There is an lmfhense amount ef pleas ure to be gotten out of Just one cherry tree in full bloom. If you are skeptical about it, alt down In an upper window hidden by one of theae wonders wonders none the less be cause they are as plentiful and get Into sympathy with it and you'll find a sense of rest and sweet satisfaction that comes from wordless 'communica tion with that tree, Just aa real aa any pleasure you ever found in the society of a loved friend; 'for trees no leas than animals have a personality and a consciousness of their own, different in kind, no doubt, very greatly from ours, though the more we associate with them the more understandable do they become. Tou may not be able to see bow far tbe roots have atretched down into the earth nor how the bole has grown in the year, but if yon look; up at the tip top you will be able to meaaure the added height of the tree in the tender new hoots that eannot yet be Intrusted with the business of blooming and bear ing fruit, - - r .- There they stand, sometime a foot or more above the bloom level with only the delicate green leaves upon -them, reaching up and ever upward toward their god, the sun. . But aa you begin to find a new world of beauty in that mase of intersecting boughs bearing the fair white promise of coming fruit, you observe they serve another purpose the bees are plying their trade busily among the blossoms. Doubtless they are Quite as confident cherry trees were made expreealy for them aa we are that the "lower animals" exist for our convenience. A very par donable error on their part since they find the. onething they are searching for in prodigal . abundance in Its branches. How businesslike these little laborers are. and with what -contempt they must look upon the great, blundering yellow backed bumble-bee. It takes him about twice aa long to burglarise one bloasom aa it doea the honey-bee and the stems sway tremulously under hia weight. . Then another tiny marauder eomea to divide the spoil with the been the hum ming bird. Is there in all the world so -dainty, so wonderful an embodiment Of the great mystery we call life, as tblsT . With Incredible swiftness big bill drains a cup of honey, while with that motion and whirr of wings from which it takes Ita name, he maintains hi poise' at the bloasom that cannot bear his weight aa it does that of The bee and even the blunderbuss bumbler. If you keep perfectly quiet, perhaps he will alight and let you admire him. There l v He has filled himself with honey and is perching in perfect repose upon a limb where yoo can admire him. ' How beautiful be is I As he turns his head you get the gleam of that neck band that la more radiant than the flash of Jewels. Imagine the slse of .one of thoee feathers! His bill tapers to a van ishing point like a fine needle. A sparrow comes and sits beside him. He looks like a big, ruffianly trgmp of a bird compared with thla bit of feath ered daintiness. A sleek, aaucy robin next suffers by eomparlaon, looking, as he is, the self' confident plutocrat of btrddom de cidedly clumsy and earthy when meas ured by the standard of this tiny, swift creature fed on honey and at home in tbe air. - How grateful you are to him for those two short minutes In which he conde scended to sit still and be admired. It la something he rarely does. ' ARC WOMEN CRUEL? . Speaking ef birds reminds one of the eld question. Are women cruel T - A man writer of a late novel aayg ef his heroine: "Aa she came down tha steps she waa a thing of beauty and a Joy forever. She wore one of those Jack eta to which several gray-squirrel fam ilies had contributed their hides, a hat the existence of which was due to the negligence of a certain rare bird, and many silkworms had spun . th fabric of her gown, "Had any one called her attention to this there Is not a doubt that she would have been shocked. "Only here snd there are women who see what a Moloch faahlon is. This ten-der-ould girt saw only a handsome habit that pleased the eye." No, they do not see what a Melocb . - FEIV11NINE Fashion -la, nor how her arbitrary fancies make them dance like puppets to the tune of her follies, and actually wear any aort of pled raiment and any-mode In cap and bells she may assign them. ITow th designers of fashions must laugh to see their absurdltlea followed eagerly by otherwie a aaa and rational women.;. x t.... . W. T. Shanahan, corresponding sec retary of the Oregon Humane society, who ha been the champion of abused bird and boast In thlg. city- for 18 year past," is troubled te get funds to carry on the work of that society, though there la no doubt about tbe value of the work, though apparently on that does not appeal to th majority of women very strongly.'"- .. . - - . -. .

When, .that' champion arises th Ore gon Human society will not lack for funds . . 4. ., . i If one may Judge from letters that Dr. Brougher read last night in the course of his sermon on "Servant Olrla," we are sometimes cruel to each other, but often thla apparent cruelty la just aa much .the result of thoughtlessness aa la th wearing of leather for which bird life la aacrlficed. However, we all know that It la far easier to be kind and aympathetle to th savage in . Timbnctoo, who never get near enough to annoy ua, than it la to our next-door neighbor who talks In cessantly, or to "the girl" In th kitchen, who seems to Invent ways to make life a burden to ua. . ..
