 Mir. Baltimore Oriole is heer in full spring dress of brilliant reddish orange. He arrived couple of weeks ago from his winter spent in Mexico. No more handsome bird visits these attitudes. unless as some think the honors should go to the scarlet tani- ger. At sunrise or perhaps a little before, most pleasing to hear is his clear whistling song as he flashes through fruit and shade trees. In the days when birds egg collecting was in vogue the boy considered himself for tunate who located an orioles nest and more so if he could reach it. In one of the collections still in Jewett | City are two handsome oriole eggs taken from a nest in an elm that is still growing in the town. The nest was borne down in the dead of night | to within the reach of boy standing on a barrel Three other boys climbed the tree and slid down on the limb, I hanging on to each others bare feet. | The eggs are white, singularly scrawled with fine, distinct black lines 1 with maybe a spot or two of lighter l color.
 Mrs. Olive Thorn Miller has named I young orioles the cry-babies of the l bird world. Their .ceaseless calls for food and their capacity is astonishing. Long after they have left the nest one will find them in different trees about l the place, calling out monotonously and persistently, until one of the par ents arrives and momentarily fills 1 their mouths
