Gradually people are learning
that nature is inure enlightened

the subject mainly from the econo-

ers. Quite meek, timid birds are
supposed to eat fruit and seed.
.Birds are •trapped and shoe and

field mouse eats his full and says
philosophically "what fools •these

The truth is that birds feed main-
ly on mice and rats and insects.
That is to say, respectable birds
do; and Mr. Nash gives a list of
desirable and undesirable aequaint-
anees on the wing, with expellent
pictures of both. There have been

The Ren Not Mentioned. -
.fears ago in Ontario the hen was
quite a common bird. People used
to keep chickens and their eggs
were eaten by rich and poor. But
with the spread of civilization, the
hen lost her maternal instincts. She
ceased to lay eggs and this bird
is evidenly now extinct fill' no men-
tion is maede of it by Mr. Nash.
This seems a pity for the hen wag
a useful bird and eudowett with
many loveable qualities.. She was
an early riser. Her blithe song
could be heard in the farm yards
at dawn. A. simple feeder and
strict moralist, she could make al-
lowance for her husband's poligenr-
ous propensities. More conscien-
tious than the middleman, all her
eggs were new when laid. 'Thera is
not :a single case un record of a hen
laying a cold storage or pickled
egg. Somepeople thought that
every man ,should eat at least two
eggs for breakfast every day, This
was, of course, a relic of the an-
cient hen -worship of the Huns, a
superstition that expired under
pressure of modern economies.
None of these points are brought
ont by Itir. Nash, for he is dealing
with birds still to be found in the
Province.
Hens devoted themselves entire-
ly to domestic duties. They were
never known to work.- This trait
in their character is brought out
in the opening lines of Julius Cae-
sar:
"Hens, home yon idle creatures,

Heavy Slabs of Stone Six .Inches

Examples of the paving of Phi-
lippe -Auguste, King of France, to --
wards the end of the twelfth cen-
tury, have been brought to light by
excavations in the Rue St. Jacques,
close to the Sorbonne. In 1185 the
King complained of the unpleasant
and muddy approaches 'to his pal-
ace rear Notre Dame, and ordered
that all streets should be paved at
the expense of the residents. In
compliance with his order heavy
slabs of stone, three and one-half
feet square and six inches thick,
were laid down. The ones exca-
vated were found at a depth of se-
ven feet under the existing road-
bed, They have smooth bevelled
edges, and when fitted togetahee
make a oawseway over fourteen feet,
wide. They bear marks of the pas-
sage of chariot wheels about' four
inches wide, The atones are to he
