World Beating Path to
Door of Bird Paradise
Keeper of Aviary Makes Pets
of Rare Kinds.
Vancouver, B. C.—True to its pro
pensity for beating a path to the
doorway of the innovator, the world
is swinging from its wonted course
to reach the door of Charles E.
Jones, of Vancouver, whose bird
paradise is the only thing of its kind
in the world.
This unique aviary, where 50 va
rieties of small birds are raised
“by hand," is situated in a small
back yard, and the approaching vis
itor can hear the orchestra long be
fore he is able to see the musi
cians.
This to guide him to the spot
When Mr. Jones established his
aviary in 1930 he was returning to
an early love. He was born in Eng
land fifty-eight years ago, and as
a boy revealed his gifts as a natur
alist He used to amaze the grown
ups by keeping such groups at pets
as a magpie, a Jackdaw, a pair of
ptgeocva. a foa terrier, a Persian
cat and a Belgian hare all together

Today he numbers his feathered
friends in the hundreds. Besides
hosts of canaries, he has dozens of
varieties of native small birds, and
many importations.
All of the birds are quite fear
less. They swarm over Mr. Jones,
his three sons, his dog and visitors.
The robins tweak the lobe of your
ear when told to “ring the bell."
The meadow lark lies on his back
and uses his claws in a sham boxing
match with his master. The birds
pry open your lips with their beaks
to see if there are peanuts between
your teeth.

ant-aristocrat and wildest thing of
the pheasant tribe—eats nonchalant

The diamond sparrow, native of

native home he must be killed to be
seen at close range, lights on your
nose and peers impudently at you,
his head on one side. Mr. and Mrs.

worms for the family out of a pail

THE MINISTRY
OF SILENCE
Br
LEONARD A. BARRETT
There would be no great art, or
music, or literature without “the si
lences." In hours
of quiet Retire
ment come the
world’s greatest
inspirations. Rob-
e r t Browning
wrote a fine
phrase: “Stung
by the splendor
of a sudden
thought," —but
the mood which
woos the "sudden
thought" finds its
creative power
in solitude. So,
there can be no
truly great character without the
ministry of silence. Hours of de
tachment from ordinary duties.

W E CAME back from our visit
to Japan with a new philoso
phy about gardens, and ever so
many ideas we tucked away to try
out ourself.
The garden of a Japanese home is
as much a part of the house as are
the actual rooms. In fact the house
proper winds in and around several
small gardens and the walls of the
house slide back so that in fine
weather the rooms flow right into

in a private home just one or two
blink their welcome. In festive sea
son the narar lanterns are seen;
but we "madeVhe mistake of think
ing they could]be picked up any old
time. So instead of buying ours
when the stems were blossoming
with them, we waited till we were
ready to sail for home, then alas,
we hunted all over Tokyo before
we found a shop keeper who would
go to his warehouse and unpack
his holiday cases of lanterns.
When there is enough space, the
waterfall or fountain in Hie Japa

with enormous goldfish or some
times with turtles that cavort very
giddily considering that they are
turtles.

we become better acquainted with
ourselves. "Silence la the ecstatic
bliss of souls, that by Intelligence
converse ” Silence links us with t
infinite.
The reactions of silence, which
may vary in different persons, de
pend upon individual interpretation.
If great silences bring us nothing
but loneliness and despair, if no
hopeful and encouraging voice
speaks to us from the vast solitude
of space, if our introspection makes
us more rebellious and leaves us in
a state of self-pity, as it did Job of
old who after seven days of silence,
cursed the day in which he was
bom, then certainly we have erred
in our interpretation of the ministry
of silence. If we have allowed fear
to dominate our emotions and will,
then our thoughts have been cen
tered upon ourselves as victims and
not as victors.
