USEFUL ON THE FAF BOBWHITE AND RUFFED GROL EAT MANY INSECTS. Every Effort Should Be Made to j ment Number of Birds by Protec Ing Them From Enemies and by Providing Good Nests. (By H. W. HENSHAW.) At the present time many kink, useful birds need direct interve in their behalf as never before. encroachments of civilization on t bered tracts and the methods modern intensive cultivation by stroying or restricting breed grounds of birds, tend to dimi their ranks. The number of .in pests, on the other hand, is all time increasing by leaps and bo through importations from a and by migration from adjoini tories.

Tw birds-quite unlike in appe similar:in that they befriend t er, are the bobwhite and ruffed. The former is known everyw tile clear whistle that sugg, name. The bobwhite is loved by dweller' In -the country and is -known to more hunters In. the, -States than any other game b. The Bobwhite.. Is no less appreciated .on the tal than in the field, and in nmany stat has unquestionably been hunted t closely. Fortunately it seems to practicable .to propagate the bird captivity, and much is to be hoped:f in this directicon. Half the food.of tl quail consists of weed seeds, almosi fourth of grain and about a tenth wild fruits. Although thus eati grain, the bird gets most of it. Tr< stubble. The beautiful ruffed grouse is fot in the northern two-thirds oft United States and in the forested pa of Canada. This, the famed drumn and finest game bird of the northi woods, is unusually wild and warya -under reasonable protection will wi stand the attacks of hunters. Mc over, when reduced in numbers, It !sponds to protection in a, gratifyi manner and has proved to be V adapted to propagation under artifk~ conditions. Wild fruits and brov make up the bulk of the vegeta food of this species. The most portant pests devoured by this bird the potato beetle, clover-root -wee the striped flea beetle, grape vine I beetle, May beetles, grasshopp4 cottor4 worms, army w'orms, cutwor the red-humped apple worm, and s fly larvae. While the economic record of miffed grouse Is commendable, It d not call for more stringent protect than is necessary to maintain the:a cies in reasonable numbers. Feeding Goslin!gs.

Only a PS earlier in the day a Chicago m , who had just got back from Eu- fO , had expressed his pleasure to Pi is Parsons, the room clerk, that th had got back to New York, be- nE e he could go ahead and lose his th key and not be charged for it, c eas at a hotel in Paris he had cc a that and found himself charged M 90 cents on his bill. Then when fO Robert Calfee of Cleveland, who cc ome on to New York with his g' er, handed over to Kilpatrick, fo 's mate on the morning watch, T to 1,272, which is a suite, and ere he had got it, everybody T to wonder how the key t.1 r ere. llobG, who appeared to be about twel4e years old, said that about five eeks ago he was with his mother in s ot Springs, Ark., and they had gone into a vacant lot to pick flowers. dark, metallic object lying on the g nd attracted his attention. It was t key with a tag on it. Scraping oft t dirt. he found the tag to bear a !gend just like those he was accus- 0 LJmed to see at the Waldorf-Astoria. He Was for sending it on by post, C but his mother told him soon they would be coming to New York and he could ihen deliver it in person. Theie is no record at the hotel which would Indicate who took away the key and lost it, or when it disappeared. Hundreds of keys are taken away from the hotel by visitors, some of which find their way back by mail, but the most of which have to be replaced. This is the first case on record at the hotel where the key of a $12 suite was ound in a field in Arkansas. 5LOTHES SAVED HIS LIFE!

Early Aids for Colds. &n ordinary cold can often be checked in the first stages by inducing a good perspiration, says Sister Jen le nings Goodley in "Common Sense Aids es in~ Illness." A glass of very hot ilk 0 drunk -after you are in bed, or the be juice of a lemon added to a tumbler. in of boiling water, will. often accomplish 'or this. A hot bath to which a little: is ammonia has been adde,d is another method. of A teaspoonful of ammoniated tinc ture of quinine taken three times a >mday helps to throw off a cold. A cough caused by a tickling throat can ud generally be stopped by drinking a e teaspoonful of glycerin added to a -s wineglassful of water. er The fumes of burnt camphor Inhaled rnl will dry up a running cold, I. e.,'place id a piece of camphor in a saucer, set hl- fire to it; after a minute or two re- breathe the fumee. g Difficult to Measure Altitude.. ell It is even more difficult to estimate ia1 height than distance, and when one se reads how once again the high rec e ord has been broken by some daring m-aviator, one is puzzled how to realize r-e what the figures or his record really ri mean. Well, at any rate, we have ea! the birds as a standard of compari son. Compared with Mr. Raynham's recent 15,000 feet, the common birds -of England are mere groundlings, for generally they fly at no greater height the than 300 feet. When migrating, how Js ever, they mount higher, though even to then the wild goose (the loftiest of pP them) sel<dom reaches 2,000 feet.
