ever, maintain that with the equipment of a water snpply company and the proper placing of hydrants, the insur¬ ance rates would be so lowered that the slight increase in taxes would amount to nothing. In fact, they argue, that the moderate taxpayer would save $5 or more yearly.
Irrespective of all this, those who favor it declare that Baldwin needs snch afl improvmeut. They say the village has a fire comiwiny made useless without means of fighting fires; that the ixjpula- tion of Baldwin uow exceeds 2,500, but beoause of a condition of lethargy that seizes tQany of the residents, the more active s^^ the village lias not made the progress that other villages of lesser population have made.

"Fish and birda are much alike as to habit," said Mr. Seaman to a Brooklyn Times reporter. "A mother bird will build a neat in a back yard just as the female fish will make her habitat at the mooth of a fresh water stream where tbe water is brackish.
"The compariaon of bird and fisb ia intensely interesting, for it showa the harmonic working of natvre in lower animals. The bird lays eggs and hatches young. When they are strong of wing the migrating season arrives, and with their kind they flock to tbe Southern States. In the spring they return, the young taking up their habi¬ tat at the place of their birth, where they in torn mate and lay. This re¬ curs witb the opening of spring, and will until the end of time.
