New York, Feb. 16.-The first severe snowstorms of the winter, which have occurred during the past few weeks, have called atten- tion to the laws which are in force in this state for the preservation of the wild birds, and the Commission CTS of Birds are now directing spe- cial notice to the paragraph when is added to the abstracts of the game laws for distribution about the state, requesting the pubic 10 feed the birds. There are many per sons who do this, and in the way the birds respond to the treat there is ample cause for satisfaction. The food may be placed for the birds wherever they are seen feeding, and their haunts may easily be learned It is to be hoped that the birds will not be forgotten for with their fesu- lar supply of food cut off, all birds, plume. song and insectivorous alike are in danger of extermination by cold and hunger. small supply ol grain table scraps or the sweepinss from hay mows will do much to re- lieve their distress, while pieces of meat, or suet, hung on trees will be eaten by carnivorous birds. In the  feeding of birds it is great adyan- tage to begin before the severe weather sets in so that they may be- come accustomed to the places where food will be found and more readily return there when in need. Tn cities bread crumbs on the win dow sills will collect the birds.
 Rockefeller Fittings.
 MT. Rockefellers fittings, as told by the newspapers. have been an interesting tale. The papers have deed all parts of the habitable globe. Some of the telegrams had him fly ing from town to town, and none have been more entertained than Mr. Rockefeller himself, who has laughed and grown fat as he read of himself at the same time in places miles apart. He must have admired his own agility and ubiqui- tous qualities, and must have thought himself veritable sprite. and yet all the while he was going to and from his office and house daily just as in ordinary times when there were no prOceSS-serEefS around That is a very easy thing to do in New York, which is the best hiding place in the world if precautions are taken. Very few can recognize even such subject for photograph and caricature as Mir. Rockefeller as he passes along the street in carriage or auto, and if he chooses a slight disguise it is almost impossible for anyone to de- ttCt ulIll AS He ldS lle dpllllA to surround his movements with mys tery, and can have all the approach es to his grounds and offices under the strictest surveillance, it is the easiest way of playing hide-and-seek that he could adopt. Probably his mynad agents are the authors Of the hundreds of telegrams locating him at different places. Some were manufactured. undoubtedly, by the newspapers for sport but it is pos sible, and quite probable, that the Standard Oil company has created this great structure of fanciful ubi- Guity, under the shadow of which MT. Rockefeller has played his great joke on the American press. It is,

And yet what an example of the majesty of the law it affords-that a mighty man of wealth fears a sion as the solid, stable leaders of municipal securities, commanding the highest price from eager and numerous buyers, and her 'fours' do not bring as much as they did a few years back. The city is now paying a higher rate than it ever has been compelled to pay since consolidation and the rate will prob
