THE BAR OF JUSTICE
MIR. BLUE JAY is PUT ON TRIAL
FOR HIS LIFE.
All Of the Evidence Points to His In
nocence of the Charges Against
Him and He Is Ac-
quilted.

A few days ago | received a letter from
a lady whose tender heart is filed with
indignation because the thoughtless boys
! her neighborhood have declared war
on the blue jays. The boys. if | UNDER
stand the case, have no intention Of
wrongdoing; on the other hand they
seem to be under the impression that
they are comforting a benefit on bird and
man, by Kidding the community Of a con-
hrmed deyourer of eggs and nestliugs.
Before denying the Righteousness of
the warfare, ii seems fair to ask from
what ource comes the information con-
corning the blue jays yillainy. Have
these boys actually seen great numbers
OF bird homes destroyed that the jays
might stay their hunger? If they have,
then | beg them to let no word Of mine
interrupt their useful work; let them
load their guns to the muzzle and give
no quarter. Otherwise, perhaps it may
be well for them to pause and consider
whether they are really waging a
righteous wa OF whether they are mere
ly killing helpless creatures which they
have condemned to death on hearsay
evidence. There is a law in all civilized
countries to the effect that when a citizen
Is charged with an offense, he Is en-
titled to a fair trial, and that he may not
be punished unless he is actually proven
guilty beyond q reasonable doubt. A
few years ago the blue jay was brought
to the bar of justice, charged with the
destruction of eggs and nestllngs. He
was tried ~impartially by competent
judges, who heard and weighed the evil
dence for and against as carefully as
though a mans life had been at stake,
and the expenses Of the trial were paid by
the United States government, The prin-
cipal witnesses in the case were a few
men who testified that they had seen the
blue jay eating eggs and tiedglings, and
292 blue jays, all of whom gave their lives
that they might be present at the trial,
and of whom 287 testified positively to
the falseness of the charge. The evidence
for the defendant wa so overwhelming

A Wonderful Discovery.

Broadland, S. Oak. March 2s.-Quite a
sensation has been created here by the
publication OF the story Of q. w. Gray,
who after a special treatment for three
months was PROSTATE and helpless and
given up to die with Bright's Disease.
Bright's Disease has always been consld'
cred i~ncuraple, but evidently from the
story told by Mr.. Gray. there is a remedy
which will eare it, even in the most adj
vanced stages. This is what he says:
Il was helpless as a little babe. My
wife and | searched everything and read
everything we could find about Bright's
Disease, hoping that / would be able to
find a remedy. After many failures my
wife insisted that | should try Dodd's
Kidney Pills. l praise God for the day
when ! decided to do so, for this remedy
met every phase of my case and in a
short time / was able to get out of bed,
and after a few weeks treatment was a
strong, well man. Dodd's Kidney Pills
saved my life
A remedy that will cure Bright's Disease
will cure any lesser Kidney Disease.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly the
most wonderful discovery which modern
medical research has given to the world.

THE BLUE JAY.

shat the jury returned a verdict Of mot
guilty" without leaving the court room.
This is, of course, just one way Of telling
the story, which Is nevertheless a true
one. The United States government in
1896 caused the food Of the blue jay to be
made the subject of a rigid Investigation.
An examination was made of 292 stom-
achs of blue jays collected in every
month of the year, from % states, the
District of Columbia and Canada. In
only five of all these stomachs were there
found the remains of birds or OF the
shells of small BIRDS eggs. OF the three
egg shells found In three Of the stomachs
one and probably two were empty shells,
eaten after the young had been Matched.
It might be claimed that the jays often
eat the contents of eggs without swallow
ing the shells, but by giving eggs to cap
tive jays 1t has been shown that the birds
are even more anxious for the shells than
for the contents.
A great many other facts came out at
this investigation. 1t was shown that
more than three-fourths of the blue jays
food consists of vegetable matter, and
that of the animal food the greater part
was made up of insects, though there
was a small percentage OF spiders, myra-
pods, snails, fish, s~alamaders, tree frogs,
mice and birds. Most of the insect food
| consisted of beetles, grasshoppers and
c~aterpillars, and besides these there were
a few bugs, wasps and flies. 1t was found
that blue jays eat insects every month
of the year, and the proportion OF In
sect food varies from one per cent. In
January to over &C per cent. in August,
the average for the year being nearly %
per cent. Destructive grasshoppers,
crickets and locusts begin to form an
important item in the blue jays bill OF
fare as early as July, amount to nearly
20 per cent. of his food during August,
and he continues to eat them in consider
able numbers until December. Amongst
the c~aterpillars to which the bird gives
his attention may be mentioned those OF
the brown-tail and gypsy moths. Which

parts of the country.
The vegetable food Of the blue Jay
was found to consist OF mast" such as
acorns, chestnuts, beechnuts, hazelnuts
and sumac; grain, such as corn, wheat,
bats and buckwheat; fruit, such as APP
pies, strawberries, huckleberries, wild
cherries, chokecherries, wild grapes and
efierberries, and miscellaneous things
such as oak gals, mushrooms andtubers.
On the whole, 1t was found that the
