We have countless thousands of birds in this country; therefore the mortality must be high. Yet have you ever seen a dead bird? Tha majority o f ua have not, and even those of u who dwell in the coun try but rarely see a bird lying dead. A t a time one may be aeen in a wood or field, bat the people who hare seen many birds lying dead are astonishingly few— dead birds, that ii to say that have really died and have not been shot down. Nevertheless it is obvious that thou sands o f birds must dis each month. Where do they die? That is a ques tion that «even the naturalist can not answer satisfactorily. O f course many birds are killed off by animals. Cate kill many birds, and birds kill each other, as wit ness the fact that an ailing rook is killed off by his fellows. Blackbirds, too, kill off any sick member o f their community, and other birds adopt a similar method. It is quite possible that those killed off birds are the ones seen dead in woods and fields, but there yet re main thousands o f bird deaths^ that cannot easily be accounted for. The most likely explanation is this— that an unwell bird crawls away to cover o f some sort and there dies. Without doubt hun dreds o f birds so perish each month, and sometimes a bird gets into a corner that he cannot escape from ; then he dies there. Small animals aa well aa birds crawl off to some isolated spot and die unseen, and where they die there do their bodies wither to decay. We know that an unwell dog gets out o f sight if he possibly can and an ailing cat does the same thing. They Beek to hide, and it would #1- moet seem that the bird and ani mal kingdom does not want the eye o f Tnxn to rest on its members when the time at death cornea. Quite a lot o f birds are carefully buried in England. The sexton beetle attends to this. N o sooner does the sexton come acroee the dead body o f a bird than he sets to work. The earth is scraped away all around the dead body, and as tiie earth disappears the body sinks down into the hole made. Once the body has sunk far enough the female sexton beetle comes on the scene to do her part. She, in short, bores small holes in the dead body, and in the boles she deposits her eggs. The body is then lightly covered, and the result is that when the eggs hatch out they—-the young sexton beetles— are surrounded by a large quantity o f decaying food, the rerj sort o f food they want and require. N o doubt the sexton beetles bury thousands o f birds in this way every year.— London An swers. ________________ The first impulse o f a man on seeing a snake .is to stamp on its head, which, according to the Ro- A snake’s behooves a part or tne body that Is always lia ble to be knocked «gainst stones, etc., owing to the extrem e short sightedness o f all serpents.

In oasa no re volver is at hand a rap with a cane will be sufficient, but care must be taken to keep away from the head o f the creature. A snake does not normally go about hitting its ita skull against hard objects It does this when in a hurry. Moving at its ordinary pace, it feels its way with ita long, deli cate, forked tongue.

When a snake bites it bisects ita head up to the nape o f its neck and opens s its jaws till they are in the same plane— L e., at right angles to the body. These jaws are provided with six rows o f strong, sharp teeth, four on the upper jaw ana two on the lower jaw. ...

A teacher was trying to impress npon her pupils the three funda mental rights o f man as expressed in the Declaration of Independence — life, liberty and the pursuit o f happiness. T o do this she gave each o f them three buttons, each, button to stand for a principle. They were to bring them back the next day with a statement aa to what each stood for. But the next day Johnnie brought back only two buttons. “ Where is the other button ?” asked the teach er. “ Well,” explained Johnnie, “ I ’ve brought beck life and liberty, but maw sewed the pursuit o f happiness on Brother Jim ’s pants.” — Detroit Free Press. Locating tha Sound. A good story is told o f Signor Foli, the famous basso. Once upon a time he was singing ’“ The Raft” when a childish voice in the audi ence suddenly piped in and at tempted to organize an impromptu duet. Foli kept his gravity with some difficulty until he came to the line: “ Hark! What sound is that which breaks upon my ear?” This so tickled the fancy o f the vocalist that he interrupted himself with a hearty langh and left the platform, followed by the pianist. Twice they came hack and attempted the song, but finally they had to give it np in despair, much to the amusement o f the audience. An Unnaeaaaary Question. The offief boy, with his legs curled lovingly around those o f the chair, was tilted back in the cor ner, gloating over "T h e Mysterious Milkman; or.

The lnd looked over him with a contemptuous expression. * “ Y ou must be a Rube or you’d know he ain’ t,” he drawled. “ Ain't you got no power of deduckshun? Would I be settin’ like this an’ read- in’ a book like this if the boss was in ? Not hardly. Come tomorrow.

A Tru* Fisherman, In the Catskill foothills a New York traveling man who was mak ing a trip overland passed an old man who was fishing with hook and line in a small stream. As the drummer drove by in a buggy the old man never took his eye off the bobber in the water. When the traveling man retained late in the afternoon he was greatly surprised to see the old man still in the same position with his eyea glned on the bobber. "H ello, uncle!” he shouted. "A n y luck today?” Without taking his gaze off the cork which rested on the surface of the placid stream the old man re plied: “ Had a nibble long ’bout noon.” —J u d g e .________________ The confusion o f tongues had done its destined part, work on the tower o f Babel being pretty much «upended, when all at once Welsh emerged from the racket.
