Origin of HaIiol.

Baliol college. Oxford, originated in medieval times. John de Baliol, the founder, for certain outrages on the church was condemned to be logged in the porch of Durham cathedral and to endow poor scholars at Oxford. This occurred before 1266, so Baliol can make a plausible claim to be the oldest college with a continuous his tory in Oxford university. Although Wiclif was one of the earliest masters, the college rarely prospered until the close of the eighteenth century. and at one time the members became so mo- torious for drunken rowdiness that they were styled linen of Belial." The intellectual supremacy of Baliol dates from the reign of Dr. Parsons, who in- vented the examination system, and the arrival from the Scottish universi. ties of the "feelosophers," at whom Cobbett scoffed.--London Chronicle.

poets .nd ,,,,I poo..

Poets have always loved dogs. In this poets and boys resemble each oth- CT. Walter Savage Landor was de- voted to his dog Giallo, and Byron's epitaph upon bis dog Boatswain we all remember:
 To mark friends remains these stones
 arise.
 I never had hut one. and there he lies.
 Cowper was very fond of his dog, and we know how Charles Lamb, who was prose poet, loved his Dash and how Mrs. Browning appreciated the little Flush to whom she indited q poem. The Earl of Shaftesbury kept his noble collie in his library with him at all times, and Samuel Rogers al ways walked out with his dog Scott declined an invitation to dinner when his dog died, saying that he could not accept on account of the Toss of an old friend. ."-St James Gazette.

Eeraet Once In Awhile.

The health of the body as well as of the mind depends upon forgetting. To let the memory of wrong, of angry words, of petty meanness, finger and rankle in your memory will not only dissipate your mental energy, but it will react upon the body. The secre- tions will be diminished, digestion i'm paired, sleep disturbed and the general health suffer in consequence Forget. ting is splendid mental calisthenie and good medicine for the body.

Saving the Birds.

One good result of the coming of
the Redpath chautauqua to Bruins
wick this season, has been to give
a lively impetus to the work of CON
serving migratory birds, and all other
birds for that matter a local organi-
cation for that purpose has been form
ed and the interest in the work is
growing rapidly.
Regulations by the United States
department OF agriculture indicate the
further pressure of law in favor of
protecting and preserving our migra-
tory wild birds. Many valuable spe-
cies have been for some time threaten
ed with extinction. The fifty zones
wherein the various wild bird laws
Of states are operative have been re-
duced to a North and South sim
ply on each side of the Ohio river
or it's latitude. The sportsmen will
find themselves restricted not so
much on the time limit, which is
averaged from all the states, as in
regard to the species OF wild fowl
to be reckoned legitimate prey
Cnnes, doves and wild pigeons are
legally placed beyond the power of
the gunner. A five years closed sea-
son is established in behalf of many
ghore birds and water fowl. An abso-
Lutte prohibition Is placed upon the
shooting of robins and larks and such
species as feed upon insects. There
is to be no spring shooting, no fir
ing at migratory birds between sun
set and sunrise anG hunting on the
rivers is confined to the last two
months of the year.
These regulations went into effect
October /. last. They are sequel
TO next legislative efforts made
against the slaughter of fine plumaged
birds for commercial purposes. Sports
men themselves should not complain
of these restrictions, for Il has be-
come clear that overmuch cunning

point therefore. the regulations in.
posed are a benefit. But on far high
or grounds than this. 1t Is most de-
sifable that our wild birds should be
preserved from extinction. Various
kinds of pretty birds formerly exist
ing along the Georgia coast and in
Florida have disappeared.
Those interested in this matter
have had a hard uphill fight for rec
ognition, yet thirty.two states have
enacted laws against the killing of
plumage birds, and in fourteen states
the feathers of native birds are con-
traband, All the states have some
game laws. 1t matters not, however.

sport or fashion. the practical result
is the same. Unless ruthless slaugh-
ter is effectually checked, the most

Of our wild birds win shortly be ex-

been grieyously REDUCED, and the dan

Many seem to imagine that bird

eaten. Surely the landscape is i'm

question that many water fowl and
other species are insect destroyers
