Emotions of Birds.

A psychologist or a naturalist will fire.
quently do things in the name of science
that he would not do as a man. Not
every psychologist who dissects a live
animal is hard hearted. Nor is the
naturalist who robs a nest necessarily
Indifferent to the grief of the old birds.
The one uses the knife that he may
illustrate physiology; the other steals
the eggs to get at the facts of orni-
thology.
DR.. Brewer, the ornithologist, once
had a painful experience while studying
the hermit thrush in the woods of
Nova Scotia. AS he had begun to sus-
pect that there were two varieties of
this bird, he came upon nest of the
rarest variety in the thick woods.
Finding the old birds gone, he hastily
took the nest, in which We're several
eggs, into the light Of an open space
not far off. He had just blown out the
contents of the eggs when the old
birds returned So touching was their
lamentation, the tone far more pathetic
than the birds ordinary cry, that, said
the doctor, 81 would have put the eggs
all back if | could.
The doctor once owned a hooking
bird whom he valued for his tender
familiarities. The bird lived chiefly out
of the cage. In fly season he would
perch on his masters finger and be
carried around the walls, darting at
every fly as he went and devouring it
with special gusto.

On Thursday night, August 3, at the
Grange hall will be shown by moving
pictures the story of the Maccabees.
We give below a short sketch of this
marvelously interesting story at that
most dramatic time in the lives of the
children of Israel when they were in
bondage in Egypt. Among the Judeans
was a family known as the Maccabees:
a mother and several children; the
Oldest of the latter was named Judas
and he was a man of wonderful per-
sonality. He was a leader among the
Jews and Immediately after their going
into bondage he addresses his fellows.
Astarte, the queen Of Egypt, drawn
by feminine curiosity departs incognito
from the palace to see those slaves Of
whom she had heard so much She is
greatly charmed by the words and
magnetism Of Judas-so much so in
fact that she commands her guards to
bring him before her at the palace,
which they do. There alone in the
magnificent quarters Of the queen,
Judas is offered his freedom from bond
age if he will but reciprocate the
affection which has suddenly come upon
the Queen for a member of an alien
race. Judas scorns this offer with
loathing and distrust and the queen,
fingered at his refusal, has him thrown
into a dungeon. Then seeking out the
king she tells him that the Maccabees
have grossly insulted her and the king
rising in his wrath demands that the
whole family be brought before him.
Here because they refuse to eat certain
viands prohibited by their laws they
are sentenced to death. The queen
witnessing the cruelty Of the king is
again overcome by her affection for
Judas and Fastening to the prison
brides the jailers and entering the cell
of the Maccabees attempts to persuade
them to flee, offering them liberty and
happiness; but they, scorning to be-
holden to such a woman as she, refuse
to accept the proffered aid. Next
morning Astarte, seated on the i'm
penal divan, hears the bowls of the
riotous mob jeering and insulting the
heroic Maccabees on their way to the
place of execution. She can scarcely
bear the thought of the terrible death
that awaits them; finally overcome by
rcmorse, she hastens to the outskirts of
the village, where the Egyptian army
is drawn up in a circle around the place
of death. She forces her way through
the tumultuous rioting excited throng
in her effort to save these martyrs.
But, alas, too late. The edict of the
king has already been carried out and
wild with grief the queen throws her
self across the body of the dead Judas.

One morning, upon entering his wood
she'd the writer saw suspended in the
air a small stick of wood with an invis-
IDLE support. This stick was nine
inches long, one inch wide, except at
the ends, which were somewhat pointed
and ore-fourths inch thick. BY care
full inspection, it was found that there
were 10 cable webs attached to the
upper end of the stick; these radiated
out and up and were attached TO timbers
nine feet above. There We're no lateral
webs. The little stick swung clear of
any object being about three feet from
the ground.
We had some difficult geometrical
problems to solve when in college; but
this little geometrician presents prob
lem scarcely less difficult of solution
Could one spider alone lift so large a
stick, which was wood not bark? If
not, did he form a trust and have a
'raisng?' The writer feels disposed
to confess ignorance and pass the ques-
ton over to the College Summer School.

One day the Doctors mother placed
several Thanksgiving pies in the spare
room" to cool The bird flew into the
room, selected a mince pie, pulled the
crust off and was enjoying the mince-
meat when the old lady discovered him.
Putting the pies on a large tray, she
was taking them to closet, when the
bird, seeing her intention and evidently
seeing also that her hands were holding
the sides of the tray, fled down and
expressed his indignation by angrily
pulling off her cap.
A number of other incidents are on
record where birds showed their disgust
for those who robbed their nests of
eggs and where birds even formed in a
body to attack those collecting eggs.
The sorrow of pet crows and parrots
whose masters are removed by death is
often noticed, and one very tame crow
which was owned by woman in Vir-
ginia would fly to the cemetery and sit
for hours on tree which stood near the
grave of its beloved mistress.
Parrots and even canaries have been
known to refuse to eat and have died in
sorrow and grief over the loss of hui
man companions.
1t is just as reasonable to suppose a
bird has feelings as well as horses OF
dogs, which are frequently inconsolable
after the loss of their owners. Birds
surely grieve after the loss of THEN
mates, and they, of course, could be
come attached to human friends. -

Appeal CT the Y. M. c. A.
To the People of Addison County and
Brandon:

Brandon:
The undersigned constituting the
finance committee of the Young Mems
Christian association of Addison county
and Brandon appeal to the people in
behalf of the work of this organization.
For over fifty years the Young Mems
Christian association has been one Of
the most helpful agencies at work for
the benefit Of the young men in cities
and large towns. 1t has reached out
a helping hand to many thousands Of
young men away from home, providing
healthful recreation, stimulating educa-
tional and religious advantages, and
delivered them from innumerable temp
tations.
a few years ago an attempt was
made to extend the advantages of the
Y. NJ. c. A. to the boys and young men
of the country districts, who are not
less in need of helpful influences than
their brothers in the cities. Despite
great obstacles, this attempt has met
with noteworthy success. Thousands
of boys and young men in the country
districts have been stirred to new life
through the endeavors of this organiza-
ton.
Recently this work has been under
taken i'm our midst. Organizations have
been effected in a number of towns
about us. The work has included re-
ligious meetings, Bible study classes,
social entertainments, literary meet
ings. musicals, outdoor games, etc,
etc.
The leader for the past two years has
been Mr.. J. Sterling Moran. He has
worker as hard as any man in Vermont
He has proved that he knows how to
get hold Of boys and young men, and
not a few of them have felt the benefit
of his hristian influence He has in
terested some Of the best businessmen
of our communities and is attracting
other friends in behalf of young men.
The work was never more promising
than at present. Organizations at
other points are contemplated and we
are ready for enlargement Of the work
all along the line.
We hear much talk today about the
conservation Of natural resources.
Surely the conservation of young Amer
lean manhood is more important than
the protection Of material things.
This work Is economically carried on,
but it requires support nevertheless.
As a committee we have studied care
fully the needs of the field and believe
that at least $1,000 can be wisely spent
The community has had full value for
all the money contributed hitherto, and
will receive large returns from the
amount we are now trying to raise.
We commend this cause to your gener-
osity and appeal for the cooperation of
all, without respect to denomination
for help in carrying on the work of this
? most worthy organization.

THE mad performance of the Syrian

its enforcement, will 90 far toward
making such law effective.
