A Suggestion for Brides.

Dear Aunt Jennie:-The mothers
of young women who are preparing
their wedding outfits are unconsci-
ously assisting them to set the trap
that will denrive them of some of
the sweetness of life. By this I mean
that they encourage needless ex-
travagance, consequently the girl
buys too much, and oftentimes finer
articles than she will henceforth be
able to buy after the first are worn
to fragments. [ sometimes think
that it would be we'll and more con-
ducive to peace and harmony in our
homes we're the prospective bride to
begin life with the young man of her
choice without so extensive a ward
robe. Let her have what she will
really need and then depend on his
generosity to procure the extras. He
will then learn that she is dependent
and will gladly help her to get things.
but I have so often seer brides whose
super-abundant supply of clothing
lasted for years after marriage-in
fact, until the good man had time

who never needed anything. The
awakening was something shocking
and awful to both parties. She

that he did not mean even the half

by way of consoling, that he meant

needed a saddle, and after that a new

Aunt Jennie's Letter.

During years of experience I have
often noticed a sad lack of even
simple knowledge in a sick room.
For instance, a young mother was
caring for and a~nxiously watching
her baby night and day through it's
first serious illness, and a neighbor-
herself the mother of several chill
dren-came clustering in and walked
the little one from its first natural
sleep in many days. But this was
not all. She explained to the anxi-
u young mother why she knew
that the child would certainly die.
Then she insisted on holding the child
in her own arms and commented on
its paIor and the temperature of it's
head and hands; and finally handed
it back to the fearful mother with
the consoling CD remark that that
was the last time she ever exDected
to see it breathe, and she felt like
it would have been a sin if she had
not held it the last time she would
ever see it. Now, [ think it was a
sin for her to see it at all. She left
the young mother doubly anxious
about the child and so exceedingly
that every picture in her i'm
agination was over-drawn and many
times during the days and nights that
followed before its recovery she saw
her darling cold and white, ready
for the grave. Why she even had the
little clothes she meant it should
year laundried and ready for i'm
mediate use. Can you realize the
harm which that N call did?
Never go into a sick room in a
hurry, and don't talk loud or slam
things around. Be gentle and don't
comment on how the patient looks or
ask about the medicine they take, and
then talk of it's deleterious effect on
this person and that one whom you
have known. Be cheerful; be full of
hope; don't wear a long face. If you
feel badly yourself, why stay away
from those who seem sicker than
yourself. Don't be a Jobs comforter
find the bright side. Even if you
know that the patient must die, you
can with tact make his last days
more comfortable; for if he is a
Christian, he is,not loath to go home,
and may tell you as much. Then of
course you can discuss the beauties
of that country with him and the
rest awaiting him where sickness is
unknown. Don't sit with folded

these finer feelings it is better to
spare the birds from sordid consid-
erations. Bull-bats are shot for
sport in eight miles of where I live
just out of the corporate limits of
the town, and boys shoot birds on
the shade-trees of the very streets
with spring guns.
Taking an esthetic view of the
question, who would like to live
where there are no singing birds ?
Speaking for myself, I enjoy the
song of the hooking bird, the whis-
tie of the quail, the notes of the diff
ferent members of the thrush, lark,
and robin family.
The man who sees no beauty in
flowers, hears no music in the song
of birds, has a makeup not to be en-
We'd. While I do not know the names
of many feathered songsters, and
am woefully ignorant of botany, I
can certainly appreciate the beauty
and fragrance of a flower; as well
as the grace, beauty and music Of
many Of our birds. Some critic
might say he has no music in his
soul, and all birds do not sing, any
way. That is a fact, and many good
and useful people do not make music
either. Neither have all useful peo-
pie beauty and accomplishments.
The birds of the wood-pecker family
have not the captivating strains Of
the eolian harp, nor yet the cadence
of the last tuneful effort of the dying
swan. But if he destroys bugs and
worms that hurt fruit trees and
crops, let him live.

Another Defender of the Feathered
Tribe.
Tribe.

