The Barber's Polo. Although the modern barber does not make, such a point of displaying the conventional striped pole as was once commonly the case, the quaint object may be - in many parts of the coun- try, says the London Globe. It has a strange origin, and one which accounts for the red and white stripes with which it is invariably painted. In years gone by it was the usual custom among barbers to combine surger with their other accomplishments, an; the striped pole is the modern representation of the bleeding stuff carried by the old-time barber in the practice of his arts. It was the custom then of village practicu- ers to give a staff to their patients to grasp while in bed; the strips were formed by the tape which was wound round the staff when not in use, and so signified on the painted pole of to- day. In Edinburg and other Scottish towns, to the pole is frequently added a cupping dish of bright brass. Refuse any substitute.

The beautiful Flamingo is a bird of feeble intellect, delicate appetite, and centeel tastes. It cannot eat fish, for its slender throat would scarcely ad- mit a pea. Besides. the idea of eateh. ing anything, or even picking up food from the ground, does not occur to its simple mind. Its diet consists of certain small crustaceans, classed hv naturalists with water-fleas, which abound in blackish water; and it has an instrument tor taking these which it knows how to use. I kept Flamin- goes once, and, after trying many things in vain, offered them bran, or boiled rice, floating in water. Then they dined, and I learned the con- struction and working of tho most marvellous of all bills. The lower jaw is deep and hollow, and its upper edges turn in to meet each other, so that you may fairly describe it as a pipe with a narrow slit along the up- per side. In this pipe lies: the tongue, and it cannot Irc'", out for it is wider than the slit, but it can be pressed against the top to close the slit, and than the lower jaw becomes an actual pipe. The root of the tongue is furnished on both sides with a loose fringe which we will call the first strainer. The upper jaw is thin and flat and rests on the lower like a lid, and it is beautifully fringed along both sides with small, leathery points. close set, like the teeth of a very fine saw. This is the second strainer. To work the machine you dip the point into dirty water full of water- fleas, draw hack t_he_tip of the tongue First Duty L to Its Readers, Sars Successful Editor. It can only get out by passing through the first strainers at the root of the tongue, then over the palate, and so through the second strainers at the sides of the bill; and all the solid matter it contained will remain in the mouth. The sucking in and squirting out of the water is man- aged by the cheeks, or rather by the cheek, and that is situated under the chin. When the bird is feeding you will see this throbbing faster than the eye.can follow it, while water squirts from the.sides of the mouth in a continuous stream. I should have said that the whole bill is sharp. ly bent downwards at the middle. The advantage of this is that, when the bird lets down its head into the water, like a bucket into a well, the point of the bill does not stick in the mad, but lies flat on it, upside down.--From "Bills of Birds," by E.
