BIRD PROTECTION.

After a thorough consideration of the duties imposed upon them under the Mclean law for the protection of migratory birds the department of ag- riculture has issued the regulations with the approval of the secretary, to become finally effective upon the first of October. This gives three months period for the consideration of the provisions which according to the law go into effect the first of July. The task of the framers of the law has not been an easy one and it is probable that some changes will have to be made before it becomes as effective as desired. That it has been given a start is reason for believing that a service which has long been delayed will prove of great value.
 For some of the birds which have been hunted far beyond the margin of safety 8 closed season of five years has been fixed, while between sunset and sunrise no migratory or insecti vorous bird can be shot, and spring shooting is entirely forbidden. Much of the regulation is attempted by the zone system but there is also special provision for different sections where added protection is necessary. It is one of the most important and sweep ing steps ever taken in this country for the protection of wild bird life. The conditions of the birds in the various sections have been well looked into and henceforth with the added protection of the law all that is needed is the enforcement to have them get the square deal which they have so long deserved.

DUTY OF VETERANS.

Today marks the grand movement throughout the country upon Gettys- burg, an army of men and friends which will include not only thousands Of those who took part in the famous battle, but many others who helped to make the battle of Gettysburg through previous encounters, and were engaged 4n other great fights of the year. It Is reunion of both sides such as like ly will never occur again and while there was duty to perform on the oc- casfon of their meeting as foes there likewise is one as they meet this week as friends, and such lies in proper defense of their health. Though every thing has been done in the way of pro- viding hospitals, hospital service. food and shelter 1t would be far better could the reunion take place without sickness or injury. The need of exer- cising the greatest care is incumbent upon the old veterans. It is most de- sirable that having once escaped with their lives from that great battle field that they should leave it again alive and well. The hardships and fatal results which are liable are keep ing thousands at home, and good judgment which actuates those vet erans should likewise be used during the reunion by those who go.
 The reunion like the battle is bound to be a hard one with a half century lacked onto their ages since they were first there, with the promise of hot July weather emotional circumstances and the outgrowing of tent life. Cau- ton on their part should be added to the precautions of the government.

NEW JEWELRY.


 The girl who possesses one of the new lucky wrinkle bracelets should con slider herself fortunate, for they are truly pretty. They are made of little gold winkle shells held together by slender chains, and inside each shell there is an opal. pearl, turquoise or some other gem. The opal looks spec ially pretty, because it has the sem blance of an ridescent dewdrop. The shells are beautifully modelled, and even the grain shows
 Coral is fashionable now and is used for all kinds of iewelry from polished pear shaped eardrops to carved pieces set in brooches and bangles.
 A pretty bracelet seen the other day was made of gold set with three carved pink coral roses, two small ones and one large one.
 Another new form of jewelry which should not be forgotten is the butter fly kind. It is made of real butter flies wings of the brilliant Brazilian varieties set behind rock crystal.
 A pretty necklet is made of narrow bars about three quarters of an inch in length, of bright blue butterflies wings attacked by silver chains. Whole but ter flies are treated in this way and are used as brooches.

SUFFRAGE IN ILLINOIS.

That the women of Illinois should be rejoicing not only at the passage of the bill giving them restricted suf- frage by the legislature, but at the signing of the bill by the governor, is only to be expected. They have gained by laudable methods what others have been endeavoring to get through de- rogatory efforts. It gives them the opportunity to demonstrate in the nid- dle west whether all they have been claiming for the cause is possible or not, whether womans suffrage will be evil, whether it will work harm to the homes or put into town, city and state elections any better motives than al- much the ballot is desired by the wo- men in general of the state.
 Western states have had the ball. lot for years, but as a leader in the east Illinois will have all eyes centered thereon. That state will be watched with eagerness by the forces both for and against suffrage for it's good or it's bad effect. Upon it will depend the quickening or the slackening of the movement in behalf of suffrage throughout the east. It is one of the best advertisements which suffrage has received and upon it's use will de- pend its effect. To England it has already given lesson in the observ- ance of law and order, and a proper presentation of the cause, while it's greatest lesson to the other states will lie in the use which they make of the new privilege.
