CHEERING. IF TRUE.

The talk that the President has cal ly decided to cali an extraordinary ses- sion of the Fifty-Eigbth congress is de- nied, but it is explained that he is much in earnest in his desire to have the Gu ban treaty ratified and made effective. It is said that So strong is this desire that he has considered the advisability of calling the congress into extraordi- nary session this spring if the Senate should permit the Cuban treaty to fail through lack of a quorum. That, how ever, is a contingency which he consid- CTS improbable. The belief of the Pres ident and of his advisers is said to be that the Senate will take definite action upon both the Panama canal and Gu ban reciprocity treaties at the present special session. Assurances to that ef- feet have been received from the lead CTS of the Senate. The President be- lieves also that this work of the Senate will have been accomplished by the last of next week.
 Let us hope so. Another session of congress would indeed be extra. The country has had enough for awhile.

THE DETERMINATION OF FIFE
 WOODCOCk.

Unless the bird-lovers and the true sportsmen throughout the eastern
 states join hands at once and stand fast for the protection of the wood-cock,
 this noble game bird must pass and
 pass quickly. This is not my opinion
 alone; it is the opinion of every we'll
 informed bird student-it is the opinion of the United States government,
 which has taken great pains to learn
 facts.
 Looked at from the point of view of
 the naturalist the sportsman or the epicure: the woodcock is one of the
 finest game birds, and every one, no
 matter from what point of view he re-
 gards the bird, should now make the
 best effort that is in him to protect that
 annihilation. A brief description of the
 woodcocR and it's habits is necessary to
 enable us to fully comprehend the
 situation. The range of this
 nocturnal snipe is the United States,
 east of the ninety seventh degree of
 longitude. northward into the eastern
 Manitoba, southern Ontario, Quebec.
 New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The
 best WOodcock country is in the Missis-
 sippi Valely and east of that in the
 middle and northern states, where, in
 the numerous swamps and marshes, the bird can secure it's favorite food of earthWorms. It obtains these by pro- ping for them in the soft mud with it's long straight bill, and as it can move the tip of it's upper rnandible independ- ently of the lower one, it is able to grasp it's prey as with a thumb and finger and draw it from the ground. It has been shown that the bird eats much more than it's own weight in these worms in twenty-four hours; a fact which is scarcely in favor of the birds s l chance of survival since it must be difficult for it to obtain a sufficient quantity of it's favorite food during those long periods of drought when the swamps are dried up and when the mud is baked so hard that the snipe cannot force his bill in to it.
 The N1oodcook is migratory, leaving the northern states late in the autumn | and returning amongst the earliest of the spring migrants. As it breeds throughout it's range, there is a wide variation in it's times of nesting. In the gulf states the hens may lay as early as the first week in January, while at i it's northern limit the nesting may be l delayed until early June. The nest is very simple affair, consisting of few
 leaves or a little grass on the ground
 in a wood or in the higher part of a swamp. Here the hen bird sits on her four buff eggs, her mottled plumage
 resembling her surroundings so closely I that one may almost step upon her be- Continued on Fifth Page,)
