THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: REPTEHNfBEIl 21, 1913
Busy Bees
N'
OW that the loaves are starting to turn yellow and drop from
tho trees is nn interesting tlmo to bo "birding." It Is easy to
find out -where tho birds havo built their homes and thoy aro
not as shy as in 'tho Bprlncttmo when thoy aro trying to hido
their nests from the curious and perhaps from their enemies.
At this tlmo of tho year the young birds aro almost grown up and can
take caro of themselves, but it is otlli a llttlo early to fly south, so that
the woodB are filled with twittering, bright-colored llttlo feathered friends.
The best way to go "birding" is to take some older person along whp
knowa all of tho names of the different species and can toll tho children
tho queer and interesting habits of tho wild blrdB. It Is surprising how
few people read about tho birds or know one kind from another. If
any of the Busy Bees can write short, interesting little stories, I am sure
the readers of the children's page will appreciate them. Have any of
tho Busy Bees noticed that tho young birds woar brighter colors than
the older ones, Just like tho children wear brighter colors than the grown
ups? For the next two or throe months tho weathor will bo delightful for
long hikes in tho woods and tho children must wrlto about their ex
periences. Many attractive drawings havo boon sent in by Busy Bee illustrating
tho nursery rhyme, "Hey Diddle Diddle, tho Cat and tho Fiddle." The
prize drawings will bo announced and reproduced in this department of
next Sunday's lssuo.

About Ostriches.
Those who assert that the ostrich lives
on broken glass and Iron nails are not
quite right: bu that It swallows pebbles
to assist its digestion, as do many other
birds on a lesser scale, when In a state
of nature, and pieces of wood, metal or
what not when In a state of captivity,
for the same purpose. U most undoubted.
3 Tha strength of the ostrich Is quite
etjual to carr-ng a roan on its back at
a rapid rate of progression. The negroes
often use It for riding purposes. Dr. JUv
ingBtone tells us that the legs of an as.
trich running at full speed can no more
bo seen than the spokes in the wheel of
a Vehicle drawn at a gallop.
The ostrich can run thirty miles an
hour, and the Arabs would never be able
to overtake them but for the stratagems
employed. They llret foltbw them for
day or two, without pressing too closely.

It Is a Joy and comfort to know that
those much-talkcd-of pains and other dis
tresses that are said to. precede child-bearing
may easily be aTolded. No woman need
fear the slightest discomfort if she will
fortify herself with the well-known and
time-honored remedy, "Mother's Friend."
This is a most grateful, penetrating, ex
ternal application that at once softens and -makes
pliant the abdominal muscles and
ligaments. They naturally expand without
the slightest strain, and thus not only
banish all tendency to nervous, twitching
spells, but thero Is an entire freedom from
nausea, discomfort, sleeplessness and dread
that so often leave their Impress upon tha
babe.
The occasion is therefore one of un
bounded, Joyful anticipation, and too much'
stress can not be laid upon the remarkable
Influence which a mother's happy, pre-natal
disposition has upon the health and for
tunes ot the generation to come.
Mother's Friend Is recommended only fon
the relief and comfort of expectant mothers,
thousands ot whom have used and recom
mend ,it. Tou will find It on sale at all drug
stores at $1.00 a bottle. Write to-day to the

Most birds aad beasts are much mote

fclbto observation of some ot their habits

an aatontshlng degree of accuracy.
The ravens are among the most in-
alllble weather prophets. When you see

croaking sound, you may be reasonably

The loud quacking ot ducks, geesa and
other water fowl is a sign ot rain. Just
before a storm you will always find
swine, cocks and bens rubbing in the

uneasiness. Cattle and sheep announce

heads turned away from the wind.
Just before a severe rain dogs are apt

When moles throw up mora earth, w'ton
numbers ot spiders appear on the walls,
when pigeons return slowly to their dove

vigor and when the bees are reluctant to
leave their hives all these are declared
by close observers to be forerunners ot
rain.
