Let us hide behind that clump of blackberry bushes and watch the parent birds as they come to feed their young. There comes the father robin now. You can distinguish him from the mother by his darker plumage. You will notice that in coming with the food he alights on a particular twig, hops along a particular branch anfl alights on a particular side of the nest. If you watched him for a week, you would probably see him approach the nest in precisely the same way each time. Now here comes the siother, a lighter colored bird, with gray on the back of her head. Y’ou see that she reaches the nest by quite a different route and alights upon ttie other side of it, and she will <ft this over and Or and over again. Like men and women, birds acquire habits which they rigidly adhere to unless something happens to prevent them.—Ernest Harold Baynes in Woman’s Home ComHonext Mistake. The story is told of a little New England girl the workings of whose Puritan conscience involved her in difficulties on one occasion. • She was studying mental arithmetic at school and took no pleasure in it. One day she told her mother, with much depression of spirit, that she had “failed again in mental arithmetic,” and on being asked what problem had proved her undoing she sorrowfully mentioned the request for the addition of "pine and four.” “And didn't you know the answer, dear?” asked her mother. “Y.es’m,” said the little maid; “but you know, we are to write the answers on our slates, and before I thought I madq four murks and counted up. ’Ten, 'leven, twelve, thirteen,’ and then/ of course, t knew that wasn't mental, so I wrote twelve for the answer to be f a lr.”—You t h's Com pa nion. Ilai« lu <. liurcb. “Time was,” says the London Chronicle, “when men wore their’hats in church, and Pepys evidently considered it an unnecessary piece of strictness to Insist on the bare head lu church. In his diary for sov. 17, 1081, he has the entry, 'To church and heard a simple fellow upon the praise of church muslque and exotoiming against men's wearing their bats on in church.' "On Sept 28 following he went to the French church 'at the Savoy, where 'the minister do preach with'his hat off, I suppose in further conformity with our church.’ "Probably it was about this date that the custom of removing huts in the church began.”
