T really required a few days’ time to grasp, com- prehend and confirm that + N.J., about the wholesale slaughter of birds in their nests at night-time, among the maples that shade the fashionable strect named The Crescent. It was like a slander or a malicious joke when the news despatch told how, in response to complaints against the birds as a nuisance, an employee of the Shade Tree Com- mission with his double-barrelled shotgun was ordered to the scene, and “after the first shot many of the wealthy residents poured out of their homes to aid the man in the work by supplying lanterns and baskets to pick up the dead birds. After two hours they had gath- ered hundreds of birds from the street, while many more fell wound or dead in the underbrusi: at the roadside and on the lawns, It was like a ‘storm, as English starlings, robins, grackles, sparrows and blackbirds fell thickly.” The explicit and emphatic denial of this seemingly preposter-| port from Montelair, ous story, which everybody expected, was not fortheoming. Now a weak substitute for it appears tardily in a repudiation of the Shade Tree Commission’s responsibility, with the remark that the destruc tion of the birds by some other means than shooting would have been preferable. And the State Game Warden does not help matters much by expressing his opinion that “the killing of the birds was unnecessary, as they could have been frightened away by firing into the air.” Fashionable Montelair may have its attractions as a residential neighborhood, and it offers a splendid field for the work of the Audu- bon Society. Yet, evidently, the undesirable elements of the popu- lation there do not consist of birds solely. - ooo IS THE POSTAGE STAMP OUT OF DATE? ILLIONS of dollars are invested in collections of rare and disused postage stamps, and the number of incurable philatelists appears to be rather alarmingly on the increase. At the same time the printing presses of the United States Government, and of every other government on the face of the| earth, are at work turning out countless billions | more of the little stickers that make the mails go. Every one of | these stamps will have to be gummed upon a letter, card or parcel, and carried back and forth across the seas and up and down the continents—to what purpose? Merely to show that the sender has paid the freight. ould not this be certified in some less cumbrous and costly way? In other words, why not abolish the postage stamp? Tis man- vfacture costs money, and sticking it on cosis time, Affixing stamps | to one thousand letters takes an hour or more of somebody's time out of the day’s work. A large businese concern bas to hire a special lorical force just to stamp the outgoing mail. Experiments are already making to ascertain if it is practicable, | without prejudice to the interests of the post-office, to do away with} the gum stamp altogether. In Bavaria, Germany, for more than a year past, they have bee2 sending out large consignments of com- mercial mail matter with enly the postmark stamped on, end this by machine. A German inventor thinks he could vastly improve this system, on the plan of the gas or water meter—the letter being placed in a machine and stamped with a postmark which serves at the same time ae a receipt for the postage money, record of date, ete. Maybe s0. However, philatelists who may contemplate buying up large quantities of the current issues of stamps, in anticipation of their becoming obsolete and priceless, should be werned that some years will probably clapse before they can realize any profit on such an investment.

HARDCASTLE was an English country gentleman, who prided himself on being old-fashioned and on having no use for London customs. He had one daughter, Kate, a pretty girl, whom he forced to dress in plain brown homespun. His silly wife had a eon by & former marriage, a clownish, stupid youth named Tony Lumpkin, whom his mother spoiled and whom the rest ot the family detested. It had been arranged years before, between Mr. Hardcastle and his olé friend, Si: Charles Marlow, that the latter's son should one day marry Kate. The young people had never met. So Sir Charles wrote that he war ~ sending his son to the Hardcastle home to become acquainted with Kate and to woo her. Sir Charles alsc wrote that his son’s extreme bashfulness (es- pecially in the presence of women of his own class) might prove a drawback to the young man’s chances as a suitor. Young Marlow set out in a post-chaise from London for Hardoastle’: estate. With him was his friend Hastings, who was secretly engaged tc Hantcastie's niece, Miss Neville, whom Mrs, Hardcastle intended for Tony's bride. Tony and Miss Neville loathed each other, end had no intention of obey ing Mra, Hardcastle's wish, On the way to Hardcastle’s young Marlow and Hasting. —— ‘ar Curious chanced to meet Tony Lumpkin, and asked him where tht ( Blunder. nearest inn might be, as they wished to rest for the ntgit: before continuing their journey, them to Hardcastle’s house, sa: Thither went the travellers. » thinking he was Tony jokingly directe: Ing It was the best inn fo: Hardcastle greeted them warmty. > inn landiord, paid little attention to his welcome, bi: Though Marlow was different in the presence of his ed unspeakably the ordeal of having to talk to < celebrated beauty like Miss Hardcastle, yet among landlor¢s and barmalds lw was always as bold as brass.

St! sh f identity a secre in order to conquer his heart the more completely, For already she began tc return his love. But she now told him she was not a barmaid, ito jumped te the conclusion that she was 4 poor relation in the house, A few hours later Sir Charles arrived. He had come to see how his son’ courtship was faring. Young Marlow discovered the outrageous blunder he haa made in mistaking the place for castl he n inn. He apologized over and over to Hard n, in a frenzy of mortification at his own idlocy resolved to leave the house at once and never to re turn. He was especially horrified at the idea of meetin Hardeastie’s daughter after he had been ordering her father about like a servant. But he would not go before saying goodby to the li in love “I come to take leave,” he told Kate when they met, “nor did I till thi minute know the pain I feel at the separation. 1 have already trifled too tony with my heart.

He dropped on his knees before her. “poor relation" with whom he had so suddenly falle: At that moment Sir Charles and Mr. Hardcastle, who had been listening in wonder at so bashful a youth's ardor, came forward, On learning that the “poor relation” was really the famous beauty, 8 Hardcastle, poor Marlow almost collapsed, “Oh, curses on my noisy head, groaned. “T must begone.” But Hardcastle would not hear of this.
