A., Prince's Bay, N. Y.- -There are two English starlings that 
roost under the eaves of my barn every night. Would it be u 
charitable aCt to destrov them and give other birds a show, or 
will they become a use'ful bird like our robins, bluebirds, etc.? 
They seem to live in harmony with the English sparrows. Ans, 
Starlings are not reprrtcd to do any harm or to be quarrelsome 
with, other birds. On the other hand, they are very destructive 
of iniiirious insects. The starlings are firmly established about 
New York, and are attractive birds. We should not advise their 
destruction unless they develop bad traits.

The calendar for 1903 issued by Parker Brothers.. Meriden, 
Conn., bears portraits of famous shooters who have used Parker 
guns in keen and successful competition, and a summary of their
