Martin Leider of Boston is here to- day. . is is in Poor “Bob White. From many quarters come reports of the finding of guail coveys huddled in fence corners and other poor shelt- ers, frozen to death when weakened by lack of food. They have perished because the snow was too deep and lasted too long to enable them to find their usual winter sustenance, never more than meager. This is a result of severe weather which must sadden lovers of nature, for the plump, cheery little “Bob White” is one game bird that thrives on man’s cultivation of the soil and man’s occupation of the country. The territory in which quail live, in North America, has widened greatly with the coming of the white man’s plow and his grain flelds. The forests never did appeal to the most popular of American game birds. Quail shun the deep woods. They flourish in fields and orchards often close to the barns and houses of the farmers. The white man's way. of us- ing the earth makes it easier for “Bob ‘White” to find food, and that is the vital question with birds. Heat and cold are secondary, if they can get enough to eat. Some farmers have taken pains to feed the quail on their premises in winter. They will be glad, all through the spring and summer and fall, when -they hear and see the cheery little beneficlaries of their kindnesses.—Cleveland Leader. 5 Taint wooden pails and tubs with nlking, #lyoerin to prevent shri Mr. Perry saw smoke | | e conducted the t;nmkl lervleel.

Criticism of Public Men. No one who has given any candid attention to the subjeet will guestion that the men in congress, at ¢ head of the departments and om the bench, are as a whole more than fairly rep- resentative of the average character and ability of the peoplse. They are above the average or they would not as a rule be selected. Any one who has been brought Into contact with them to any considerauble extert knows that taken throughout they are a body of upright, conscientious, patriotic, well-meaning men, intending to do within limitations what they think best for the country, As a matter of fact, however, those chosen are good representatives, but no sooner are they in their seats than a hue and cry of depreciation and criticism begins, against congress es- pecially. It is seen in the press, and especially in reform journals and mag- azines, the writers of whose articies one must suppose from their tone are 80 superior mentally and morally to the sugjects of their animadversions that they belong to a distinet and higher race. Were they but in the place of the miserable imcompetent most of whose characters and motive. are at least opem to “susplcion, how vastly better off the country would be. The same sort of thing is heard among business men who oght to know bet- ter, and really do, il they stopped to think; it is also current in fashionable drawing rooms among their more less and ignorant habitues.—Clnotn< nati Engquirer.
