TO MANS ESTATE
WRITTEN TOR THE EVENING STAR By RICHARD SHELTON.
Copyright. 1904. by Richard B. Shelton.)

1t was II o'clock one Thursday morning
In early spring. The sunlight streamed
in through the study windows of st.
Luke's Parish House and filled the dim
little room with mellow, delightful
warmth. A bed of jonquils, just come
into bloom beneath the windows freight
ed the aid with pleasant prophecy of a
season of new life and vigor. Two lusty
robins, Drawing the dangers of the yet
frosty nights, were perched on an elm
outside, sending up their husky efforts
ut cheerfulness. The gardener, moving
about in the Parish House gardens,
whistled necessarily as he unbound the
various shrubs, ridiculously swathed in
their winter garb of straw.
The rector of st. Luke's sat at his desk
near one of the windows, writing his
Sunday sermon. The vigor and life of the
newly come spring ran strongly in his
veins-so strongly that his rapidly NOV
ing pen could scarce keep pace with his
thoughts. He rather envied the less con-
Centrated labors of the gardener below
which allowed him to whistle gay snatch
eS of song as he worked.
So absorbed was the rector in his work
that he gave no heed to the heavy foot
falls along the uncarpeted hall. nor did

The Two-Headed Eagle.

From the London Chronicle.
The symbol of the two-headed eagle Is
considered by some heralds to be merely
the result of the heraldic practice of ''dimi-
diation." which crept into English heraldry
during the reign Of Edward /. Dimidia-
ton was simply a child's way of impaling
two coats of arms on the same shield by
the primitive method of cutting each in
half and taking the dexter half of one and
the sinister half of the other and placing
them back to back. as 1t were. strange
two-headed beasts naturally resulted, as.
for instance when a lion and an eagle
were halved and Joined together. and the
griffin is supposed to have been evolved
from two lions rampant by Humiliation. 1t
robs the two-headed eagle of half it's ter
rors to know that it owes its origin to the
sort of childs play. The gryphon and mock
turtle that went out to sea with the whit
ing are far more serious creations.

from the couch.
I'm go now" he said simply
"PhfP'-the rector had laid a hand on his
shoulder want to see you here this af-
ternoon at 8. VIII you cornA'"
IF you like" said he, and went out.
The rector sat down at his desk again,
but his pen lay undisturbed in the rack and
the unfinished sermon was pushed one side.
He sat tilted back in his chair, staring out
at the jonquils in the parish house gardens.
For some time he sat thus, his brows puck
cred in a thoughtful frown. Then he rose,
and carefully placing the leaves of the SER
mon under q weight. ne drew ON his gloves
and donned his hat. He ran lightly down
the steps of the parish house and strobe
briskly down town.
1t was n trifie after when the rector re-
turned to the parish house. AS he entered
the study, he saw Philip Gardner waiting in
the easy chair. The rector gave him a
friendly "hello" and laid a bundle the
desk by the window.

Owing to the habits of spoilati mani

housekeeping within the city limits. To

BILE to humanity, both being eschewed by
the wary foreigner. Were it not for the
aggression of this nterloper Washington,
thanks to the Audubon societies and the
prevailing sentiment of bird preservation,
which they promote, might soon be enjoy
ing the cheerful presence of native wild
birds in their original abundance and more
than original security. Under the present
condition of almost complete foreign oc-
cupation, as far as the smaller birds are
concerned, it may be difficult to bring back
these forms of native birds of gay plumage
and cheerful song but the larger birds
which live in less fear of spoliatior, will
be glad to come back when gwen encour-
agement and assured of safety.
Last summer number of native birds
nested within well wooded grounds in North
east Washington. Two species of wood
peckers, the flicker and the redhead were
conspicuous the former successfully rear
ing a brood and the latter being suspected
of raising two broods, in the case of one
pair at least. The pair of fiickers occupied
well concealed quarters near the top of a
large red OAK, which stood close to the
main walk. leading up to the college. Their
presence was unsupported, however, until
the hungry calls of the young and the ac-
tivity of the parent birds in carrying sup
plies caused careful search to be made
for the nest. From the time of discovery
until they left the nest many of the brood
as could crowd into the open door of their
apartment might be seen at any time of
the day. At first three could be seen. but
later as they grew the restricted opening

The nesting of song and insectivorous
birds about Washington should be encour-
aged and their enemies discouraged. As
yet the habit of furnishing the birds with
al tificial nesting sites appears to have been
formed by few of our people. This condi-
ton deprives the city of the cheerful pres
ence of thousands of little birds whose mu-
steal notes and great activity in destroying
ncxiouS inse ct life would repay all outlay
an hundred fold.
Fight the Enemy.
The greatest enemy of all the smaller
forms of bird life is the English sparrow.
whose habits of spoliation are too well
known to require explanation. Opportunity
for this ruthless brigand to ply his profess
sion should be reduced to the minimum by
keeping his numbers within reasonable linn
its. Bird boxes securely placed, having
docrways without porch or platform and
large enough to admit wreLs and chicka-
dees, but not large enough for the English
sparrow, would be appreciated by these
small forms. Martin boxes upon high
poles placed in open lots are certain to be
occupied by these most cheerful and yalu-
able birds. A house martin city at the
zoo large enough to accommodate three
would not by any means, be the least at
tractive of the exhibits at this most praise
worthy and popular resort. 1t is probable
also that If especial effort were made to
encourage nesting habits of other native
birds in the Geological Park the final re-
suit would be surprising to most visitors
and gratifying TO all.

Woodpecker Families.
OF the red-headed woodpeckers, at least
three pairs nested in security and raised one
or more broods of young. The cheerful
notes of these handsome birds, their great
activity in the pursuit of insects, their volu-
bility and their continuous presence within
the field of vision made them the most at
tractive of the summer resident birds. One
pair which had been occupying hole in
hc.u-Lecayed stub of an old oak concluded
to move to a higher and more secure To-
cation. They attacked the main trunk of
the tree.~ which, however, seemed partly
dead, about ten feet above the old nest.
This summer moving was made known to
the occupants of numerous hammocks swung
below, first by the noise of bird carpenter
ing and then by the tremendous quantity of
chips which fell in intermittent showers
from lie seat of activity above.
The operations of these expert tree car
penterS were full of interest. In some de-
gree the birds seemed to take turns at
hammering and chiseling out, but 1t APP
peared that one, undoubtedly the male, con-
fined his efforts to the briefer periods, when
the other needed food or drink. In abo-

and then backing out with a beak full of
chips. The side walls were extended to
permit turning about in the hole, after
which the burrow grew rapidly. The noise
Of operations within would continue some
minutes, after which several visits were
made to the outer air and beak-loads of
chips recklessly showered upon all below.
Robins and Thrushes.
Two pairs of robins reared broods, one
in small spruce tree and the other In the
lower branches of a large and densely-
leaved oak. One pair of brown thrushes
began the construction of a nek in a num-
Der of places. but their final location was
not discovered. One pair OF catbirds reared
a brood in a nest located near the top of
a hard maple and a family party of noisy,
white-bellied nut-hatches, which frequent
ed the grounds, indicated a nesting site
near by.
A pair of chipping sparrows. full of con-
