10 KNOW THE BIRDS.

Many people who cannot find time to go to the woods to know the birds by a little tact bring the birds to their homes.
 It is too late to plant flowers to lure them by their seeds; but it is not too late to put out in a safe and shady place large pan of fresh wa ter for them to drink or to bathe in.
 The fact that birds find these con- veniences and sources of food in back yards and on lawns shows what keen detectives they are of friendly human aid.
 Wherever a bit of ever fresh water can be established in 8 quiet place a great variety of birds win come to enjoy it because 1t saves themsas longer flight Convenience is appreciated by birds as well as by other creatures.
 There is no flower like the sun flower to attract native birds, and the birds of passage between now and September; and the cornhoEer is a goldfinch flower as really as the snap dragon is bumbfe-bee flower, or the retunia a moth flower.
 If you like birds try this.

STORIES OF THE WAR
How Women Distribute Supplies.

Taken from Peggy shippens in the Philadelphia Ledger:
 We were off early the next morn ing with an immense load for Crepy- en- Valois. then from that point to Pierrefopds, and further. to Cruise la-Motte, leaving supplies everywhere the director going ahead in his touring car.
 The roads are worn almost past the point of travel and there is now no time to mend them. The con gestion is beyond words and cannot be imagined by any one who has not seen theAe military roads. Thence we are told to go to place called Montigny, and we went the direct road, which was a most unfortunate fire; the control thinking that we were an ambulance did not stop us. I can assure you turned that car with alacrity and dispatch. quick ly started up another road, only to see those nasty black shells coming after us again. So we turned once more and made a wide circuit Fi- nally we got to the dugouts for which we were looking. These. are full of soldiers and such a nice Foyer" underground lighted by Cdl0lGS. we reserved WdTH wei 1 come, as we always do; but the col onel advised me, if we would not stay to dinner, which must entail re- turning in the dark, to leave at once, as the shelIing usually began about that time. Therefore, feeling that we had had about as much shelling as we could stand for one day. we started back.
 | But imagine that our truck must have been spotted for the last. shell sounded as though it had landed on our taiTboard. Mrs. Work was great. She never said a word, but looked too funny in her resolute expression, and I could not help laughing.
 We thought we would pass the night at Pierrefonds, and the Major de CantonnemeDt gave us the key of
 the hotel We found it quite nice and made ourselves comfortable Then we went up to the chateau
 where there is an American ambu-
 lance section and begged for seme | dinner, as we were famished. The
 boys were so nice and so glad to see US, and we dined and breakfast ed in the courtyard of that exquisite
 chateau. Next morning we went

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
About That Town Team.

Mir. Editor: I chanced to be near at broke all established precedents by discharging the town team.
 l happen to know that MT. German did not (do as many say he did) use rough language; he simply told the driver that his team must work nine hours a day in order that the town farm get ST for it. He most strenu- ously objected to paying a days pay to man and team for six hours work.
 One word brought on another until German sent the team off the road and told his men to go home until he could secure team that would give the taxpayers full value for their money
 There was no profanity, no abusive language, simply the man was asked to work not loaf; and, refusing to put in full nine hours, he was discharged
 NO other selectman ever dared to do such a thing has been heard quite often for a few days past. but that is | wrong. There was once a seiectmaI by the name of Briggs, Hon. B, R | Briggs, to be more accurate, who die l the same trick. Work or no pay was his order, just as in the case of MT German.
 Such deeds show why nearly Sot people use pencil at a town election l to write the name of man not nom mated on the republic and democrati, tickets.

Hot Weather Rules For Horses.

1. Load lightly, and dsive slowly.
 2. Stop in the shade if possible.
 8. Water your horse as often as possible. So long as horse is work ing, water in small quantities will not hurt him. But let him drink only a few swallows if he is going to stand still Do not fail to water him at night after he has eaten his hay.
 4. When he comes in after work, sponge off the harness marks and sweat, his eyes, his nose and, mouth, and the dock Wash his feet but not his legs.
 5. If the thermometer is 75 degrees or higher, wipe him all over with a damp sponge using vinegar water if possible. Do not wash the horse at night.
 6. Saturday night, give a, bran mash, lukewarm; and add table spoonful of saltpetre.
 z. Do not use a horse-hat, unless ii l is a canopy-top hat The ordinary bell-shaped hat does more harm than good.
 8. A sponge on top of the head, ol even a cloth, is good if Kept wet i dry it is worse than nothing. g. If the horse is overcome by heat 1 get him into the shade, remove har- ness and bridle wash out his mouth sponge him all over, shower his legs and give him two ounces of armah' l spirits of ammonia, or two ounces O sweet spirits of nitre, in a pint O water; or give him pint of coffe' warm. Cool his head at once, usin, cold water, or, if necessary, choppet ice, wrapped in a cloth.
 10. If the horse is of his feed, tT. him with two quarts of oats mike. with bran, and little water; and ad' a little salt or sugar. Or give hin oatmeal gruel or barley water to drink
 II. Watch your horse. If he stop sweating suddenly, or if he breathe short and quick, or if his ears droor or if he stands with his legs brace sideways, he is in danger of hea or sun stroke and needs attention a once.
 12. If it is so hot that the hors sweats in the stable at night, tie hir outside, with bedding under him. Un less he cools of during the night, h cannot well stand the next days heal
