serving Trees.
The robins and other familiar
birds are struggling heroically to get
their young on the wing, where they
can be independent of the predatory
cat and small boy, and also the TOM
boy. This is the season when it
seems peculiarly fit that the school
authorities should instruct teachers
in all grades to admonfsh their pu-
pills as to their duty toward the birds
and their nestlings at this time. 1t
is quite apparent that the parents of
the children are for the most part
neglecting this most necessary bit of
instruction; at least, it has so i'm
pressed one who has by heroic eff
forts preserved for a week nest of
five robins from spoilation at the
hands of various children. How much
longer the nestlings have to live is a
problem from which an actuary
would probably shrink.
At the recent meeting of the Gov
errors in Washington for the purpose
of conserving the land, water and
forest resources of the nation, the
work of the birds in protecting crops
was freely acknowledged; but it was
also shown that they have an impor-
tant part in forest preservation. The
government recently received a re-
port from one of it's departments to
the effect that insects cause an annu-
al loss to trees of more than $780,
100000. On the oak alone 400 spe-
cies of insects, which are sought and
consumed by the birds of the forest,
prey continually, the experts of the
Biological Survey have discovered.
On the willow 49, such species at
tempt its destruction; on the pine,
165; one the hickory, 40; one the
birch, los, and on the elm, 80. Care
full analysis of the stomachs of wood
peckers, titmice, creepers, kinglets,
wood warblers, wrens, fly catchers,
swallows, nut-hatches and other birds
shows that their constant labor is to
consume those devastating insects.
The National Society of Audubon
Societies has declined to offer its CO.
operation in aid of the movement be-
gun at Washington, and reminds the
Governors that if they would urge
and work for the enactment Of uni
form laws for the protection of birds,
they would find no better means for
forwarding their great work. And
to our way of thinking, the work
could be immensely aided by the
adoption of a bird day. in the pub
lie schools, to be celebrated early in
May Of each year. The exercises
should be Of such nature as to in
sure an impression upon the mind
of the predatory small boy. Their
effect might also reach the mind of
the thoughtless or Indifferent adult
who keeps useless cat as a "pet."

PARENTAL CAUTION.

It used to be the custom, when gallant
went to WOO,
To seek the maiden's father for serious
interview,
And to give, truthful answer when he
heard the old man say
"Can you support my daughter in COM
Portable way?"
But now the times are changing and we all
must look ahead
To pierce the distant future when the
young folks want to wed,
And we needn't be surprised to hear the
maiden's father say:
"I'd like to know what alimony you're pre-.
pared to pay.

need not enter upon any course OF

Whatever free silver was, or was not,
as an economic issue, it is no longer
here to divide us. Those who con-
tended for it, led by Mr.. Bryan right
or wrong as to the fiscal opposition
thought they were fighting for the
masses against the classes, for the
people against prerogative, and
against the same old money devil we
had all fought under the leadership
of Mr.. Tilden. That question out of
the way, what is there now to divide
US? Nothing upon the face of the
contention except the personality of
Mr.. Bryan. ''IIaving been twice

In our opinion, it is because there
