THE QIJAIN'I'_ HORNBT.
Iati‘slll desired to add to my rare
collection a large hornet‘s nest. I had an
ambalmcd tarantula and her porcelain-lined
nut. and I desired to add to these the gray
and airy home of the hornet. I procured
one of the large size after cold weather. and
hung it in my cabinet by a string. I forgot
all about it until this Spring. When warm
weather came something reminded me off it.
I think it was a hornet. Ho jogged my
memory in some “‘8 y and called my atten-
tion to it. Memory is not located where I
thought it was. It seemed as though when-
ever he touched me he awakened a memory
—a warm memory with a red place all
around it.
Then some more hornets came and began
to rake up old personalities I remember
that one of them lit on my upper lip. ills
thought it was a rosebud. “'hen he went
away it looked like a gladiolus bulb. I
wrapped a wet sheet around it to take. out
the warmth and reduce the strolling so that

The animals at the Arsenal in (‘entral

complete misery. The wolf sat quietly in
one corner; of his cage; the lions walked
slowly aches their limited enclosures and
occasionally gave a loud roar ; the monkeys
swung by their tails and consumed no pea—
nuts, for the small boy was not there. and
the sea lions chased each other about in
their tanks. There has been considerable
discumion as to the advisability of moving
the entire urological collection tothe remote
part of the Park. “ This place," said Sup-

are accustomed to barking. It is a short.
sharp bark. and sometimes the old bull will
keep it up half the night. The lions will set
up a loud roaring once in a while, but the
building is closed during the night and then
they can hardly be heard at a distance.

the animals by their loud screaming. But
them are no disagreeable odors of other

IN DEFENCI OF THE SPARROW.
“any Canadian people two or three year.

was written for and against those little
birds. The upshot was that the Natural
History Society of Toronto had some spar-
rows killed and the contents of their crops
analyZed. when it was found that they des-
troyed more grabs than grain or fntit.
They are. therefore. no longer under a ban.
“ During the excitement I determined to
test the value or otherwise of sparrows. I
had boxes tirade for them and so placed in
my veranda that I rand my family) could
watch their movements from morning to
night. 1 found that they conveyed to their
young ones innumerable wriggling grubs ;
that they caught and disinonibercd grass-

neither driven away nor disturbed the song

nor have they rubbed me of the fruit in any

led and cared for them in England as I do
hcre. and so far as I can see their habits
are unchanged by climate. Sparrows are
good friends to man if not all-'11 ed to be.

i “ In Wood‘s ‘ Natural History of Birds,"
1862. at page 47“. is the following : 74‘ In
