THE FRIGATE BIRDS.
“How-do-you-do, Golden Plununer,”
said Mr. Frigate Bird. “Can't you
stop?” But the bird flew on for he
had an engagement with his mate.
“Oh. well,” said Mr. Frigate Bird.
“I do not mind if lie will not talk, fur
I have things to talk about. 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

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.
I? was Hubert's first visit to the
zoo.
“What do yon think of tin* animals?"
laquired Fnele Ben.
After a critical inspection of the ex
hibit tile boy replied ;
"I think the kangaroo and the ele
phant should chnnge tails."—American
Bov.
Both Possible.
“Madame I-a Mode has the nerve to
call her d«*mrtmeiit for young girls’
dresses a perfect model of style."
"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.

There was an old woman lived under the hill, and if she’s not gone
she lives there still. 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.

That day it left again at nightfall. This went on for a week. Then
the magpie could leave the couch no more. "You have been so good to
me,” said the dying bird to the old woman. "Nothing 1 can give you Is
great enough, but 1 leave you my only treasure, ft is in my nest in the
third elm from the road. Go there before rngtjt falls, for Wiao Owl wM
take It if he finds my home unguarded/1
At dusk the old woman sought the elm. Coiled round in the nert
was a string of priceless pearls, which she knew to belong to the Crown
Princess Hurrying to the royal castle, she gave up the necklace and told1
how she got it. Dots she still live under the ktUf Not she! She lives Bt
court. And all her We i» ruled by this motto: "Kindness Is always twice
