PLEA FOR EAGLES
Trapper DenounCes the Bounty
 Placed on Birds.
Incidentally He Criticizes the Present Tendency to Extirpation Of Wild
 Creatures of Our Country.

Next to the American Indian, the | most practical naturalist in the world is the modern packer. He lets nOth- ing get away. After the packer we should place the prOspectOr, hunter l or trapper who makes his living among wild creatures and is obliged to know their habits. It chances that there is just in hand a rugged and OutspOEen letter from one Of these latter practt- cal naturaliStS who never took de- gree except in the school of out Of doors. says a writer in the Saturday Evening Post. He writes from the heart of Alaska, far down the Yukon river, and makes Outspoken comment on the present tendency to the extir- patton of wild species by means Of bounties and the like.
 In his blunt speech he says that as for killing eagles at 90 cents head he is of the belief it would be better to put the bounty on the men who made the law.
 This practical naturalist has counted thirty-six dead caribou calves on the early spring bed grounds near his home He works where thousands of caribou calves are born each spring, lives among them and watches them. He says there were plenty of eagles about but that he never saw them eat anything but the calves they found already dead. He says they may kill some weak calves or those about to die, but so far as he has learned in his travels fin Alaska and Yukon ter ritory he has never seen any harm the eagle has done, although he has lived in that region for twenty-five years and is familiar with 1t from the Mac kenzie to the Boring sea and. from the Arctic ocean to Lynn canal.
 'I am not a saloon or rOadhOuse prospectOr." he says, ''but am in the hills 33O days out of the 365. am not a naturalist and have not much educa- tiOn, but if I couldn't make better conservation laws than some we have, d- if I wouldn't quit. l would like to have some of our lawmakers out In the hills for while and show them that since the killing off of the eagles there is nothing left to do the scaven- ger work. There is just as much sense in killing the scavengers in the cities"
 There are getting. to be good many men in this country who are weary of the sweeping and ghastly results of hysteria and who begin to hope for some horse. sense upStairS-a good many who would like to see this coun- try left alone for while the way AL mighty Providence constructed 1t.

Women's Halr Price Increases

The price given by hairdressers for wOmen's hair has increased enormous ly during the last l2 months. While some women in America and Britain sell their hair, the real trade in this commodity Is done in continental coun- tries. Peasant girls in France, Bel gium and Italy sell their hair at reg ular periods to dealers. This hair is mostly of the fair and black variety, while most golden hair Is obtained from Scandinavians.

Charity at Home.

pr. Thomas Crowther, the eloquent missionary, said at a Philadelphia mIs. sionary meeting:
 eve have been very generous to- ward devastated Belgium and France, but we should not forget that in our own country we have districts equally in need of help. Take the Kentucky mountains, for instance. I remember a sick old woman l once went 10 see on my mountain circuit. She was fin bed and I asked her how she felt.
 "'gerrlble bad, sir was her reply. My insdes is always a-comin' up though I've swallered over a pint Of buckshot to keep me liver down. "-- Detroit Free Press.

WIT FROM CHINA
Eastern Sense of HumOr Very
 Much Like Our Own.
Change in Human Nature Through the Centuries.

Although the Chinese may seem Seri | OuS, he is not without a genuine sense of humOr. His literature is highly seasoned with witticisms and humOr. l OuS situations. Unfortunately, brevity which is essentially the soul of wit of | his proverbs, is impaired in the trans latiOn into English. Also there is much of Chinese humOr, even that found in the books of the most famous writers, that is too broad for a literal translation. Nevertheless, human nature is, and has for thousand years, been funda- mentally the same. This is shown by the following epigrams, taken from the work of writer, u Shang Yin, who lived twelve hundred years ago in the Flowery kingdom. The trans latiOn from the Chinese was made by Mir. w. F. Mayors.
 The headings are the Chinese authors own:
 Conditions Out of Place. A poor Parsee.
 A sick physician.
 A fat bride.
 A teacher who does not know his letters.
 A graybeard given to flirting.
 What One Does Not DespIse. When one is hungry-coarse victu- aIS
 When one is on the tramp-the sor- rfest nag to ride.
 When one Is thirsty - cold rice water.
 Comparisons.
 A cOurtier-is like pumpkins, which grow best in the dark.
 A crOw-is like q fiddler, he makes music when he's hungry.
 judge-is like tiger, never moves but he does some injury.
 What 1t Is Better Not to Know. A fiddler had better not know music, or he will be thrown out of work. woman had better not know poet ry, or she will lose her reputation. A servant had better not know his letters. or he will get into trouble. A scholar had better not know any thing about handicrafts, or he will be held in contempt.
 Vexation.
 Sitting down to feast and feeling the stomach ache.
 Finding the bottle empty in the midst of a jolly night.
 Not being able to get rid of ones poor relations.
 Extreme Of UnpIeasantness. Blundering upon: matters which are tahOO in frinndIG houCo
 Meeting a creditor when one can't pay ones debts.
 Hearing drunken babble after one has become sober.
 Trlbulatlons. To invite distinguished guest, who fails to come to dinner.
 To have disagreeable fellow come on his own invitation.
 To be buttonhoIed by a drunken man.
 To have no money when things are cheap.
 To be seated opposite the man you hate. .... ......
 Growing FOTIies of the Age. Envy, hatred and malice. Invoking the gods when one is drunk.
 Women clacking about the streets. Mortgaging one's property.

Faulty Diet.

In an investigation of 227 diets sup, posed to be typically American, Prof. H. c. Sherman of Columbia university has found that only one was deficient in protein, while 37 were lacking in calcium. If each of the low-energy diets was increased to 5000 calories, none would. lack protein, but seven per cent would still have too little cal cium. The needed calcium carbonate or phosphate can best be supplied by foods rich in lime. Of these milk has the advantage of increasing the high grade proteins and providing the es- sential fat-soIuble vitamIne.
