BATH TIME.
"The other day I was watching some sparrows in the garden. It was a lovely day, and the hose was spraying some flowers. We have a large mulberry tree,' which is very bare just now, and on the branches there were eleven or twelve brown, sparrows. Bach ono would fly over, stand under the sprayer of the hose and ruffle up his feathers till they were glistening wet, and then fly .back to the tree, twittering gaily all the'time. They did not seem to mind us watching them (we were quite close, too), and they each had several 'shower baths.' It was a pretty sight'to see them among, the flowers, and they made quite a noise with, their twittering." , .. "PEN-FEIENB." : Australia.
