Certainly very few governors In this

Spare the Birds.

The Herald recently published the
report OF the National Association of
Audubon societies In which II was
stated that less than 1000 bird lovers
have successfully opposed the com.
bined interests OF the commercial bird
killers In a majority OF the 40 state
legislatures just adjourned or about
20 adjourn" This Is a remarkable
record and one which should appeal
TO the gratitude oiall bird lovers.
When one considers that II Is estim.
ated that no less than 100000, 0O6 OF
damage Is done 10 the crops annually
by insect pests, against which the
birds OF the air are practically the
only protection, the wonder grows
how any one can swell the ranks OF
bird exterminators. And yet II Is
sadly true that men can be found who
boast OF their prowess In bringing
down such game as robins and other
singing birds.
II Is encouraging 10 know that In
Texas a vicious bill for the repeal OF
legislation protecting the Wild fowl
has been defeated and a game com
mission established. In Connecticut
the pot hunters have been restrain
ed. In West Virginia. South Dakota
and Oregon the "model law" recon-
mended by the Audubon societies has
been placed on the statute book. A
game commission has been secured In
Alabama. hitherto one OF the laxesi
OF the states In bird protection.
II Ia high time that public senti
ment should be aroused against the
market hunters OF birds. Public opin
ion should protest earnestly and loud

POTATOES IN FRANCE.
Parmentier's willy Plan to Kill the
Prejudice Against Them.

Parmentier's willy Plan to Kill the
Prejudice Against Them.
The way in which Parmentier ere
ated demand for potatoes in France
would have done credit to the wiliest
Of willy tradesmen Nothing would at
first induce the simple minded peas
ants to cultivate the popular tuber.
They would not listen to lectures on
its virtues nor accept seed potatoes
free Of cost for planting.
Parmentier therefore decided to get
the better of their prejudice by artifce
and with this object leased as much
land as he could round Paris and plant
ed it with potatoes. Just before the
ripening Of the crop he posted watch
ers round the fields and issued notices
that all persons stealing potatoes
would be severely punished, the crop
being intended for the tables Of the
king and mobiles.
Such delicacies, continued the notice,
were too good for ignorant peasants,
who would touch them at their peril.
OF course watch was only kept during
the day, and at night the fields were
robbed right and left by the peasants,
who were curious to taste the strange
vegetable and jealous that it should be
reserved for their betters.
AS soon as they had tasted the sue
culent tubers the pilferers were only
too anxious to plant as many as they
could possibly purchase, the willy Par
mentier's scheme thus succeeding be-
yond the most exravagant anticipa-
tions.

Defined by Customs Men as a Bird, q
Package and Dog.
On the travels Of a monkey from
Genoa to Heidelberg an amusing farce
might be written. a German gentle.
man brought from southwest Africa a
tiny monkey weighing barely couple
Of pounds. From Tanga to Genoa all
went well with the lilliputian animal.
It was a favorite with every one and
travelled free until Genoa was reached,
when its troubles began.
Brought under the notice Of the Geno-
csc custom house authorities, 1t was
promptly deprived Of its identity. It
was no longer an animal; 1t became a
bird, and as a bird, on which % cents
was charged, it was conveyed to the
Swiss frontier, where at a stroke Of the
custom house officers wand it was
transformed into cat at the increased
assessment Of S156 and borne by train
to Zurich.
On its arrival there It ceased as q
cat to exist and became a mere pack
age, an item Of luggage that was con-
veyed to Constance for the nominal
sum Of 16 cents.
Still as luggage, though metamor-
phosed from a package into a hand
bag, it went on its way to Stuttgart
where a great honor awaited it It
was on payment Of S2.04 exalted into
a dog, and it was as a dog that it end
ed its journey at the university town

THE OCEAN LINER.
Safety Devices That Are Operated
From the Bridge.

Lo@&@ tAS SAA06~s
It is in its safety devices and the
provision made to meet every possible
accident that the ocean liner is perhaps
most remarkable. All the machinery
which may be set in motion in case Of
danger is centered on the bridge, and
so perfectly has it been arranged that
the entire vessel could be controlled
II the necessity should arise by means
of series Of levers and push buttons.
About the walls Of the wheelhouse are
arranged curious looking indicators,
much the same as one sees behind the
desk Of q great hotel. About them are
hung surprising variety Of barome-
ters, thermometers, thermostats, wind
and rain gauges and other less familiar
looking instruments. There are rows
upon rows Of buttons and levers on
every hand, all highly polished and in
the most perfect working order. The
danger Of fire at sea, for instance, is
anticipated by a thermostat connected
with the frame filled with little squares
like the hotel Indicator. There are
thermometers every part Of the ship
electrically connected with this box
which are constantly on guard. If a
fire should start in any part Of the
great ship tss temperature would Of
course rise, and the fact would instant
" be announced in the wheelhouse by
the ringing Of a bell, while red light
would fash at the same time in one Of
the squares Of the Indicator The man
at the wheel could tell at glance the
exact point Of danger.-Francis Arnold

MUSKRAT BUILDERS.
The House In the Meadow and How
It Is Constructed.

The House In the Meadow and How
It Is Constructed.
I have always been told that musk
rat houses mean a severe winter. In
stead Of a sign Of cold weather, the
musNat house means simply that one
or more muskrats have chosen to live
in the low meadow or at the shallow
head Of the pond, where there is no
chance to burrow underground and
have a bedroom that cannot be flooded
by the high tides Of winter.
These same muskrats, along the steep
banks Of river, would tunnel into the
earth and there dig bedroom out Of
reach Of the highest flood. They do not
always succeed, however, as they are
often washed out Of their winter beds
by spring freshets.
The house in the meadow is usually
built over a tall, stout tussock, whose
grassy top forms the bed. This Is dom
ed over, making a large room big
enough for one or for half dozen, ac-
cording to the number Of muskrats
sharing the work at '"1st two open
ings or dives lead from the bed into
open water at the foot Of the tussock.
And this water never freezes. When
ice forms outside, the warmth Of the
muskrats' bodies is sufficient to keep
the doors free, through which the
dwe!lers shoot at instant alarm, for
these passages lead into winding bur
rows and waterways that run far out
through the rich, rooty meadow.-Coun-
