Birds in Women's Hat.

(From the Ladies' Home Journal.
There is practical element in this
desired reform, and it is this: ANYBODY
who has given even the most oursory at.
tention or study to botany knows that
all forms of life have their origin in
plant life. Every animal which exists
either lives directly on some plants. or
on Insects which destroy plants. The
birds find their sustenanoe mainly in the
insects that injure vegetation and often
times kill 1t entirely. a sufficiently
large number of insects will kill a crop.
If there are no birds, naturally the in
seots have everything their own way. /
have recently gone to considerable pains
to find out form farmers to what extent
the decrease of birds is affecting their
crops, and 1 find that the condition is
more alarming than we. who live in the
cities and large centres, have any idea
of. All the farmers to whom spoke or
wrote agreed that last year the incrense
of insects was unusually great, while the
decrease of birds was even greater. For
every hundred birds killed, about ssixty
are born. Hence it is easy to see that
the greater the number of birds killed
the more exposed become the crops of
the farmer to the insects. The same may
be said of our trees for the bird Ia really
the balance of nature. 10 what extent
this balance Is being upset by fashion
is easy to realize from the statement
that during 1895 the plnInage of over
5000, 900 birds was received in New
York. 1t is these things which
would like women to think about when
they purchase birds for their hats Nat
urally supply depends upon demand
If women would moderate their buying
of hats adorned with birds or their plu-
mage fewer birds would be slaughtered.
Those who kill the bird cannot be right
ly attacked. They simply supply de-
mand. The reform in this matter lies
with the women who have adopted this
fashion.

THREE MILES IN A WATER PIPE.
STOPPING Posture from Somerville. to
Cambridge.

One of the Italian workmen emplo, ed
in laying the line of big pipes for the
metropolitan water supply in Somerville
was shut into the main when work
long hours before he worked his way to
fresdom again. His name is Francisco
Lazaroni. He and the others were at
work yesterday in Walnut street, Somsr-
Vile, and from that point back through
Cam bridge to the foot Of Magazine
the line is completed and the trench is
filed in.
When the men left of work at six
o. clock last night, Iazaroni missed his
pipe, and thinking he had left it in the
main he went back to hunt for it. His
minutes later the entrance to the main
was boarded up for the night, as usual,
without thought that man WAS still
inside. One workman had noticed La.
zaroni's return into the main, however,
and this man. when he was half way in
to Boston, suddenly remembered that he
ahd not seen Lazaroni come out again,
and had not seen him among the other
members of the party after quitting
work. Becoming convinced that Laza-
roni was imprisoned in the main, this
friend got off the car and went back to
Sornerville. only to find that the entrance
to the main WAS undisturbed, that Laza-
roni was not in evidence. and that no
one had heard any calls for assistance
Bethinklng himself of the other opening
| into the main at the foot of Magazine
street, Cam bridge, the friend jumped
| upon Cam bridge car and was soon at
the opening on the river bank. where he
| sat down to wait.
| Meanwhile Lazaroni. in the big pipe
| had been having trying experience
When he found that the light was cut off
| from the end of the main in Walnut
street, no knew that he was prisoner
| He tried to attract attention by shout
| ing, but the wOrkmen were gone, inclu-
ding the night-watOhman, who had
| started down toward the other end of
the trench. and LazarUni could not
| make anyone hear him. He knew that
the only other opening was at the foot
of Magazine street, three miles away, SO
he soon turned about and started for
| hat end. The main is four feet in diam
eter, and LaZaroni is foot and two in l.
ches taller than that; SO he found the
| stopping position which he WAS compelled
to assume very trying, and Ind to stop
frequently to sit down and rest. More
than that. the unbroken darkness him
dered him; and he had to grope his way
slowly, in order to get around the turns
| without harm. AT length, after being
three hours in the main, he emerged
from the opening at the river, fnlnt from
his exertion, hungry, and temporarily
blind from his long experience in the
| dark. He was glad to find his friend
waiting to meet him, and as soon as he
was assisted TO his home, the friend
spread the news of lIazaroni's ordeal
