200 ears IL failed to terminate. The fact that
these ears that failed to SprOut were among the
best looking in the Lofts cited as showing the
fallacy of depending entirely upon the appear
ance of the ear and the importance of making
a scientific test.

The Women and the Birds.-"Protector"
writes as follows to the Baltimore american:
1.-The devotion of certain exercises in the pub
lie schools of Maryland on Arbor Day to Bird
Day makes 1t timely to offer another protest
against the sacrifice of 200 600, 600 birds each
year to furnish women headgear. In spite OF
all appeals that have been made to them, wo-
men still insist upon their savage decorations,
which means that in the wake of the feather
hunters there are annually thousands of birds
destroyed by the most painful torture or left
to suffer for an indefinite time.
"There has certainly been enough written
and preached upon this subject to touch the
heart of any woman with spark of humanity
in her breast. If the world-at-laTge would
only realize what deep and important effect
upon the conduct of people, the natural bent of
their children, and even upon the policy of ma
tions disregard or the absence of conscience
and pity is sure to have affecting the very es-
sentials of manhood and womanhood, there
would surely be more determined effort to ed
ucate people to take the matter in hand. Pro-
fessor Sharpe has made the bold statement
that women who cause the murder of birds
must eventually suffer the pangs of conscience,
and Jeremy Bentham has declared that the
absence of reflection or a fund of humanity
will necessarily have its influence in display
ing the grosser passions of any people. If wO-
men are heartless toward the lower animals,
what may be expected of their children.
mo person who has any sense of the beauti-
full could assist in the destruction of so many
graceful, handsome birds which have done so
much to make the world happy place to in
habit, and carelessness in the matter can be
laid down to nothing else than sheer stupidity
arising from minds entirely dead to artistic in
fuences or to innate cruelty"
Hunt Club Will Make Many Improve
ments-The Green Spring Valley Hunt Club
is about to begin number of improvements
to its already attractive home. The plans,
which have been prepared by Mr.. Joseph t..
Sperry, consist principally of remodeling and
extending the present house, rearrangiDg all
of the apartments and a complete refurnishing
of the interior so as to make the club an ideal
resort for its members.
In making the changes the club has become
imbued with the general spirit of progress and
increase in membership which has made the
board of governors realize that their present
quarters are too small.
wants quarters in another section of the build
| ing and these will be made larger. The locker
room will be moved to the second floor, as
will the washrooms, etc.
On the first floor will be much larger din
| ing room than at present, grillroom, q smok-
| ing-room and sisting-room.
In order to accommodate the kennelman q
separate cottage will be erected for him.
Within the past few months the club has
| spent considerable money on the property and
| it is now in high state of repair. The stables
have been renovated, costly water-plant has
been installed and two additional tennis courts
are being laid.
The money for all of the improvements is
now provided and the work of construction
| will be started at once.
| The board of governors who have the work
| in hand is composed of Messrs. John Nc.
