ARTIFICIAL LIGHT FOR BIRDS.
Iensthens Their Day, Giving Them
More Time for FEEDING.

Winter has always proved a trying
ume Tor rare and delicate birds In the
geological gardens. One interesting
theory has been advanced, that owing
10 the long nights in these ATTITUDES
IN winter the poor birds do not feed
ionS enough during the day to keep
oody and soul together" In the old
insect house some good was effected
by inducing the birds to feed before
dawn with the aid of powerful motor
lamp which was placed there an hour
in the winter.
In the new small birdhouse, says the
London Daily Mail, all elaborate in
candescent gaslight installation has
Just been completed. 1t is controlled
from outside and at six o'clock in the
morning Waterman switches on the
lights.
Immediately a chorus of SONGS
breaks out from the aroused birds
which start breakfast immediately.
This extra feeding time has already
produced good results in the shape of
improved condition of the birds of par
adise, mynahs and other rare tropical
birds in the house.

Who Supports the Wife3

Rev. Anna Howard Shaw and Mrs.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman had a de-
bate the other day in New York, the
question being, do husbands support
their wives?" Rev. Anna Shaw said
that they do not, but that in this
semi-civilized country in 38 of the
states the title to the children rests,
not in the mother, but in the father.
Women can not legally possess their
own children nor own their clothes.
The more work woman does the less
her husband gives her. Mrs Gilman
said that if stenographer earning
$25 week married an invalid and he
stayed home and did the work while
she made the money, people would
say she supported him, and logically
the wife doing the same thing was
supported. The audience, however,
voted in favor of the proposition of
DR.. Shaw.
