The Slaughter of the Innocents.

The robin, the JOY of our homes in early
spring, is killed by the bushel to supply
the hotels in Florida, and the bobolink
of the North is killed for his imprudence
when he becomes the rice bird of the
South.
The prairie hen and quail, which the
Western farmer is not allowed to kill on
his own land, is quickly appropriated by
the sportsman when the legalized season
comes round. But, saddest of all, thou
sands, of our prettiest and smallest birds
are slaughtered every year to supply or
naments for ladies' hats.
Certainly no nurseryman's wife or
daughter will use birds for any such pur-
pose. The time may come, and probably
will come, when it will be necessary to
have national laws to protect our insect
destroying birds, as has been done in
Germany and other European countries.

Massachusetts Public Library

The free puclc library movement in
the commonwealth of Massachusetts,
where the idea found its birth, now
stands very near completion so far as its
universal extension is concerned. There
are now only seven towns in the state
that are without free library privileges,
and these comprise less than one half OF
one per cent of the population. In the
free libraries of Massachusetts, there are
now 3,750,000 volumes. with an annual
circulation of 1860, 666, or over three
volumes to every inhabitant. The
amount given for libraries and library
buildings in Massachusetts in the shape
of gifts and requests reaches in money
alone to nearly So, OOC,OO ! The value Of
gifts in the way Of books, furniture pict-
ures, sculpture, ETC., would add enorm-
ously to this amount. Since the first re-
port of the library commission in Janu
ary, 1891, 40 towns have been adorned
with new library buildings costing 81,
3SS,000. These have mostly been gifts
generally from individuals and their cos
has not unfavorably effected the tax
rate. Gifts and requests to nine othe
towns, amounting to at least $500, 900
will eventually be expended Tor sucf
buildings. In five other towns new public
buildings for various uses, including free
library accommodations have been built
by the municipalities or given by private
beneficence. 1t the past year bequest:
and gifts for public library purposes have
amounted to more than $200,000. Ger
tain townships are so large in area ant
are so made up OF widely separate vii
lagos that a central library would moi
accommodate the public demand. Barns
table has therefore six independent FREE
libraries and Sutton has FIVE. Williams
