Don't Kill the Birds.

THERB Is trouble on our track if we do
not at once take measures to protect and
increase the bird family. The insects are
after us; their numbers are legion; every
plant, almost, has its enemy. Many of
them have host of enemies that are
making war upon our success in cultivat-
ing them, and yet we invite the sports
men to come in and destroy our only
ally in the ever present conflict we are
holding with the insect host. All these
enemies are rapidly on the increase and
the destruction is fabulous in amount
Prof. Aughey is the authority tor the
statement that 1.-THE amount Of damage
done in year throughout the United
States, by insects, is not less than $780,
10000 Illinois alone has suffered to the
amount of $73, OOO, 600 in a single year."
Seventv-three millions of dollars in one
State, destroyed by insects in one year;
and yet bird-killing goes on under the
protection of the law. Some rash indi-
viduals claim that birds de not destroy in
sects. If those persons will examine the
stomach of bird killed by these hunters,
they will no longer assert that the bird
has not q mission in misunderstanding,
and if permitted is not faithfully at its
post performing duty. If these insects
are not destroyed in some manner, what
may we not expecti Prof. Aughey is
authority for the following also: "Applc,
pear and plum trees have about one hun
dred species of insect enemies; fifty spe-
cies of insects interfere with grape culture.
There are at least thirty-five insect enemies
of our gardens. Most species of insects
have marvellous fecundity; one pair of
grain weavils will produce 5000 young
between April and August. According
to Reaumer, one aphide, or plant louise,
may become the progenitor. in single
season, of 1900, OOU 900. The female
wasp produces, in one season, $4,000.
The white ant deposits eggs at the aver
silkworm, which feeds SO largely on our
wild plums, produces from COO to 1000
eggs per season. Learn these facts; and
YET the gunner is permitted to destroy our
greatest hope. More birds are needed of
the insectivorous class. and all that are
sought by the hunter are of the family
that is continually destroying the great
enemy of our harvests. Dogs and traps
should be prohibited by most stringent
legislative euactments. The few days of
respite from labor and the Office that are
found In the field or forest with the dog
and gun may be missed; but what is that
in comparison with the fabulous amounts
destroyed by humoring the desire and re-
moving the protection to the crops, and
our bread and butter! Let the expert
ment be tried for three years of permit
ting no one ct any time Of year to kill any
bird or fowl. such law would work
hardship to NO one, and its saving to the
West might be in amount more than our
National debt. The law. makers of our
several States now in session should take
prompt and united action in the matter.

Breathing M1aSma Without injury
There is no exaggeraticn in the statemen
that thousands of persons residing from one

miasma, without incurring the disease, sim.

of using Hostetter's Stomach Bittcrs as q
preventive. It has frequently happened,
and the fact has been amply attcsted by the
parties themselves, that persons surrounded
on all sides by peighbOrs suffering the tor
lures of this shivering and burning plague,
have enjoyed absolute immunity from it,
thanks to the protection afforded by the Bit.

dial less cticacious in remedying than in
preventing chills and fever, bilious remit
tents, and disorders of kindred type.
Taken between the paroxysms, it speedily
mi'igates their violence, and eventually pre-.
vents their recurrence. These facts, convinc-
ingly es ablished by evidence. appeal with
peculiar force to travellers aud sOjourners in

Rochester Express: AT High Mar
ket, Lewis county, the six year old
daughter of Mrs. Theodore Markham
was left alone In charge Of a baby. In
trying TO light a lamp to heat milk for
the baby, the child set her own clothes
on fire. She started to run out doors,
fearing the house or baby would be
burned, but noticing that pieces of her
burning clothes had dropped on the
floor, she carefully extiuguished them.
She finally got out OF doors and threw
herself into horse trough. putting
out the fire. She then returned to the
house, and 10 patiently az her agony
would permit, waited for her mother.

LONDON, August ga dispatch to

A dispatch from Berlin states that
Bismarck left there to-day for Gus

A Times dispatch from Belgrade,
dated yesterday, says to-day being the
anniversary of Prince Milan's ascen-
sion to the throne, there was n parade
of the regular troops and militia, at
the cathedral. The metropolitan de-
livered political discourse. He said
that the moment was probably not far
distant when Servia would be called
upon to fulfill her political mission.
The proclamation of independence
has been postponed In consequence of
remonstrances from the diplomatic
agents. Mobilization, however, is 60
ing on and troops are marching to the
frontier continually, but owing TO Rus,
sian defeats, the population do not
show a warlike spirit.
The special edition of the evening
Standard has the following Bucharest
dispatch The Turks attacked Tier
nova yesterday, but were repulsed.
The engagement was recommended
to-day. Osman pasha's troops made
an attack on Selvier with the inten-
ton of advances up the Gabrava, but
Prince Mirsky repulsed them, even
before the arrival OF a division, which
he had asked for as reinforcement.
Details received here regarding the
battle in the Shipka pass, states that
the Russians repulsed successfully ten
vigorous attacks made by the Turks,
the positions being very strong.
1t is not true that the forces of
Mehemet Ali and Sulelman pasha
have effected junction and the Rus
slams are preparing to attack several
Turkish positions.
A special to the Times says no fur

garding the battle in the Shipka pass.
The capture of the village OF Shipka
could be confoundod with the repulse
OF the Turks at the southern entry of
the pass, the village, which Is two
