PLENTY Of BIRDS
FOR THE HUNTERS

The first day OF the open season
proved a banner one for the sportsmen
judging from the number of birds
Killed. Dealers IN ammunition and
guns had been pred citing for the past
two weeks that the first of September
this year would mark the opening OF
one OF the most successful seasons In
this locality for quite q period Those
who had been getting up before day
light and collecting advance information
report that reedbirds. ortolan. and
blackbirds are more numerous this year
Than they had seen them for several
seasons. The sale of shells and hunt
irg jackets ind Gated that interest was
not tagging in the sport. and early yes
terday morning hundreds of men and
boys were on the Benning marshes. al
Analostan Island and other places.
The Washington times., 1905-09-02
Thousands Were Slaughtered.

II is estimated that between 15.0o9 and
29.0o0 birds were killed in the vicinity
of Washington yesterday. Blackbirds
seemed TO be the most numerous and
one man this morning said that he
alone had killed 200 OF the species. be-
sides a goodIy number of reedbirds
Boat renting proved a profitable har-
vest The heavy rains has made the
water In the marshes very deep. and IN
most places il was impossible 10 wade
through them in high boots Boats Of
any description Were at a premium. and
after the early hours of rhe morning
high prices were paid the sportsman
not waiting TO question or begrudge the
money asked. Considerable difficulty re-
suited from the birds falling ~ the
marshes where the growth was too
thick TO shove a boat through and the
water too deep TO wade. Even where
bird fell in full view of the hunter
IL was often impossible to get IT.

Historic Baby Bottles.

Bottles for babies date back to re-
mote antiquity. Most people are Of the
opinion that feeding bottles for babies
must be an invention OF modern times.
According to Professor Mosby. how
ever. this is not the case. This gentle
man. who was lecturing before an anti
Quarian society, stated that it was the
custom among the Greeks for the
nurses to carry Il sponge full Of honey
III Il small pot to stop children from
crying. The professor went on to say
that there are two Greek vases In the
British museum dating from 200 Il. G.
which closely resemble the feeding bot
ties used subsequently 10y the Romans.
In the old Roman cemetery of st. Sep
ulcher. Canterbury. Il feeding bottle
OF bright red polished ware was dug
up in 1861. aud Professor Mosby came
to the conclusion that this bottle must
have been buried with the little Ro.
man child to whose wants it had min.
istered during the child's lifetime.
