My first experience of the fearlessness of the California bird cam to at second hand, write a correspondent of Suburban Life. It also came near getting a maU boy Into trouble. After we were settled In a UtUe homo the said small boy went to school on hi bicycle, down a busy avenue, with street car running to and fro con-tantly. Before be had made the Journey many times the child came home one evening and said: -1 wish the birds would leave xne alone." "What blrdsr I asked. "Why, those little blackbird you aee around," he answered.

"When I'm riding to school they come down and try to peck my hat off." The child had always been a truthful child, but my faith In hi veracity was shaken. I gently expressed a doubt, but the boy backed up Ms assertion vehemently. They do It every morning," he persisted, and I had to let it go at that. Later on, in speaking of this particular breed of bird to A neighbor, the boy's statement was Justified. "Those little birds certainly are daring." said the neighbor.

"I've seen them try to take a piece of bread or cake from a child's hand and not such a small child, either. They don't seem to have the ordinary fear of mortals, probably because they are never molested here In the city." One morning, going out to the front door, I found a caller. He was a tiny fellow, riding a tricycle. "Hello!" he said. "Hello!" I answered.

"What's your name?" "Henry," was the reply. "I live over there," pointing to a house soma distance across a vacant lot, and on another street. "And what are you doing bo far away from home?" I asked. want my little sister's shoe. It's In your yard." "How did It get In our yard?" "A bird took it off my mamma's clothesline and brought it over." And sure enough a search of the yard disclosed the little white shoe, which the bird had pulled from the line and brought over to us.

The boy's I mother had seen th feathered thief. and watched it till It dropped Its booty in our -back yard. The tameness of th gulls at the sea shore 1 another source of wonder and delight When go to the beach we save the scraps of our luncheon and use them as a' coaxer for the gulls. Sitting on the sand, piece by piece the scraps are thrown around us. and by and by we have a circle of the beau tiful and graceful birds, all on the alert for another piece, but equally on the alert for the approach of any thing which might be called an en emy.

At last, when they have found out that no aggressive move Is made, the creatures will approach, almost within reach of our hands. On the piers where people are fishing, the gulls will sit In rows, waiting for a chance at discarded bait or fish. People, pass constantly to and fro near them, but they show no fear. Rules regarding their protection are yery strict, and perhaps this is why they have learned to be so fearless. In some localities In the city's -outskirts telephone and other wires will be covered for a block or more with small birds.

What they find to eat in the city is a problem, but they thrive. Some of them are beautiful songsters, and all seem to have cultivated a friendly and fearleBs disposition. When Women Were Knighted. It ia not at all well known that knighthood ha constantly been conferred upon women. Many English ladles received the accolade, and many mre were member of such knightly orders as the Garter and St John.

When Mary Cholmondeley, "the bold lady of Cheshire," waa knighted by Elizabeth for "her valiant address" on the Queen taking command at the threatened Invasion by Spain, did she know that a whole city of Spanish women, the gallant -women of Tortosa, had been knighted for saving that city from the Moors? Mary and Elizabeth had both been knighted at their coronation, but by the time Anne, the second Mary, and Victoria ascended the throne it had been quite forgotten that according to English law and use, a woman who filled a man's office acquired all Its privileges and wa immune from cone of Its duties.

A generation or so ago Good Friday waa to th many a any other dav. Not so today. Her In St. Johnsbury churche of every nam ar empha-Sliing the sacred season. So far so gool.

And rejoice. Now tr, view of this emphasis on th rart of oar "religious' citizens, may we venture to plead tVit all th public schools and th Academy closed? It Is very tn to many pupils such action would regarded as a present of a holiday, and not marktng a holy-day. Bat emphatically not to all. Xt would anyway put an "emphasis" a a solemn fact of history that Is appropriate In a professedly Christ-Ian community. would also go further clo also, and for th sam reason, our museum and library.

Saca action would do no harm to anybody bat would, we are confident, do good. Such suggested action places an "emphasis' on the day when th Saviour of the world wa eructfld! If think it appro-ptiat. and I certainly do. as Americans to observ Decoration Day. Fourth of July, and Bennington Day then aa Christians should place an emphasis on, Good Friday.

Anyway 1 make my appeal to "th powers that be." to th trustees of our schools, of our museum, our library. hop they will get busy! Vt th telephone for consultation! Let more generally mark the day! Yours very alncrly. ALFRED FOOLS ORINT. Monday tn Holy Week. 1913.
