F J -
Like most Americans Interested in
birds and books I know a good deal
about English birds as they appear in
books I know the lark of Shake
speare and Shelley and the Ettrick
Shepherd I know the inghtingale of
Milton and Keats I know Words
worths cuckoo I know mavis and
merlle singing in the merry green wood
of the old ballads I know Jenny Wren
and Cock Robin of the nursery books
Therefore I have always much desired
to hear the birds in real life and the
opportunity offered last June As I
could snatch but a few hours from a
very exacting round of pleasures and
duties it was necessary for me to be
with some companion who could Iden
tify both song and singer In Sir
Edward Grey a keen lover of outdoor
life In all Its phases and a delight
ful companion who knows the songs
and ways of English birds as very few
do know them I found the best pos
sible guide
We left London on the morning of
June 9 24 hours before I sailed from
Southampton Getting off the train at
Basingstoke we drove to the pretty
smiling valley of the Itchen Here
we tramped for three or four hours
then again drove this time to the edge
of the New Forest where we first
took tea at an inn and then tramped
through the forest to an inn on its oth
er side at Brockenhurst At the con
clusion of our walk my companion
made a list of the birds we had seen
putting an asterisk opposite those
which we had heard sing There were
41 of the former and 23 of the 1 tsr
as follows
Thrush Biackbird Lark Yellow
Hammer Robin Wren Golden
Crested Wren Goldflnch Greenfinch
Pied Wagtail Sparrow Dunnock
Hedge Accentor Missel Thrush
Starling Rook Jackdaw Black Cap
Garden Warbler Willow Warbler
Chiff Chaff Wood Warbler Tree
Creeper Reed Bunting Sedge War
bler Coot Water Hen Little Grebe
Dabchlck Tufted Duck Wood Pi
geon Stock Dove Turtle Dove Pee
wit Tit Coal Tit Cuckoo Night
jar Swallow Martin Swift Pheasant
Partridge
The bird that most Impressed me
on my walk was the blackbird I had
already heard nightingales in abun
dance near Lake Como and had also
listened to larks but I had never heard
either the blackbird the song thrush
or the black cap warbler and while I
knew all three were good singers
I did not know what really beau
tiful singers they were Blackbirds
were very abundant and they played a
prominent part in the chorus which we
heard throughout the day on every
hand though perhaps loudest the fol
lowing morning at dawn In its habits
and manners the blackbird strikingly
resembles our American robin and in
deed looks exactly like a robin with
a yellow bill and coal black plumage
It hops everywhere over the lawns
just as our robin does and it lives In
nests in the gardens in the same fash
Ion Its song has a general resem
blance to that of our robin but many
of the notes are far more musical
iore like those of our wood thrush
Indeed there were individuals among
those we heard certain of whose notes
eemed to me almost to equal in point
of melody the chimes of the wood
thrush and the highest possible praise
ror any song bird is to liken its song
to that of the wood thrush or hermit
thrush I certainly do not think that
the blackbird has received full justice
in the books I knew that it was a
singer but I really had no idea how
fine a singer he was I suppose one of
hi j troubles has been his name just
as with our own cat bird When he
appears in the ballads as the merle
bracketed with his cousin the mavis
the song thrush it is far easier to rec
ignize him as the master singer that
he is It Is a fine thing for England
to have such an asset of the country
side a bird so common so much in evi
dence so fearless and such a really
beautiful singer
was the black cap warbler To my
my ear its song seemed more musical
than that of the nightingale It was
astonishingly powerful for so small a
bird in volume and continuity it does
not come up to the songs of the
thrushes and of certain other birds
but In quality as an isolated bit of
melody it can hardly be surpassed
Among the minor singers the robin
was noticeable We all know this
pretty little bird from the books and
I was prepared to find him as friendly
and attractive as he proved to be but
I had not realized how well he sang
No Cause for Alarm
I have decided said the theatrical
manager to give you a trial Miss
Arlington Please be ready to begin
rehearsing Monday afternoon
Thank you so much But before we
go any further I must inform you that
I shall positively refuse to wear tights
or a gown that is cut low in the neck
Oh thats all right In the part
that Im going to give you you will
merely nave to stand behind a shed
and help to scream when the cyclone
strikes town

j It was not a loud song but very mu
sical and attractive and the bird la
said to sing practically all through the
year The song of the wren Inter
ested me much because lt was not In
the least like that of our bouse wrens
but on the contrary like that of our
winter wren The theme Is the same
as the winter wrens but the song did
not seem to me to be so brilliantly mu
sical as that of the tiny singer of the
north woods The sedge warbler sang
In the thick reeds a mocking ventrllo
quial lay which reminded me at times
of the less pronounced parts of our
yellow breasted chats song The
cuckoos cry was singularly attractive
and musical far more so than the
rolling many times repeated note of
our rain crow
Ten days later at Sagamore Hill I
was among my own birds and was
much interested as I listened to and
looked at them in remembering the
notes and actions of the birds I had
seen in England On the evening of
the Qrst day I sat in my rocking
chair on the broad veranda looking
across the sound towards the glory of
the sunset The thickly grassed hill
side sloped down in front of me to a
belt of forest from which rose the
golden leisurely chiming of the wood
thrushes chanting their vespers
through the still air came the warble
of vireo and tanager and after night
fall we heard the flight song of an
oven bird from the same belt of tim
ber Overhead an oriole sang in the
weeping elm now and then breaking
hV song to scold like an overgrown
wren Song sparrows and cat birds
sang in the shrubbery one robin had
built its nest ever the front and one
ver the back door and there was a
chippys nest in the wisteria vine by
the porch During the next 24 hours I
saw and heard either right around the
house or while walking down to bathe
through the woods the following 42
birds
Little Green Heron Quail Red Tail
ed Hawk Yellow Billed Cuckoo
Kingfisher Flicker Hummingbird
Swift Meadow Lark Red Winged
Blackbird Sharp Tailed Finch Song

