagerly. A poorly aimed shot
suddenly went into the wide-open door
of the low stove and like flash the
little animal jumped in after it. There
was yell of dismay from the onlook-
ers. and they started to the squirrels
aid. but he deftly jumped out again,
his feet scorched. but otherwise seem
ingly not much hurt by his jump onto
live coals-Springfield Union.

Henpecked ssHubby" Not
Confined to Mankind

Henpecked husbands, parental de-
votion and almost unbelievable feats
of physical endurance among birds
are described in volume of the
Smithsonian institution series on the
birds Of North America.
The publication of this series is one
of the major Smithsonian projects for
the spread of scientific knowledge and
eventually will furnish scientifically
accurate descriptions of all North
American birds. One volume is de-
voted to shore birds.
This classification includes the most
henpecked member of the bird family,
according to DR.. Arthur G. Bent OF
Taunton, Mass, the author. This Is
the timid, dull-colored male phalarope.
The female, far more brilliant In
plumage and positive in will, forces
him into matrimony. Once she has
deposited the eggs she leaves the
Matching of them entirely up to him.
He incubates them and cares for the
young while she gads about with
equally irresponsible wives.
Mr.. Bent quotes one observation OF
an unhappy husband. A pair was
seen together, the male of which was
apparently tired out" Whenever the
hen stopped, as she frequently did, to
primp herself or feed, he would sit
down, tuck his bill under his feathers,
and go to sleep. Before he had
dozed more than a minute, however,
the female would peck him awake
and, calling garrulously, force him to
follow her while she led the way
through the marsh. Now and then
she would go into rage, fly at him
and chase him about.-Washington
