Dear Boys and girls: I know you will be interested in the account one of our readers gives of his success in making friends with the winter birds. As the cold and snow deplete the supply of food in the woods, the confidence of the nuthatches and chickadees especially seems to be in- creased, and many of us have so enjoyed the fearlessness with which they perch on head or shoulder, and take food from our hands, that it seems the fault of man himself that these gentle ones scatter at his ap- proach. We heard a bird-lover tell of a bitjejay which at his call would come from among the tree-tops, for its breakfast each morning from his hands.

Cordially your friend, Meg Merrythought. ANSWERS TO JANUARY PUZZLES, Numerical Engima, Ruby-throated Hummingbird. CENTRAL ACROSTIC. heRon quAil maVis veEry fiNch.
