alton. makes the question of bird impor-
tation and expectation, and especially
that of domestication, timely and inter-
esting. Right here let it be stated that,
with the single exception of the so-called
English sparrow, no European bird that
has found second home in this country,
has abused the hospitality shown it.
And quite a number OF transatlantic
songsters and warblers have been inn
ported during n decade or two. The
great lovers and knowers OF birds, the
Germans, have especially distinguished
themselves in systematic efforts at i'm
porting and then propagating number
of the most charming little song birds
that render the forests and gladeS, the
hedges and bushes OF the fatherland so
tuneful. Among these may be men
toned more particularly the nightingale
and redbreast, the linnet and thrush, the
finch and the lark and the robin. Speci-
mems of these may now be met with in
the parks and gardens, or, as in the case
of the lark, on the boundless prairies.
While thousands of these have persisted
in the dangerous process of acclimatiza-
ton or as the prey of winged slayers, thou
sands of others have survived, have be-
come used to the great climatic differ
ences between their old home of more
equable temperature and their new,
bracing, trying atmosphere.
1t is true-though known to but COM
paratively few Americans-that a much
greater number of American birds have
been exported of recent years to years
TO Europe And it was likewise again
the country where birds are cherished
and petted, and loved and praised the
most in prose and song, in Germany,
where these little American strangers
were received most kindly and domesti-
Gated most quickly. There are, it is
true. few varieties of American birds,
among them our national favorite, the
mockingbird, that have become pets in
thousands of European homes, in En-
gland and France as well as in Ger
many and in the Scandinavian north.
But these, as well as that magnificent
little fellow, the cardinal grosbeak,
popularity known across the water as the
Virginia nightingale, are kept in cages,
and hence never acquire citizens rights.
There are other pretty American birds
kept in captivity over there as well,
such as the catbird, the Carolina parrot,
the red-winged blackbird, the yellow
hammer and the bobolink, the meadow
lark and the bluejay and indigo finch.
These are all valued more or less highly
In Germany especially, either because
OF their melodious song, or else because
of their brilliant plumage or their docili
ty and cleverness at executing tricks.
The most expensive OF these Gagged
American pets, the mockingbird, is, how
ever, at the same time one of the hardi-
lest OF them, because very quickly ac-

climatcd and learns 10 mate and
TO rear young ones on foreign soil
Hence, too, the mockingbird is such a
general favorite with dealers and lovers
OF birds in the old country. With that
this bird is capable OF learning new
tunes all the time, and it therefore richly
repays the patience and attention re-
quired to teach il and to develop il into
flrst-class songster. The case is sim
liar with that other European favorite,
the cardinal grosbeak. They are in song
from March TO September, beginning at
the first appearance of dawn and repeat
ing favorite stanza or musical passage
twenty or thirty times successfully.
While their song. therefore, must be
termed a little monotonous, these ex-
ceedingly handsome birds more than
atone for this one little deficiency by
their sprightly figure and gaudy plumage,
as well as by the bell-like clearness OF
their voice and the inexpensivenes Of
their board and lodging.
But these American varieties, as well
as some of the others mentioned, while
affording pleasure TO their keepers and
owners, cannot be said to have acquired
European citizenship. It Is quite likely
that IL they were given a. chance to re-
.urn TO their old haunts In this country
they would gladly forswear oil allegiance
TO Emperor Wilhelm or Queen Victoria.

beaks, the rose breasted and the cardinal
one, would be Of vastly more benefit
than injury to the farmer. They feed
their young almost exclusively on in
sects, especially caterpillars and Larvae.
Their prime value, Of course, would con-
sist in their being birds of decorative
plumage as well as songsters. The same
might be said of the American thrushes,
flnches, etc. Both the American indigo
aid purple finch would be of use to
farmers around orchards. Their Access
sion to the ranks of our native birds,
therefore, would mean q distinct advan-

A little New York boy of 4 years
was much astOnished when he awoke
one morning last week to find a little
sister i'm his mothers arms. "Where
did it come FROM" he asked, with his

"From God" was the reply.
"Who brought it," was the next
very natural question.
"An angel"
He thought for moment, and then
exclaimed:

the angel, too?"-Arkansaw Traveller.

THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY.

There is little or no water in the Rio
Grande at Albuquerque and "nary drop"
south of that point. This sort of disaster
has come to the people OF this fertile
valley very often of late years, and it
ought to set them to thinking. Strange
to say, however, very little attention is
paid to it by the press OF that region !;
possibly because of the fear that discus
sion OF the subject will attract attention
and prove detrimental. But this is very
contracted view to take OF it. The sub
iect, unpleasant as it is admitted to be,
NAV as we'll be faced first as last. The
prosperity Of all New Mexico depends too
much upon the thrift of the people along
this valley to warrant the taking OF any
such view of the matter.
"What is to be done?" This is the
question that every citizen and every
newspaper within 100 miles Of the Rio
Grande valley should be asking. 1t will
not do to longer cast it aside with the
idea that such misfortunes comes only in
un precedented dry years. This was the
case in former years, but conditions have
changed. Irrigation bitches in Colorado
and northern New Mexico now absorb
the bulk of the flow down the Rio Grande,
and much larger area in the central
portion of the valley is under cultivation
now than in former years, 80 that ne
matter how heavy the snow and rainfall
in the mountainous regions these changed
conditions will ever in the future deprive
the people of the central and lower Sec
tons of the valley of anything like an
adequate water supply.
1t is apparent then, that something
must be done, and quite naturally the
subject OF storage reservoirs comes up in
this connection. The reservoirs must
be built. This is the only remedy. Let
the press and people take up the matter
and push it.
