A BIRD TABLE
A twopenny bird table has been invented by a friend of the birds, says a writer in the "Children's Newspaper." First you buy a twopenny rubber ball, and tlieii you cut two bell-shaped holes in the side, about Otto' and a half inches wide ahd.an.in.ch high.' The bottom of the ball is now a shallow saucer, which you ,fill with crumbs, scraps of fat, and peanuts; The . donied roof protects the ■food', and & .string is threaded through a hole in .-the centre so that it can be hung from, a nail near the window. It lis the perfect table for tits, because sparrows cannot invade it. Tits are far more amusing to watch than cage birds. Th.ere is no reason why every ,child should not have,; a bird table. May cages soon become as out of date, as stocks and pillory;
