SPRING THOUGHTS.

One is apt, unconsciously, to be-
come poetic about Spring. There is
so much about this season that par
takes Of revelation and awakening
that nobody except one without a
sense of religious touch can watch
the unfolding Of Spring and not be
moved in some magic way by the cir
cumstance. We have had some of the
springs raing-stormS in many in
stances. The ground has been moist
ed and the flowers are showing their
heads. Here and there harsh note
is struck, as departing winter strikes
back as If in revenge for his dethrone-
ment. The hillsideS are green with
verdure and the countryside is amaz-
ingly beautiful. Ii isn't very much
wonder that lot of people want TO
write poetry about Spring, even
though some Of it may be intolerable
One iswaccustomed TO want to express
his thoughts about his innermost feel
ings. And Spring strikes one beneath
! the surface. Some people dislike the
Spring because the battle of the ele-
ments excites fear. The best way u
/ look at this side Of the season is t.
reflect that whatever of cyclones, tor
nodoes, etc, Spring brings, it offers {
pretty and more alluring picture, to,
the sunshine and the flowers. w,

Onothologists inform Us that the
sparrow is a bird of high antiquity;
that it has always attached itself
closely to man, more so perhaps, than
any other bird or animal. IL was eul-
tivated and its numbers regulated by
the English farmer through sparrow
clubs, whence il obtained its familiar
appellation and is noted for its eX-
ltreme hardness, pugnaeity and pro
llifcness. For the purpose of destroy
ling insect pests il was imported from
Germany into the United States in
1869 and being fostered it readily in
creased until it became the most
abundant bird in the country and cas-
lily won in competition with our ma
tive birds, driving them from the hah-
itations of man. For this reason, to-
gether with the heavy toll it levied
upon the crops of the farmer and
market gardener, il soon became re
garded as noxious pest and its de-
struction demanded. Even the noteo
ornithologist, DR.. Coues, wrote an ex.

A MuItipl;cation Oddity.

If a person could put one cent in a
bank on the first day of a month; two
cents the next day, and four the next
each day doubling the amount de-
posted the preceding day-what
would be on deposit at the end of 81
DAYS? This is unique catch ques-
ton with which to perplex your
friends. Most persons in answering
the inquiry after few moments
though would unhesitatingly venture
$50 or even s70. The astounding ans
wer-now hold your breath--is exact
ly S21 ,474 ,S36.47. -,
This question requires some little
trouble and a considerable amount OF
paper to figure out but if you are al
all doubtful sit down and get to work
The question seems innocent enough
with regard to starting off the bank
account with one cent but the catcf
part of it lies in the rapid multipiica
ton and enormous figures at the enc
of the month. However it is a .ques
ton of how far some of US might gt
if we attempted TO start such banl
account.

BIRDS TO FIND PLENTY OF
HOMES ON TRIP NORTH

NEW YORK, April so. Birds
winging THEN way northward this
spring will find l75,000 new houses
built for them during the past year
by boys and girls who are members
of the $1,000 Junior Audubon clubs
scattered over the entire United
States and parts of Canada. These
youth are among the 100000 mem
bers of the organization planted in
kindergardens, y grammar schools and
among groups of young Americans by
the National Audubon society.
Each club memoer after paying ten
cents as an initiation fee, starts ac-
quiring knowledge Of the appearance
and habits of both songster and the
picture books and hikes to woodland
spots they learn to distinguish one
kind of bird from another by the kind
of feakhery clothes they wear, and
how also to tell them by their eggs,
their nests, and sometimes by their
chirps.
The migratory habits and the sing
ing qualities or lack of them in each
species form other phases of instruc-
ton. Game laws of state and of the
nation are explained, Dut none OF the
teachers or lecturers sent out by the
national organization ever says to
little Willie: "You must not kill the
pretty brides" Officials at the or
ganization's headquarters here de-
clare they are striving to conserve
bird life not by having more stringent
laws passed against hunters, but by
interesting children in the birds S,
that they lose all desire TO use then
in tests of Workmanship with sling
shots, air-guns or light rifles.
Careless hunters have found th'
club members uncomfortably observ
ant of those whom they suspect ar,
bagging more than the limit or shoot
ing out of season. Recently the as
sociation received letter from
hundred young volunteer game war
dens in his city exerting restrainin,
influence upon tricky hunters.
