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.

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

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.

fice.
“ Is the boss in?” asked the gen
tlemanly visitor courteously.
The lnd looked over him with a
contemptuous expression.

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.”
