thoy *viil whistle regular ^ne?.
Lust ?ummor I was at a friend's
bouHo at Nabant.. 1 r.?se early in the
tuorning, and went down stairs to:
walk on the pla/.m. While there 1
heard, as 1 thought, Home' per&onwbiallir<?
a tune in a very sweet style.
I tooled around, but c ?uld -ueo no
one. Where could the sound come
from? 1 ioukod up, and saw a little
bird, in a cag*'. The cage \va* hung
in the rnidrtt ot flowers und twining
plants.
Can it be, thought f, that such a
little bird as that has been tanght to
sing a regular lane ?"> uwoetlj' ? I did
not know what to make of it !
When my friend camo down stairs,
*ho~told rno that it was iudood tho little
biid who hud whistled the sweet
tuneThen
my friend cried ont to the bird
"Come, Bully, Belly, flweel littlo Bully
Bnlfineh, givo us just ono more
tune."
And thon this dear Utile bird hopped
about its cage, looked at its miBtresp,
and whistled another sweet tune. It
waft so strange to bear a bird whistle
a regular tune!
Now, Bully, said my friond, you
must give us "'-Yankee Doodlb.'^?
Como. come, vou shall have soma r.ice
fioh bced if you will whistlo "Yankee
Doodle." And iho little thing did
whittle it, much to my surprise.
frieud then told., mo that she
had brought the bird from the little
town of Fulda in Germany. In t'ulda
theitf are little school* fur teaching
these birde to eing.
When a bullineh has learned to sing
two or three tunes, he in worth from
forty to six'y dollars; for be Will
bring that price in Fioi.fo or .England.

"KAtfA KIRIJ" HOW IT IS" PERFORMED
i The Japancso bold that death, under
any circumstances, is to be preferred
to dishonor. Whoneyer tho
privileged classes go on a journey
they carry with them the robus woru
and the knife u*ed at tho performance
of kara-kiru?thus testifying to their
readiness to dio ralbcr than degrade
.theirfamilies or themselves. Wbito
ib mo mourning color of Japan. It \a
the only color used at funerals. Etiquette
proscribes that a white, robo
and uharak;?raa," or winged official
dress, should bo worn when bara-kiru
is performed. Tbe disemboweling
knife is about eight inches in..length,
and very sharp.
When tho official doenmont Authorizing
a culprit to perform liara-kivu in
made out arid duly signed by co.npotent
authorities, it is delivered o*<5r to
two commissioners, who aro dircoted
to deliver it "to whom it may ojiicom."
It sometimes' happens tbat
this is a*dangerous duty to porforni.
For, if tho selected vicirra' is a daimto
ot sufficient power lo defy tho tycoon^
