starIinas Eaa-steaIers.


A correspondent, writing from
Leith, England, expresses a strong
opinion tina tstarlings rob small birds
nests.
Some years ago there was large
tree opposite my dwelling house.
There was a hole in the trunk of the
tree about ten feet from the ground,
and sparrows built their nests in the
cavity. have time and again seen
starlings driving away the parent
birds, enter the nests, taking hold
of the eggs with their bills and fly
ing away with them.
A grayedigger in Banffshire once
told me that yellowhammer had
built its nest in the churchyard, and
it contained four eggs One day a
starting attacked the hen bird as she
sat on her eggs. The yellowhammer
defended her nest and made a great
noise, which attracted his attention,
but before he got up to the nest the
yellowhammer had been killed by
the starting, and the latter was on the
nest and breaking and eating the
eggs. Forty years ago starlings were
rare birds in many parts of Scotland,
but now they are to be seen in thou
sands everywhere, and there can be
no doubt they have some destructive
habits,

II was a real hardship for Judge
Brown to have to keep silent for any
length of time. Even when travelling
he usually found some one who would
at least listen while he talked. But
on one occasion he found himself in
a railway coach with only one other
occupant stiff, dignifed old lady.
who did not deign even to look at
him when he, raised his hat upon en-
tering the coach.
The Judge grew restless after they
had Travelled several miles. He
drummed on the windows, coughed
several times, then finally, in despera-
tion, cleared his throat, and asked
in stentorian tone:
Madam, did It ever occur to Won
to wonder whether it had ever rained
any before the time of the fiocd?s
The unusual question startled the
old lady out Of her dignihed silence
and the two old people were soon en-
gagged in animated conversation. -
