Why Bird Go South. '
"I once asked a confirmed old
bachelor," says Mr. Craig S,
Thomas in the New Idea Woman's
Magazine for November," why
ho did not marry, to which he re
plied 'I have gotten over wanting
to. ' Is there a tide in the affairs
of birds for a certain period in
the autumn which draws them
southward? And if the tall be
pleasant, as was tha; of 1904, and
they remain longer than usual,
does this tide of inclination pass
away and leave them stranded
with us for the winter? Or, when
they have stayed during a long,
pleasant autumn, do they reason
like the old man who said that it
would not pay tor bim 1o get false
teeth now, that his time was too
short?
"It is usually thought that the
determining lactor in the birds'
going or staying is not that ol
cold, but of food; and for -this
there is doubtless considerable
evidence. Yet, for the evidence
to be conclusive, it would need to
be shown that the food is lacking
when they go forth and leave us,
as well as present when they stay
throughout the year.
"In the autumn of 1904, in the
groves which skirt the rivers in
South Dakota, wild grapes were
unusually abundant. The autumn
was so long and dry thai they
cured upon the vines, and were
sweet, somewhat jvjicy, and very
palatable during the entire win
ter. In these groves I found com
panies of Wilson's bluebirds in
early January, when the mercury
stood between eight and ten de
grees below zero. The flickers
also were numerous, though it is
not uncommon for a few of them
to winter in the North."
In opposition to this fact, Mr.
Thomas notes that although ev
ery winter a goodly supply of
berries, seeds, buds, etc., remains
on the bushes, yet the robins,
thateat these, constantly migrate.
Mr. Thomas comes to the conclu
sion, therefore, that "there is o
migrating instinct which has its
season, just as there is a mating
instinct which has its season;
and if, owing to pleasant condi
tions, that season passen without
the birds being moved to go South,
they do not go at all."

THE FOUR AQES.
Sa Life doe, Always Hit doae and Alwayt

Here are man's four views of
time:
"You still have forty years to
live," said the guardian spirit to
the youth. '
"It is a long, long time," the
youth replied, "and 1 will do a
great deal before it is past."
"You have thirty years yet to
live," the guardian spirit said to
the still young man.
"Well, that is quite awhile,"
was the reply. "Probably 1 can
not do all I had intended, but I
will make quite a showing,"
"You have twenty years to
live," the spirit said to the mid
dle aged man.
"Only twenty ! Well, I suppose
I will have to do the best I can in
that length of time." 1 1 '
Por the last time the guardian
spirit appeared. "You yet have
ten years left," he said to the
rapidly aging man. -
The man sighed. "But ten
years," he whispered in reply.
"And what can one do in those
few days?"
And when the end bad come
the man looked backward and
moaned, "I am leaving it nearly
all undone !"
And so life goes, although
youth will not believe it, apd only
old age fully realizes that it is so.
