Preserving Bird Life.
The New York State Legislature has
made ii determined effort to remove one
temptation toward the destruction of bird
life, the use of birds for nilllinery decor-
ation. A bill has been passed marking it-
ii misdemeanor to sell or possess for sale
the pluiunge of wild birds or songsters.
No birds other than those for which
there is an open season can now be used
It is a characteristic of our neighbors that
when they legislate they are generally in
earnest, not merely eager to appease the
importunities of some troublesome agita-
tors. It looks as it the New York Legisla-
ture had determined to head oil' one of
t-hs greatest enemies, if not the greatest
enemy, to bird life. There are other en-
of attention here in Ontario as Well as
'in new New York. The small boy, with
his bird netting prosperlty,ie among
li most rsistcut causes of the de
be an exceptionally unfortunate season
for the birds. The foliage: has been
unusually late, and many nests have
been built in exposed places.\The us-
ual care with ,which a bird’s domestic
arrangements are hid from pryingfeyes
-has been impossible, and exposed nests
are temptiugly displayed. This will
make the work of the juvenile destroy-
ers easier and more complete. A great
improvement has been effected in this
matter by Bands of Mercy___and other
humane organizations, in making boys
aware of the pain and cruelty they in-
flict on the lower orders of creation-
