CATS AND BIRDS.

Not long ago we quoted from Bird
Lore. an attractive little magazine for
bird lovers; part of an article relating
to the destruction of birds by homo
cats.
The disappearance of bird life from
the landscape is due, in measure. to
The movement Of the population toward
the cities. The suburbs of large cities
are proving veritable death traps to
birds. Lumbermen are destroying thcit
natural homes, the forests. This drives
them to the suburbs, and the cats are
driving them out OF existence. And
unless people who believe in birds can
do something more than protest, we
shall presently be obliged to do with-
out birds and to put up, as best we
cam with cats instead.
This is well illustrated by the writ
ten testimony of one observunt lady,
who relates that in one city suburb,
nine years ago. where there were few
houses and many trees, the native birds
wre numerous. OF pair of wrens

protection against cats, she says:
The little pair moved to their new
home, turning out two broods OF five
birds each that summer Next year |

the new BROOD members might return
to their birth place. Sure enough. a
pair of new Corners took possession of
the last box The original pair again
nested in their home OF the preceding
year Twenty little wrens were the
outcome of my soap-boX carpentry.
To provide for my largo family. l made
eight moro box nests and gave them
to different children in the neighbour

restriction they kept no cats. / had the
pleasure of knowing. every box was
taken. This spot became one long
grand free concert. More than that
bugs and worms were In such demand
to feed all those empty little gizZards,
we human beings had far less work to
do in our gardens. as we had no pest
lighting to do. Now comes the sad
part of my story. People began to
move into the place. people whose love
for cats was stronger than for birds.
One by one our lovely pets disappeared,
and today there are no grand concerts.
and there are lots of bugs and worms"
1t Is the same Story everywhere. Tho
cats are discriminating the birds. One
man suggests that the people should
exercise a little judgment ana humans

Fear Of the Dreadnaught Spurs
Many Nations To Ship Building
Iv.-THE BRITISH CRISIS.

7 ONDON. Eng. July 9.-Never was
4 baptismal name more inappropri-
ate than that given to the Brit
ish battleship "Dreadnought' when
it was launched in 1906. It's boastful
name, representing its revolutionary
character, has sufficed to upset the
naval policies Of every maritime nation.
It's building has made the British navy
fear for its traditional supremacy, I'M
questioned and unquestionable for a
hundred years. 1t made all existing
battleships obsolete or obsOIescent. 1t
forced the jealous nations to build new
and cOStlier naVieS. 1t levied new and
heavier taxes upon the tOilers OF every
considerable nation in the world. Since
that ship was launched the word
DreadnOught" has possessed the minds
and souls of all the naval experts, all
the diplomatists, and all the gossps Of
international political life.
At the beginning of this year there
were II battleships of the Dreadnought
and super Dreadnought class in com
mission. Seven of them are British.
two are German, two belong to the
United States and one to Japan. At the
end of this year the total will be al
most doubled. reaching 81. OF these
there will be 10 British. five German,
four American and two japanese.
wan! Sn1pS L nder CONSTRUCTION.
If ships now building are completed
on schedule time. the end of 1911 will
see no less than 40 OF these huge fight
ing machines af1oat; IA under the Brit
ish flag, nine under command of the
German Emperor, six under the Stars
and Stripes, six under the Rising Sun
Of Japan. four under the .tri-color of
the French republic, and one bearing
the green banner of Brazil. The next
year, 1912. less than three years hence,
the number of Dreadnoughts and all
big gun super-DreadnOught will have
been increased to 81, provided all ships
now building and ordered for that time
are completed. No estimate is made of
possible future orders
It requires q little more than two
years, at best. to complete one of these
ships. The present plans extend only
to the end of 1912. and it is impossi-
BILE TO predict what will happen after.
AT that time the CT Dreadnoughts will
be divided; 20 British. IS German,
eight American, seven Japanese, eight
French, four Russian, two Austrian,

Thus the fear of the Dreadnought
chills two great political worlds-that
international circle in which war is
always imminent, and that domestic
political circle in which the question Of
taxation is always uppermost. Eng
land will vote heavier taxes to keep up
the race, for it is a matter of life and

British Minister Of Foreign Affairs, ex-
planning the position of the British
government:
THE great countries of Europe are
raising enormous revenues. and some
thing like one half OF them is being
spent on naval and military prepara-
tions. You may call ii national in
surance, that is perfectly true; but II
is equally true that one half of the
national revenue of the great countries
OF Europe is being spent on what are
after all, preparations to kill each
other. Surely the extent to which this
expenditure has grown really becomes
a satire and a reflection upon c1vtli-
cation. Not in our generation, per-
haps; but If it goes on at the rate at
which it has recently increased, sooner

Maria tried hard 10 understand what

Pierre cared for another woman, and
1t seemed as If all joy had suddenly
gone out of her life. for now she was
to lose the only being in the world she
had ever cared for. She ran out into the
woods and cried bitterly.
One day, about & week later when
Pierre and Maria were sitting alone in
the house. he looked straight into her
eyes until she cast them down. Then
he stood up, took her sweet little face
between mis- hands, though she tried TO

were running down her cheeks.

That night as Pierre was sitting in

of angry voices. and a moment later a
customs soldier entered and reported:

he commanded:

TR AIGHT TALKS
WITH BOYS AND MEN
The Value Of Appearance
BY DR.. MADISON C. PETERS.

Lord Chesterfield said: The art OF
pleasing is the art of rising, of distin-
gushing ones self, of making a figure
and a fortune in the world" No policy
pays like pOliteness. Fine manners have
often given scoundrels the entree of
good society. The best positions are
not always filled by the most capable
men, but very often by men of average
ability, who know how to return smiles
for insults, maintaining a gentlemanly
bearing when annoyances are crowding.
History is full Of examples of men
who have owed their advancement to a
pleasing personality. Witness Shaks-
pere's graceful appearance before Eliza
beth. Marimeau. ugly of feature, al
most repulsive physically yet with his
politeness, won all the women of Paris.
George Washington saluted his body
servant as courteously as he did the
highest officer upon his staff. History
does honor to the grand old name of
gentleman"
There are people who are never po-
lite except upon compulsion. These are
the people you find in the same places
10 years from now that they are in to-
day. Rudeness is a boomerang which
returns and strikes yourself. Sarcastic
remarks, ungenerous criticisms, I'M
gracious manners-these are the things
that create prejudice against a man,
close hearts and bar doors against him.
