"By and by a young lady came

she saw us. l suppose she meant me,
although she did not say SO, and OF

"T must have your picture. Will
you stand by the gate, with the dolly
In your arms?"
"'Of course, she WILL said the nurse
who was with us, and she pulled me
out of the carriage by my arm.
my little mother took me away
from her. You hurt my Drusilla," she
said. You would not want me to pull
your arm like that
"'You darling GIRL said the young
lady again. She seemed to take
great fancy to me. You are a very
lucky dolly to have such a nice little

The United States once possessed a
distinctly American bird, belonging to
the great family of the pigeons, but diff
ferent from all other species OF that
family, and so remarkable for its vast
numbers and it's peculiar habits that II
became renowned as one OF the greatest
marvels of the new world. II was called
the passenger pigeon. Its singularities
marked 1t off from Is distant relatives
in the old world as sharply as the Ameri-
can red man was distinguished from the
European .....- -...
1t was so conspicuous a feature OF
American life that, like the buffalo OF
tho plains, II passed into our literature.
where IL plays part unlike that taken
by any other bird in any quarter OF the
world. other birds have been sung by
poets for the beauty OF their songs, or
the aspiring ideals which they seem 90
symbolic. The passenger pigeon forced
itself upon the attention OF American
historians and descriptive writer's by the
simple countlessness OF its hosts. When
they passed they changed the aspect Of
the landscapes; they covered the sky and

grain, which, II will be noticed. Ia in
good accord with Audubon's calculation
Of the amount OF provender required by
the pigeons.
One cannot but wonder how the birds
succeeded in maintaining themselves in
a wild country. but 1t is explained that
they began to eat grain only after the
settlers farms furnished It for them. and
that their natural food was berries, soft
shelled nuts like beechnuts, aoorns. and
wild fruits. Their ordinary migrations
were simply movements in search Of
food. and not seasonal changes OF resi-
dences like those OF regular migrant
birds They gathered wherever their
natural food abounded at the time and,
when It was exhausted, moved on. Their
invasions were as erratic and sudden as
those OF the Goths and vandals, and as
well calculated to excite establishment
concerning their place Of origin.
The region OF the great lakes seems to
have been favorite place Of congrega-
ton for those strange hosts There they
found many OF the natural productions on
which they relied. But how they ever, at
tanned such Incredible numbers. and what
special circumstances favored their de-
Veiopment, are standing mysteries. The
beech forests and the vast numbers OF
native berry bushes appear to have nour-
ished them,
