ENQUIRER-SUN COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 18*)U.
TOILETS OF ANIMALS.
SAND BATHS AND WATER BATHS
FOR BEASTS AND BIRDS.
Most of the Smaller Creature* Are More
Particular with Their Appearance Than
' a Large Part of the Human Family.
Methods of Some of the Birds.
Brushes and combs most animals carry
■with them. “Brilliantine” also is car
ried in a small and handy reservoir by
all ducks and divers. Mud serves for
cold cream and vaseline; dust for fuller’s
earth and pearl powder, and water, as
with us, is perhaps the most important
necessary. But birds especially are
mighty particular about the quality of
their “toilet dust,” and equally nice as
to the water in which they prefer to
wash. Some use water only, some water
•or dust, others dust and no water. Par
tridges are a good example of the dusting
birds, and are most careful in the selec
tion of their dust baths. Dry loam suits
them best.
But perhaps their favorite place is a
meadow where a few turfs have been re
moved. There they scratch out the
loam, and shuffle backward under the
grass roots till their feathers are full of
the cool earth. In wet weather they
find, if possible, a heap of burnt ashes
■on the site of a weed fire, and dust there.
Sparrows, on the contrary, always
choose road dust, the dryest and finest
possible. Larks also are fond of the
road, and dust there in the early morn
ing. But they, too, have their fancy,
and choose the dry, gritty part where
the horses’ hoofs tread.
Wild ducks, though feeding by the
Bait water, prefer to wash in fresh water
pools, and will fly long distances inland
to running brooks and ponds, where
they preen and wash themselves in the
early morning. But though passing so
much time on the water, ducks seem to
prefer a shower bath to any other; and
in heavy rain they may be seen opening
their feathers and allowing the rain to
soak in. after which they dress the
whole surface with oil from the reser
voir which we mentioned above. Swal
lows and martins are as nice in their
choice of bath water as any “profes
sional beauty:" nothing but newly fallen
rain water thoroughly pleases them, and
if tempted to bathe, it is generally by
some shallow pool in the road which an
hour's sun will evaporate.
• A FALCON’S BATH.
We have never seen hawks or falcons
bathing when wild. Trained birds in
good health bathe almost daily, and the
bath of a peregrine falcon is a very care
ful performance. But no nymph could
be more jealous of a witness than these
shy birds, and it is not until after many
careful glances in every direction that
the falcon descends from her block and
wades into the shallow bath. Then, af
ter more suspicious glances, she thrusts
her broad head under the water and
flings it on her back, at the same time
raising the feathers and letting the drops
thoroughly soak them.
After bathing head and back she
spreads her wings and tail fan like on
the water and rapidly opens and shuts
them, after which she stoops down and
splashes the drops in every direction.
The bath over, she flies once more to
the block, and taming her back to the
sun, spreads every feather of the wing
and tail, raises those on the body and
assists the process of drying bv a trem
ulous motion imparted to every quill,
looking more like an old cormorant on a
buoy than a peregrine.
Cats, large and small, make the most
careful toilet of any class of animal,
with the exception of some of the opos
sums. The lions and tigers wash them
selves in exactly the same manner as the
cat, wetting the dark, India rubber like
ball of the fore foot and the inner toe,
and passing it over the face and behind
the ears.
CLEANLINESS OF A DOG.
One of the most charming pets we
have kept, and the most particular as to
washing and brushing its feet and fur,
was a lovely brown opossum from Tas
mania. “Sooty phalangist" was, we be
lieve, its scientific name. It was cov
ered with deep rich brown fur, had a
face something like a fox, a pink nose,
bauds with a nailless thumb, and long
claws on the fingers. It washed its feet
every two or three minutes.
Water rats are very clean animals,
and wash and brush their faces “like
Ohristians.” We saw one on a pond at
Welling, in Kent, swim out to pick np
the blossoms of an acacia tree which
were falling on the water. After
daintily eating each flower on the bank
he licked his hands, wiped his mus
taches and swam off ’ for another. We
also tried an acacia blossom, but except
a slightly sweet flavor, could find noth
ing to account, for the rat's taste, for
them.
Sporting dogs, which are used in
mud, snow and wet, are strangely
clever and quick in cleaning and drying
their coats, and it is a snre sign that a
dog has bten over tired if he shows any
trace of mud or dirt next morning.
Most of their toilet is done with the
tongue, but they are very clever at us
ing a thick box bush or the side of a
haystack as a rough towel. One small
spaniel which we allowed to live in the
bouse was well aware that if he retnmed
dirty he would not be admitted indoors.
About an hour before rhe close of the
day's shooting he used to strike work
and begin to clean himself, and if urged
to do more would slip off home and pre
sent himself neat and clean in the din
ing room. One day the dog had been
left, at home, and his master returned
and seated himself, wet and with half
frozen drops of ice sticking to his gaiters,
by the fire. Pan ran up and carefully
licked off the frozen ice and snow, stop
ping every now and then to give an anx
ious look, which said as plainly ass pos
sible, "Dear me, if 1 don't get him clean
quickly he will be sent to lie in the
stable."—Spectator.
The number of children who have de-
caygjJ-fftetii, and in many cases a part of
the first\set gone and the second set
bidly broioj 11 down, is too great.
