Protection for Birds.

Bird lovers are rejoicing over the first
furits'' of their labors for the protection
of the feathered race. and much is now ex-
pected of the fish commission. This body
has been given the title of the commission
of fish. fisheries and birds. and its powers
have been enlarged so that it has the
authority to propagate, distribute and re-
store such game birds and insect-eating
species as are useful to man. and to bring
species from other countries that are like
ly to be of advantage to this. The fish
commission has protected the fish in the
rivers and ponds. and has stocked many
streams that pot hunters had robbed in
unsportslnanlike ways.

Vege tarian -CEecodiIea.

A report by George Hoare, one of the officials of the British Central Af- rfea Proteetorate, summarized in the local gazette. contains some curious details of the efoeodiIes of Lake Chiuta. They would seem to be strict vegetarians, for net only have they never been known to attack the men fishing in the lake, but their tracks were shown by tie natives to the writer at a distance of several miles from its shores, whence they are said to travel overland in search of roots. This is contrary to the habits of all known species Of cfocodi1es, which are. in the first place. purely carniVorous, and, in the second. so helpless on land from their inability to turn. except in a large circle, that they never leave the immediate vicinity of their watery or muddy home. Efforts will according Iy be made to obtain 9 specimen of this abnormal type of the formidable amphibian.

MEN AND WOMEN.

Why isn't a good wife a woman pos sessed?
 Why does a girl seldom attempt to extinguish the spark of love?
 Some engagements end happily, while others end in marriage.
 Cold cash melts lots of hearts that are not affected by warm love.
 The realities of matrimony are usu- ally less pleasing than the Illusions Of love.
 Some bachelors voluntarily join the ranks of the Benedicts and some are drafted.
 All the classics and metaphors at the command of a woman school teacher don't prevent her jumping on 3 chair at sight of a mouse.
