The concerts to be given by the brass
and bagpipe sections of the famous
Kilties' band, from Canada, February IS
and 14. at thoExposltyon building, will be
the chief musical event among our Scotch
citizens this season. The street parade,
with the bagpipe players ,ln full blast,
adorned with their picturesque costumes.
In which the kilt Is the principal feature,
will be well worth seeing. The entire
band comes here with flattering recom

Another use for the music-producing
phonograph has been found by a Paris
dentist. When a patient is seated In hia
chair the dentist places the phonograph's
tubes to the ears and allows the Instru
ment to work for a little while. Then he
administers the anesthetic, and he flndd
tha,t the patient bocomfcs unconscious
much more quickly and easily and requires
less of the anesthetic than was formerly
the case. Not only that, but he can per
form the dental operation -without inter
ruption, and when the patient recovers
consciousness the after effects are slight,
compared with those which nearly al
ways presented themselves before the
phonograph had been numbered among

HOW TO ATTRACT BIRDS.
Tie Best "Way Is to Start tiy Offer
ing Them a Batn.
PORTLAND. Or.. Jan. 3L (To the Edi
tor.) In the essentials of life, the bird's
point of view differs not In the least from
our own; give him protection from his
enemies, a sheltered home, congenial en
vironment, and an abundance of food and
pure water, and we have solved the prob
lem of enticing the birds to become our
neighbors, and make their home in our
garden, orchard or blrdhouse.
In the Summer, nothing will attract so
many feathered visitors to your home as
a bathtub for the birds, raised out of the
reach of cats, and made of a shallow
pan, not over one and one-half Inches
deep, filled with fresh water dally. An
old stump, slightly hollowed out on the
top makes an ideal bathtub and drinking
fountain; If a pan is used. It should be
an old one, or one of a subdued color.
The ltd of a large brown earthenware
crock, such as is found In every house,
makes a good receptacle.
There are three or four varieties of
birds In Oregon that will nest about our
houses If we but provide suitable boxes
or homes for them, and ho,w Is the time
to make preparation, for soon the little
travelers will be coming back from the
tropics and Southern States, where they
nave "Wintered; and our little cabin must
be ready very early in the Spring, lest a
pair of hopeful feathered househunters
pass us by. unable to And lodgings.
Tho first to come are the bluebirds, soon
followed by the swallows, of which the
violet-green variety will readily take up
his abode In our birdbox. These are the
only two besides the pugnacious English
sparrow that seek- "houses to let" In the
city; but In more open places and In
the country Is also found the Parkman's
or house wren, tho cheeriest of the three,
and. an Indefatigable little singer.
Tha best method of preparing the bird
home .In the city for the violet-green swal
low or the bluebird Is to go to the garret
or the barn and there bore a hole one and
one-quarter Inches in diameter through
the wall, up under the eaves of the house;
next secure a box with a hinged lid, such
lid can be constructed, preferably of old,
weather-beaten boards, or else be covered
as a large, square cigar box. or other
convenient box, and also bore the Bam a
sized hole In the center of .the bottom.
Then fasten the box ,on the wall on the
inside of the house, so that the hole In the
box will exactly match the hole in the
walL and be directly in contact with It.
The hinged lid will later on give you the
opportunity of taking a peep ut the house
hold arrangements of your tenants, and
when the young are hatched you can
spend many an Interesting hour watching
the busy parents ieea ino ever-hungry
brood.
"When the above arrangement Is not
feasible, a similar box without the hinged
with pieces of bark. This can then be
fastened under the eaves of your house
or in a tree. Care should be taken to
have a weather-tight sloping roof over It,
and but a single compartment, as the bird
desires nothing so much as privacy dur
ing the nesting season.
After your tenants have left In the i all.
the old nesting material must be removed
from the box. as the bird prefers a fresh
nest each season.

