that says, “Oh, I don’t know, I don’t 
think it will amount to much,’’ is never 
of much force. If you have no local 
pride, borrow some. 
Tue Breeze today rounds out a week 
of popularity and expressed appreciation 
‘such as it has never known before. 
Congratulations have been received by 
word, by letter and telephone on the 
splendid issue of last week; and, in a 
more substantial way, public approval 
has been shown by added subscriptions 
which have not ceased to pour in from 
every side. The Breeze management 
expected that its enterprise would receive 
favorable comment, but so wide and 
ready a response was not dreamed of. 
The Breeze wishes to thank its friends 
most heartily. 
It is also desired to remind present 
subscribers of the advantage of renewing 
their subscriptions before July 1. All 
new subscriptions or renewals for any 
number of years, (whether due _ this 
month or later), paid in advance before 
July 1 will be accepted at.the rate of $1 
ayear. All subscriptions or renewals 
received after that date will be at the rate 
of $2 a year. And, beginning with this 
issue, the Breeze sells at the newstands 
for five cents a copy. 
Tue activity of Ipswich in forming an 
organization of its representative men to 
appear and act for the town in all move- 
ments intended to benefit the locality, 
-should be an example to Manchester. 
Ipswich has just established sucha board, 
known as the Local Improvement Soc- 
iety, whicn is now seeking representa- 
tion on the Essex County Board of 
Trade and is keenly alive in its efforts 
for benefiting the town. If Manchester 
wishes tobe anything more than a sum- 
mer resort with no activities or industries 
to keepit alive in winter, it cannot do 
better than follow Ipswich’s lead. One 
of its first stéps should be to establish a 
large modern hotel, even if it is neces- 
sary to form acorporation to do it. Such 
a hotel is Manchester’s first and greatest 
need. 
As the country about the North Shore 
is not strictly a farming country, few 
farmers in this section can fairly take ad- 
vantage of the law recently passed per- 
mitting the shooting of deer found de- 
stroying crops. Quite a few of the 
animals, mostly young ones, have been 
seen in the woods about here and there 
have been some complaints of damage 
done. Farmers, however, should be 
slow to kill the animals, and should seek 
to save their crops by watchful care and 
good fence-building rather than with rifle 
and bullet. 
Wir Lucius Tuttle, its president, a 
summer resident at Magnolia, the Bos- 
ton & Maine railroad should see to it 
that a depot worthy of the place is built 
at that station. Thepresent depot has 
long been an eye-sore to the hundreds of 
summer patrons as well as the townspeo- 
ple. The time for a new depot could 
not be more opportune than now.

Have you ever noticed that a poor girl 
has to be awfully good looking to be pret- 
ty, anda rich girl has to be awfully 
homely to be ugly? Also that a poor 
man has to be awfully smart to be intelli- 
gent, anda rich man almost a_block- 
head to be ignorant?

The tennis girl goes out to play her 
nerve-producing game; the flippant girl 
goes out larking because her life’s too 
tame; the reading girl betakes herself in- 
to a world of books; the scheming girl 
tothe seaside goes to fish with artful 
hooks; the flirting girl goes anywhere 
she thinks there is a man; the Cressy girl 
to Paris, to buy a dress and fan; the 
beauty goes upon the stage to show her 
handsome looks; but the girl that gets 
the husband ,stays right at home—and 
cooks.

While it.is customary in America to 
express disgust and reprobation with a 
hiss, there are parts of the world where 
that sound means the utmost of | satisfac- 
tion and praise. In Japan it means de- 
light. A Japanese in greeting one, 
hisses. In West Africa the hiss denotes 
astonishment. In the New Hebrides 
they hiss before anything beautiful. The 
Basutos hiss in sign of cordial agreement. 
Among the Kabyles of northern Africa 
the hiss denotes satisfaction. In mills 
and factories where the machinery makes 
so much noise that spoken words cannot 
be heard, workmen hiss to one another 
to attract attention.

Birds Killed by Spraying of Trees. 
A large amount of circumstanial evi- 
dence seems to justify the assumption 
that birds are killed by spraying trees with 
arsenical insecticides for the purpose of 
killing insects. Last year many birds 
were found dead where trees were 
sprayed and the State Ornitholigist began 
an investigation to determine whether the 
birds were killed by spraying. The evi- 
dence secured was not conclusive enough 
to clear up the matter fully. It is now 
the season of spraying for the gypsy 
moth, brown tail moth and elm-leaf bee- 
tle. Dead birds usually may be found 
within two or three days after spraying 
has been done. 
All who are interested in bird life are 
requested to be on the watch for dead 
birds under or in the: vicinity of sprayed 
trees and to forward any found to FE. H. 
Forbush, State Ornithologist, Room 136, 
State House, Boston. It is proposed to 
have the birds’ bodies analyzed to learn 
if they have been poisoned by the spray- 
ing mixture.

MORNING IN THE HARBOR. 
Fresh and clear to the ocean 
Runs the winding river; 
And sea-birds in commotion 
New notes are sonnding, ever 
Known to the early riser. 
Calls of the wild-birds winging, 
Larks that are soaring high 
In sweetest notes are singing 
From out the morning sky; 
Free as the air they’re sailing 
Over the briny spray, 
Rising over the grayling, 
Down deep in the blue of the bay. 
Red is the sun on the water, 
And the moon, low in the west, 
Now dim in its last pale quarter, 
Droops to its day of rest.
