If was some liftren years ago, Mrs. Miller and not long after her removal I'roni Chicago to IJrotiklyn, that i she ilrst began writing about birds.

She continued to go to Prospect park and study the thrushes for two years. Then she thought she would write about them.

She had never written anything before that except for had written a book, "Little Folks in Feathers aud Fur." That book was compiled; it was not composed of her own observations, but written up from different authorities. When Mrs. Miller finished her article on tho wood thrush she sent it to the 'There are no Knglish sparrows in Colorado; 1 didn't see one.

She adds the caution that since Prussian blue is decomposed alkali in such a manner that its iron can fix itself into the cloth as iron-rust, unusual care must be taken in rinsing tho soap from the clothes before putting them into blueing water.

Mrs. Miller described one of the latter with considerable amusement, "I was stayJD-r last summer," she said, "in a boarding house in Choycuno canyon, Colorado.

I made hasty preparation and started lo catch the train, with only oni- thought in my ffet awav.

She found that there arc not so many birds in Colorado as in the east, and those that arc there are very shy, but they were new to her, and on this account extremely interesting. "My first trip to Colorado was about two years ajfo," said Mrs. Miller. "I boarded in Choyeune canyon at a very quiet little plnco. called Camp Harding-, a collection of tents and small houses.

It is delightful and beautiful spot. I enjoyed tho climate, tho air and the mountains extremely. Tho na it summer I went to Utah In my search for now birds. arrived at Salt Lake City, obtained board at a little cottage on tho shores of the Salt lake, and tried to study the birds. I did not like Utah as well as climate was too warm for me, winds troublesome and tho birds fully a railo away from tho house and very shy.

Thcro were no groves where I could go to study tho birds as I should have liked to, and altogether I had a very miserable time for about six weeks. So at last I went back to Colorado and spent tho rest ol tho summer the In regard to her no 1 book ulrs. Miller said: "My book is a western is on Utah, Colorado and partly on summer in Ohio. Soma of the that I found very In- tuke notes right on the spot und never teave anything' to my I should forjjot and con-fuse- things. When I ffet back to tho house I spend my evening's writing out as fully as possible the notes which I have taken.

"It has often occurred to me that if I conld do as the hunter does, and malic a shelter and hide from tho birds, I could see and learn great deal more than 1 do, i take much pains to po among- them alone and wear clothing as nciir the color of the woods as possible. Still, they are not as tree before me as if they could not see me. Some of tlie most interesting- studies I havo made have been through the window blinds of my room. When tho blinds were slr.it could make, much more satisfactory studies, as the birds could not see me. It would be very niec to have a little house in some good 'birdy' place where-1 could watch them unobserved.

"I have been very much pleased in mv lectures this winter to find how interested the boys are in birds and bird life. I aim to interest boys in the bird's life rather than in the nests, tlio egg's and bird skins. 'This year I have done considerable lecturing and intend to do a great deal lectures and in schools. The thing 1 do is to teach boys to know our own birds. I have mounted specimens (u-hich I did not have killed specially for me, but obtain at tho taxidermist's) of every kind of bird I describe, so that those to whom I lecture may know the different birds by sight its well as by name.

This gives scholars a good idea of the bird aud its life. "One point I wish to mention is tho terrible destruction of birds, not only for ladies' bonnets, but as the victims of small boys. 1 thiuk tho small boys destroy uiore birds tiinn any other one cause, not only in stealing their eggs, but aiming at. them just to soe if they can hit them. 1 am astonished in deal- MBB.

They tell mo tho most cruel tilings about birds, as if it were a good joke. They haven't tho slightest feeling about the harm they do the bird. I think that boys should be taught that birds bavo a right to live.

It is often due to tho carelessness of boy's instructors that ho does this sort of thing-. I know boys who are just as boyish and just as manly as roan can be, who would not hurt tho birds. I met a boy in Ohio, whoso father wa i a naturalist, and this boy's father ta.ig-ht him from the cradle up to notice birds and insects. He no more thought of touching an egg 1 than I did. This was simply because he was trained from a to be interested in the Ufa too expensive for the entire wash.

We shall also have a small bottle of sugar of lead for fixing the colors in i doubtful prints and muslins; one tea', spoonful to a pail of water. This leads to tiio removal of spots and stains from clothing, and bore we tread on ground where we would like to have the chemist as our leader. It is in -fact the dyer's art we are practicing. in however bungling a both when wo fix the fruit, grass or ink- stain iu the fabric and when with tho chemicals at our command we attempt their removal. We are not to forget, in the first place, that we cannot sh ut up in the laundry cupboard our best solvents, heat and light.

Hot water alone is a wonderful agent. The sun's rays shining on clen-n country snow or grass plot are unequaled bleachers. We have in this bleaching a true chemical process a burning or oxidation, though wi.thout llmno.

This power we utilize when we lay the tiina-yellptvod garment on the grass, or aid with direct sunlight the action of the chemical that we apply a stain. Jt is well also to remember that many stains can be mechanically dislodged.

With llliii of Bnok The man had answered an "agents wanted" notice in person, and when he found it was to sell a book he backed away. "Why don't you want it?" asked the chief.

"You can do well with it." "No, I can't," ho replied firmly. "I've got gall enough and know how to talk, but not for books. I've lost my nerve in that line.

She dresses her children, having in mind a little suggestion or thought which he may have dropped days, yes, even months ago. His uolgr becomes her color, his her taste. And even if she does not always personally approve of a certain thing she buys it or she does it because she feels or thinks it will please him.
