On the Ethics of Caging Birds To THK Editor of Bird-Lork: I thank you for offering me an opportunity to be heard inmy own defense. But controversy is — if possible-—more dis-tasteful to me than injustice. Therefore, while it is painful to bemisrepresented, I will answer my critics only by saying that theyhave entirely—I do not say wilfully — misunderstood me, and thatno one who knows me could for an instant believe me guilty offavoring or encouraging, the caging, the w^earing, or the eatingof our little brothers, the birds. q, ^, ^.^, Thorne Mii.lkr.

Indeed, itis said that the children donot enjoy their own gifts untilthey know the birds have beenprovided for. Concerning this beautifulcustom of putting out a yulesheaf for the birds.

Dr. Stejneger adds that the origin of the custom is shroudedin the mystery of the mythological ages.

So let us all be good Norwegians
