to read the Bible and sorry he has not
been a more diligent student OF it in

were destroyed in a fire which burned
his home. McKOwn supposed his in
uranc policy had been burned. The
loss was finally adjusted at the moun
which he claimed was the face of the
policy, $500.
A few days g when Mckown open

(The Strand.)

It is quite within the bounds OF
possibility that within a very few years

denied that the demand for the skins
and feathers of birds is an ever in
~creasing one. and is following tho
growth of national wealth.
Within committees for economic
preservation in the great capitals OF
Europe and with a trade willing to
accept their findings and give prompt
effect to them, we may look in a little
time for the end Of reckless killing
and the recognition Of reproducing
its species and renewing its p%luInes.
is far more valuable than a dead one.
