warm enough to give the necessary
protection is the thing to get, and soft
white cashmere answers admirably.
The coats are usually made slightly
frilled on to yoke. with long skirt,
bishop sleeves and cape, prettily
embroidered in white and scalloped on
the edge. Sometime the coat, or just
the cape. is lined with white. pink or
blue china silk.
The Importance OF having the chill
drens shoes carefully and wisely fit-
ted cannot be overestimated. The
idea that any shoe will do so long as
II is about the right size is far too
prevalent. Children's feet often need
individual attention, and many of the
foot Ills so common among grown-ups
might have been avoided had the feet
been properly looked after in the early
stages of childhood The leather in
children's shoes should be soft and
pliable, for at night many are the
aching. tired little feet that have troi.
ted about all day in shoes of harsh,

credit for the good they do, but few
men neglect to condemn them most

Marble and Granite Quarrying.
The principal methods of marble ex-
| traction that modern experience and
practise have evolved are those of saw
ing and channeling. The former sys-
tenn is used largely in France, Italy
and Belgium, and almost exclusively
on the Marmor properties in Greece.
The saw itself is an endless steel rope
of three strands, loosely twisted to-
gether. This cutter is passed round a
driving-wheel and carried on guiding
pulleys from a power house at a high
speed. The wire saw enables stone
not only to be cut from the rock bed,
but sawn on the spot into blocks OF
handy size for export.

to'iing scientists have revealed, what
many state agricultural departments
tell us, what the United States gov
eminent publications declare, and
what we can all see with our eyes If
we stop to observe, one great in
calculable value of our birds lies in
the tremendous number of harmful
insects which they destroy and the
vast quantities of harmful weed seeds
which they consume. 1t is no small
service that a pair of robins render
when they honor you by living a
summer in your garden, and each day
probably eat more than their weight
of worms and insects. 1t is no little
thing to have a pair of pewees nest
in a tree near your house, and every
day for weeks and weeks rid the air
of hundreds of harmful insects that
seek to destroy the foliage or to sting
the fruit Of young trees. l once

any observant man over forty years
of age will readily testify.
The early inhabitants Of New Eng
land felt that they had a grievance
against the blackbirds for eating corn
in the fields, SO laws were passed Of
fering "a bounty of threepence dozen
for dead maize thieves" DR.. Benja-
min Franklin is quoted by Peter Kahn,
"A Swedish naturalist, as saying that
the blackbirds were thus exterminat-
ed. but as in the summer of 1749 an
immense quantity of worms appeared
In the meadows, which devoured the
grass and did great damage, the peo-
pie abated their enmity, for they had
observed that those birds lived chiefly
on these worms before the maize Is
ripe, and consequently extirpated
them"
OF recent years the study of the re-
lationship of birds to agriculture has
revealed many facts which are having
a decided influence in changing public
sentiment regarding many birds which
were formerly regarded as largely if
not wholly detrimental. The most
marked example is probably in refer
ence to the real value of some species
of hawks and owls on the farm. Many
people have recognized but little dis
