One day Mrs. Parsons was helping

she knew better how to invest the pro-

economy now. And as neither of the

women liked either to go to town alone,
or to stay idone with Johnny while the
other went with the hush ind or father,
it had become the rule for both to go
and leave. Johnny to the care of his
father, and so they 1 cided to do now.
Accordingly such vegetables as they
were lo take were gathered and placed
in the sprr:g wagon. A hunt was made
for eggs, which were carefully packed,
small end down, in oats, to prevent
their breaking, and the bit of butter
which they lr:d saved w.i. ta ken from
tho well where it hung by a rope, and
rewrapped in white cloths.

Kven more odd than this is the cue
of the owl and the ivu-aver binl. The
wavc r bird are proiablv tl.- mo-.t
sociable ot all the b ids. 1 hev do not
merelv build their ne-t near each oth-
cr. but put th in side bv side in "teat

numbers, and then make a thatched
roof to coter them all. It i hard to
behexe that such a be mtifiil little bird
village can be the Work of b ids which
have no other tools than their b.ll. but
it i. and tiu'se little atvlnterL do not
make any fuss about it cither. The
weaver-birds wheh build this .ort of
nel are called sociable weaver-bird, to
di tingui.h them from other weaver-
bird which bu Id their nests separate
from each other.
If there is one bird more than anoth-
er that mot little bird noit.velv hate.
it i the owl. The owl sleeps all day.
ami goes abroad at du-k when most
other birds are making ready to leep.
Then the owl's eyes are good, and he
can see little bird which can not see
him. and down he pounces on them and
swallows them, 'llie poor birds can
not even hear him coming, for his
wings are so covered with soft down
that ho moves through the air without
any noise, and is clutching a poor little
bird in hi cruel claws before it is awake
enough to know it is in trouble
This
is all ery well for the owl at night, but
in the day-time, it is quit another mat-
tcr. Then his owlship can not see well
out of his great blinking eyes, and i

Alter a little wmle I Wcame very
fond of Miis Pullx, ami she of me.
W hen I went to th Kitchen 1 would
peep into tne door, wit.iuiit saving a
word. al atur a severe look. Polly
would call: "What are ou doi' g""
and when 1 ei.tered she would jump
for joy and .-ay "How do oil do,
love?" " Polly" pi et; well." some
times if I w:l g.v.ng d rectioti to my
cook. Polly would chatter o fa.-t tliat
you cotihl he:r no one el and if 1
took a book in my hand she would
make believe read in continuous
strain.
One of her great delights wa to have
and lo ked in my face. I thought per

other day when Polh wa behind lhe
cage, ami he climbed directly over and
came in my lap a Ik-fore.
One day'somo very little k:ttens came
U) the house I took one and strok. d
it, and Polly looked on for a moment,
then came to the wires of her cage, put
down her head and said "W ant lo
scratch Polly."' m thu-s way showing her
jealousy of the kitten.
It was quite an ainu-euient to the
school-chi'dren to hear her ay her let
ters. They would call to her if she was
in the y. rd. and ho would answer
them. One thing I found rather
troublesome. If a child tr a man ran
quickly past the house he would call
"Fire Hie!" so loud that you could
hear her :t long distance oil". h must

hear her answer "That" "
These are a few of the singularly ap

I am sure yon will agree with me that
she is a ter, w.se bird.
