TO the rafting hailstorln assault which
two robins nests under my observa-
lion withstood successfully there
would not have been shred of the
building material left to tell the tale.
The chances are the bird itself would
have fed for thicker shelter when the
6rst pelting bit of hail fell. 1t was
terrific storm, but strictly local, being
confined to about one square mile of
territory. One pair of robins had
placed nest at the very top of tree.
The hail tore the foliage and the wind
broke the branches about the little
home, but the mother robin sat on
aer precious eggs through the terror
IF it all. The edges Of the nest were
cut and torn, but the body of the
structure held and the brave bird
saved her eggs. Another robin with
home near at hand had exactly the
same experience.
There is vast difference in the
courage Of birds-the moral courage
Il one may SO call 1t. The domestic
Instinct in some Of them is developed
80 highly that they will brave all
and suffer all rather than abandon
their homes. Others apparently are
nnconcerned when their nests are
harried, and even though it be early
in the season they will give over all
thought of offspring and appear to be
rather glad than otherwise that they
are not to be burdened with the cares
Of family.
It is pleasant to be able to say that
the heartless ones among the song
sters are very much in the minority.
Man has spent time and study in the
effort to fix the reason for the migra-
ton Of the birds. BY far the most
poetical, if not the most satisfactory.

TESTING The FENCES.

The Illinois Central is to attack the
anti-pass law and carry the case to
the highest courts of the nation if the
statements of the attorney who filed
briefs in the case at Des Moines is to
be trusted. The point of attack is that
section which denies the right of the
corporation to issue passes to attorneys
in payment for services. 1t will be ar
guesd that provision that prevents
attorneys and surgeons from receiving
passes from the roads by which they
are employed is unconstitutional. -Ac-
cording to the attorney who did the
talking in Des Moines the roads are
anxious only to protect their right to
give their employees free transportation
over their roads
OF course the general public under
stands why the law is attacked quite as
well as the company whatever its at
torneys may say. The fight is on the
law forb!dding free passes and the eff
fort to break down the barrier it
erects. The railroads are getting over
their shock and getting busy. Theo-
dore is gone and hope springs eternal
in the corporation breast. 1t is likely
that the assault will be made all along
the line and the 2-cent fare be subject
to attack and attempted notification.
It is we'll enough. The roads have a
perfect legal right to bring the action.

The tree swallow (Tachycineta b.
color) originally dwelt in hollow trees
along the water course. The custom
Is followed largely to-day, but the bird
has found that among men there is
protection from it's natural enemies,
and so it is gradually forsaking old
ways and seeking civilization. This
swallow is a beautiful bird. 1t has
pure white underparts. while it's back
and shoulders. when the sun strikes
them, are shimmering green
An experimenting friend of mine
put box on the roof of his city resi-
dence. A pair of tree swallows came
and dwelt there. The mother bird de-
posted Eve pearly white eggs. The
experimenter took the eggs. The birds
we're loath to leave. In few days
there were five more eggs in the box.
While his heart smote him, the ex-
perimenter took these treasures also.
The birds still remained about the
box. Four more eggs were laid, and
were taken. The tree swallows would
not give up. The female laid three
more eggs, and the hand of the de-
spoiler was stayed. The birds raised
their young. and the next season they
returned and were not molested.

WINGED that an era of peanut politics
is now in progress. For the last three
months there has been veritable hub

charged to discredit first the supreme

yet none has come forward with any
thing specific enough to even excite
public interest. There ought to be large
public business enough TO transact
without wasting SO much time petit
logging.
The appointment of a salaried secre-
tary to the executive council IS consid-
cred so momentous an issue as TO JUS
tify top of column headlines. The same
is true of the appointment of a secre-
tary to the pharmacy commission. One
newspaper has seen the necessity of

The expression that some children

uncommon. Il is invariably applied 10
children born in poverty and never to
those born in wealthy or well-to-do
families. Those who use II view the

In an eastern magazine Frederick L.
Hoffman discusses ti1oughtfuly the de-
cline in the birth rate. It is a good ar
ticle for the woman who entered pro-
test against the laws Of God and nature
TO read. He presents certain suggestive
statistics, mainly from Rhode Island
and New Hampshire, which indicates a
continuous falling off in the size of
families of native born Americans, and
. corresponding increase in the size OF
the families of immigrants-which, If
long continued, must inevitably effect
change in the racial character Of the
population of the country The decline
in the birth rate has significant re-
latjon to the moral ideals Of the people,
and with this aspect of the subject Mr..
Hoffman deals in a serious and drastic
manner. Criticisins the contentious of
those who contend that in large fani-
lies of the poor are many who should

at the outset, with at least some pre-

shafted flicker, and 30 on to the end
OF the list. It is abundant every
where, and in recent years it has be-
come bird of the lawns, where it
eats thousands upon thousands Of de-
structive ants. An Investigator con-
nected with the biological survey
found 1900 ants in one flicker stom-
ach. The bird needs protection, for
everywhere 1t meets with the persecu-
ton Of the thoughtless.
The warbling vireos Is bird with
lesson to teach man. The husband
vireo shares all household duties with
his wife. He is on the nest cuddling
the eggs fully half Of the time, and, SO
far from entering complaint, he sings
5oyfully at his task. Find warbling
vireo's nest, and II master vireo is in
charge he will be found singing at
his sitting" He finds joy in drudgery
and Is not ashamed to let the world
know 1t.
The warbling vireo (vireo gilvus)
has olive gray upper parts, with wings
and tail of dusky brown. The under
parts are white shaded, with greenish
yellow at the sides. A white streak
runs through the eye. The birds
nest Is hung in the fork of tree, and
Is compactly made Of inner bark, veg
etable fiber and dead leaves. The
lining occasionally is made Of pine
needles. 1t is one of the prettiest
summer homes fashioned by bird
kind.
The cedar birds are busy in the
August season with their young.
Something of the character traits Of
these birds was given in a previous
article. a pair of cedar birds have
figured in an incident, which is Of
great interest to the world of bird
science" A nest was found in an or
chard. 1t contained three cedar bird
eggs Of gray with brown markings,
and in addition three large blue-green
eggs Of one Of the species of American
cuckoos.
Here was an instance Of the revert
ing to what unquestionably was the
habit of an ancestor. The English
cuckoo invariably lays It's eggs in 9TH
er birds nests. The American cuckoo
builds nest Of Its own, but the con-
struction of the nest is of such a
flimsy nature that 1t shows house
building with the American bird is a
comparatively recent requirement.
One cuckoo at least refrigerated and
imposed its eggs and the care of Its
young on the motherly cedar bird.

Alum according to Adele M. Field,
is a perfect preventive Of the ravages
of moths among woolens. While living
in China she gave this method Of pro-

articles should be soaked In saturat-

The fabric is not injured and the col
ors are not changed. The alum does
not evaporate and the articles thus
treated remain moth-proof for years

We confess to genuine delight at
the robust slap in the face that Iowa's
junior senator gave the American
Economist" gang; the Protective Tar
If League" as they style themselves.
1t is sort of "holier than thou" atti-
tude the gang assumes. They consign
to the rank of freetraders all who do
not accept their dictation. with all the
ignominy the assignment seems to car
ry. The fact is that gang is embodied
selfishness. They do not know, or if
they do know it they wilfully pervert
the original ideas of the fathers of
the doctrine of protection. 1t was sup
posed by these fathers that the time
would come when the infant indus

stead of doing so, the league keeps
piling duty on duty until point is
