comes helpless when darkness
covers the land. The birds have
no maps but night can not lead
them astray. They must possess a
topographic, or geographic, sense
superior TO ours. They know the
mountains and plains and the
points of the compass better than
we do.
Sometimes their way lies for
long distances over the sea.
That does not disconcert them. If
they encounter a ship they will,
occasionally, rest their weary
wings on its spars. but when they
resume their course there is no
hesitation. They are not troubled,
like the mariner, who looks with
equal wonder upon their arrival
and departure, with questions of
latitude and longitude.
They have no need to consult
the pole star, or to shoot the SUM-"

They carry no thermometers, and
their Unborn science exceeds the
knowledge of the Nautical Alma

There are spots on the earth
which are like great crossroads for

the killing instinct in growing chill

manliness in their little boys by

heart a love and sympathy for
birds and beasts, and if she then
stipulated that his gun practice
should consist wholly in target
shooting under proper guidance
and instruction, her boy would
grow up skilled as a good marks
man and yet humane and kindly

Every man should know how to
use gun and revolver.
There are occasions when such

GCDEAR FRIEND:


please permit us to call
your attention to a great
and serious evil now menacing our
insect-eating birds. Millions Of
small birds in migration are de-
stroyed yearly by the people of the
Southern States and used as food.
This destruction, now increasing,
is having serious effect on the
numbers Of song birds in the
North. Negroes are armed with
guns, and many are proficient in
other means of destruction. In
the N~~th, also, large numbers of
foreign laborers coming from Eu-
rope kill small birds for food. It is
only recently that little birds were
sold in large quantities in New
York City, and they are still sold
by thousands in the South.
The Audubon societies, which
have already checked the killing
of native birds for millinery pur-
poses, now propose to stop the
slaughter of song birds for food in
this country This is a stupen-
dous task 1t must be done by edu-
eating the public through the
schools the press and the clergy,
and by securing better laws and
BETTER ENFORCEMENT OF
THE LAWS now on the statute
books. The scarcity of robins,
bluebirds and bobolinks is becom-
ing noticeable over wide areas.

IHAVE just learned Of a singular
thing which happened this
autumn on the famous pass
of the Great St Bernard over the
Alps
The hospitable monks in the
monastery at the summit of the
pass, at an elevation Of more than
5000 feet above sea-level, were as,
tonished one evening to see, in
the midst of a sudden snowstorm,
a black cloud approaching from
the north.
The strange apparition soon
resolved itself into a vast flock
of swallows, which had apparent

near the beginning of their an
nual migration toward the SUMMER
lands on the south Of the great
mountains Probably they had
been confused by the driving
storm
The monks instantly opened
wide all their doors and windows,
and the poor birds, accepting the
invitation in the spirit I'm which 1t
was offered Immediately swarmed
into the warm halls by thousands,
and even flew into the bed
chambers of the monks, who vel
coined them freely wherever they
chose to so.
They were fed and lodged for
the night and the next morning
when the doors and windows were
opened amid a burst OF warm sun
shine, the birds joyfully. and we
may suppose thankfully, with a
multimdinous fluttering of wings,
took their departure toward the
south. quickly descending into the
genial atmosphere Of Italy.
Then the good monks went forth
amid the newly fallen snow. and,
with heavy hearts. found hundreds

the great mysteries Of bird life. 1t

remain in northern climes during
the winter, With uuerring instinct
they discern the approaching close

An editor is a millionaire without
