Another seasonable bill, full of bright,
lively features, will be in evidence at
Keith's next week.
The most important event will be the
farewell to the vaudeville stage of those
sterling entertainers, Will NJ. Cressy and
Blanche Dayne. For their final appear
ances in the house where they have won
so many triumphs, "The New Depot,
possibly the best and most characteristic
of all Mr.. Cressy's sketches, has been
selected
The original Pony Ballet, whose CAPT
tai dancing act has been the chief fea-
ture of several musical comedies since
they first came to this country, and who
recently finished a most successful en-
gagement with His Honor the Mayor"
will prove most attractive feature.
1t will be pleasure for the Keithites
to welcome Howard and North, for their
conversational skit, "Those Were Happy
Days." is easily the best thing in its
line.
Zeno, Jordan and Zeno have a very
novel aerial act with a comedy element
that is furnished by female acrobat.

The SNOW BUNTING.
A Feathered sonester of the Arcte's
|, Treeless Wastes

one of the most interesting of arctic
birds is the snow bunting or polar sing
ing bird. A native of Spitzbergen and
Nova Zembla. its short, agreeable notes
sound doubly sweet when. heard in
these treeless wastes. The birds build
their nests in the mountain clefts
or under large rocks. lining them with
feathers and down. In winter time
their plumage is warm and abundant
md especially fits them for the rigor
Of an arctic winter During the breed
ing season and summer they live en-
tirely on insects. particularly gnats.
while in winter they subsist on moss,
roots ard seeds. Seine winters less
rigorous than others they are in album
dance, but at times famine compels
them to seek a more favorable climate,
and they are then seldom found until
they invariably reappear toward spring.
These buntings are distinguished by
Il long claw on their hind toe, struc-
ture which really enables them to run
about with ease on the soft snow.
OF the other birds may mention
puffins. divers. looms. dovekies, gulls,
skuas, burgomasters. kittiwakes, terms,
swans, geese. hawks, eagles and every
variety of ducks known to inhabit the
northern shores of America and Eu

The Forestry Association Of Yer.
mont

The Forestry association of Vermont
is doing good work in calling atten-
ton to the Importance of care for the
forests we already have and the reforest-
alton of barren sections of the state. At
the recent annual meeting of the associa-
ton 1t was apparent that much has al
ready been done toward awakening an
interest throughout the State. Some i'm.
portant legislation has already been Sc
cured. In 1904, the Legislature passed an
act looking toward diminishing forest
tires, which has had marked effect,
and the last legislature enacted a law to
establish nursery for forest seedlings at
the Vermont agricultural experiment
station at Burlington, plants which in a
year or two more will be available to
parties desiring them. Not as a matter

of sentiment merely, but from the stand
point of material prosperity it is desirable
to put into operation the projects of the
association. To set out trees here and
there on Arbor day is good, it is an edu-
cation in the right direction, but some
thing more widespread and thorough is
needed. Every effort should be made
to stay the hand of the despoiler of the
forests of our hills. The ruthless slaugh-
ter of trees is as great a loss in way
as slaughter of men. The woods may
be made permanent source of income
when intelligently handled, but in too
many instances their future usefulness is
entirely sacrificed to'present financial adj
vantages. There are but few farms
where little foresight and care of young
trees would not materially enhance the
value of the estate, and a campaign of
education in this direction would result
in great good. Everywhere the destruc-
ton of the forests of the State is going
on, not only aDnihilating the trees, but
leaving the hills stripped of their natural
covering, unsightly to the eye, and pro-
ductive of sudden freshets, as well as al
lowing the streams to run dry in time Of
drought, in both instances resulting in
loss and depreciation of property. The
object of the Forestry association is in no
sense revolutionary; its aims are reason
able, its plans are workable. A hearty
cooperation in its purposes would re-
dound to the present and permanent inn
provement and profit of the state.

RAISING CHURCH FUNDS.
The kaffirs Mix In Lot Of Fun With
Their Generosity.


The gentle Kaffir when he does be-
come Christianized has his own ideas
of the best method of raising funds
for the support of the cause" From
the subiioined description of a native
meeting sent home by missionary it
would appear that native generosity,
although of a rough and tumble char
acter, is distinctly productive Of ways
and means:
Recently l attended a native tea
meeting, at which more than f12 was
raised by this very poor congregation.
Their way of doing II was Characters
tic and amusing. They paid 2 shillings
to sit down to tea. Then some one
would pay 3 shillings for such and
such man to be required to get up
again and leave the table. The man
thus assailed would pay 3s. Cd. for
leave to sit down again. There was a
special table at which six could sit,
paying an extra shilling each for the
privilege. They had just got seated
when a man paid shillings to clear
them out and they paid another shil-
lings to sit on. and so 1t went on. They
arrange all this themselves, and this Is
their way of giving to the cause. One
man had tin of sirup He said he
would pay 2 shillings to pour 1t over
another mans head who had got him
self up well in large collar, etc.; this
man paid 3 shillings to be let off. the
first man shillings again to do It, the
other shillings TO escape, the first 9
shillings to do it-and did 1t. and. OH

SHE HAD A REPUTATION.
But the Cuctoner Was Not Going to
Eat tho Lady.

A lady who intended 10 give dinner
resistance was to be duck shot by her
husband on the shores of eastern Mary
land, decided that none but the very
best jelly should be served as an ac-
compartment TO the dainty fare.
So she proceeded to gorgeous
where one pays quarter apiece for
tomatoes and dollar a stalk for as
paragus at certain seasons of the year.
The jelly the clerk offered her did not
appear to be just what she wanted, 30
she suggested another variety.
But, madam" said the clerk
haughtily, this is the very best jelly
you can buy. 1t is made by Mrs. Nc
Guggin of Brooklyn" And he pointed
to the label on the jar.
1--WE never heard of it." meekly sug-
gested the lady. Are you sure it's all
right? Do you guarantee it?"
Seeing that his customer was ex-
tremely mild of character and perhaps
to be easily ratified, the clerk smiled In
d patronizing way. "Guaranteer re-
peated he, more haughtily than ever.
Madam, we don't have to guarantee
Mrs. McGuggin's jelly. Her name Is
enough. This lady, madam, has repu-
tationr'
"Oh, l have do doubt of that. I'm
