Robin Redbreast Called a Much Over

The hortieulturist put down his
paper and snorted in disgust when
he read an article praising robins.
"'The robin is a much overrated
bird" he said. People rail against
the English sparrow, but he doesn't
begin to torment the gardener as
the robin does. DID you ever hear
of a robin eating insects? No, in
deed; not one little bug does he eat.
But he'll pull. up all the worms in
the soil and impeverlsh 1t, for an
glewofms are the natural enrichers
ofsthe soil. His appetite is enor-
nous, and.it won't take him long to

of black alder trees in my grounds,
anticipating that by Christmas they
would be blazing with red berries.
You know the black alder is called
the northern holly, and its berries
are a vivid scarlet. Well, just as
soon as the berries began to form a
swarm of robins swooped down and
,gobbled them all up. How did. they
happen to be up north? Why, rob
ms would stay north all winter if
they could find enough berries to
eat. They don't mind the cold
weather any. It's simply matter
| f food that drives them to a warm

the only sort they won't eat. They
are robbers too. They'll steal the
nests of such little birds as the

The Tss.eoonI.ys emq,.

One of the most peculiar things
in the whole history of signs is the
fact that while all other shopkeep-
.ers we're patronizing the embryo
painters the tobacconist always call
ed upon the woodcaryer on the con-
finent as well as in England. As
long ago as Elizabeth's reign the
wooden image of the black boy was
the fayorite sign of the tobacco
dealers. Later the customary sign
was the highlander or a figure of
Sir Walter Raleigh. In Holland,
for some strange reason, the tobac-
conist adopted the dairymaid as
their sign, with the motto, "Conso-
lation for sucklings." The Indian,
naturally enough, has always been
the predominant sign in this eoun-
try, although oree in awhile a re-
version to type crops out with the
ancient black boy.
