The Federal Bird Law.

| The SD Congress passed bill that
places migratory birds under the
powerful protection OF the United
States government, and that will put
| an end to the shooting Of song birds
and insectivcrous birds in any state.
The Weeks Mclean migratory bird
law provides that the Bureau Of
Biological Survey of the United
States Department OF agriculture shall
fix the seasons in which the shooting
of migratory is permitted. The bureau
has completed and published the first
of regulations, which may become
effective on October LIST. Thesa regula-
tons take absolute precedence over all
existing statutes in the various states.
Spring-shooting is absolutely pro-
hihited, and so is the shooting of
migratory birds between sunset and
sunrise. A closed season is estab-
lished until September l, 1918, for
band-tail pigeons, little browns, sand
hill and whooping cranes, swans, cur
leys, all shore-birds, except black
breasted and golden proven, Wilson
or jacksnipe, wood-duck and greater
and lesser yellow-legs. Az all times
and in all states, the regulations
prohibit the shooting of insectiyorous
birds, such as robins, grosbeaks,
larks, and many other birds. They
and Others that have become greatly
in nombers. The Department
Of Agriculture at Washington will
send the full text Of. the new regulation
10 any one upon his request

Clergy Poorest Jurors.

That clergynlen do not make desir-
able jurors is admitted by the off,
cials of Sehuylkill Haven, Pa, after
an experiment of several years. Sew
eral years ago Judge Mari, angercd
by constant pulpit criticisms of the
court, ordered the name OF every min
lister in the county placed in the jury
wheel, SO that the clergymen would
personally see and hear what was be-
ing done. In every jury list drawn
since then there has been a large
number of ministers; but the result
has not been satisfactory, because t
is said the clergymen are too suscepti-
BILE to sentiment, which they allow to
control them instead of evidence.
They are also always inclined to
mercy and are more easily taken in
by the pathetic pleas of old offenders
against the law than any other class
of jurors, the authorities declare.
The clergymen themselves declare
that, like physicians, they should be
exempt from jury duty. because OF the
frequent urgent need for their serv.
ices by people who are critically Ill or
dying.

crofters are so poor than in many
parishes the doctors do not earn more
than ESQ to $40 a year, while In
one case it could not be more than
$40.

The committee recommended the
constitution of special local authori-
ties to develop and correlate existing
medical services, and the erection of

suggests that at certain centers tie
doctors should receive an annual sub
sidy to enable them to attend distant
patients at low fees.
