THE MUSEUM. 



ceeded to examine the trees and in a 

 short time discovered a nest about 

 two-thirds of the way to the top of a 

 good sized pine. 



A few remarks in my loudest tone 

 of voice convinced a female Red- 

 shoulder that something was going on 

 below so she flew ofT to investigate. 



During her absence I ascended sev- 

 enty feet of as crooked a pine as I 

 ever saw and secured a handsomely 

 marked clutch of three slightly in- 

 cubated eggs. 



In collecting nearly all of my sets 

 of Red-shoulders as well as in the 

 case of B. bar calls I have found three 

 Hawks about the nest. I think the 

 third one can be accounted for by 

 adopting the supposition of a certain 

 well known member of the Hawk fam- 

 ily (J. M. W. by name) who I believe 

 first advanced the idea, founded of 

 course upon observation, that it was 

 a male of the preceding year's birth 

 and probably of the same nest. 



The nest of the triplet (not pair 

 hereafter) was quite abundantly 

 "feathered out" upon the side from 

 which the proprietor took her depart- 

 ure. Arthur M. Farmer,

THE EASTER YOUTH'S COMPANION.— 



The Youth's Comjianion, always good, has 

 a way of outdoing itself! The Easter J-)ouble 

 Number just received is an issue of rare excel- 

 lence. Its handsome and appropriate cover 

 is a fitting introduction to its contents. "Dor- 

 othy's Easter," and "A Corner in J]ggs," in 

 this number, are two Easter stories charming- 

 ly told, stories to be read and enjoyed by ev- 

 ery member of the family. "Tlie Story of a 

 Statue," by the Mar(|uis of Ijorne, pre])ared 

 for The C'ompanion in collaboration with the 

 Princess Louise, is an article of unusal inter- 

 est. "The Romance of a Shoal," an adven- 

 ture story by W. ('.ark Russell, is oue of the 

 best from the ])en of this noted writer. The 

 reader will find in this Easter Number of The 

 Companion a lich treat of the very best stor- 

 ies, i)oetry, practical information and miscel- 

 lany for which The Companion has become 

 famous the world over, and this numl)er alone 

 is well worth the cost of the paper for an en- 

 tire year.
