perience. There is just one thing to be horne in mind in the encouragement of this work by children, and that is that very young and delicate ckildr=n should not be allowed part iE that blanth of the work which requires their presence in the woods and fields during very severe weather. They can help, too, but in other ways. They can feed the birds near their own homes, and they can collect food, and money to buy food, to be distributed by. their older and stronger companions. While it has been my experience that the little fellows have just as much grit and enthusiasm as their elders. they arc much more liable to take cold an1 to tumble out of trees.
 At my new home in New Hampshire, the birds have been fed this winter as usual, and find that they are not less tame than those of Massachusetts or Connecticut. In fact, the blue jays are the tamest I have ever seen. While they have not as yet actually alighted on our hands. I believe that, with little patience, they could be induced to do so. As it is, they come to the win dow-sills and take little notice of our presence, even when the windows are open. The tree sparrows are not nearly as numerous as they were about our home in Massachusetts last winter, but they come as regularly, and are quite as tame. To feeding station on the ground in the garden come large fiocks of snow buntings, redpolls and goldfinches, and now and then we have a downy wood-pecker or a white breasted nuthatch. But, as usual, the ehickadees are the tamest of all our guests-tamer, in fact, than we have ever known them before. We cannot appear at a window without half a dozen of these little titnice aiighting on the sill one or two at a time, and they will either hover just in front of our faces or, standing or tiptoe, ham mer on the glass with their bills. If we open the window, they will come in and fly all about, alighting on desks, chair backs and tables as though they owned the place. When we go out upon the piazza, they come to our hands and faces without waiting to be asked; in fact, if they were anything less dear | than chickadees they might fairly be accused. of impudence.
 One visitor we have had who was not so welcome; a hungry northern shrike. Of course he came for the chickadees, and he got at least one of them. He chased it through the lilac bushes, from top to bottom and from bottom to top again, until the desper- ate chickadee in an unlucky moment 1 flew out into the open country. The shrike followed like a fury, the two | turning and twisting and doubling, un' til, at last, coming close to the ground the butcher bird nailed his victim. Perhaps a minute later, the shrike arose carrying the chickadee, how. ] could not see from where stood. He alighted with his prey upon a strand oi barbed-wire fence. but, taking wing again a moment later, he flew close past me, carrying his victim in his claws. The fact which impressed me most, was the great ease with which he carried it. He flew in almost a straight line and the flight was not la bored in the least. ..-s...ss.. , ERNEST HAROLD BAYNEs.

a different inf1ection) the Chinese. His comrades followed his example, and since then it has become custom for every visitor to the hall to buy a rice ladle, and, writing his name and the date of his visit upon it, with, of course, "Dal Nippon Banzai!" tack it up somewhere in the vast building.

which their employers were to pay for now find themselves out of work. Free imports and municipal waste are thus, in the opinion of the capitalist class, the causes of the decadence of British industry and the destitution of the workingman. The British trade union ists, however, have a different theory. They hold that labor is not sufficiently Organized-that employers are insuth- ciently squeezed and Parliament is in- sufficiently controlled. Another reason they offer for the want of work is the introduction of labor-saving machinery. This may be done to enable the embar- rassed manufacturer to compete with foreign manufacturers, but the local workman regards it from the local point of view. Certain results follow.
 When what is saved thus in the cost of production by new machinery is all turned over to the workman in higher wages or shorter hours the employer must needs go out of business, since no business can be conducted without a profit. Combinations may be formed to cut down expenses, but the tendency remains. 'So the whole thing" accord ing to the London Times, moves in a vicious circle, with the general result that staple industries are slowly dying out among us, while our population is more and more relying on unskilled en- ployments.'

 was during the China-Japan War that troops first began to be quartered on the island, and several regiments, for want of better barracks, were encamp- ed in this old historical structure.

THE HARD 1IMES IN ENGLAND

There is much trouble in England now.., Times are hard. Great multi tudes are without work, and demand is made that both the government and municipal authorities shall come to their relief by starting public improve ments. As to the cause of the great number of unemployed opinions differ. Mir. Chamberlain says the want of em- ployment is a, result of free trade, or free imports" High tariffs abroad, with no tariff at home, deprive the na- tive Briton of work. The remedy is to clap a duty on foreign goods, so that more will be made at home and so that foreign countries may be forced by re- taliation to lower their duties on Brit ish exports. A correspondent of the London Times finds the cause of dimin- ished employment largely in the recent "municipalization of industry" which, being effected at great expense, puts up IAAes "ilo aiscoufaseS Lne investment of new capital. Old industries are be- ing thus destroyed and new ones dis couraged. Recent laws gave control of local affairs to new and less compe- tent class, with the result that cities are providing themselves with many costly luxuries, regardless of the effect on private industries.
 The manufacturers, finding them selves taxed out of existence, invest their money abroad to better advantage and live on the income derived from foreign investments, while their en- ployes who voted for the luxuries

A man went into the general reading room of the Congressional Library at Washington the other day to get some specific data for 8 paper he was writ ing, according to the Troy Times.

He had never been in the reading room before, and he did not know the limitations of some of it's attendants. He selected a desk and sat down.

French horticulture has acclimatized 8 new tropical tuber for Europe. It is one of the sweet potatoes of western Africa, of which a complete mastery has been obtained in the experimental gardens at Bordeaux. Excellent &C., counts are given of the agricultural value of the new tuber, which, besides cropping well, can be profitably used in all it's parts. Even the leaves are said to be no bad substitute for spinach. As for the tubers, besides their high nutri- tive qualities as food highly relished by cattle, they contain seventeen per cent. of sugar, which is higher than that of beetroot, and also alcohol.
