Looking for Birds.

What is the best place to look for
birds? Why, every kind of place has
its charms for different kinds of birds.
Along the little streams or lakes you
can find dainty sand pipers, green
hreons and phOebes. A kin2hsher's
rafting cry may catch your ear; you
may eve see him plunge headlonG into
the water and come out with Il gleam-
ing sinner in his big bill. In the
marshes are the beautiful clear piping
redwings and the chuckling marsh
wrens, and you may start a Cl2
brown bittern. Along the rOadways
the vesper sparrows may fly ahead
of you, showing their white tail feath-
crs as they go.
The great things to learn about birds
after you have come TO know Il num-
Der of kinds, are: First, that every
kind does things in its own way; sec
ond, that they group themselves nat
urally into families as much by SINH
lar habits as by what men
call character" Thus, fy~catchers
dart out and catch insects on the wing,
with a snap of the bill, returning to
their perch to await another victim.
Sparrows like to be near or on the
ground. Woodpeckers like to climb
about in the trees, bracing on Their
stiff tails, head up. 1t has been as
certained that in the main birds like
to follow valleys when they can, even
going back for short distances to enter
a valley that will lead them in Their
true direction. Many birds do not mi
crate at all. like the crows, chlkadees
and many hawks, and woodpeckers;
while others, like the red poll llnnetS,
snowfakes, crossbills and butcher
birds. come to us only with very cold
winters.-St. Nicholas.

erves as the best possible insurance
against the exploits OF safe-blowers,
sneak thieves and fOrgers. An anus
ing instance Of the influence of this
reputation is found in Il case reported
rOm Wisconsin. Sneak thieves enter
ed a banking house in an interior city
and succeeded in getting away with
| negotiable bonds valued at $4,000. AT
the time the robbery was committed
the thieves did not notice b sign of
the American Bankers Association
which was hanging in an incOnspicu-
Gus position. When the affair became
| public, the fact that the bank which
had been robbed belonged to the asso-
citation was also stated. Next day the
bank in question received by express
from Milwaukee a package contain
ing the stolen bonds intact, with il
