Bad Manners at the Table.
Ml
'mil
Here's a lively company, boys and girls, no doubt about that! It
seems to be meal time with them, and they appear to be acting upon the
motto that this im
portant hour should
be a lively one. No- j.l
body seems to be
bored; nobody, not
even the dog or the
baby, seems to be
having a dull time.
True, the baby is
kicking about some
thing, but it can't
be on account of the
dull time he "(surely,
it isn't a girl baby?)
is having or allow
ing anybody else to
have. A lively com
pany it Is, boys and
girls, but somehow
it doesn't seem to be ,

Fall Nest
ing.
We are apt to think that birds
build only in spring or in summer,
because that is their "natural" sea
son and because their ancestors did
so. But have you never thought that
perhaps the heat or the mildness of
the weather may have a direct influ
ence, and may actually invite them to
build? Here is a little incident which
I saw last year, and which seems to
point in that direction. The 24th of
September was spring-like in tem
perature; a fine rain was falling, and
I was afield, watching a host of small
migrants, chiefly myrtle warblers and
sparrows, but especially interested in
the movements of some young gold
finches that were learning to feed on
thistles. About a cavity in . an old
apple tree were four bluebirds hover
ing and warbling. Looking more
closely I noticed that each pair seem
ed trying to get possession of the hol
low as I have seen them fighting
for a nesting place in spring. But to
my astonishment one , male had a
straw in his bill. He went into the
hollow, tarried for awhile, and re
turned without the straw. Then the
female went in and stayed for several
minutes. The birds were so much in
terested that I went to within a few
yards of them before they left. In
the" hollow was the foundation of a
nest. " ,
A bird, called the pine siskin,
which I caught one day, and which
roamed about the house, found an old
vireo's nest and at once took posses
sion, pulling and picking curiously
at the loose fibres as if to arrange
them to a siskin's taste. I have also
seen a pair of wax-rwings gather nest
ing material when if seemed too late
in the season even for them. Per
haps further study of the birds in the
fine autumn weather will show that
they are often led to build useless
nests. It would be Interesting to
know how far they may sometimes
carry those untimely efforts. OFrom
