The Robins Food.

Once upon time some one got the no
ton that the common American robin is a
foe to the orchardist and berry-grower.
The alleged discovery was promptly
published broadcast. and the fruit-grow-
er loaded his gun and went forth to slay
the robin.
Since the robin redbreas. is the COM
monest of our birds, extremely So
ciable in his habits and unsuspecting in
his disposition, he naturally fell an easy
victim. The fruit-grower felt himself
perfectly justified, for did not the bird de-
stroy the early cherries, pick the young
apples from the trees and help himself to
any number OF quarts of berries He
had been caught in the act again and
again.
The fruit-grower's investigation into
the food habits of the robin went no fur
ther than observing that he sometimes
ate cherries. II never occurred TO the
man with the shotgun to examine the
contents of his victims stomach. If he
had done so with mind open TO convic-
ton, a surprise would have met him.
The robin does eat early fruit, but the
quantity is small in proportion to the
number of insects he destroys.
His diet consists chiefly OF moths. but
terflies. caterpillars, earthworms, cut
worms, and other creatures that the farm
er can very well spare. The small fruit
that the bird consumes is only his dessert
after meat.
If the robin plucks small apples from
your trees, would it not be well to EXAM
inc the apple before killing the bird 2
He may be doing you great service.
Probably you will find that he has not
eaten the young apple, after all, but has
dropped it on the ground. A little FUR
ther examination will show that il con-
tained larva OF the destructive codling-
moth; the bird was not after the apple,
but the iarva-
Nesting birds live wholly on insect
food. The writer once watched pair Of
robins that had their nest on porch cap.
From The time the young were Matched
until they were ready to leave the nest
the parents visited them on the average
once every fifteen minutes, and brought
at each visit from one to three insects.
Cutworms and army-worms were the
chief of the youngsters diet.
Another brood, reared in an apple-tree
near large orchard, were fed almoste ex-
clusively upon codIing-moths.

SUICIDE FROM TOWER.
Mr.. j. II. T. DonOho Meets Fearful
Death-While Temporarily Insane
Throws Himself From Tower of
New State Hospital.

While suffering from an attack
of what is believed to have been
temporary insanity, Mr.. James R..
Thurman Donoho, son of Rev. and
Mrs. S. M. Donoho, of Maryland
avenue, this city, yesterday after
noon, about three O'Clock, escaped
from his home, in an entirely nude
condition, and made his way to the
New State Hospital, on the Kirwan
farm, about a mile and half from
Cambridge, where he assembled
tower 1876 feet high, from which
he cast himself to the ground, the
falling. killing him instantly.
The unfortunate incident cast a
gleom over the entire community,
especially among the many young
men who knew the young man, and
with whom he was quite popular.
As far as can be learned, the
young man went home Thursday
evening in an excited state of
mind, and continued to get worse,
and while his condition was consid-
cred more or less alarming, it was
not believed that he would do him
self bodily harm, or that he would
get beyond the control of his fami-
~. Yesterday afternoon, about
three o'clock, after talking with
his father, he told his mother
goodbye, and in a few minutes, af-
ter having disrobed himself, Left
the house, before any member of
the household realized what he
was doing, and ran down the road
toward the canning house of T. M.
Bramble & Co.
An alarm was given at once, and
efforts were made to apprehend
him. but being a very robust and
active young man, in splendid physi-
cal condition, he eluded His pur-
suers and turned across the farm
OF Mr.. J. Howard Hirst making his
way to Shoal Creek, which he Cross
ed, and suddenly coming out of the
woods, ran and jumped up on a
portion CT the foundation of the
new Hospital. The men who were
working at the other end of the
foundation, about ESQ or 800 feet
away, were at first dazed, as the
naked man made his appearance,
but after he sang for moment,
they realized that something was
wrong, and started toward him.
A soon as he noticed this, he ran
for the tower, and succeeded in
reaching it before the men from
the opposite direction could do so.
Ascent to the top of the tower,
which Is Las feet high, could only
Be made BY means of cleats. which
had been nailed on one corner, but
he scaled these with such facility
as to paralize those watching him
Reaching the top of the ladder,
which stops ten feet from the
top OF the tower, he Skinned up te
the extreme top, where he kneli

for few moments in prayer, after
which he stood erect and scanned
the horizon in every direction, and,
after facing toward his home, with
his arms folded, he leaned back
/! ward until he fell off of the tow
er.
In the meantime the men below
I'had used every means at their
command to prevent his untimely
end, but, caught unawares, he had
gained the tower, being nearer to
it than they, and after getting on
| it, while some of the men were
willing to go up after him, it was
believed that he would cast himself
down the moment he saw an at
tempt made tc prevent the consuma-
ton of his plans.
Mr.. Donoho, who was known to
all Of his friends as Thurman, was
thirty-one years old last August.
He was especially active and was
famed for his physical proves. He
was a great baseball fan, and at
tended several of the Worlds Sc
ries games. Mr.. Donoho had been
member of Rescue Fire Com
pany for a number of years and
was one of its most popular mem
bers. He is survived by his grief
stricken parents and by one sister,
Mrs. Leonard Lindenmeyer,o of Bal
timore.
The funeral services will be held
from his late home, on Maryland
avenue, tomorrow afternoon, at
2.30 o'clock. Interment will be
in Cambridge Cemetery.
