I heard the other day that there were Insects who feel and who see and who smell things near at hand. We can do those things, too. ‘ But I also heard that different ones had different ways. I was told that and I was supposed to tie surprised, hut I know about insects, most eertntn ly I do." “I guess birds are pretty well up on the subject.” said Mrs. Frigate Bird. “On what subject?” asked Mr. Frig ate Bird. “Do you mean, my love, up on the subject of air, up on the subject of clouds, or up on the subject of high branches of trees?” “I menu none of those things," said Mrs. Frigate Bird, “though we are up on all of those, or In all of those very, very often. But I mean birds are pret ty well up on the subject of insects.” “To he sure, to be sure," said Mr. Frigate Bird. “It is the same way with people," said Mrs, Frigate Bird, "or that is, I supiMjse it is.” “What do you mean?" asked Mr. Fri gate Bird. “I mean that people know a great deal about food. When they come out into the vegetable garden they know what they want for dinner and what they want for supper, and they know when they go Into the barnyard that they want eggs for breakfast. “They know when they go a-market lng what they want. They know all •orts of things about the kinds of food which they eat. “And so do we. Therefore, I say we are up on the subject of Insects and bugs, and so are all birds. We know which ones taste well for breakfast, which we like best for dinner and which we dote on for supper.” “What do you mean when you say there are kinds which we dote on for sapper?” asked Mr. Frigate Bird. “I mean those which we especially love for supper, which we just like so much we can hardly tell how much, in fact, we dote on them, do you see?" "I understand," said Mr. Frigate Bird. “I must say," continued Mrs. Frigate Bird, “that. I care more for the insects which are good to eat and 1 care more for Ilie fact that they ure good to eat than 1 do care what their family hls tory limy lie." ....•I'-WJ-- - “So <lo I." said Mr. Frigate-Bird. “I suppose it is tlie same way with children ami with grownups.” said Mrs. Frigate Bird. “They probably don't core to know the family history of a cabbage for example, or a head r ■ - ■■ n---"-“l •‘What Do You Mean?” of lettuce, Init a cabbage or a bead of lettuce may be very nice as part of a meal.” ••Wiiot a wise bird you are." said Mr. Frigate Bird proudly. “Thunk you for the compliment,” said Mrs. Frigate Bird. “We are very famous for something,” said Mr. Frigate Bird. “What?" asked Mrs. Frigate Bird. “We can eat a thing while it is fall ing—that is we can catch something which is dropping—go down and catch It while it is still falling, and so make it fall into our beaks." “Ah, yes, we can do that,” said Mrs. Frigate Bird. “Is that making us fa mous?" “It has something to do with our fame,” said Mr. Frigate Bird. "Peo ple think that is an Interesting thing about us.” “I am glad they do.” said Mrs. Frig ate Bird. "But 1 he intersting thing to me is that we actually eat the things and can taste them and enjoy them and swallow them and still have beautiful thoughts of our nicely-filled tummies.” "That, of course." said Mr. Frigate Bird, “is rlie most Important tiling. Still It I- nice to la- fammi' fur some thing which gives us such great pleas ure." "That is nice.” agreed Mrs. Frigate Bird. Strange Tails.

"Why nerve?" “Because it la a lulsa-Qt establish ment.” To set tlie face in the right direc tion, and then simply travel on, un mindful and never di ,’ouraged by even frequent relapses by the way. Is the secret of all human achleve FOOD FOR THE SICK-ABEO. Illness will come in all homes at times and It is vitally imporfuM thnt □ we realize how n**iablo proper food is in the re covery of n patient. A trained nurse should be well equipped in knowl edge of food values and how to prepare u tempt ing tray, yet it is not at ways possible to have a trained nurse, and the mother in the home will need this knowledge. A person who is ill in bed is out of balance, both mentn'ly and phys ically. ami it is wise to treat them with ns much consideration as one does a child. Variety even in the serving ol milk is important. Surprises are im portant to remember in Ihe serving of food for grown-ups as well ns for children. The tray should be arranged to please the eye Hist, then the palate. A rose or a small flower beside the plate or In a small vase will often make eat ing a pleasure what would otherwise be refused or eaten under protest. With little people many kinds ot games will be thought of by the nurse to amuse and distract attention when the appetite Is poor. In the case of serious illness a smafi quantity of nourishment is given often, with as innrh attention to daintiness as possible. Jellied chicken, sweetbreads and flsh are most attractive dishes, made so by the use of gelatin. Toast Is tlie most common of tray foods. It should be dry and well browned tlipn cut In finger strips to make it easier to handle. When serving any creamed dish or egg on toast It should he cut in small squares before placing ghe egg. Frozen foods and chilled drinks are Invaluable In the sick room, as are hot soups and broths, which should be nourishing and well seasoned to make them palatable. All food Intended to be hot or cold should he served so. When serving drinks or soups have the dishes placed and pour Into them to avoid spilling. Never ask. or seldom ask. a patient what he wants to eat: unless there Is some particular craving lie will be glad not to have to order his meats. Tie LOlc vrdtH Love is a good deal like a stubborn mule. There's no telling what kind of stunt it wit! do next. When you meet a man who is thor oughly content, you see one where ambition has gone to tied. A minister talks about Ids “work." but the male members of Irs congre gation are apt to call It a “simp." Any girl can paint tier own por trait several years in adva.e e by get ting her mother to pose as tla* model. There is one good feature about breaking up housekeeping: i< enable* neople to gut rid of tlielr old furni ture. «-«~x~xx~x~xxk~X“X^x~x~x | | ) WATERS ?

Now first guess, and lien / will tell you. Does she ifiae there still or is she gone? As you may guess, many animals played near the tiny home under the hili, and these the old woman loved and treated as her own children, sharing iter meals with, and even housing them. Wto Once a terrific wind blew a magpie against her window. The bfrfl tried to brave the gale, hut could not, so the good old woman, seeing its plight, opened the sash, took the bird in and nursed it. As night drew near the magpie grew very anxious. Promising to be back at daybreak, it left the old woman’s home. At dawn it came a-rapping at the door. ————i—■— .1. . .I ■ ■ - ■—■■■ ———— W -'-: U. $.
