The Passenger Pigeon.

Destructive forces have gone all too
far in eNterminating interesting aud
valuable American birds. We are
now turning toward conservation.
and strong movements arc afoot in
different States to bring back our
splendid game birds, especially. 10
their native ranges. In this glad pro-
cession we may still hope that the
passenger pigeon will take the lead.
Then. as its wanton destruction is the
saddest. its restoration will be the
gIaddest story in the entire record of
American Natural History. In past
years passenger pigeons wero common
in many parts of the country. flying
in vast f1ocks. Veritable clouds OF
beautiful colors.
Prof. c. F. Hodge. of Clark Uni
versity, Worcester, Mass, is taking
great interest in the matter. and the
moment a colony, or even single pair
of nesting passenger pigeons is found,
the Passenger Pigeon Restoration
Club of America" will be formed.

Too True, Alas.

Judging the American hustler from

greatest hustlcrs Of England, when

American hustler shows lack of
adaptation Of means TO ends. because
he puts more mental, physical. and
nervous energy into his work at all
times than ii demands. Regarded as
"A machine. he is not an economical

DO Keep Young.

Why do some women grow old
and others keep the secret of per-
petual youth? Here is one answer:
One reason why the average woman
wears out and grows plain before her
husband, is that through a mistaken
idea of duty she lays out for herself
at the beginning of her married life
a scheme or plan of duty and en-
ploymcnt for her time, every hour
filed with work. with rare and short
periods Of relaxation. This she fol-
lows relisiously for years, feeling that
she has done her duty. because every
household event occurs regularly and
on time. while she soon becomes
merely a machine. Il thing without
life of itself or volitior. She settles
into a Tut, and goes round and round
ON the same track cvcrlastingly.
1t is true that n beautifully kept
home is to he desired, but a bcauti-
man likes to sec his wife grow pre-
maturely old, and pardon me if l say
enphaticaIly that the wife who de-
Iiberately permits her face TO become
scanned and old, her hair dead and
lifcless, her figure fat and. unwieldy.
is also deliberately digging the grave
of her husbands love.
Keep the soul, the spirit Young
alive to all that goes on. Care for
the body from top to toe as carefully
as you do for your silver and china.

ture Dress fashionably and taste
