# Bird-Lore/Volume 01/No. 2/The February Walk Contest

The February Walk Contest
WE have been delighted with the interest aroused by our request for descriptions of February walks, and in imagination have enjoyed outings throughout a large part of the United States with our little correspondents.
We have found ourselves obliged to give two prizes, one of which goes to Mildred A. Robinson, of Waltham, Massachusetts, whose essay will appear in our next number; the other to Floyd C. Noble, of New York City, whose description of a walk in Central Park appears in this issue of Bird-Lore.
Much to his surprise, the Editor found that he was competing for the prize he himself had offered! He had written an account of some Central Park birds for this department before Master Noble′s article was received, and is obliged to confess that Master Noble mentions several species which he had not observed. He, therefore, presents only that part of his manuscript relating to the Chickadee, and leaves Master Noble to tell of the other birds in the Park.
The selection of the winning essays was made with much difficulty, and, in addition to the two chosen, we would especially commend those written by the following named boys and girls:
Philip Baker, Indianapolis, Ind.; Harriet J. Benton, New Bedford, Mass.; Zelda Brown, Yuma, Ariz.; Donald Bruce, East Hampton, Mass.; Walter S. Chansler, Bicknell, Ind.; Marion Flagg, go Washington St., Hartford, Conn.; Charles B. Floyd, Brookline, Mass.; Kathryn Gibbs, Kalamazoo, Mich.; Albert Linton, Moorestown, N. J.; Clara T. Magee, Moorestown, N. J.; George S. Mac Nider, Chapel Hill, N. C.; Barnard Powers, Melrose, Mass.; Elden Smith, Milville, Mass; Lydia Sharpless, Haverford, Pa.—Ed.
# Bird-Lore/Volume 01/No. 2/Sketch Book of British Birds

Although more books have been written about British birds than on the birds of any other region, and although Dr. Sharpe has written more bird books than any other living ornithologist, this we believe is the first treatise he has produced on the birds of his native land. He explains that the text is only a “running commentary” on the pictures, but claims that his “Systematic Index” is “the most complete record of the birds in the ‘British List’ yet published.” It enumerates 445 species of birds which, according to Dr. Sharpe, have been recorded from Great Britain. In his ‘Introduction’ he classifies these according to the manner of their occurrence, as follows: Species which have probably escaped from confinement, 14; Indigenous species, 138; Visitors from the South—regular, 35, occasional or accidental, 69; Visitors from the East—regular, 5, accidental or occasional, 38; Visitors from the North—regular, 35, occasional or accidental, 29; Visitors from the West—regular 1, occasional, 43. The latter are all American species, and the number recorded indicates how much more frequently our birds are found on the other side of the Atlantic than European birds are observed here.
The illustrations consist of colored vignettes in the text of nearly every species. They are not above criticism, but, on the whole, are excellent and form a far more certain and convenient aid to identification than the most detailed description or elaborate key. In many cases even American species of accidental occurrence are figured, and, in this connection, we are tempted to ask why British authors cannot use for our birds the names by which they are known in this country? Who would recognize the Rusty Blackbird under the name of the “Rusty Black Hang-Nest,” a misnomer in every sense of the word, or our Robin as the “American Thrush,” to cite two among numerous examples.

# Castes and Tribes of Southern India/Karumpurattan

​Karumpurattan. — It is recorded, in the Madras Census Report, 1901, that "the term Karumpurattān is said to be a corruption of Karu-aruttar, which means the Annihilators, and to have been given to the caste because they are the descendants of a garrison of Chola Vellālas, who treacherously allowed an enemy to enter the Tanjore fort, and annihilate the Rāja and his family. Winslow, however, says * that Karumpuram is a palmyra tree,†and Karumpurattān may thus mean a palmyra man, that is, a toddy-drawer. In the enumeration schedules, the name was often written Karumpuran. If this etymology is correct, this caste must originally have been Shānāns or Iluvans. It is said to have come from the village of Tiruvadamarudūr in Tanjore, and settled in the north- eastern part of Madura. The caste has seven sub-castes, called after seven nādus or villages in Madura, in which it originally settled. In its ceremonies, etc., it closely follows the Ilamagams. Its title is Pillai."

