Consequences OF IIMIiaE bird.


''SteI are being taken to pass laws in ev-
cry state of the Union to make it a criminal
offence to kill birds for any purpose, except
strictly game birds used for food aud such
birds AZ are needed for scientific purposes.
How can you make a crime out OF a mat
ter OF sentiment9'
''This Is something more than a matter Of
sentiment, something much more. The loss
of the birds which are almost inseclivorous
has already caused quite appreciable loss on
the farmers crops, aud We are destined to
see plague of inseot life so great as to entail
important commercial consequences to the
country at large, Nothing but birds can reg
ulate the increase Of insects and keep 1t with
in bounds, and to destroy the birds as we
have done is a crime Of the highest order
against society, and will cause loss and waste
incalculshle."
For every wing on woman's hat to day
some one will suffer loss, some one will go
hungry and lose some Joy out of life. II it
would be crime to destroy the grass Of the
fields and bills, because grass is necessary for
the support Of life, so it is a crime to destroy
that which nature has provided as the sole
potector of that and its kindred grain, the
birds. Nothing can make it less than a
crime crime against the order of the
world, against human society and welfare"

How COLUMBUS FOUND AMERICA The fol.
lowing story comes from a school in the
Midlands. The master told the boys of the
third class to write a short essay on Oolum-
bus. The following was sent up by an ambi-
tious esssyst
Columbus was a man who could make an
egg stand on end without breaking it. The
King of Spain said to Clumbus:
Can you discover America? ?
Yes said Clumbus, If you will give me
a ship
''So he had a ship, and sailed over the sea
in the direction where he thought America
ought to be found The sailors quarreled,
and said they believed there was no such
place. But, after many days, the pilot came
to him and said
'Clumbus, 1 see land.
Then that is America, said Oumbus.
"When the ship got near, the land was full
of black men. Clumbus said
4" rs this America /?
g Yes, it is, said they. Then Cumbus
said
I suppose you are the Niggers?'
Yes, they said we are The Chief
said
4 suppose you are OlumbusY
you are right, said he.
Then the Chief turned to his men and
said:
/" There is no help for it we are discov-
cred at last. .'"-LOndOR Standard.

Memorial Day.

Memorlhl nay
Earth, your floral treasures bring;
Birds, your sweetest carols sing;
Skies, be fair ;soft breezes, play;
Bells ring loud and clear to-day,
Bands, awake your sweet refrains,
Clang your loftiest martial strains
Starry flags and banners, wave
In memory Of the true and brave.
Men, your richest, noblest speech,
That remembering hearts may reach
Upward with faith sublime,
While we greet this hallowed time.
Softly, reverently we go
Through the May mOrn's ten der glow,
Where alone the grasses keep
Watch above our heroes sleep.
Some who fell mid battle fame
Seemed too young for death to claim;
Der their graves let choicest flowers
Blossom into fragrant bowers.
Others died In manhood's power,
Leaving fame-a royal dover;
Near the spot their names enshrine
Strew the laurel and the vine.
Mid the muslc-throbbing hours,
Flashing steel, and wreaths OF flowers,
Hearts, your grateful homage pay
For nations peace to-day.

The Lilac.DlOOna

o lilac-bloom sweet lilac-bloom!
Thy fragrance floats into my room,
And with it brings to me to-day
The memory Of another May
A May whose happy secrets lie
Hid in my heart from every eye.
/ know, o lilac-bloom to-day
Thou'rt fair as in that other May.
! know thy perfume floating here
Is sweet as in that other year;
But ahl some glamor thou didst shed,
Some subtle charm, has from thee fed.
And yet, and yet, o lilac-bloom!
There fingers still in thy perfume
A spell that binds my heart to thee,
For 1t awakens memory;
And as breath thy sweets, once more
Return to me the days of yore.
Faces long hid meath grassy tombs
Smile on me from thy tossing plumes,
And voices hushed for years in death
Are borne upon thy fragrant breath;
Again, as in my girlhood's hours,
crown me with thy purple flowers.
All, Timel Thy triumph now is Ger;
tremble at thy power no more.
And tyrant Death, what boots thy reign
While Memory gives TO me again
My loved and lost, and all my room
o Thy fragrance fills, sweet lilac-bloom.

PEOPLE WHO LIVE NEAR ACTIVE VOLCANOES
have good many causes for vigilance aud
anxiety. II the volcano is too active they
may be overwhelmed by lava flood or
shower of ashes II it stops working alto
gether, they at once begin to look out for a
violent explosion in some other direction.
The great crater of Kilauea, in the Hawaiian
Islands, has recently become inactive. The
lakes of fire have disappeared, and where
they glowed and seethed a great chasm ex-
lists. But the people are not satisfied. They
are now anticipating a severe eruption from
the volcano on the summit of Mauna Loa, the
mountain which rises between Ave and six
thousand feet about Kilauea. In all cases of
sudden cessation in the activity Of a crater
which has been working steadily, the pre-
sumption is in favor of fresh outburst some
where else, but it is as likely to occur at dis
tanoe as in the vicinity, and 1t may take the
form Of an earthquake in Japan or California
instead of an eruption from Mauna Loa. The
fact is that volcanoes are more uncertain than
politics, and science has so far failed in at
tempting to account for their eccentric move
ments, though sometimes 1t is possible to
predict special action.
