BIRDS OF ARGENTINA.
Maay of Beautiful Plumase and Some That Are Wonderful
 Singers.


 Among Argentina's greatest treas ures are her birds, which abound there in great number and variety. One pe- culiarity of the birds is their gaudy plumage, brightest scarlet, orange, olive, yellow, pink and green-painted perhaps by the southern sun, says the Montreal Family Herald.
 In color they are beautiful and in songs wonderful. Let us go to the woods bordering the river and see how many we can find Wonder bird is called the "arm of fire" on account of his bright color He appears to take great pride in showing himself. There is the cardinal with the scarlet crest, white breast and dove colored back, also the yellow cardinal with yellow body and black crest It is so named because it's crest resembles the car dinal's hat. That beautiful pink line that you see in the distant sky is flock of pink famingoes. They are nearing us. Now they alight on the sand on the margin of the river How pretty they arei Listen to that exquis- ite song. That is the "Bugero, large black bird with white beak. From the grassy marsh comes the discordant cry of the heron, and the green parrots are chattering in the trees over our heads. They think their scolding will fright en us away. See that lovely golden wren creeping up the tree, hunting spiders. He does not seem a particle afraid of us. Hear that sweet voiced robin. They are much finer singers than the robins of our country. Here we find dove's carelessly made nest, with two white eggs lying on the ground. This dove is very small, not much larger than canary That mod est little gray bird is the bulbul or nightingale, which keeps his sweet song for the night.
 There is a tree that appears to be covered with balls of cotton, but in stead of cotton it is flock of magpies summing themselves They drop their wings and fluff out the feathers of the back until they resemble balls of cotton They are singular birds One will catch frog and run around be- fore the others, apparently to tantalize them. When they bathe they jump into pool of water, then out again and roll in the dust, then into the water again. They impose on each other by several hens laying in the same nest. The eggs are very pretty, green and white mingled. Hear the mournful call of the rainbird, kind of coczoo which calls almost necessarily the day before a storm while there is no apparent evidence of it's approach, yet they are unfailing. Here comes a scissors tail, another peculiar bird, one of the fly catchers. An! the beautiful birdsi We hear their glad songs as they fit from tree to tree seemingly without a sor- row, but they have their sorrows, too, for they will go to seek food for their young birds and come back to find them devoured by the snakes or some other marauder. But perhaps their greatest enemy is women, for whose adornment hundreds of thousands are destroyed annually, especially of the white heron, an elegant bird whose fe- male has two dainty hair-like feathers or aigrettes, which are used for hat trimming

MU IClPAl IMPROVEMENTS AND THE
CITY CHARTER.

The present condition of State
street, from Smith street to the lie.
high Valley bridges, is not only q
disgrace upon a city which claims the
standing of Perth Amboy. but it is an
outrage and an insult TO public de-
cenoy. How the people can quietly
consent to such a condition of affairs
without O vigorous protest, is hard
to understand. Smith street, from
s sata street west is little better.
These two streets are the main
thoroughfares 1of Perth Amboy and
for them to be allowed to remain as
they are is carrying the city back into
the ages that have passed, it is retard
ing nrogress and it a burning shame
on the community.
The blame for this outrageous con-
dition of our principal streets can not
be placed directly upon the Board of
Aldermen. 1t will he remembered
that q petition was sent in to the al
dermen asking for asphalt on State
street and the street committee re-
ported fayorably upon it. The bids
for the work we're about to be adver-
tised when q remonstrance against
this improvement was handed in and,
upon investigation, 1t was found that
q majority of the property n
along the street to be improved were
against the work. The Board of AL
dsrr en- were there upon compelled 10
discontinue their work toward paving
the street and, as O re ult the thor
oughfare, today, is a disgrace to the
city ami an insult to every citizen who
takes pride in the appearance of Perth
Amboy. This prevents the aldermen
from being directly responsible, but
they cannot escape entirely for there
is still q remedy. within their reach.
This is not the first time the Even.
ing News has pointed out the faults
of the anticipated city charter which
hangs as o milestone on tho city. The
reason the aldermen had to stop
further work toward improving State
street was because the city charter,
adopted in 1870, when Perth Amboy
was q small town, declares that q
majority of property owners along
any street, by demonstrating, can
hold up any improvement on that
tho~roughfare. Such a provision might
have been all right for Perth Amboy
thirty years ago, but it is not so now
The condition of State street is not
only d matter of interest to the prop.

vital interest to every property owner
in the city, whether owning land
