New York Woman's Fad Is to Collect
Rare Birds, and She Has Gathered
70 200 Specimens from All the Quarters
Of the Standardization of Wild
Birds, TILL. .

NJ ALL the collectors Of rare birds,
~ there is none who is more en-
thusiastic in the work-and it is
a work, in the literal meaning of the
word-than Mrs. Howard Gould. Not
only has she made it a pastime to gather
from all the quarters of the globe re-
markable and beautiful specimens of
the feathery tribes, but she has also
made it a study and a science. In her
aviaries at Castlegould-un
ably the finest private aviaries in the
country, and in some respects excelling
the aviaries at the New York geological
gardens-she has gathered a surpris-
ing collection of birds. Wherever she
has learned that it was possible to OBJ
tain a rare specimen, no matter how far
distant or how expensive, she has sent
for it. In some. instances Howard
Gould's private yacht has made voy-
ages especially for the purpose of Sc
curing coveted Birds as was the case in
the covey Of Egyptian quail, which,
Ships and the handicaps which the
earnest collector FREQUENTLY encounters
were devoured in considerable num-
bers on the passage over by the epicu-
rean skipper who afterward confessed
he was fond of game. But it is not
often that the quests have been thus
unsuccessful, as the well-flled aviaries
attest. ~ r..
And in. all these endeavors Mrs.
Gould 8 personal supervision is made ap-
parent. She even buys the food that is
served daily to her charges. She knows
just what each bird ought to eat and
how much it, ought to eat. She knows
when a bird is not in condition, and oft.
times she knows the remedy that will
put it in condition, altho to make sure
that every inmate of this interesting
colony may be in the best of health a
bird doctor from the geological gardens
makes daily inspection from cage tc

visit OH a specially printed form fol

THE BOOK OF THE AUTOMOBILE; a
Practical Volume, Devoted to the
History. Construction. Use and Care
OF Motor Cars and to the Subject OF
Motoring in America. By X. T. Sloss.
Introduction by Dave II. Norris.
president of the Automobile Club of
America. New York: D. Appleton q
Co.
One of the most interesting parts of this
large and conscientiously prepared volume
is the introduction written by the man who
stands as sponsor for the automobilists OF
the United States, the president OF the larg-
est and most representative organization
of motorists in this country. Mr.. Morris
states the case of the motor car In effect
thus: II is the evolution OF human de-
mand for a means OF rapid individual
travel: IL has come to stay: II has a right
to exist and to go fast; public sentiment
must be moderated as the motor car justi-
fies Its existence; laws must be adjusted to
the new conditions: reckless chauffeurs
must be disciplined. This is platform upon
which the public at large is likely to agree.
especially that which relates TO the antics
of irresponsible, reckless motorists who
bring dtscredit upon all careful. conseien-
tious operators and owners. A broad mid
die ground of common sense is certain to
develop as the motor is better understood
by the public and better handled by owners
and mechanicians.
Mr.. Sloss' book Is an exhaustive treatise
upon the motor In all its particulars, a
complete guide to the intending purchaser
and 10 the operator. He Illustrates MS
points with diagrams and tables and throws
light upon the mysteries of construction,
the secret causes of breakdowns. the &c
centricities of sparkling devices and the
beauties of differentiais. To the convert to
motoring the volume Is an attractive and
valuable compendium OF useful informa-
ton. To the non-motorinS public It II .
