A young woman who has position as
assistant librarian at one of the largest
public libraries in Pennsylvania says that
she has a keen sympathy for the ticket
agents at railway stations-a sympathy
born of kindred woes
One day two well dressed young women
approached the desk. One of them took a
memorandum from her pocketbook.
Gan you tell me how many yards-oh,
that's the wrong list" she said, hasti
bringing forth another slip of paper.

"That you can probably find out by con-

a Song of Ecstasy.

In The Century there is paper on tho
"SonRs of American Birds, by John Bur
roughs. Mr.. Burroughs says:
A very interesting feature of our bird
songs is the wing song or song of ecstasy.
1t is not the gift Of many of our birds.
Indeed less than dozen species are
known to me as ever singing on the wing.
1t seems To spring from more intense ex-
element and self abandonment than tho
ordinary song delivered from the perch.
When the birds JOY reaches the point OF
rapture, il is literally carried of its feet,
and up it goes into the air, pouring out its
song as rocket pours its sparks. mo
skylark and the bobolink habitually do
this, but few others of our birds do 1t
only on occasions. Last summer, up in
the Catskills, added another name TO my
list of ecstatic singers-that OF the vespcr
sparrow. Several times / heard new
song in the air, and caught glimpse OF
the bird as 1t dropped back TO the earth.
My attention would be attracted by sue
cession of hurried, ohirping notes, followed
by a brief burst of song, then by the van
ishing form OF the bird. One day was
lucky enough to sec the bird ms 1t was ris-
Ing to it's climax In the air and identified
It as the vesper sparrow. The burst OF
song that crowned the upward light oil 40
OF 100 feet was brief, but 1t was brilliant
and striking and entirely unlike The lei
surely chant of the bird while upon tho
ground. 1t suggested lark, but was less
buzzing or bumming. The preliminary
chirping notes, uttered faster and faster as
the bird mounted In the air, were like tho
trail OF sparks which rocket emits before
its grand burst of color atthe top OF Its
