The Day in History

The ancient Egyptians. Phoenic- ians and Persians began their ycar at the autumnal equinox (Sept. 21) and the Greeks until the 5th century B. C. at the winter solstice (Dec. 2i). In 432 B. C. the latter altered their New Year's Day to the 21st of June. The ancient Romans celebrated the beginning of the year on the 21st of December, but Caesar by the adop- tion of the Julian calendar postpon- ed ll. to the 1st of January. ‘Iiic

il year from the first day of the month of Tishri (Sept. 15-Oct. 5i but their ecclesiastical year begins at the spring equinox (March 2i). The 25in of March was the usual datc among most Christian people

Saxon England, howcvcr, the 25th of Dcwmbcr was New Year's Day. At the Norman Conquest, owing, it is believed. to the u incidence of his coronation being arranged for that date, William the Conque or order- ed that the year should start on the 1st of January. But later England be- gan her year with the rest of Chris- tendom on the 25th of March. The Gregorian calendar (i582). which rc- stored the 1st of January io its po- sition ss New Ycorh Day. was ac- cepted by ail Catholic countries at once; by Germany; Denmark and Sweden about 1100. but not until 175i by England.

“Board and indsinr um aniy."7,ia

creating a sanctuary for‘ birds on tn Alberta. farm, and how it bas_been made to pay handsomely. lfhe story is told by Anne Anderson Perry in Mac- Lean’: Magazine for u.‘ Bendick o! “Ieduc, Alberta, is the owner of the farm. The land il partly wooded and has many smallstrsams,

Some tcn years ago I m. Ben" _‘ found the nest of a wild duck. He took the eggs to his farm house and placed them under a setting hen. Ten speckled ducklets were ‘the result. Bondlck at the time had no idea fhat thLs would change the whole course oi his life, but it did. In the meantime all the feathered tribes of the region round about learned that Bendickb farm was a safe place for them. They were not shot st nor disturbed while there. Soon the ponds were filled with ducks and geese and Bepdick, un- known to himself, was becoming an- other Jack Miner.

The provincial game wardens d his neighbors co-opcrated with him and it now seems that ail-the native birds of Alberta know of the sanc- tuary and frequent it, along with others who stop over dork-lathe“ p“. 5888s north and south. But how to support all these trusting and hungry families. Mr. Bendick was a poor man who had to earn a living for his own family. He got books, read them and pondered long over them. The con. clusion to which he came wg m“ vhe would mould his hobby into an m. dim-fl’ and make it pa)’. not only for its keep but for that o! mime]; and family.

Hi! Rave up fanning. Today he i; export-ins birds to many parts of m, United States, canada, Great Britain, Europe, Japan and Honolulu, And n, has extended his stock of birds by importations oi all Canadian game birds, including over fifty variety; o; water fowl. Prom the beginning hi; new enterprise hLs proved to be g great success. Mr. Bendickb Qlpgg- ierice has convinced him that all game birds are easily domesticated and mu}- tiply rapidly. His many vsrietie; o: ducks remain c, little my, bu; 0th,, varieties both of land and vlter birds become as tame as those oi’ the or. dinary poultry yard.

His imported birds from warm climates have to be protected against the winter cold in _Albertp, and, Q1 wurse- SuDDiied with proper food. But many imported birds not before known in the province have proved capable of multiplying rapidly in g, wild state. And ‘perhaps the greatest, contribution to the. province which prides itself on the efllcacy o: it; game laws is that the Bendick ex- Dcrlments have tended to conserve the native varieties o! game birds, and have educated the whole neighbor- hood-one of the most cosmopolitan character-Jo the beauties and values of such conservation.

We are learning more and more about birds all the time, the good ones and the bad ones. We have learned that the crow is a murderer, as are certain hawks and owls. Also. from such men as Jack Miner and Bendick we have learned the ines- timabie value of bird sanctuaries. let us hope that some bird lover who can afford to do so, will donate some plot of land suitableior both waterfowl and land birds to provide a bird sanc- tuary for this Island.

Failing that, the legislature should make the necessary provision.- There should be one or morebird sanctuar- lcs in each of the Maritime Provinces. Moreover, the game wardens or others should be empowered and required to destroy those villains of the air which have driven away our song birds-and which prey‘ upon our valuable game birds. destroying the nests and young o! duck, partridge, plover and snipe. The way things are going our beauti- ful Island, which domesticated the silvcr fox, is in danger of soon becom- ing blrdless, save asthe home of birds o1 prey.

Ii. is pltiable and regretlbie that lust as the year was closing s num- be! 0f young men in this city should be under arrest charged with the ser- ious crime of burglary. . Apparently, grave offences of the sort that involve confinement in the penitentiary, seam to be on the increase rather than diminishing In our province and city.