I sent the companion of my English
walk John Burroughs Birds and
Poets John Burroughs life work Is
beginning to have its full effect in
many different lines When he first
wrote there were few men of letters
in our country who knew nature at
first hand Now there are many who
delight In our birds who know their
songs who keenly love all that belongs
to out-of-doors life For instance Mad
ison Cawein and Ernest McGaffy have
for a number of years written of our
woods and fields of the birds and the
flowers as only those can write who
join to love of nature the gift of ob
servation and the gift of description
Mr Cawein is a Kentuckian and an
other Kentuckian Miss Julia Stockton
Dinsmore in the little volume of
poems which she has just published
includes many which describe with
beauty and charm the sights and
sounds so dear to all of us who
know American country life MIfs
Dinsmore knows Kentucky and the
gulf coast of Louisiana and the great
plains of North Dakota and she knows
also the regions that lie outside of
what can be seen with material vision
For years in our family we have had
some of her poems in the scrap book
cut from newspapers when we knew
nothing about her except the initials
I signed in the verses Only one whe
sees with the eyes of the spirit as well
The most musical singer we heard as the eyes of the body could have
written the Threnody curiously at
tractive in its simplicity and pathos
with which the little book opens It
contains many poems that make a sim
ilar appeal The writer knows blue
bird and robin redbird and field lark
and whippoorwill just as she knows
southern rivers and western plains
she knows rushing winds and running
waters and the sights and sounds ol
lonely places and moreover she
knows and almost tells those hidder
things of the heart which never find
complete utterance

LONDON BANK CLERKS
Their Dress and Mode of Living a Cen
tury Ago
A hundred years ago the number oi
bank clerks in Loudon must have been
lncouslderable The old bunks ueeded
only small stnlTs Quite late In the
eighteenth century one of the bluest
conducted its business with two clerks
The engagement of a third created
great excitement Ills arrival was still
more exciting for we are assured that
lie wore a long Hupped coat with
large pockets the sleeves had broad
cuffs with three large buttons some
what like the coats worn by Green
wich pensioners an embroidered waist
coat reaching nearly down to hla
knees with an enormous bouquet in
the buttonhole a cocked lint powdered
hair with pigtail and bngwlg and
gold headed cane This no doubt
was something of a peacock even fot
his time A few years later In tin
early part of the nineteenth century
the correct official garb was knee
breeches silk stockings shoes with
silver buckles nntl often a white tie
One can scarcely Imagine a dress more
suggestive of sober opulence
But it does not seem that according
to our ideas the manner of life was
quite in harmony with this impressive
appearance Not for the bank clerk of
the early eighteen hundreds the Im
maculately cleau and elaborately fitted
restaurants of the modern city Not
for him tea shops with varieties of
harmless drinks and tempting light
food If lie wanted a meal he went to
the butcher and bought himself a chop
or steak for fivepence halfpenny oi
sixpence This he carried himself tc
an adjacent public house where thej
cooked it for a penny The public
house in fact played no small part in
his life
Is it not a tradition that the clearing
house has grown from the meetings of
clerks in a tavern where they met for
the purpose of settling up accounts

RARE WILD BEASTS
The Kadiak Bear and the Tufted Ear
Rhinoceros
There are a number of beasts speci
mens of which are ardently desired
not only by the zoological gardens of
the world but by the professional me
lingeries as well Among these may
be mentioned the Kadiak bear an ex
tremely rare animal and one calculat
ed to make a Roeky mountain grizzly
appear insignificant
South America contains a prize In
the form of a species of jaguar never
held in captivity This jaguar is of
tremendous size and coal black
There are two rare birds in the Ama
zon forests whereof no specimens have
ever been brought away the bell
bird and the lost soul These naiueb
are derived from the effects produced
by the cries of the birds the former
having a voice likened to that of a sil
ver bell and the latter possessing the
eerie accompaniment of crooning in
such a manner as to produce goose
flesh on the unfortunate person who
hears Its song
The naturalists will also vote an ex
pression of heartfelt thanks to the in
dividual who will fetch them from far
off Burma a specimen of a rhinoceros
having a black hide and big tufted
ears No one has ever actually seen
this rhinoceros but it is averred white
men have frequently seen his hide
New Zealand is a land of animal mys
teries The most popular of the rare
beasts whereof specimens are longed
for by the civilized world is a kind of
duck billed beast No one seems cer
tain what it should be called Darwin
it is added was always of the opinion
that some day a true lizard bird i t
not a flying lizard but a true missing
link between the birds and the reptiles
might be found in New Zealand

Tin catalpa tree is the slouch of the
forest It has a brief season of beau
ty but this outburst of charm is so ex
ceedingly ephemeral when compared
with ihi long weeks and months when
it sei s to lie fairly reveling in litter
that thi wonder is its presence is toler
ated to tin extent it has been in years
gone b We believe it was Lord By
ron wim oii e indulged in a few rhap
sodical utteranres over the catalpa
blossoms bur it is safe to say he never
had to i lean up a yard which was mar
red by the presence of one or more of
the trees or the sentiments expressed
would have been in other than poetic

European Tattooers
Tattooing is not by any means con
fined to savage peoples There are
races in Europe which make it a regu
Iar practice and men women and chil
dren bear on their bodies orua menta
tions that are as ornate and queer al
though not as extensive as are mark
ings on the bodies of the south sea
savages These European tattooers
are among the Albanians and Bos
nians who live in the famous Balkan
peninsula