Dear Aunt Jennie:-I have been
very much interested in the several
articles that have appeared in your
department of The Progressive Far
mer urging the Importance of bird
protection, and I think it probable
that this subject can be most eff
fectively presented in the shape Of
an appeal to the young people who
read your columns.
Taking altruism out of the ques-
ton, it is very Objectionable from
any point of view to prosecute the
slaughter of the feathered and mus
ical ~innocents. [ can remember
when every boy who could throw a
stone straight, use a bow and arrow
with skill, or fire a gun with accu-
racy, waged a war of determination
on the king-bird, or bee-martin. The
reason given was, he ate bees. This
very fact proved him an insect-eater,
and a means of destroying pests det-
rimental to growing crops. The
b1ue-bird came under the ban like
wise because he fought the house
martin. Taking up for a pet had
some ~redeeming features, or at least
some extenuation, but the blue bird
is also a friend of the farmer, being
likewise an insect eater.
In my youthful days I considered
it a religious duty to shoot the Bob
white because, in the expressed opin-
ion of every neighborhood oracle,
they took up corn and ate wheat. He
is guilty on both counts of the in
dictment, but does a hundred fold
more good than harm in the amount
of bugs and worms he destroys. The
moaning dove, the emblem of limo
cence and the bird that returned to
the ark as the friend of man and as
the bearer of the symbol of peace,
came under condemnation, because
some wiseacre had seen it eat wheat,
Therefore, it must die the death.
All well-informed people know
that worms and insects have caused
a great deteriment to crops and
fruit trees, and one reason of this
is that the singing birds, with the
dove and quail have been nearly ex-
terminated. I can remember proving
my skill with a RE, when a mere boy.

Canada Finds Use for Dog Fish.
Instead of Offering bounty for the
destruction Of dogflsh, the Canadian
government has decided to establish
three reduction plants to convert the
fish into fertilizer and glue. They will
cost $4,000 each, and the government
will itself operate the plants. paying
the fishermen a good price for their
fish offal and for all the dogfsh they
can bring in. It is claimed that the
venture can be made to yield a salts
factory profit. It is calculated. that
the price paid for dogf1sh and the de-

rid of the nuisance will be incentives

SONG PICTURES COME HIGH,
The Public q Exacting and Artistic
Excellence Must Be Dis
played in Views.

1T requires paLle0Ce and money to
produce slides for popular songs nova
days." said a music publisher to New
York Sun man, ''but stereopticons and
moving picture machines are still the
best medium in booming songs. AL
most every theater devoted to vaude-
vile has one Of these machines as part
Of its properties. and with the aid Of
good singer and a clever manipulation
Of the machine q fair entertainment can
be given at nominal cost.
''But the public now expects some
artistic merit in these slides, and will
not accept them unless they reproduce
accurately scenes which the theme of
the song demands. Formerly such slides
were faxed without much trouble and
at small cost. The public did not mind
Il the song happened to be good. But
now conditions are reversed. The public
seems to be more exacting about the
slides than the song.
Most Of these slides were made In this
city, no matter what locality or scenes
the song described. But soon these
slides lost their attraction. Then pub
Usher revived interest in the entertain
ment by making the slides accurate in
detail and locality, but the return paid
handsomely for the outlay.
Recently firm spent $500 In pro-
ducing slides for one song. The scenes
were laid in the valley Of the Shenan-
ioah. To be as accurate as possible the
publisher had to send men to photograph
number of historic spots in that sec
ton. Then he had to hire q regiment
Of soldiers to pose for the pictures. This
meant several days work and when
everything was done and he was salts
fed he found that his expense bill was
large one without the cost Of manufac-
ture.
ION another occasion this same pub
fisher paid to have a minister and his
whole congregation pose for him for a
song called Just Behind the Times.
which was popular five years ago. He
could easily have faxed this by having
the scene painted, but he wanted to have
it all correct and was willing to pay for
it. It is said that the slides for this
song cost him nearly $4,000.
about ten years ago 9 publisher
hired a whole minstrel troupe and a hall
to get a set Of slides. But this is not
In 1t with the publisher who sent corps
Of photographers to San Juan hill for
negatives. He also engaged several off,
GERS TO pose for him. The publisher,
who writes his own songs. had a soldier
ballad which eventually made hit. Be-
fore he could put the slides on the mar
ket his bill was nearly $4,000. But as
the song had large sale he got the
money back with interest.
