The yellow-billed cuckoo is supposed to

very difncult to check up. Hidden in
the foliage the slender, grayish-brown
a grayish white beneath is not eager
to make your acquaintance. II you get
close enough to him you will notice
the lower part of his bill Is yellow.
This is how he got his name. The bill
Is as long as his head, arched and
sharp. The eyes are large and bright
and the quills on his tail have white
thumblike spots. The size is the only
differences between the male and fe-
male.
These cuckoos are known from
Mexico to Labrador. They rarely reach
the Pacific Coast. In September they
depart for warmer climate and return
ins April.
Your first sight of the rain crow may
be disappointing. When the bird Is
quiet he appears to be stupid or oaZeo:
When he finds a flourishing tent OF
caterpillars he executes a dance of Joy
and proceeds to gorge himself on our

gluttony, but to the troubled. orchardist

I"OR more than a hundred years
l. training in music has been a
standard part of education in
/ German schools-almost, If not
quite on a level with readlng'
| writing and arithmetic.
In the year 1920 a 10-year-old boy
named Robert Schumann was a pupil
| in such a school.
Robert studied music in the usual
way, and proved himself clever on the
piano. Now and then he made up
pieces of his own. AS prank, he
sometimes initiated the ways OF other
pupils at the piano.
Roberts father was an author OF
some note. When he learned that his
son was taking a special interest IN
music. he was worried for he wanted
the boy to become a lawyer.
Mr.. Schumann died when Robert was
II years old, but his mother held the
same ideas as his father. Young
Schumann agreed to study law provided
that he could first have one year OF
music lessons from Frederick Wieck at
Leipzig. This plan was agreed upon,
and the youth went to the Week house
hold to live for year. Then he tore
himself away from music, and spent
three years in preparing for the prac-
tice of law.
Schumann did not fulfill the am
bition of his parents. After leaving
law school, he turned back to music
and renewed his lessons under Week.
His progress was excellent until his
right hand became lame" The lame
