WHY BIRDS GO SOUTH.

Il once asked a confirmed old bach

The New Idea WOman's magazine for
November. why he did not marry,
to which he replied, i have gotten
over wanting to- Is there a tide in

lod in the autumn which draws them

them stranded with us for the winter?
long, pleasant autumn, do they reas-
on like the old man who said that it
would not pay him to get false teeth
now that his time was too short?
1T is usually thought that ;he de-
tcrmining factor in the birds going
or staying is not that of cold, but of
food: and for this there is doubtless
considerable evidence. Yet, for the
evidence to be conclusive, it would
need to be shown that the food is
lacking when they go forth and leave
us, as we'll as present when they stay
throughout the year.
''In the autumn of 1904, in the
groves which skirt the rivers in South
Dakota, wild grapes were unusually
abundant. The autumn was so long
and dry that they cured upon the
vines, and were sweet, somewhat
juicy, and palatable during the entire
winter. In these goves l found COM
panies of Wilson's bluebirds in early
January, when the mercury stood be-
tween eight and ten degrees below
zero. The flickers also were numer-
Gus. thaugh it is not uncommon for
4 few of them to winter in the north"
In opposition to this fact, Mr..
1homs notes that although every Win
ter a goodly supply of berries, seeds,
buuS, etC., Iellldlu OH the DlSneS,
yet the robins, who eat these, con-
stantly migrate Mr.. Thoms comes to
the conclusion, therefore, that there
is migrating instinct which has
its season, just as there is mating in
stinct which has its season: and if,
owing TO pleasant conditions. that
season passes without the birds be-
ing moved to go south. they do not
go attall.'

A SUCCESSFUL FAILURE,

The remark recently made by
Thomas c. Platt concerning his owl,
life was a lifting of the curtain, for
an instant. to show the real feelings
ed.
Platt said, you will remember: my
life could have been made so much
better Or at least different from what
it has been"
$50 much better-or different"
The phrasing is characteristic-a
confession and then an adroit hedg
ing of his words, lest he might have
said too much.
But the real feeling of the man
is plain. He knows his life has not
been what it ought to have been
It might have been better-or much
better. Seventy-two years Old and
sorry for his life!
Why, the man has gotten abont
everything a man wants to get in this
life.
Health? He is seventy-two and
still able to successfully head a great
corporation.
Fame? He is a senator Of the Unit
ed States and maker Of presidents.
Power? For years he has been the
supreme boss of the Republican poll
tics Of New York state.
Are not these the things men strive
for in order to succeed?
But has it been worth while?-
sorth while TO himseli ana to N.
world? With the clear after vision
of old age Platt can see that his life
has simply been successful failure.
Because
"a mans life consisteth not in the
! abundance of the things that he
hath" Successful living, in the true
sense, is not in having, but in being;
not .2 getting. but in giving. It lies
not in what a man has. but in what
ne is and what he does.
Platt sees what might have been.
He might have had, instead of mil
liens of dollars, wealth of mind
and soul; instead of fame as boss
'har OF = neneta c,or: instead OF l"we,
in politics. the power to do good to
his fellows; instea-! of the fawning
of lieutenants, the ,ssteem of friends;
instead of hollow service. love.
Yes. his life could have been made
SO mnci hetter"- " ne haf cared
for the real things instead Of the inn
itations.
And for the sake of the young men
of this country it is we'll that this

AND JAPAN JOIN HANDS.

I The defensive agreement cohclud-
ed between England and Japan on
August II, the text o. which was
made public yesterday, is likely to
have much to do with shaping future
history Of Europe and Asia.
That the treaty is mutually advan-
tageous can be seen at glance. Eng
land, with navy more than twice as
largo as those Of any other two pow.
ers, and Japan whose military
strength W. revealed in her speedy
defeat of Russia, form combination
that any nations or group Of nations
will hesitate in attacking. Japan
undoubtedly would have gladly
signed such treaty long ago, but
IT was the part OF wisdom for Eng
land to wait until Japan had settled
her dispute with Russia. That con-
troversy was very evidently none of
England's affair, thou yh Il ere is no
doubt that England was gratified
by Japan's success. England really
performed service for Japan ia the
1902 agreement to keep other nations
from interfering with the fight. aud
this was as far as she could consist
emily go.
In the new alliance, japan obtains
assurance that she will be allowed
to keep what she has gained, without
disturbance. England will obtain a
twc-fold benefit, for with the new
agreement i. is evident that Russia. |

cific coast has been cbeckm ated while

invasion by Russia or any other ma.

demonstration on the frontier. 1t is

give up her energetic attempts to

English diplomacy has probably
succeeded in heading off any plans

In fact the Anglo.Japanese agree
ment is an event of great Importance
for it makes it extremely unlikely
that the present status in the far east
will be disturbed during the life of
the agreement. This is an imp ortant
contribution TO the cause of uuiver-
sal peace, for it relates to portion of
