SAVE OUR BIRDS.

1t is highly encouraging to see tn
attention attracted by a despatch
printed in "The Philadelphia Press
few days ago saying that contrac
has been signed in Delaware for the
delivery of 20, 600 birds to the MILL
merry trade in New York City. AS thi
would have compelled the killing O
that number of birds it was recognized
that great slaughter among thu
feathered tribe was about to begin ant
that the friends of the birds must ex
ert themselves promptly and energeti
cally if they were to prevent it.
Publicity bore quick fruit. The
Delaware State Game Protective AS
ISOLATION at once began to search fol-
a law to prevent the slaughter; the
president Of the American Ornitholog-
lists Union called on Governor Tun-
nell, of Delaware, to issue procla-
nation ordering all officers to arrest
persons killing birds in violation OF
law, and the Farmers Association OF
Delaware entered it's protest against
the contemplated destruction. The
result is that public opinion is found
to be so strong in opposition to this
bird slaughter that the harm has prob
ably been checked, for the time being
at least
A new direction, however, has been
given to the effort to save the birds by
pointing out to farmers the loss which
results to them from the destruction
of birds. Mr.. William butcher, treas
urer of the American Ornithologists'
Union has sent out leafet in which
he says that agriculture loses $780, :
600, 900 every year because of the at
tacks of injurious insects. AS the
birds diminish in number the loss in
creases, a fact which he declared is
proved beyond peradventure. A
difference of only per cent in the
value of the farm products means a
iOSS VduuA w tlAC tolttA NuluC VI tuc
trade of the country. AS a
matter of fact, the farmer is the man
who is paying the greater part of the
bills of the land
This places the question of bird
not on sentimental but
On commercial grounds. The material
interests of the farmers are appealed
20. Other countries are taking this
natter III hand; a recent despatch
rom Washington says: Minister
longer has informed the State De-
that at the request of the
diplomatic corps in Picking, the Chi
lese Government has prohibited the
of pheasant skins The
birds were being ruthlessly slaughter
ID to meet the demand in the European
markets for their plumage. - America
hould not be behind in this matter
md Congress should pass the bill on
his subject now before it, or one
wen more stringent. The attempt to
laughter 10000 birds in Delaware
hows the need of such legislation.

DISAPPOINTMENT DANGEROUS.

The question of sewers in Orange
will probably soon be settled, by the
construction of an up-to-date system
for sewering both that city and the
towns adjoining-in reality one com
munity, though somewhat scattered.
This will mark new era for our
neighbors and one which has been
postponed altogether too long.
What is absolutely necessary for
Orange is just as essential for Morris
town, and if our citizens have any
idea of the eternal fitness of things, -
the sooner definite action is taken
relative to the installation of sewer
system, the sooner will new era be
noticeable here.
We quote from recent report of
Carroll Phi. Bassett on the drainage
and sewerage of Orange:
There are probably over 1000
teaching cesspools and porous privy
vaults in the city Into these more
than one million gallons of liquid filth
is poured every twenty -four hours.
This liquid, taking into solution
whatever it may from the foetid mass
which it enters, soaks into the ground.
In the lower lands of the valleys it
helps TO raise the level of ground
water, which pushes itself out hori-
zontally to surround cellar walls and
force its way even into the cellars of
the poorer construction. On the
higher lands the liquid reaches out
from the yault to appear on the side
hills at lower level or join with the
surface water in the lower lands.
In general way these facts are
recognized by your citizens, but there
is no adequate realization of their i'm
port Decency forbids description
of the intimate contact which this
practice causes between your citizens
and this filth. There is revulsion
of feeling at its contemplation The
existence of the public water supply
has only increased the difficulty, for
it forces the filth further through the
soil. A wet, undrained soil soaked
with rain water, and its necessary
correlative damp cellars, are the di
rect cause of many ailments and dis
eases, such as rheumatism. bronchitis
and phthisis. But dampness in cellars
caused by liquid filth from cesspools
and privy vaults develops the mos
malignant poisons. The first con
ditions are bad, but the second coulC
hardly be worse, These con
ditions must be tolerated until /;

evils provided.
Economy the public have Away
in mind. 1t is important, therefore
to know that properly designe,

est means of efficiently removing
soil waters. The cost Of maintainin,

London Punch" caricatured the
custom of giving thanks to the AL
mighty for victory in war so effective
ly in 1870 that popular ridioule, it
was thought has killed it. The late
Emperor William, or as he was then,
King William of Prussia, was accus-
toned, during the Franco Prussian
War to send despatch to Queen
Augusta in Berlin, ascribing every
victory of the Prussians over the
French to divine Providence.
Punch" paraphrased one of these
dispatches in the following verse:

The Chicago Chronicle" says that
early reports from the great cattle
ranges in the West indicate that the
winter has been favorable to stock.
that losses have been few and unim-
portant and that animals come out of
the season in remarkably good con-
dition. If these reports prove to be
correct, the result should soon show
itself in the beef market by reduc-
ton in the price of meat.

