NORTH SHORE BREEZE- 
INTERESTING Work On Birbs. 
Two copies of a, work entitled “A 
History of the Game Birds, Wild- 
Fowl and Shore Birds, of Massachu- 
sett and Adjacent States” has just 
been received by the Public Library. 
This work is issued by the Massachu- 
sett State Board of Agriculture. It 
is divided into three parts. ‘The first 
part gives a history of the Game 
Birds hunted for sport in the State 
at the present time. The second 
gives a history of the species that have 
become extinct or have been exter- 
minated. Part three treats of the 
conservation of the Game Birds of 
our State. It may be a surprise to 
some to know that, in Colonial times, 
this country contained more Game 
Birds than any other country of the 
same size. Higginson (1630) says: 
“Fowls of the aire are plentifull here 
Pvt Here are likewise aboundance 
of Turkies often killed in the woods. 
....1n winter time this countrey 
doth abound’ with wild Geese, wild 
Duckes, and other Sea Fowle, that a 
great part of the winter the planters 
haue eaten nothing but roastmeat of 
divers fowles which they haue killed.” 
In the early history of the State, 
there were about seventy species of 
web-footed wild fowl. 
This work tells how some of these 
have became extinct, while others 
have been exterminated by various 
causes. It also tells of other species 
that, though still with us, are be- 
coming very scarce. It likewise sug- 
gests ways and means of protecting 
these birds. The history is well 
written and makes very entertaining 
reading and at the same time, gives a 
.great deal of useful information. 
Almost everything that sportsmen 
might wish to find out about the 
game birds of this state may be found 
in this volume. ibd BR

From the people in the car the cry 
went up: 
“A woman has fallen in a faint!” 
The conductor paled. 
“Heavens!” he exclaimed. “What 
will the company say when they learn 
she had room to fall?” 
Then he burst into tears, for he 
had a family to keep and sorely need- 
ed his. job. 
If every man is really looking for 
that “sweet, old-fashioned, modest 
violet” sort of a wife some of them 
certainly select queer places in which 
to do their searching. 
We respect a good poet; we rever- 
ence a good cook.
