IS THERE, AFTER ALL, A MORE LOVABLE ANIMAL THAN A COW? 

 The traditional old woman who kissed a cow might have kissed something not so lovable. 

 Quaint old-time saying: "Everyone to his own taste as the old woman said when she kissed the cow."

Happy is the man w!ho has found 

 his work. There is only one happiness 

 in this little life of ours and that con- 

 sists in having work to do that one 

 cares to do, and the chance to do it in 

 such order and with such rewards as 

 make life reasonably pleasant, satis- 

 fying from the material side. There 

 are no pleasures in life equal to the 

 joy of the worker in his work when 

 he cares for it. Pleasures are at most 

 but passing incidents. The work is 

 what counts. — James J, Walsh, M. D.,

Senator McLean is a member of 

 The Agassiz Association, and an in- 

 spiration to all interested in the work. 

 We heartily concur in the good wishes 

 editorially extended to him by "Bird- 

 Lore." We also are proud of him be- 

 cause he is Senator from our home 

 state— CONNECTICUT. 



Ruskin tells the story of a race-horse 

 that took sick and only got well when 

 his pet kitten was telegraphed for and 

 put in his stall. He then won the race.
