CALLED PARADISE OF BIRDS
Great Lake Region Abounds in Rare Songsters - Attracted by the
 Many Lakes.

The lake region of Michigan and Wisconsin has been described as the paradise of birds"
 In Michigan alone 300 species of birds have been identified The great lakes and the thousands of lesser lakes add to the bird life by calling to these waters the aquatic birds Mich lgan has many birds whose habitat Is in the far north around Hudson bay and others that live in the states south of Michigan. even along and be- yond the Gulf of Mexico. The first are illustrated by the Bohemian wax wing, spruce partridge. Canadian jay and others, while the summer red bird, the mocking bird and the card inal red bird illustrate the second group
 The great lakes attract many birds that are usually maritime, such as gulls and terms.
 Michigan abounds in lakes-there are 425 for instance. within a 25-mile radius of Battle Creek-and there are the nesting places for many interesting birds not found elsewhere

A White House Ecte.

I know nothing more impressive ln it's dignity, more complete in it's way, than the White House, en fete. It em- bodies aN our best tradition of hospi- tality and cordiality-of perfection without ostentation. Then there is something in the atmosphere which hangs about it-especially during the days of closing administration, which makes one think of that serenity that seems to cling around the woods of Mount Vernon, and which appears there almost like 8 material reflex from the calm and tempered ripeness of it's owners soul. There IS, l imag- inc, an affinity, certain likeness in the magnanimity of all generous, wise and simple men whether of ancient or modern times Alas! too hard for our generation of egotists to follow or even respect. The only ideal which is preached nowadays Is "one's duty to oneself. From Pieces of the Game," Countess de Chambruns book.

Beautiful Elan ElnAMer

Among the stateliest and proudest of the members of Americas flower family none excels the larger blue flag, which also wears the names of blue iris and fleur-de-lis. Ruskin calls it the Flower of Chivalry, which has q sword for it's leaf and lily for it's heart. Longfellow pronounces it "a flower born iu the purple, 10 joy and pleasance." It blooms in the wet, rich marsh and meadow, from May to July. and finds it's home from New foundland and Manitoba to Florida and Arkansas. The flag flower must look to the insect world entirely for fto propagation, pdrtlcuIarly to the bees as It's pollen carriers So it puts forth flower that is blue tinted, for its experience has taught t that a bee can be wooed with blue better than with any other color

PASSED 4 MISERABLE NIGHT
Refused Place m House, Mrs. Eliza beth Caoy Stanton Slept in
 Carriage.

Even the man who does not sympa- thize with the movement for wcm- ans rights cannot help admiring the leaders of it. Elizabeth Cady Stanton proved more than once, says the Youth s Companion, that she had both physical and moral courage of high order. She had often. say her biog- raphers in "Heroines of Modern Prog ress, to utter her message under the most trying circumstances.
 Once in Michigan party of speak CTS visited deaf and dumb institu tion. Mrs. Stanton just said: There is one comfort in visiting this place, we shall not be asked to speak, when the superintendent came up with: Ladies, the pupils are as sembled in the chapel ready to hear you They spoke, while the superin- ten1ent repeated in sign language what they said. At another time their boat was icebound in the middle of the Mississippi river. Someone shout ed: Speech on woman suffrage!" They rose to the occasion, ard there at midnight made several new con- verts
 In Kansas Mrs Stanton one night was refused lodging in house, and ensconced herself in the e ~age. II had just fallen into gentle slumber,' she wrote, when a chorus of grunts and violent shaking of the aarriage revealed to me the fact that I was Sur-nundSd by th1.so iorr.-nooC,f -piesvfx pigs so celebrated for their courage and pertinacity. They had discovered that the iron steps of the carriage made most satisfactory scratching posts. Alas thought I, before morn- ing I shall be devoured!'" She piled the whip upon them, but without ef feet; so she went to sleep and let them scratch at their pleasure. Il had sad night of it, and never tried the carriage again, although I had many equally miserable experiences within four walls

After the War is over

Clifford Pinchot continues to make
an ass of himself He was elected
from Belgium by Germany where he
went to do relief work, because he
proved trouble maker and did much
talking and no working He has now
come home and says that if Germany
wins in Europe the United States
will have to fight Germany Some
body ought to loan Pinchot few
brains. If Germany and Austria or
France and England win they will be
SO exhausted and debt-ridden that
they will not engage in another strug
gle for hundred years anyway
This war once ended the only danger
of war which would threaten the I'm
tied States would be with Japan and
this wouldn't be very serious unless
Japan were aided by Russia or Eng
land, or both. 1t is not strange that
Pennsylvania elected Boies penrose
senator instead of Clifford Pinchet."

This makes reassuring reading and
the only pity is that so many experts
who have studied the questions from
all sides. the military, the socioloeic-
al and the economic, give up opin-
ions at variance with the contempor-
ary's conclusions. The theory OF ex-
haustion from war is treated as be-
ing about as sound as the theory pre-
viously held that the worlds fnan-
ciers would not permit such a war
as is now being waged ever to take
place The little Balkan states were
exhausted after their war with
Turkey, but somehow or other they
found strength enough to scrap
among themselves after finishing
with the Ottomans, and were thereby
the more completely exhausted"
but the result so far as banishing war
from their thoughts is seen in the
way some are now involved in the
European conflict with others on the
point of entering, and all with sufii-
cient military strength TO make them
factors which must be reckoned with
Nor will the exhaustion OF the vic
tors in the present war be so great
as might be expected The terms of
peace, if the whole affair is not dead
locked, viii not be simple or easy.
The world has had a taste of Ger
many's method of making her van
pushed enemy pay the cost of the
war. 1t has been estimated that
Germany actually made cash profit
from the F'ranco-Prussian struggle,
and with such rich nations as France,
England and Russia to draw upon
should victory again descend on the
Teutonic banners, it is idle to say
that Germany will permit herself to
come through exhausted The Allies
may also be taken as determined to
make the Teutons pay the freight as
far as possible should they send the
Germans down in defeat The Ban
ner seemingly has not much faith in
its own prediction that none of the
big powers will make war for 100
years, for it mentions the possibilit- |
les Of Russia and England joining
with Japan in a war against this

New Board of Education.

| There will be general satisfaction
over Governor Gates choice of mem
bers of the new state board of educa-
ton. James Hardness of Springfield
and Frank H. Brooks of st. Johns
bury, who We're members of the form
er board, are reappointed, the form
err to the position of chairman. post
which he is eminently we'll qualified
to fill. The new members are Rev.
A. w. Hewitt of Planfeld. whose
work as chairman of the education
committee in the last legislature
brought him in close touch with the
new education bill; Marvelle c. Web
her, chairman of the board of educa-
ton of the city of Rutland; and Lu-
Their b. Johnson, editor of the Ran
dolph Herald and News, one OF the
most studious newspaper men in
Vermont and particularly interested
in educational matters. The new
law gives the board much greater
control over Vermonts educational
system than was formerly the case,
but there is no doubt that the men
named by Governor Gates are
thoroughly competent TO assume the
duties The only thing The Reform
er regrets is that the governor did
not name a woman as one member.
AS rule women are so much more
closely in touch with school affairs
that it seems as if woman's view
point would have been worth having.
