and AZ children became members OF the

the attractive pin, and signed the pledge
to protect bird life.
Rev. DR.. Edward T. Fairbanks very
interestingly described the manner in
which tor the past 25 years members Of
his family have attracted the birds and
fed them in the winter time. He gave
very full suggestions to the children
about feeding the chickadees, nut-hatches,
and woodpeckers, and keeping away I'M
desirable birds like the English sparrow
and the pigeon. He suggested hanging
baskets on limbs OF trees in which food
can be placed, as the English sparrows
dislike anything that will shake, but the
chickadees do not object to such methods
OF feeding.
Superintendent G. H. Dempsey de-
scribsd the various ways of building
bird houses, and illustrated his talk
with black board sketches. He told how
to build for the blue birds and wrens,
and how to exclude the English sparrow
from the tenements. Many of the pupils,
especially the boys, showed their inten-
ton to put to practical use the sug
gestions, by asking numerous questions.

Marie.

When deaths angel meets a man and
carries him from our sight by one strong
embrace the busy world stops Tor
brief moment and bushes itself in solemn
thought. So it was when on Friday af.
ternoon, October 81, Louis Marie, re.
turning rom his days labor, faltered,
fell, and ife's ,urney was ended
For 80 years Mr.. Marie had been
known in our community as an honor
able, Industrious Christian gentleman;
one who met Lowell's fine conception of
manhood, as consisting OF work done
squarely and unwasted days"
The customary notes of life in his case
are these: Born in Matthew, France, in
1841; married Mrs. Emma Manuel in
1868; came to America in 1869; came to
st. Johnsbury in 1870. entered the
scale shops in 1879. thus rounding out a
service o. 33 years in one of the depart
ments of that factory, requiring exact
and very careful work.
Mr.. Marie was a mechanic of varied
gifts. He could turn deit hand to al.
most anything and be has lett behind
many evidences of his skilled labor. He
had great love of flowers and found
pleasure and recreation in making things
grow and blossom. He was very fond
OF his home and since the death of
his accomplished wife has mainland a
home with his daughter. This daughter
and her brother are left alone and far
from kindred. Miss Marie now resides
in Boston at Is Marlborough street.
The funeral was largely attended, the
services being held at the house of DR.. c.
F.. o. Tinker on Sunday afternoon. Con-
spicuous among the floral offerings was
a beautiful wreath from his shopmates.
Rev. Dr.. S. G. Barnes officiated, there
being vacancy in the pastorate of the
North Church, of which Mr.. Marie had
been member since 1875. Two of the
dear old hymns were sung by a quar-.
tet from his own church. Rev. A. F.
.Walch gave in&a very appropriate and
pleasing manner his testimony to a gen.
timely good life. closing with a poem of
sweet tenderness. Then, as the sun
neared its setting, the body of Louis
Marie was laid to rest in Mount Pleas.
