Looks, Jane, are not debatable. If
we cannot compliment one another
upon looks we remain silent; and looks
invoke more silence than almost any
other one thing in this world, simply
because it is not a safe subject to
fool with. All people do not know
how they look, and the Creator made
us blind to our exterior appearance
that our joy might not be marred by
such a superficial quality.

The waders, swimmers and rapacious
birds are not included in the list we
refer to, nor is mention made of rare
winter and summer residents. All of
the eastern herons are to be found at
times in East Woodstock mill and fac
tory ponds and quiet pools OF muddy
brooks, except the snowy and least
bittern, which are occasionally report
ed IN the lower part Of the county,
do not know a better place to observe
the herons than at Potters. pond in
the neighborhood where a pair Of great
blues have been feeding for two weeks.
For ten days two great blues have
been seen daily by the trainmen on the
west side of Tadpole near Jewett City
Night herons feed nearly all summer
at Potters', bitterns boom at dusk, and
green herons are seen there every day
in summer Two pairs Of green herons
bred in the pines this season at the
east side directly over a bed of pur-
pie cypripedium. I have eaten both
night and green heron squads on
Fishers Island, and can remember
when Mohegan Indians brought dress
ed squads to market while the sQuaws
had hulled wild strawberries for sale
in tiny cone-shaped baskets. A brood
of dusky duck, raised last spring on
the western reedy border, were seen
all summer by trout and pickerel fish,
ermen Irving Paine shot a pair from
this branch for his table. The wood
ducks which used to frequent this Sc
cluded water hole departed when the
hollow forest trees east of the pond
were cut off. Many the toothsome wood
ducks have eaten shot here, a.
Gates Pond, Poquetanuck, and at
Hallville pond, near Lincoln park. 1t
is not the fowler's gun that has made
wood duck rare; but sweeping the
county Of all standing timber where
alone they can breed will soon exter-
inmate this beautiful hole-builder.

The first wood drake ever shot was
in Damon Chambers pond, North
Woodstock, and the next one at Fos-
ter Childs pond, Village Corners;
but these ponds are dry and the woods
around them gone. My first teal was
from Sam Aliens pond. Sandy Hol-

1t is now claimed that the weed
less, well-stirred soil is what makes
farming the greatest success. Dry
farming is a modern day discovery and
it has been well demonstrated as wor-
thy attention. 1t applies to flower
growing too. The caked earth with
occasional rains and not a few weeds,
has ceased to be creditaIble farming.
1t Is the stirred soil that holds moisture
longest and gives most yigor to plants.
The best dahlias l have seen this year
were watered little and cultivated much.
What any plant wants is attention,
just food and water is not enough.
The SLOUGH never can make a good
farmer for nothing in the vegetable
world responds to neglect. Man was
designed as a master and il he hustles
plants hustle. He can put vigor into
them by devotion to their needs and
| well-being.

The shores of the islands of Long
Island Sound are now black with
swaIlows-they gather there for their
dash to summer land, and what is
queer, they go in the night. They are
day fliers except when migrating. The
reason for this is that they regard the
night less perilous than the day--a lar
ger per cent. reach their destination
under the stars than could do so under
the glare Of the sun. All the lighthouse
keepers can tell us of the fate of some
of the birds that fly in the night. At
dawn following fierce storms and high
winds in the migratory season the
birds are found laying dead at the
base OF the lighthouses, having flown
against the light and killed themselves
in the night Mariners tell us of birds
blown off to sea that light in the rig
gfng for rest and that gladly take wa
ter and food Many weary Of wing
and lost to land are probably drowned
in the sea, having FALLEN in their ex-
haustion. The winged creatures do not
find life one sweet sing.

