Making Friends with Birds.

Farmers are urged by the bureau of
biological survey of the United States
department of agriculture to make
friends with birds and to encourage them
to help in the destruction of insect pests.
Chief among the suggestions for obtain
ing the aid of these feathcred allies are
that trees and shrubs be planted along
the field divisions and that bird houses
be erected in which they may set up
spring housekeeping.
While the modern wire fence has en-
abled farmers to carry cultivation close
TO the boundaries of fields and has
brought a greater area under the plow,
it has not produced greater yield, ac-
cording to some authorities, because the
changes in fence construction entailed
the destruction of the nesting places of
birds among the brambleS. briers. berry
bushes and shrubs, and consequently tho
birds have not been attracted to help
| the farmer in the protection of his crops.
The numbers of bugs and parasites
| birds consume are amazing. Federal au-
| thorities have figures to back their con-
| tention that the maintenance of bird
houses and bird refuges is of great bene-
| fit to agricultural and fruit-gIawing
communities Aside from the question
| of economies the birds are pleasing
guests. rewarding their hosts with their
varicolored plumage and full-throated
! choruSes at morning and eventide.-New

During this visit he also visited Bos-

and when some one present asked him to
tell them truly what did his first wife
say when he took TO himself others, lac

Mr.. Whipple was an interesting talk

1.-THE crowning shame OF the world,
the Bishop said, "is that so many 60 to
church to get what they can out Of 1t,
instead of going to worship and put
what they can into it,
Bishop Rhinclander said there were
four essentials to worsbip-prayer,
ideal, beauty and holiness. AS to ideal
in prayer he said: Nothing in the
world is more fruitful than an ideal,
because it energizes aud give, color
to worship The speaker declared wor-
ship must have the, most beautiful form
that can be conceived In order to. at
tract worshipers. He said that worship
must be outwardly beautiful. but in
wardly holy, as holiness Is the prac-
tical business OF life. -.
God is not forcing the people under
rules and penalties to obey His doctrines,
but is continually watching their inner
lives to see what they do" Bishop
Rhinelander. said. Holiness 10 very
fruitful plant from which spring good
will to mauklnd, social service and
amity among nations" .
In concluding his address Bishop
Rhinelander praised the Rev. Mr.. Tel
sen, rector of st. Pauls, for his zeal In
the work Of canceling the debt on the
