THE GOLOFINCH.
Changes In PIumage That Are Puz-

Changes In Plumage That Are Puz-
zIing to the Novice.
Most every one in America is ac-
quainted with the goldfnch. but many
people know the bird by the name of
lettuce bird on account of it's bright
yellow color. Goldfnch is a very APP
propriate name, as the bright yellow
of the male when in breeding plumage
is like FURNISHED gold. The female
gOldfinch is more modestly dressed
than her mate. The changes in plum
age of the male are very interesting
and to the novice somewhat puzzling
Until the student becomes acquainted
with the bird he may wonder why he
sees no males during the winter. The
truth is at this season the fiOcks of
supposed female goldinches are really
of both sexes. the male bird having as
sumed in the previous fall, usually by
the end of October, plumage closely
resembling that of the female and
young bird of the year. The male re-
tains this inconspicuous dress until
late in February, when one can no
tice a gradual change taking place in
some of the birds. This renewal of
feathers is actively continued through
March and April, and by the first of
May our resplendent bird is with us
again. The song period with the male
goldfinch continues as long as he wears
his gold and black livery. for it com
mences as early as the middle of March
and ends late in August. Goldfnches
are very cleanly in their habits and
battle frequently. Their nests are eX-
| quisite pieces of bird architecture. the
inside being lined with the softest
plant down. The mother bird is the

CULTIVATlNG THE CHILD.
Flow Any Trait May BE Fixed In a
Normal Human Being.

There is not a single desirable attri-
butte which, lacking in a plant, may not
be bred into it. Choose what improve
hent you wish in a flower, fruit or a
tree, and by crossing, selection, culti-
vation and persistence you can fix this
desirable trait irrevOcably. Pick out
any trait you want in your child, grant
ed that he is a normal child, be it hon
esty, fairness, purity, lovableness, in
dustry, thrift, what not. By surround
ing this child with sunshine from the
sky and your own heart, by giving the
closest communion with nature, by
feeding him we'll balanced, nutritious
food, by giving him all that is implied
in healthful envirOnmental influences
and by doing all in love you can thus
cultivate in this child and fix there for
all his life all of these traits-natu-
rally not always to the full in all cases
at the beginning of the work, for he
redity will make itself felt first, and, as
in the plant under improvement, there
will be certain strong tendencies to re-
version to former ancestral traits, but

can give him all these traits by pa
tiently, persistently guiding him in
these early formative years.
And on the other side, give him foul
air to breathe keep him in a dusty fac
tory or an unwholesOme schoOlrOOm or
a crowded tenement up under the hot
roof; keep him away from the sun
shine, take away from him music and
laughter and happy faces, cram his lit
tie brains with so called knowledge,
all the more deceptive and dangerous
because made so apparently adaptable
to his young mind; let him have asso-
ciates in his hours out of school, and at
the age of ten you have fixed in him
the opposite traits. He is on his way
to the gallows. You have perhaps seen
a prairie fire sweep through the tall
grass across a plain. Nothing can
stand before it; it must burn itself out.
That is what happens when you let the
weeds grow up in a childs life and
then set fire to them by wrong environ
ment.-Luther Burbank in Century.

FOREST SERVICE.
Planting on Rough Lands and Over
Coal Deposits.


A variety of causes are awakening
mn interest in forest planting ON lands
owned primarily for some other pur-
pose than the use of timber, but capa-
BILE of yielding an added revenue from
crops of trees. In Pennsylvania espe-
cially large forest plantations are actu-
ally under way. There are enormous
areas in Pennsylvania from which the
original timber has been cut and which
are too rough for profitable farming.
In the coal regions much of the land
everything the coal is useless for farm
ing at any time. Both these classes of
land may be planted to trees with ad-
vantage and the timber used in the
mines, the old fields on which farming
has been attempted being particularly
desirable for planting.
Water sheds owned to prevent fur
ther denudatiOp and the contamination
of streams and reservoirs rarely yield
direct returns to water companies, but
if properly planted their water conserv-
ing power would be increased, and at
the same time future revenue would
be in prospect.
The possibilities of forest planting
have been realized by several large
companies which have applied to the
| forest service for assistance
Detailed information and application
blanks for assistance of this kind car
be secured by writing to the forester

ture, Washington.

An instance of great presence of
mind was narrated by John Russell
Young. says a writer in the Grand
Magazine. Once during the civil war.
when Grant was in subordinate com
mand. he was recoanOitering alone near
the enemy's lines. Suddenly he found
himself confronted by one of the Con
federates' pickets, who was for arrest
ing him. "ShO! Sho! said Grant, with
the utmost coolness Cant yod see
am accommodating in the enemy's uni
form? Don't make a noise. | shall be
back directly" And he walked away
quietly until out of the picket's sight.

prompts them to run up the plank, and
the platform seems to be an attractive

Mind How You Laugh.
Isn't it a curious thing that laugh
ing may spoil your features? If YOU
laugh with the sides of your face the
skin will work loose in time and wrin-
kles will form in exact accordance with
the kind of laugh you have. A person
who is accustomed to suppressing his
feelings generally has a deep line run
ming from each side of his nose to the
upper corner of his mouth, which in
time extends 20 the chin, forming the
shape of ndlf moon. The scholars

schemer's wrinkles come around hja

smirk will have a series of semicirctl

In this age Of experiment the report
ed performance of n Michigan farmer
is worth trying. He was working his
sheep in connection with an effort tc
kill Canada thistles. He put some sail

possible. Ia this way the sheep were
induced to eat the thistles close to the
