Worse TO Come.

The regular trombone player Of q
Scottish orchestra was laid up with a
cold, and the conductor reluctantly ac-
cepted the services of brass band
amateur He was little doubtful,
however, as to the suitability Of his
substitute.
After the first performance the new
player asked the conductor how he
had done.
The conductor replied that he had
done pretty fairly, but that perhaps
he would do better next night.
The newcomer. eyeing him grateful

nifty to walk when you can? If it
is a matter of several blocks, do you

every opportunity to walk, but walk

energy into this exercise. Really make
1t an exercise. Do not eat more than
one starchy food at meal, drink
plenty of water, but between meals,
and. above all, eat enough to allay
hunger, but stop there; do not con-
tinue as If you were never going to
get another meal instead of one quite

Chinese Antiquities.

So well has the market for Chinese
antiquities been worked by the deal
ers that the increase in prices of Chi
nese sculpture in the last five or six
years has been forty to fifty times.
For example, one piece of sculpture of
North Wei times-ninth century A.
D.-estimated to have cost $400 in
China, after passing through only two
or three hands, is held by dealer at
$4,000. One American museum has
ten stone heads broken from statues
in the interior Of China. Realizing in
all this the menace to the sculptures
of China, the Asiatic Institute Is CO.
operating with the China Monument
society Of Peking, whose committee is
composed of the foreign ministers in
Pektng Of Great Britain, Russia, Amer
lea, France, and Japan. One remedy
which the institute proposes in it's
appeal is the return to China by all
responsible governments and institu-
tions Of stolen Chinese antiquities in
accordance with a precedent of the
French government and of the Smith
sonian Institution, which set an exam
pie by returning to China archaeolog-
ical and historical objects of which
she had been robbed and which had
come into It's possession.

BIRD CENSUS IS BIG TASK
Government Wishes to Ascertain

It, The object is to determine how
many pairs of birds of each species
breed within definite areas. By COM
pairing these figures with those of sub
sequent censuses, it will be possible to
ascertain whether the present state
and federal laws are effective and
game and insectiverous birds increas-
ing or diminishing In numbers
AS beginning the department has
asked about $50 correspondents
throughout the country, who have pre-
yiously rendered valuable service, to
follow a general outline In supplying
information.
The correspondents have been ad-
yised that the census of the birds
should be taken over some area that
fairly represents the average char
acter of the country in the immediate
neighborhood.
1t is desired to take a census Of the
pairs Of birds actually nesting within
the selected area.
1t Is practically impossible to make
this census on the scale of 40 or so
acres in a single day. A plan which
has been used with advantage for sew
eral years is to begin at daylight some
morning the last of May, or the first
week in June, and zigzag back and
forth across the area, counting the
male birds of each species.

few days ago.
Who ever heard disparaging word
about the lemons, oranges. vines, figs.

height of bad taste to object to those
delightful growths of the Mediter-

Guernsey is practically one large
glass house. Nurseries, growers, and
agents are the principal features of

and flower statesmen are emblazoned
In prominent positions, and conversa-
tion in Guernsey does not stray much
beyond the limits of such subscts as
deal directly with the cultivation and
marketing of fruit and the breeding
of cattle
1t is all very well for the idealist to
grumble because the natural beauty
OF the place is injured by the enor-

those houses is most acceptable to

decorative flowers of various kinds

matoes. new potatoes, forced beans
and peas, melons, figs and grapes also
must be named among the important

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and MummIes.
