THE BROWN RABBT4T.
CBy Virginia valeO

Once upon a time a little brown rabbit lay.sdown4underSa tree to have a nap. He went sound asleep and dreamed. oh such "a dream. He thought that all the rabbits had shed their feet and new ones had grown in their place. He was to take the old ones and go to the big gray fox to sell them. He didn't think much Of that but as rabbits feet are sup posed to bring good luck to any one that owns one he knew the fox would be glad to get so many all at once.
 Of he started with them in a big bag over his shoulder and he soon came to where the fox lived. Rap a-tap- It was very faint at first but the next time he got more courage and 1t was quite a loud ssrap-a-tap'. and the fox said, Come in, brother rabbit knew it was you all the t1me.''
 The rabbit sat down in chair quite near the door so to. run if the fox looked cross but he looked very pleasant and smiled.
 Some way the poor little rabbit didn't ike his smile, his mouth look edsbIg and his tongue red, and he re- membereds what he had heard about him and thatswas that he was rather foxy He told the fox what he had to sell and asked him if he wanted them.
 
 ward the rabbit. while he opened the bag and took out the rabbits feet to give to the fox. .sSs \ sz
 All at once the fox made a grab at thesrabbM but only caught hold of his little tail and that slipped out of his paws.
 Out flew the rabbit and the fox af- ter him. Round and round the house they flew until the rabbit felt his breath was giving out so he droppe d his bag and as the fox stopped to pick itsupshe ran home as fast as he could.
 He woke up and rubbed his eyes to see if the fox was chasing him and then he laughed so hard that all the rabbits came running to see what was the matter and when he told them of his dream they laughed too. Tie brown rabbit, however, said 1t was too real. and he really thought the fox was chasing him and he hoped he never would have a dream like that again.

HOW TO MAKE AND 2 PUT UP NESTING
 BOXES FOR BIRDS.

More than 10000 nesting boxes or bird-houses, have been put up in Mas sachusetts at my recommendation during the past ten years, but unfor- tunateIy many of these have not been occupied by birds. People need in- houses and when, how, and where to place them. One reason why peo- pie in cities have not been. successful is that native birds which nest in boxes will not settle in numbers where English sparrows, cats, and squirrels are numerous.
 Nesting boxes for the smaller birds should be made with entrances so small that gray squirrels cannot get in Sparrows may be kept out of the wrens nesting boxes by making the entrance not over one, inch in diam eter They may be discouraged from building in other nesting boxes by talk
 ing their eggs, which involves no cruelty, or by keeping the boxes closed until the sparrows have built elsewhere. and then opening them about May 1, when the native birds have mated.
 The entrance holes of the nesting boxes should be 1-4 inches for l chickadees; 1-2 inches for blue
 birds or swallows and or more in ches for martins Pine wood is the
 best material for bird-house as it is light but strong and durable enough.
 Metal or pottery may be used if put up in the shade. The log nesting g
 boxes, holIowed out in the European style which are how so popular with l our people, do not seem to be quite so popular with native birds as are i the oId-fashioned square-built nest | ing-boxes, which may be very easily
 and cheaply made. We must allow the birds to be judges of what they
 want. The inside measurements of 3
 box for wrens may be 1-2 by 3 1-2
 by 6; for chickadees 3 1-2 by 3 1-1 by S-4; for bluebirds 1-2 by 1-2 by g 1-4; for swallows 5 by 5 by 1-2. The longest dimension is
 always the vertical one These meas urements are not arbitrary. The boxes may be larger, but not much smaller. The swallow box may

The Athletic association held the regular monthly meeting yesterday at the close of school in the Assembly hall. After the secretary's and treas urer's reports. had been read, Presi- dent Hurley called for further bust ness, but, strange to say no daredevil freshman risked the chance of com p1eting a four years course by pro- posing the adoption of freshmen ath- letics by the association. At any rate the executive committee wishes to thank the person or persons responsi- ble for the free advertising B. H. S. athletics have received through the freshmen press notices. As Miss Dor othy Lauder has resigned from the executive committee, it was necessary to call for nominations for her sue cessor. Those nominated are Misses Ethel Donovan, Edith Dillingham; and E1sa Clauder. One brave young gen tleman had the audacity to propose that the basketball team receive the suits the members have been wearing the past season Although the motion was carried several believed that the suits could possibly stand another year of service, but the members of the .team are contrary minded. As there was no other business to be transact ed the meeting then adjourned.
