OUR WINTER GUESTS
WHAT IS BEING DONE TO SUPPLY
THE NEEDS OF WILD BIRDS.
PLEASURE Of Feeding the Feathered
Visitors During the Days When
They Cannot obtain Their
Own Living.

If there is anything more sure than
that the true lover of the wild birds
win help to save them from death by
starvation by feeding them during the
winter. it is that those who, for any
reason, feed the wild birds at this sea
son. will become true lovers of them.
That birds are not naturally afraid OF
men is proved by the behavior of the
feathered Inhabitants Of regions sell
dom visited by men. The %penguins Of
the Antarctic will allow men to walk
up and knock them on the head with
clubs; they will learn better If they
are not exterminated before their edit
cation is complete. The birds of Lay
san allow visitors to walk among
them, and even to pick them up some
times; may their confidence never be
shaken. Our own birds, as the result
OF bitter experience, usually give US
q wide berth; but seemingly they are
not narrow-minded about IT, ana are
ready TO have faith in us again wneh-
ever circumstances warrant IL. "net-
ever birds are well treated ana carelui-
ly protected, their confidence IN man
returns. and the day has come, | thlhk'
when such confidence Is appreci"''H'
Thus, when Il man shows enough ~

his interest naturally increases, and ne

If I had 10 meet such q man on a lone
" road at night. | certainly SHOULD
not go unarmed. Fortunately such
men are few. The average man likes
to be trusted, whether it be by a fell
low man or by Il bird, and in many
cases, at least, confidence begets a de-
sire to be worthy of confidence.
At my new home in New lamp
shire, the birds have been fed this
winter as usual, and | find that they
are not less tame than those OF Mas

the blue jays are the tamest | have
ever seen. While they have not as yet

lieve that, with a little patience. they
could be induced TO do so. AS 1t Is,
they come to the window-sills and TAX
little notice of our presence, even
when the windows are open. The tree
sparrows are not nearly as numerous
as they were about III home in Mas
sachusetts last winter, but they come
as regularly, and are quite as tame. To

The Census Bureau has issued a hulle-
tin which reveals the fact that while
there are ,69s.32l more males than fe-
males in the United States the latter are
taking the so-called easy jobs in the
cities and forcing the former to seek a
living in the mines and woods and on
the farms. In 1861 cities in 1900 the
excess Of females over males was 2O4,-
$50. That males are increasing on the
farms Is shown by the fact that the ex-
cess OF the country was $40, $50 in 1895
against ,5l9, $50 in 1890. Another dis
couraging feature is the increasing pro
portion of the death rate among mer
and in the greater longevity OF women.
