the birds. Their lives are not, as many
suppose, utterly irresponsible and free
from care, but, on the contrary, ever
varied and ever altering-infiuence by
every change of season, hurried on by
every new impulse of their being, guided
by that destiny in which their own
wills play but a minor part. May
IS the time when the species is to
be perpetuated, if at all, so the whole
energy of the bird nature is directed to that
end. 1t is a wearisome ordeal for the
mother but happy one nevertheless, for
LIE means more to the palpitating spirit
at such times and the bird is exalted to
nearer kinship with man. There is the
delight of house building, the conjugal
felicity OF the mated pair, the pride OF the
mother and the sweet solicitude of
the father. the pangs of disappointment,
the wearisome doubts and cares of rearing
the young, the training for the flight; and
then. when all is done. the sundering of
tender ties-the parting of mother and Off

stern battle of existence, following the die

little it can to make the world a more
beautiful and more intense reality.

How happy are the birds in the glad
month of Mayl Here in Berkeley on the
slope of the hills the sun is warm and full
of the cheer OF summer; and the birds are
in the midst of their courtship and nest
ing. What plastering of mud nests there
is among the swallowsl what search for
eligible sites for homes among the merry
wrens and the blithesome linnetsl what
fashioning of dainty little nests by the
cumming birds! The bush-tit has swung
her marvellous purse of lichens among the
Iiveoaks, and the goldfnch has tucked
her soft little basket in an apple Dough.
All are happy and busy with the promise
of the spring.

over the hills am greeted with multi

Working For Uncle Sam.

There are government positions which
hold out excellent possibilities in the way
of developing a young mans qualities,
writes Edward W. Box in The Ladies'
Home Journal. But these are rare. For
the most part, and on general principles,
would not advise any young man to en-
ter the employ Of the government-that
Is, II he has any ambition. A government
position holds out attraction to the average
young man because he feels 1t is safe-that
Is, so far the payment of his salary is con,
oerned. Then, too, he is apt to believe
that government salaries are somewhat
higher than the salaries attached to civil
pursuits, But, to my mind, he buys these
"sure" elements at very dear cost tC
himself.
The average government clerkship is @
very poor affair. Not only Is 1t poor in it
self; but, in ninety cases out of hundred
1t means pure clerical routine. 1t has
about 1t peculiar sitting monotony anG
restraint which are apt to quench the fire
Of ambition. Promotion is impossible upor
the same lines as In business house. The
chances for development are meager
While there are exceptions to the genera
rule government service Is not the best
thing for any young fellow. He will bt
wiser IL he enters into the more fearless
freedom of civil pursuits and leaves the
average government position alone. Ii
the first, he can be what he likes; in tn,
latter, 1t Is doubtful.

The Diamond as a Friend.

"That's nv silent partner" said Tody
Hamilton, wLen / called attention to the
fact that he always wore his big diamond
beneath his vest.
"a good diamond" he explained, sis
about the best friend in need a travelling
man has. You may think it a case of van
ity, but 1t isn't-at least 1t isn't with q
majority of the men who wear them on
the road. A diamond Is the most con-
venient form of portable property and the
least ductuating in value. You may get
out of money in some faraway town, be
robbed on the road, lose your money or
blow it in on spree There you are
Your diamond Of the value of $3.50 will
stand you in for 800. You couldn't get
more than SF0 or something like that on a
watch worth $3.50 to $500. So, you'll see
most travelling men wearing good stone.
1t Is silent or special partner and stands
by a man at the right time.
"Circus men and theatrical people save
their money in diamonds. They see good
many ups and downs, and If they didn't
put their surplus cash into gems they'd let
1t all go and have nothing for rainy day.
An actress can this way both save her
money and be using it at the same time in
personal adornment We used to have a
man with the Barnum show who went
through the entire season dealing In dia-
monds with our people. He'd sell them
diamonds, buy them back or loan money
on them when the pOssessors were hard up
and run q regular diamond brokers' trade
with US exclusively. ."-Pittsburg Dis
