DEADLY ENEMIES OF BIRDS
Snakes Olimb Trees and Capture
Fledglings in Nest, While the
Parents Are Helpless.
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. BE. Kellogg, in Good

Test for Jelly of Fruit Cake.
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

and a prominent real estate man of

Because of his advanced age and
