Now that the summer season I ended
and you am at home aaiii. suppose you
make a mcntsl Inventory of the Inst
three month and see what you have
accomplished with
yourself acj life.
What did y
with your a
Vacation? Iid you
dd to your a:ore
of knowledge In any
way? IMd you lay
a foundation fur bet
tor health, better
work, greater use
fulness and greater
happiness?
Did you read any
thing of value and
did you think any
worth while
thought? Did you
leave the people with
wnom you associ
ated happier, more hopeful and more
ambltloua to emulate your example, and
Jld you add. In any way, to their respect
for human nature by the examples you
set themT
'mere are people who feel that they
re taking a vacation when they rut
and drink to excess and pea ell their
lelaure momenta In gossip and criticism.
Nothing could be more depressing to one
who has the Interests of humanity at
heart than to listen to the conversation
of bevies of smartly dressed men and
women on hotel verandaa In the summer
season. Idle gossip, malicious criticism,
trivial chatter prevail, as a rule, In such
ylscea.
Many a young woman's character lias
been torn to pieces and many an ugly, un
truthful scandal has been act afloat by
men and women at summer retort who
believe themselves to be good Christiana,
and who return home to be faithful at
tendants at some established church of
" Christ. There ore no many Interesting
subjects ! conversation to occupy our
tnlnda outside of the faults, fallings ntid
foibles of our fellow creatures. -
lefore you Co iriy on your summer
vacation next year It might be well to
plan out a little course of procedure, and
to make a few resolutions. First of all.
resolve that you will not enter into any
conversation which lowers the moral tone
of those who participate or who listen,
and that you will Indulge In no criticism
of anyone who la absent.
1 Then' resolve that you will use what
fact and (kill you possess to . cnanglng
the tenor of such conversation when you
find yourself In a company of ptopla
Intent upon gossip. It Is not a difficult
matter to lead Idle minds away from
Individual themes to one of universal
Interest.
A host In a private home( who had
grown tired of the rather aimless talk
of his family and guests at table,' sug
gested that each member tiring an Hem
of scientific or historical Interest to em
bellish the dinner hour. This sugges
tion was carried out and proved to be
a feature of great pleasure and profit
to all concerned.
Each member of the household did a
little ' careful reading tnroiifth the day
In the library and was enabled to In
troduce a toplo of general Interest dur
ing the repast. Their utintl were en-
rlched. memories strengthened and
knowledge Increased.
If one's happiness Is gained mainly
from a discussion of the weaknesses of
human nature this tendency can be In
dulged by reading history and scoring the
derelictions of people who have passed
from earth. It la much safer and leas
liable to provoke unpleasant results than
giving this proclivity rein with one's
personal acquaintances as the subjects
tinder discission. . . '
To build VP one's health by kreathlng
fresh air and eating pure food la not the
only object to be sought In a summer
vacation.
To avoid bad company, cheap habits of
conduct, unwholesome and unworthy
topics of conversation Is quite as im
portant as to avoid bad air In city offices.
There are scores of women who have
returned home from summer hotels de
claring they had a moat glorious season,
yet who have left behind them a trail of
Idle gnasip and meaningless chatter;
women who have done nothing to In
crease the respect for womankind, noth
ing which has cheered, helped, encour
aged or strengthened any human being
who came within their radius. Are you
one of these?