FOOTBALL IN DINING-ROOM
Sorely So Mild a Diversion Is Un
objectionable. New York Evening Sun.
The strikes of the Chicago school chil
dren have been declared "off" for the
present, the approach of tho holidays hav
ing given an undue ascendency to the In
fluence of parents. Still, there Is an un
easy feeling among tho latter. They fear
that the strikes will be renewed at the
close of a decent Interval after the holi
days. If the young rascals will not stay
It will not be the success socially that It
will bo artistically. To art connoisseurs
it should be especially pleasing to bo
able to secure original work which has
not been cheapened by untold reproduc
tion. In all large Eastern cities the news
paper Illustrator's work is greatly ap
preciated, and their original drawings
much sought after.
The mott clever conceits in wash and
pen-and-ink are the result of their la
bor, and the eagerness to obtain these
studies Is largely responsible for the pop
ularity of thcaa displays. It Is also the
purpose In these pictorial displays to
demonstrate that much of the cleverest
work of the day Is done by artists of
whom the world knows practically noth
ing, and whoso finest effects are lost In
the aulckly forgotten columns of a dally
newspaper.
Newspaper illustrating has undergone a .
radical transformation within the last I
few years. An exhibition of this class of )
wom toaay uears conspicuous witness oi (
the change. In the forthcoming exhibl-1
tion not only will the work of the art i
staffs upon the various local papers be
seen, .but examples by. lax Newberry,

root and pull down the house. Do tho
boya need any permission to "romp"
on the carpets? We should say the great
demand of the hour was an Indestructible
carpet.
"Love Willie more than you love the
grass," says another leaguer. Surely not
a hard command to obey; but perhaps the
Chicago folks are more devoted to grass
than others are. "Make your back yard
attractive for Willie." continues the chil
dren's advocate; "let him have his friends
there." Sound and healthful, advice, if you
have a back yard and a Willie. Let him
looso there, and he will make It lively
whether you make It attractive or not.
We don't know how thickly settled Chi
cago, Is. In some places your confounded
neighbors make a great pother if you try
to make your back yard attractive to
Willie. Still, if tho neighbors don't Uko
his whoop, they can go hang. One of the
incidental advantages of a back yard Is
the opportunity which It gives to dlf-
He, no Judicious parent will be doubtful
as to his choice.
What checks and balances to the con
stitutional freedom of WHUe should be
maintained? Mrs. George M. Kaufman, of
the league. Is somewhat too conservative.
It Is' her opinion that "there Is such a
thing as an extreme. I would draw the
line on football In the dining-room."
Tet football In the dining-room Is "quite
Inciting." We can think of few simple
pleasures more enjoyable than a boys'
game of football In the dining-room, pro
vided tho dining-room Is not your own.
Mrs. Kaufman will not flml the boys dis
posed to Insist obstinately upon their
right to play football In the dining-room.
A game la the parlor might be even more
productive of happiness. It is only Just
to Mrs. Kaufman to give a little experi
ence of her own In Juvenile diversion:
"When dear Mis3 Lcfens was alive she
brought between 0 and 60 probation
children to my home once to enjoy a
fuse sound. And between grasa and Wil- ' quiet little party. I had springs In my
chairs until tho boys went home. They
thought the chairs were springboards, I
guess. They rode on them like a bareback
circus rider It was lots of fun for the
boys."-
Thls Is the practical method of teaching
children that chairs have springs. But
perhaps It is better to move the chairs
out of the dining-room before the foot
ball game begins. Judicious parents al
ways clear the decks before action.
Wo agree with Mrs. James Frake, of
the Chicago and West End Woman's Club,
that "people ought not be so careful of
their grass and ihelr homes, but more
careful of their children." Wo can't
agree with her when aha asserts that
"club women ought riot to recognize the
mother who docs not allow her son the
freedom of her home." The punishment
of such a mother should be sharp and "ter
rible, but not so cruel as that. What
would be' left In life for a Chicago "club
woman" whom other "club women" de
clined to recognize?
