Some enemies of the birds are sat- isfied to take chances on outrunning their prey on the ground or catching them in an air pursuit. In the birds’ war for existence these enemies are the land forces and the air squadrons. Other foes make stealthy attacks on the nests in the trees, destroying the eggs and devouring the young fledg- lings. They are the submarines, and the stealthiest and meanest of the lot Is the snake. The snake's ability to climb trees makes him a deadly foe to birds. The reptile will crawl out on a limb and capture his prey while the parent birds flutter about powerless to pre- vent the slaughter. Of all the reptiles the common black- snake is the most destructive, and they will swallow a full-grown bird. The skull of a snake’s head is put together loosely and will stretch to an extraor- dinary size. This makes it possible for the snake to swallow a bird much larger than his own head. Before he devours his prey the snake covers it with a slimy saliva and squeezes the bird out long and narrow with his jaws to make it easier to swallow. Bullfrogs have been known to swallow birds, too, but they are not so destructive as the subma- rine snake. They cannot trap the birds in their nests in the trees. Making the Child Beautiful. Every mother desires that her child shall be beautiful; but beauty on the outside is born of health on the inside. The same is true.of beauty of disposi- tion, or of what we are wont to term “goodness” in the child. It is exceed ingly difficult for people of mature, years, possessed of some degree af self-control, to be bright, cheerful an amiable with a& body suffering with {ll health. How much more so for the child. : Bvery child may not be endowed with perfect symmetry of face and fig ure, but the sunny disposition, the clear complexion, the rosy cheeks, the gleaming eye, the ruby lips, the pearly teeth, the plump form, together with perfect poise of body, which all may cultivate, will lend even a greater charm. Karly beginnings count for mueh in matters pertaining to health, as with | all other things connected with child Upon the right treatment of the little babe during the first year depends much of its subsequent well- being.—Mrs. E.

Chemists of the department recom- mend the following test as a simple one to determine when fruit sirup has feached the “jell point”: “Make a thin, flat stick or a small paddle, about an inch broad, and whittle this down to a straight edge. Dip the pad- dle or stick into the jelly mixture and remove it. Hold the end down, and if the mixture has reached the jell {ng point, it will be noticed that the liquid will not drip off in drops but will flake off—that is, a strip of jelly will fall off from the paddle in one mass.” Breaks Leg on Tomato Vine. Tripping over a tomato vine in his garden, where he was working, Wil- liam L.