Vnleas a person has that quality, what

OAR RETT P. 8ERYISS.
One of the most remarkable Instltu
lone with which I am acquainted is the
National Association of Audubon socle-ties.
An Audubon so
ciety Is a society
of bird -lovers and
students of ornithol
ogy, I. e., of the
science of birds.
These societies all
bear the common
name of Audubon,
because of the- won
derful enthusiasm
which John James
Audubon aroused
country In America
for the study of
birds
Audubon was a genius who devoted his
life to picturing snd describing the birds
of this continent In eolers and In word',
so true to nature, and so beautiful, that
because of his books people's attention
was drawn to the birds. It sounds
strange, but It Is true, thst some of the
rtnest things in the world go unnoticed
until a book, or a picture, or an enthusi
astic description, attracts all eyes to
thein.
There Is now an Audubon society In
virtually every state in the union and
these are all combined for united action
in thn association of whloh I have spoken.
The object of this association Is the pro-
I tection of wild birds and animals. It has
its headquarters In New York and Its
agents all over the country, as far as It
Is able to obtain and maintain them.
It was founded upon voluntary ' sub
scriptions and endowments, and is mainly
deenent upon such for its continuance
nrd specially for its extension. it. is a
charitable Institution, expressing the
charity of man toward some of his less
rifted fellow crestures on the earth who
are at his mercy. Its Insplrer and the
collector and director of Its energies Is
Its secretary. Mr. T. Gilbert Pearson-
There Is, perhaps, no beneficent or
ganization In existence whloh spends so
smsll a proportion of Its Income upon
Itself and so great a proportion upon Its
wrork. Ninety-three per cent of all It
gets goes directly to the account of the
birds providing shelters, reservations
and sanctuaries for them, guarding them
against starvation, getting laws passed
In their behalf, making friends for them
by spreading knowledge of their ways.
habits, nature and needs, protecting them
against the consequences of human greed,
selfishness. Ignorance and the instinct
for slaughter.
If all the facts Were known to the
people of this country there would be
ten times as many Audubon societies as
now exist. AVhen the native birds of a
country are driven away, not only Is one
of ita greatest charms destroyed, but a
deadly blow is struck at its prosperity
The birds are the farmers' and the gar
deners' best friends.
The birds' great enemies are tbe plume
hunters, the marketmen and the Indis
criminate shooters. Every year the re
presentatives of the association have, to
combat. In one state or another, the ef
forts of those who are continually striv
ing to neutralise the protection afforded
to birds and other wild animals by the
game laws.
One of the hardest problems with which
the defenders of the birds have to dal
Is that of protecting them during their
seasonal migrations, when, of course.
they pass from Jurisdiction to Jurisdic
tion, where no community of law re
lating to them exists. The fogical rem
edy would bo a national law, applied
without regard to state boundaries. But
here difficulties abound.
The slaughterers are able to Invoke
politics, and thus hamper all the efforts
of the birds' friends. Last year the De
partment of Agriculture, after starting
an energetic enforcement of the federal
law for the protection of migratory birds.
receded from Its stand, under pressure.
the result being that all federal protec
tion was Withdrawn from bobolinks In
the states of New Jersey, Delaware snd
Pennsylvania I am assured that the
association will put all Its energy Into a
battle for the bobolinks during the com
ing year.
One of the chief branches of the work
of the Audubon societies is that relat
ing to the sea birds dwelling along both
coasts of America- Wardens are em
ployed whoso business It Is to see that
the birds are not disturbed and that their
eggs are not stolen at their principal
breeding colonies.
The chief nursery of the sea birds of
the Atlantic const, says Mr. Pearson, is
among the Islands off the coast of Maine.
Thlrly-flve of these Islands are occu
pied by breeding colonies. Including
various species of gulls, terns, herons.

Georgia and Florida. Their rookeries
are often situated in deep and tangled
swamps, yet but for human . protection
they would probably soon be extermin
ated or the sake of their beautiful
plumes. The claim frequently advanced
by the opponent of strict game laws
I hat there la no real danger of the ex
tinction of any species of bird, Is re
futed by the history of .such birds as

The other day I heard a man telling
about a gay little Jaunt he had taken
with his two sons, llo related the var

he said. "And it
was up to Friend

Nothing is more common than to bear
a man say of a boy who is about to
finish school that he doesn't know what

In. Such a speech Is a criminal confes

the man has never been Friend Father
to his son, he's never taken trouble to
get acquainted with him or to study his
tastes and aptitudes.
The chief reason that so many men do
not succeed In life is because their fath- '
