Possibly neither the law nor the
efforts Of the Audubon societies can
reach the man in San Antonio who
ordered 600 humming birds for ban.
Quet. since he ordered his supply
from Mexico, but none the less he
deserves public disapproval for set
ting a bad example. AYERS the Bos.
ton Transcript Doubtless he does
this for dramatic effect or mere os.
tentation, for ahumming bird is a poor
apology for human food. The bodies of
some of them when stripped of their
feathers are not larger than a humble
bee. They are like fiecks of sunshine
among the flowers, their rapid and al.
most ceaseless motion and their fire.
Quently brilliant plumage making
them delightful little visitors. We have
eighteen species in the United States
but only one east OF the Mississippi
and north OF Florida. No matter how
plentiful they may be, they are bene,
ct to vegetation. They live on honey
and on insects that menace the flowers
that constitute their dainty haunts
and the sources OF their food supply
Like the bee. they also render a SER
vice in. the cross fertilization Of fiow
ers. Their beauty, innocence and good
ofices should be ample protection
against milliners and gourmets.

Mr. A. Cary Smith thinks So and in
a letter to the New York Herald
he calls attention to Dakota farm

either individual or nation often has
a tendency to put in the background
the unconventional idea or the doc.
trine that is opposed to the present
order Of things. When that prosper
ity Is self-contained and Independent,

The Igorrotes buy their dogs in the

for three or four days Then they
feed them as much rice as the fam

from lecture delivered at the Con-
gregational church last evening by DIR.
Alvin j. Cox of the University of
Montana before largely
meeting of the Ncighboorhood club.
DIR. Cox's subject was Life and EN-
perience in the Philippines" He

The speaker described effectively the
trcachcry and bIoodthirstiness of the
Moros. saying that they were of Mo-

sidcred the killing of Christian as
an act of the highest virtue.
DIR. Cox told Interestingly of trips
he has made to various islands of the
Philippine group and of the customs
of the several tribes. 1t was i'm this
portion of his address that he de-
scribed the inmost secrets of the Ig-
orrote cuisine.
DR.. Cox also said that the educa-
tional system of the United States
government in the islands is undergo
ing Il change, that teaching from
books is giving place to teaching by
tools. Manual training is now being
taught more generally than reading
and writing. as the latter sort of edu-