The position of Vice. Chancellor
Pitney in the Madison quarantine
case has been misunderstood, and
therefore misrepresented. AS it now
appears, his order releasing the men
who entered Madison from Morristown
was based upon the irregularity of the
action in arresting the men and the
failure Of the Madison authorities to
show any cause why the men should be
detained in custody The necessity
of supporting health ordinances is APP
parent to all, but it is also necessary
that their enforcement should be care
full and with due warrant of law.

NOT AN IDEAL MARCH.
March yeans the lammie,
And buds the thorn,
And blows through the flint
Of an Ox'S horn

VI an OK norm.
So says the old North country rhyme
about March, and everybody who cares
to remember the bitter days which
this month generally brings with it
will appreciate the forcible phrase of
the last two lines. If the character
of the month is truly set forth in the
weather lore, it stands condemned as
the least reliable month of all the
year, as its colloquial name of
March many weathers" indicates.
The ideal March should be dry and
clustering and not too warm. If it
fails in some of these respects it may
still redeem it's reputation, if only it
be dry. That is the quality of March
weather upon which the greater num-
Der of weather proverbs lay most
stress. The old saying that March
dust is worth guinea bushel" is
familiar in almost every language of
the Northern Hemisphere.

POSSIBILITIES.
Senator Frye at Philadelphia

Senator Frye at Philadelphia
The possibilities of the Philippine
archipelago are worth looking at 1t
has almost every kind of mineral; it
has magnificent forests; it has as
good tillable land as the world affords
it can raise hemp of the best quality
without limit and the demand for 1t
is without limit; it can raise, as |
told you. sugar and tobacco almost
without limit it raises cobra and
rice and all sorts of things. There is
coal in almost every island of the
archipelago. Why, in the island OF
Cebu, up on a mountain top, there is
a coal mine cropping out on the sur
face. 1t has cropped out for over the
three hundred years that Spain has
had possession. 1t is better coal than
the japanese lump. If Spain had
possession for a Thousand years
longer it would be cropping out there
still. You let the Yankees get in there,
and in six months there will be a
railroad from Cebu port to the Cebu
mine, there will be- thousand men
working that mine, and they will land
that coal at Cebu port at 5 shillings a
ton, and we have been paying for
Dewey's coal from $40 to $40 ton.
The possibilities are enormous.
1t is now stated that the price of
the motor cycle, about which there
I has been so much talk, will be $400
instead of $3.50. as first reported If
that is to be the case, then goodby
to the motor cycle. A man who can
afford to pay $4OO can afford to pay
5000 more and get regular automo-
bile. At $3.50 there would have been
big sale OF the cycles So the in
dications are that the bicycle will not
be entirely supplanted during the
coming season, at all events.
1t is recorded that farmer in Full
ton County, Ohio, recently sold 1875
head of sheep for $500, being an aver
age of &c. 40 per head The farmers
there say that under the Wilson free
trade period that number of sheep
would not have brought over 1925,
and that the owner would have had
to look around long while for a
purchaser at any price
The Madison Eagle naturally
squirms when the recent action of the
Madison officials was referred too by

merchants were allowed to deliver

the Board keep it's home merchants
on the easterly side of the supposed
danger line?

A curious question has arisen as to
the proper date of Easter this year.
The church calendars make it April
10. Easter is the Sunday after the
full moon which happens on or next
day after the 21st of March. The next
full moon after March 81 this year is
assumed in the ecclesiastical tables,
to occur April Id; but the actual as
Economical full moon, it seems, is at
LOO a. m. Sunday, April 10. and when
the Paschal full moon is on Sunday,
Easter is the Sunday after, which
would make it properly April 30 The
discussion is purely academic of
course, and the church people will
remark that if the moon misses it's
Paschal rotundity by sixty-two
seconds, so much the worse for the
moon.
