to this end, but without result so far
If l am not mistaken, our books are
boxed up and stored in the second story
of Castle & Cookies building.
AS has been suggested in a former
report, it is much to be desired that
the Society should form the nucleus of
a reference library. containing such
works as Heitman's, Register of the
Officers of the Continental Army, Mas
sachusetts Soldiers and Sailors in the
Revolutionary War the Record of Con
necticut Men in the War of the Revo-

etc, besides those volumes of the Ar
chives of the original thirteen States,
which relate to that period.
1t appears to me that an infusion of
new blood into the Society is very de-
be made to interest the many eligible
persons in this Territory who have not
yet joined it. I would suggest the plan
of issuing a circular for this object.

Their bills are very sharp and needlelike.s
They ca not only honey, but insects and
even spiders. The humming birds tongue
looks very much like mouse's tall. It
is a little tube. and with 1t It SUCKS up
the honey. js si

Tho mocking bird would not be called
beautiful not even pretty. But when It
sings NO forget ali else save its beautiful
voice. ~ "
Tho bird Is about six inches Ions and
belongs to the thrush family. It is gray,
and the breast, though the Same color,
Is very much paier, with spots almost '1'ai
brown, St @ sa5
Tho eggs are a very pretty blue and
the number ranges from four to six.
while the mother bird Ia on the nest the
male Is very attentive, bringing her food,
staying near the nest and singing most
OF tho time.
The knocking bird Is TO me the king
OF singers. Its music, though perhaps not
purely original, Is beautiful. What a
lovely thing It Is to sit at your window
d night, az the moon rises slowly in the
sky and the stars begin to peep out Of the
heavens, and watch the bird as It sits
In "a tree, singing ns though It's soul was
In that song
Then It nys from branch to branch. and
It's music becomes brilliant and grand
then suddenly as though singing his love
10 his mate. the music is soft, gentle,
tender and lovely. ".
Thus through the livelone night the
song continues. Then. as the day begins
to dawn, the music slowly ceases as
though 1t has assembled sweetiy to heaven.

can so without water a arenlaka bly, long
time, and for this reason 1t can live In
tho desert where very little water Is to
be found. It's cries. when heard at a
distance, resemble the cry OF a lion.
The male ostrich usually associates to
himself from two to six females. The
hens lay their eggs together In one nest.
This nest Is, q round hole, scratched In
the ground. Each hen lays from twelve
TO sixteen eggs, and sometip1es no less
than sixty eggs are found In q nest at
one time After the young brood Is
hatched, the freshest Of the remaining
eggs are broken to provide food for the
young birds,
At night, the made ostrich sits on the
nest to protect It from the many wild
animals that prowl about. The female
sits on the nest Turing the day, except
during the hottest hours, when the heat
