When still a schoolboy, while my father was in very active prac tice, my intention was to succeed him and that was his selection; but tishith falling him, he retired and confined himself to the management of the Quebec Lunatic Asylum, In 1845 the grand jury made such a telling presentment as to the old- fashigned treatment which the in- sage recelvedsin the General Hospi- tal at Quebec, that an immediate re- medy had to be adopted. In order 10 fulbl this the QGovernmeént asked my father to make temporary pro- vision for their eare while the auth- orities organized a proper asylum.

It was an bid tree apd the trunk and branches were beginning to fall to pieces and this' fat rascal knew the bugs he was looking for would be in just that kind of a tree. He flew about until'he found a Hmb that looked just right and then he began to peck, peck at a large knothole, until he had all he could carry of the most Jucious bugs in the world What a breakfast they had. * After 'they had eaten Mrs. Wood- pecker made herself eomfortable in A mp wi at, ra al ce gn the nest so she could see oy while Mr, Woodpecker flew way to have g chat with some of his friends Every day Mr. Woodpecker flew to the old tree and brought home the most delicious. breakfasts, Pretty soon the knothole was all pecked .away and the big hole went quite a way into the tree, Now all the while Mr. Woodpecker was pecking away at the tree Mr. and Mrs. Squirrel were watching him and each day, when he "lef, (he squirrels would 'scamper up the tree to see how big the bole was, for they had decided to wse it as 4 home for the winter after the woodpecker had made it large enough for then!
