SLAUGHTER of the Birds.

Some idea of the terrible sacrifice
of bird life TO millinery is afforded
by the London auctions regularly
held for the feather trade. Last year
there were six, at which 1,6OS
packages of Osprey" feathers were
catalogued A package is of variable
size probably averaging over 30
ounces, making a total of at least
1920 ounces. Four birds are re-
quired 10 furnish one ounce "
plumes, so that these sales represent
the slaughter of 12S,640 birds.
Most of these BIRDS came from
India, where a recent government
edict looks to diminishing the killing
of the farmers friends. The de-
crease of this supply if fashion re-
mains bloodthirsty, will mean IN
accelerated demand from other
sources florida especially suffers
from that pest of pests, the hunter
who kills birds for their plumage

HER GIFT.

Fate chose a season in it's early prime,
When buds do swell, and golden
grasses spring
From fragrant earth, and fitting birds
then sing
Their sweet aubade; first piped in
southern cline,
And there rehearsed, then later trilled
sublime,
Ger northern fields and streams un
loosed from King
Frosts mighty hand. Twas then a
wOndrous thing
Befell an epoch made by Father
Time.
For then a little maid gan first to
smile,
Which, when the elfins saw, they
knew her fate,
And brought a precious gift as her
estate.
The gift of music; that she might be-
guile
The lives Of men from all that's sor
did, vile,
Uplift their souls, and make them
more than great.

THE JAPANESE GARDEN.

The classical garden, like a sonnet,
is governed by special laws of har-
mony and rhythm. 1t must have it's
five hills, it's ten trees and its four
teen stones. You can get along with
out the hills, and you can get along
without the trees, but you cannot get
along without stones. Indeed, the
nothing but an archipelago Of rocks
in a sea of white pebbles. The stones
must be the foundation, the rest are
mere accessories. Speaking stones
are what is wanted-stones that sug
gest moods and passions-for the
Japanese recognize that there are SER
mons in stones. Each stone has it's
name and relative place in the compo-
sition. There is the guardian stone
in the center and opposite it the belle
view stone. Across the cascade is
the moOnshade stone, and so on.
The hills unmask each other by rule
The principal hill has its two foothills,
its spurhills, it's distant peak, seen
through a valley, and the low hill,
that must stand on the opposite side
of the lake.
AS there is principal stone and
principal hill, SO must there be
principal tree" the shojin-boku
around which the Tree of Perfection,
the Tree OF Evil, the Tree Of the Set
ting Sun, the Tree of Science and the
Tree of Solitude bow their lesser
heads.
These are the essentials. Now add
one pond, one island, two stone Ian
terms, three bridges, and mix thorough
ly, garnish with lotus and serve with
goldfish and mandarin duck. There is
recipe for a Japanese garden.-Wil-
liam Verbeck in Country Life.

JUDGE COLE DEAD.
Ex-Chief Justice Passes Away at Age
of 81


Milwaukee, May 6.-ExChief JUS
tice Orsamus Cole died yesterday,
aged 81 He had been feeble for some
time, and, in fact, old age forced his
retirement as chief justice in 1892.
Since then he had resided with his
son, Sidney II. Cole, a book dealer of
this city. He was born in Madison
county, n. Y, in 1919, graduated from
Union college in 1913, located to prac.
tice law at Potosi, Wis, in 1915, rep
resented Grant county in the consti-
tutiOnal convention of 1913, was
chosen to congress as a whig in 1S4S,
served one term, was elected to the
supreme court in 1855, finally becom-
ing chief justice. His first wife Julia

second (Mrs. II. c. Garnhart) only
few years prior to his retirement.

PRORlNCIALISM IN HIGH PLACES.
Many Much-Traveled New Workers
Who Have Never Seen Washington.

Who Have Never Seen Washington.
Take the people of New York, for
example. 1t has been said many times
that New Workers are in some re-
spects the most provincial people in
the United States. This is, of course,
slanderous But the fact is that there
are people in New York who have
travelled beyond seas, who have Wis
tied Paris and Budapest, and Bombay
and Hongkong, and Jerusalem and
Vladivostok, who have never been in
Washington in their lives. OF course,
it is inconvenient to prove this state
ment, but the fact is that two New
Workers of wealth, education and re-
finement are visiting in Washington
at this writing who confess that this
is their first visit, although they have
travelled in Europe and Asia until they
are tired of globe-trotting. These are
isolated instances.
Recently there came to Washington
man who had accumulated a fortune
of several millions of dollars in one OF
the greatest manufacturing industries
OF IHlS country. his HOme anu tne
seat of the industry he founded are in
an interior city, but the company has
branches in every large city in the
world He had travelled in many lands
but he had not been in Washington
since the civil war until this winter
He had been so busy he had not
thought of the changes that must have
taken place at the capital. He saw
everything with the wondering eyes
of a child. The senate interested and
puzzled him greatly; the library OF
congress made him ashamed that he
had believed Europe possessed all the
architecture and art worth having;
the executive departments were run
on a different plan than he had sup
posed. He found that the men he had
believed great were small and the men
he had believed second-raters were
leaders in legislation and administra-
tion.-Walter E. Clark, in Golfers.