United States Supreme Court
242 U.S. 169
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company v. Whitacre
Argued: November 7, 1916. --- Decided: December 4, 1916
Whitacre, a freight train brakeman, while walking through a railroad yard on a dark and foggy night, fell into a water cinder pit and was seriously injured. He brought suit under the Federal Employers' Liability Act of April 22, 1908 (chap. 149, 35 Stat. at L. 65, Comp. Stat. 1913, § 8657), in a state court and recovered a verdict. Exceptions were taken to certain refusals to rule. The court of appeals of Maryland affirmed the judgment of the court below. 124 Md. 411, 92 Atl. 1060.
It appeared at the trial that, although the pit was of modern construction and well adapted to the purpose for which it was canstructed, it was not protected by a guard rail. There was testimony that at the time of the accident certain lights alleged to have been provided about the pit were not lighted; that it had been raining; and that the top of the water was covered to some extent with ashes, which made it constructed, it was not protected by a guard pit from solid ground. It was admitted that Whitacre was engaged in interstate commerce. The defenses relied upon were assumption of risk and denial of negligence.
The defendant (plaintiff in error) requested a peremptory instruction in its favor, on the ground that there was not sufficient evidence to entitle the plaintiff to recover. The appellate court was unanimous in holding that the trial court had properly left the case to the jury. No clear and palpable error is shown which would justify us in disturbing that ruling. Seaboard Air Line R. Co. v. Padgett, 236 U.S. 668, 673, 59 L. ed. 777, 781, 35 Sup. Ct. Rep. 481; Great Northern R. Co. v. Knapp, 240 U.S. 464, 466, 60 L. ed. 745, 751, 36 Sup. Ct. Rep. 399. The defendant further complains that the trial court refused to give certain instructions on the issues of negligence and assumption of risk. These instructions were properly refused; because in each instance the recital therein did not include all the facts which the jury was entitled to consider on the issues presented and concerning which there was some evidence.
The judgment is affirmed.

United States Supreme Court
108 U.S. 566
Baltimore & Oregan Railroad Company
This petition shows that the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company brought an action of replevin against John E. Hamilton, in the circuit court of the United States for the eastern district of Virginia, to recover the possession of certain railroad cars; that a summons for the defendant and a writ of replevin for the property were issued in the suit; that the defendant, Hamilton, was duly served with the summons; that the property sued for was taken by the marshal under the writ of replevin and delivered to the company; that a declaration was filed, and that before pleading thereto Hamilton appeared and moved to vacate the writ of replevin because the court had no jurisdiction to issue the same. This motion was heard, and thereupon the court ordered and adjudged 'that said writ be quashed and vacated, and all proceedings subsequent to be of no avail;' and that the action 'be dismissed at at the costs of the plaintiff, for which execution may issue,' etc.
This is a final judgment in the action, and, if the case is otherwise within our jurisdiction, subject to review here on a writ of error. Upon such a writ the question of the right to maintain the action on which the case was adjudged below, if presented by the record, may be re-examined here. This being so, a writ of mandamus cannot issue. It has been often held that mandamus cannot be used to perform the office of a writ of error. Ex parte Hoard, 105 U.S. 580; Ex parte Loring, 94 U.S. 419.
In Ex parte Ry. Co. 103 U.S. 796, it was expressly decided that a writ of mandamus could not be used to bring up for review a judgment of the circuit court on a plea to the jurisdiction. That is practically what is asked in this case. The writ is denied.

EVERY MAN TAKE HIS GLASS.
Every man take his glass in his hand, and drink a good health to our King; Many years have he rule o'er this land: May his laurels for ever fresh spring. Let wrangling and jangling straight away cease; Let every one strive for his country's peace; Neither Tory nor Whig With their parties look big, Here's a health to all honest men!
'Tis not owning a whimsical name, that proves a man loyal and just; Let him fight for his country's fame, be impartial as home if in trust. 'Tis this that prove him an honest soul, His health we'll drink in a brim full bowl. Then let's leave off debate, No confusion create: Here's a health to all honest men.
Then agree we true Britons agree, and ne'er quarrel about a nick name; Let our enemies, trembling, see, that a Briton is always the same. For our King, our Law, our Church & Right, Let's lay by all feuds and straight unite; Then who need care a fig Who's a Tory or Whig? Here's a health to all honest men.

