and vines bearing fruit relished by
birds are great attractions In their
season.
Birds are desirable about premises
not only on account of their beauty
and song, but because of their eco
nOmic worth, according to the United
States bureau of biological survey.
They are especially useful as insect
destroyers during the breeding Period,
when they have to work early and late
to obtain sufficient food for their
nestlings, and their movements at this
time are more interesting than during
any other season. There is therefore,
double purpose In Offering them spe,
cial nesting facilities. II mud is avail.
able, swallows, robins and phoebes Will
found and wall their nests with II. II
we put out feathers, bits of wool or
twine, a dozen different kinds of birds
will make use Of them. If we furnish
safe retreats In which they can rear
their young comfortably, most Of them
will be occupied. In fact, no attrac-
ton for summer birds is more effec-
tual than q series OF houses suited to
the needs and habits of the various
kinds Of house birds.
A few years ago only four species
were commonly regarded as house
birds-the house wren, the bluebird,
the tree swallow and the martin. Since
the movement to protect birds and
make neiChbors OF them bepan how
ever. their natures and needs have be-
come better understood. and Il Is now
known that many other species will
avail themselves of houses construct
ed for them by their human friends.
The practice of erecting birdhouses
In this country. while now nation
wide, is not so common and uniformly
distributed as 1t should be- and more
extended provisions of this nature
cannot fail to result In a largely In
creased number of house birds.

QUESTIONS TO DETERMINE BE.
FORE BUILDING HOUSES.

Before erecting birdhouses one
should first determine the kind of
birds to which his premises are adapt
ed. The question usually next aris-
ing is as to the number of birds that
can be accommodated. Unless grounds
are large, 1t is generally useless to ex-
pect as tenants more than a pair of
each species, except martins, accord
ing to the United States Biological
survey. However, the singular intOl-
erance shown by most birds during the
breeding season to others OF their
kind does not operate between those
of different species. A dozen differ
ent kinds of birds will pursue their
several modes of hunting and raise
their families on the same bot, but
rarely two Of the same sort OF all
our native house birds, martins alone
are sociable.
Birds Are Tolerant.
The fact that birds are more toll
Grant toward strangers than toward
relatives was well illustrated by an
pDoCA NoNAOh ACNChGJ III ANCh
Mexico. A one-story Toulouse ten
feet square had nailed to three cor
ners of its roof rough birdhouses made
from packing boxes. One was occu-
pied by violet-green swallows, another
by western bluebirds, and the third
by English sparrows. A still more re-
markable association of different spe-
cies has been reported by a resident
Of st. Louis, Mo-, who once had a
pair each Of flickers, martins, house
wrens and English sparrows nesting
in the same house.
The fact that there is a limit to the
possible bird population on any given
tract must be taken into consideration.
When the probable tenants have been
decided upon, the selection of sites is
in order, for the site often decides the

FINDS HER LONG-LOST CHILD
Search of Twelve Years Rewarded and
Mother Gets Writ to Compel Return
Of the Girl lntrusted to Family.

New Haven.--Mrs. Florence Pedmore
Of Hartford, Conn, found in n high
school at New Haven her fifteen-year-
old daughter, Dorothy, whom she lost
twelve years ago and for whom she
kept up continuous search since. Her
search led her through Philadelphia,
over the mountains of Pennsylvania,
as far west as Chicago and to parts
of Connecticut.
Mrs. Pedmore said she resided in
Philadelphia twelve years ago when
she paid a visit to her mother in Pitts
burgh, and for so doing her husband
deserted her. The Brickleys lived in
the latter city and she allowed her
child to live with them. Suddenly they
moved away and she was unable to
locate them.
Recently she received letter from
New Haven, Conn.,, saying her daugh-
ter was in Pennsylvania town. She
hunted the writer of the letter instead
and found the Brickley family in New
Haven. Mrs. Pedmore is hairdresser
and says she is able to support Doro-
thy and give her a good education.

A Great Discovery
(BY J. H. WATSON, M. %

Swollen hands, ankles, feet are due to
dropsical condition, often caused by
disordered kidneys. Naturally when the
kidneys are deranged the blood is filed
with poisonous waste matter, which set
ties in the feet, ankles and wrists; or
under the eyes In bag-like formations.

nized symptoms of Inflammation caused

style of house that is to occupy 1t. In
the final placing of birdhouses, care
should be taken TO have them face
away from the winds prevailing in
stormy weather. The strongly devel-
Oped homing instincts of birds can be
relied on TO attach them TO the neigh
borhood where they first saw the light,
and the identical pairs which nest in
the house provided for them one year
will often return the next season to
enjoy the same bounty and protection.
Location of Houses.
The location of birdhouse or food
shelter has much to do with its sue
cess, for the reason that birds have
decided notions as to proper sur
roundings for a dwelling. Martins
prefer to breed near houses, but not
within 20 feet of trees or buildings.
Bluebirds are inclined TO select or
chards or pastures having scattered
trees. Wrens, thrashers and catbirds
live in thick shrubbery. Robins like
trees with sturdy trunks and branches.
Titmice, nuthatches and most OF the
woodpeckers are woodland species, al
though fiickers and red-headed wood
peckers are more at home among the
scattered trees of roadsldes and pas
lures. Song sparrows frequent weedy
swales and brush fences. Swallows
do not enter woods, so that a house
would be as attractive to them in one
open place as another. The eastern
phoebe, the black phoebe and the
house finch, while not limited to the
haunts of man. are noticeably partial.
to them. Crested flycatchers, screechl
owls, barn owls and sparrow hawks
are governed more by convenience
than by taste; although normally in
clined to hold aloof from man. they
have In many instances reared their
broods in close proximity to dwellings.
Barn owls, true to their name, accept
without hesitation suitable quarters in
buildings.