Here, for example, is that great tract
of the personal life. Who knows him
self thoroughly? Who dares to COM
mand his soul as Whittier command
ed his when he wrote:
"Sit still, my soul, in the silent dark,
Let me question thee
Alone in the shadows drear and stark.
With God and me.
What, my soul, was thy errand here?
Was II mirth and ease
Or heaping up gold from year to year
Nay, none OF these"
There are depths Of feeling in every
mans nature which he has never
sounded There are secret places in
the soul wherein the springs of indi-
ual observation. Motives, ambitions.
warnings, hopes and purposes reside
there. Suppose Prof. Munsterberg of
Harvard should come along with his
psychrometric apparatus how would you
stand the delicate tests employed
What would you register in point Of
veracity, or purity, or humility, or
courage? 1t is well for a man to find
out these things concerning himself
VI
invited into the psychologists labora-
tory.
Another interesting field Of explora-
ton is the life Of our fellow men. We
know too little of the thoughts and in
terests of others not of our own set
or club, or church or neighborhood.
The way to find out is not by organ
izing Stunning parties" and going
ostentatiously into the districts where
the live with he idao ~ oattfrfQ
copy for muck raking" articles. The
right way is that OF systematic ap-
proach. Charles Kingsley, the Eng
fish novelist, once said that within halt
a dozen miles of the spot where the
average person resides can be found an
unsupported amount of the material
that makes up the tragedy and glory
of the human drama.
II people are tame and tedious in
your sight, or IL they are narrow and
self-centered, it may be because you
have never taken pains to get below
their surface appearance. Start out
this very fall on quest OF exploration
Resolve that you will find within reach
of your own dwelling, perhaps under
your own roof, something nobler and
better in human life than you have YET
discovered. The only prerequisite II
that you yourself should be at your
best, before you sally forth on this ex-
ploring tour.
Not by searching can we find out
God in the perfection of his being. But
the way to a true, even IL partial
knowledge of his is plain. Here again
Paul is an authority when he says
I'VE know in part" The fact that our
knowledge Is fragmentary does not in
validate what we do know. If there IS
one thing of which am surer as ]
grow older It is that anyone who is
humble, sincere and loving enough car
grow into the assurance that there is
God ruling this universe and that his
ways with all his human children are
wise and just and kind. This is the
greatest discovery that any man car
make.

The Quail Trap, Sept. %, 190y-My
attention has been called to list of
common birds which appeared at in
tervals in Putnam newspaper. Such
lists are often useful in compiling gen.
eral catalogues, government and state
reports. They are of value when ac-
curate data of spring and fall migra-
tiups are made, when new arrivals are
reI orted, and fresh economic habits
noted We wish the author had given
US more of his experiences in the field,
and said whether he shoots his types,
az we infer from the close measure
r emit given of the warblers. No doubt
his notebook could tell US what USE
fuI birds continue to diminish near his
hcu Sc. what kinds hold their own and
what species of service to the farmer
may show slight gains. Has the last
colony of martins at East Woodstock
been driven away by the sparrows?
How many communities of cliff swal-
lows still remain in or near the vii
lage With no visible enemy to dis
tUrb the many pairs. can this observer
explain why there are so many unoc-
crt led holes in the sand swallow bank
at the park? There are fewer English
sparrows at North than at East Wood
stock, so that one of the charms of
quail trap life Is immunity from this
pest. Like the Lilibridges, the Mains
and the Brands. all true bird lovers,
we give passer domesticus a scatter
gun welcome.

Rose stands there by the dozen to con-

stands with less merit than many new

tell one how to grow dahlias and grow
them right, because they know that
success is an incentive to their busi-
ness. 1t is doubtful if there is a bet

A wise poet wrote: It's beautiful
world to see or it's dismal in every
zone. The thing it must be in its
gloom or it's glee, depends on yourself
alone; and 1t has been given to a
few people TO realize the truth of this
Such a one was he who sang: Here's
a health to him who's happy, and a
fig to those who fret; it is not rain
ing rain to me. It's raining violets."
The imagination plays a strong part
in life for good or i'll; and since we are
the masters of our minds we should
be the painters of the pictures which
please it, as we be of the pictures that
haunt it. Lucky is the man who puts
fear in his boots and sits upon antici-
patton. The reason man has more
trouble than he ought to is because he
does not keep things in their proper
place. Disorder puts the world awry
in a great many different ways for diff
ferent people.

What is friend? Perhaps you know
but / do not feel sure. / heard a mis-
creant say of a justice oncea ooh, he's
my friend. I can hold him down, all
right This may have been true and
it may not have been. II the justice
was a friend to him he could not have
been a friend to the public. A friend
OF this sort would be a subservient
fool, and an enemy OF the public.
Friendship does not mean special in
fiuence or power over another right or
wrong; it should not imply subser-
vience of any kind whatever It. is
kindness which can neither be solicit
ed nor bought-honest good will
Blatant fools say: He's a friend OF
mine I can handle him." Such asser-
tions are no credit to either party con-
cerned. Such conditions do not make
friends but pals. The hold-up in any
direction is no evidence of friendship
ii is too nearly allied to crime. A
friend never asks or expects you to
share his dishonor or his shame.
