THE COMMON BIRDS OF WINTER.
Notes of Their Ways and Habits During
the Season of Billiards. and Deep Shows.
William Riggs in New York Indepen-
dent

lH4lAiaH llSRS III NGW 1 OFk 1uu6p6u-
dent.
OF the dozen or so inland birds that
winter in our Atlantic States north of
parallel AZ. nearly all lend themselves
readily to observation. The crow, the
blue jay, the greater and lesser spotted
woodpeckers, the junco, the snow bunt-
ing, song and mountain sparrows, the
ohickadee, the unhatch and the par
fridge, or ruffed grouse, can be observed
with the minimum of inconvenience by
anyone possessed of the necessary
patience and robust enough to tramp
through woods and over fields OF snow,
or loiter about farm buildings with the
mercury indicating, say, from 10 to 30
degrees Of frost. Even the hawks and
owls require but little extra caution
and somewhat greater familiarity with
the places which they affect. Some OF
the most interesting observations of bird
life, which it has been the lot of the
writer to chronicle, have been made
while walking or driving across the hills,
with the thermometer at zero, in the
face of biting wind. 1t is then that
the mountain sparrow manifests it's
shrewdness by retreating to late plowed
fields with a southwark slope, whose
burrows run east and west, slipping rap
lily along at the bottom of the depressions
where the sun is warmest and the wind
can least easily reach, and foragipg
among the grass heads, which have been
turned over but not covered by the share
and it is in similarly exposed situations
that one may watch the indeterminate
wheeling of the snow buntings, due to the
butterfly like conditions under which
they find their food. There is something
in the demeanor OF this bird, indicating
not so much shyDess as buoyant deter
mination 10 keep at distance from the
observer, that reminds one Of the ployer.
The fiocSs wheel from shoulder to shout
der and from point to point about the
hills in a bithe, inapprehensiye way,
feeding busily upon the seed heads when
they aIight, and apparently half uncon-
scious of their repeated and Gantalizing
retreats. Nesting well within the Arc

extremity of weather, theirs would seem
TO be the very perfection OF uncalculatlng
irresponsible existence. | have seen a
flock OF them, however. on particularly
cold and stormy day at work among the
weeds in a garden on the outskirts of
the village, whele they lent themselves
TO observation almost as readily as the
Junco or the soclalls.

selves to sheltered valleys, keeping up

The Holy Stone,

Rev. Francis Southworth, of the Sea-
mems Bethel, is much interested in all
nautical matters. and has lately been
looking up the word "holy stone" He
says in regard to it:
Looking at Webster just now my
eye fell upon the word "Holy-stone,n
defined: "A stone used by sailors to
scrub the deck; and so called in deris-
ion, it is said, from the dislike OF the
sailors to use it," This seemed to differ
from the idea gathered from nautical i'm
pressions outside the dictionary, and we
asked the old sailor if the reason it was so
named was not because it was the doom
of the sailors to holy-stone the decks
every Sunday, and almost never on any
other day? He responded, "Yes, that's
SO; I never knew it to be done any other
day but Sunday. They washed down
the decks most every day; but the holy
stone was used on the Sunday only.
And there's where the name came from.
A nd they used to say: 'tAll necessary
work must be done Sunday and no other
day"
Six days shalt thou labor; and do all
that thou art able;
And on the seventh, holy stone the deck
and scrub the cable"
And besides the holy stone which had
hole at each end, and was dragged
back and forth by two men at the oppo-
site ends, there was a small stone to use
in the hands. which the sailors called
the Bible; and still smaller one to
go up into the corners they named the
hymn book. There were many profane
jokes End honest curses mutterred over
these sacred implements. The reader
may imagine what the prayers and songs
might have been as the poor son of the
deep crawled about the deck on his
knees, engaged in his Sabbath services.
bill, what are you praying for there
on your kneesY"
q am praying that the shot may be
distributed in the same ratio as the prize
money is-the greatest share among the
officers" But think this thing has been
pretty well reformed out of existence by
the friends of seamen. There has surely
beon great change for the better since