THE BONNY LASSIE.
Ance I lo'ed a bonny lassie, lang I thought she'd be my ain; Sometimes she was wond'rous saucy, sometimes she was wond'rous fain; She was fair, but unco fickle, mair than ony e'er I saw; Ilka rose it has a prickle, but my Jenny she had twa.
She was charmin', gay and handsome, (illegible text) like Burn's lovely Jean; When she smil'd, 'twas heav'n to Johnny but by smiles the heart's ne'er seen. A hundred times she said she lo'ed me, silly I believ'd it a'; Ilka rose it has a prickle, but sause Jenny she had twa.
Thro' the bloomin' birks we've wander'd never thought the time o'er lang; Where the burnie rows we've daunder'd listnin' to the birdies' sang, Wha wou'd thought, in her fair bosom Sic a marble heart cou'd be? ​Wha wou'd thought the love o' siller parted this sweet lass and me?
Jenny's rich auld aunty, Maggy, died, and made but little din,
Left her gowd and blankets plenty, kists o' claise, and lint to spin.
Frae the moment Jenny got a', Johnny nae mair fill'd e'e;
Scoury lairds, and trash o' farmers pleas'd her then instead o' me.
Lang my leal heart fair was wounded, love's first marks are printed deep;
Wi' slighted love, and lasses' scornin', night nor day, could get nae sleep.
I curs'd the gowd, that root o' evil, that had sic charms to change the mind;
I cursed a' deceivin' women, I curs'd mysel' for being sae blind.
But time, the king of cures for a'thing, wore the glammer frae my een,
Then I had power to look about me, and soon I fix'd on bonny Jean!
I follow'd her to kirk and market, ('mang the maids she bare the grec,) ​Spake o' love—then in a jiffy, gae consent to married be.
Keen was I to hae her courted, keen was I to get her wed, Keen to hae the bridal over, but keener far to win ta bed. Jenny now may gang and whistle, Johnny's happy morn and e'en! Constant love and steady virtue
adorn the heart o' bonny Jean.

# Bonny lass/I'll clout Johnny's grey breeks

JOHNNY's GREY BREEKS.
When I was in my se'enteenth year, I wa baith blythe and bonny O! The lads lo'ed me baith far and near, but I lo'ed nane but Johnny O. He gain'd my heart in twa three weeks, he spak sae blyth and kindly O; And I made him new grey breeks, that fitted him most finely, O.
He was a handsome fellow, his humour was baith frank and free, His bonny locks sae yellow like gowd they glitter'd in my ee! ​His dimpl'd chin and rosy cheeks, and face so fair and ruddy O! And then a days his grey breeks was neither auld nor duddy O.
But now they're thread bare worn, they're wider than they us'd to be, They're tashed like and fair torn, and clouted fair on ilka knee; But gin I live anither year, as I have done right many O, I'll mak a web o' grey claith, to be breeks to my Johnny O.
For he's well-worthy o' them, and better gin I had to gie; And I'll tak pains upo' them, frae faults I'll strive to keep them free: To clead him weel shall be my {{illegible}, and plea'e him a my (illegible text) O! But he maun wear the auld pair a wee, tho' they be duddy O.
For when my lad was in his prime, like him there was nae mony O; He ca'd me ay his bonny thing sae wha was (illegible text) Johnny O? So I lo'e my Johnny's grey breeks for a the care they've gi'en me yet, And gin we live anither year, he'll get new breeks unmended yet.
​Now to conclude. His grey breeks I'll sing them up wi' mirth and glee; Here's luck to a the grey sleeks that show themselves upo the knee. But if a wee wi' health I'm spar'd, and I trust it will be sae I'll hae his breeks as weel prepar'd as ony e'er was made o grey.

TELL ME THE WAY TO WOO
O tell me my bonny young lassie, O tell me the way for to woo! O tell me, my bonny sweet lassie, O tell me the way for to woo! Say, maun I roose your red cheeks like the morning; lips like the rose, when it's moisten'd with dew? And say, maun I roose your een a pawky scorning? O tell me, dear lassie, the way for to woo.
O far hae I wander'd dear lassie to see thee I've sail'p the salt sea; I've travel'd o'er muirlands and mountains and houseless lain cauld on the leas, ​I never hae try'd yet to mak love to ony, never lov'd ony till ance I lov'd you; Now we're alane in the green wood sae bonny, now tell me, dear lassie, the way for to woo.
What care I for your wand'ring, laddie, or yet for your sailing the sea? It was nae for nought ye left Peggy, my tocher it brought you to me. An' say hae ye gowd for to busk me ay gandy, wi' ribbons, an' pearls an breast-knot anew, A house that is canty wi' plenishin' plenty, without them ye never need come for to woo.
I hae nae gowd to busk ye ay gaudy, nor yet buy you ribbon enow; I brag nae o' house, nor o' plenty, but I hae a heart that is true: I came na for tocher, I ne'er heard o' ony, never lo'ed Peggy, nor e'er brak my ⟨vow⟩; I've wander'd, poor fool, for a face sause a bonny, I little thought this was the way for to woo.
Hae na ye roos'd my red cheeks like the morning, an' roos'd up my cherry-red mou? Ye've come o'er the sea, muir, and mountain, what mair Johnny need ye to woo? An far hae ye wander'd, I ken, my dear laddie, now ye hae faund me, ye've nae cause to rue; Wi health we'll hae plenty, I'll never gang gaudy, I ne'er wish'd for mair than a heart that is true.
