In the case a verdict of f-VXI damages was given against the workmen who ordere-l the boycott. Judge Vort held that a man can work or not, a* he sees fit, bnt he cannot, without civil Ua^lity either alone or in combination with others, seek to injure the business of any individual, firm or corporation by a boycott or by preventing others so disposed from working for such individual, firm or corporation.

Slagtajr Birds.

•Among birds the females do not sing, and although many species have musical call notes and agreeable tones in conversation which are shared in by both aexes still tbe true song is only rendered by the male bird. I am sincere In saying that tbe lady bird talks more than her mate about tbe boose, but I will admit that when away from borne she is very discreet in this respect. In attending to her duties of incubation she ia very quiet, and it is seldom that a note is beard from her while on the nest. It has even been said that all bird* are silent when incubating. so as to avoid observation. However, although most specie* are quiet when sitting, there are a few =which chirp loudly when so engaged, and some even burst into exuberant

song.—Science.
