THE SPARROW WAR.

Once upon 4 time a certain hlng of
Prussia found fault with the sparrow.
long before it was brought over here and
subjected to the prevailing storm of un-
friendly criticism that is now beating up
on its hardy head and energetic struggle
for existence. This magnatc aforesaid
was fond Of currantS, big red Dutch cur
rants. and a row of richly laden bushes,
which his gardener was cultiyating in
confident pride for the ultimate delecta-
ton of the royal palate, was the subject
of more attention from his majesty than
the gorgeous flower parterres or the
clumps of semi-trUpical foliage, trans
planted to please his eye, here and there
throughout the princely garden. When
the berries were almost blushing in full
crimson beauty of ripeness, his Royal
Highness made the unpleasant discovery
that multitudes Of spauows not only COW
eted the fruit as much as he, but that
they had eaten them all before he could
muster an alarm, mount guard, and pick
the clusters for himself.
\ quaint chronicler tells US, thereupon,
that the wrath of his Highness was not
confined TO single or repeated explo-
sions of disgust on the garden walks, but
that an edict was published at once order
ing the determination !of the Pyrgta
domesticG; and SO thoroughly did the vas
sails of the crown carry out this law, that
the unhappy Sparrows were literally elm
mated from the Prussian realms. Then
this old historian goes on to say that to
the great surprise Of "his Majestic the
currant bushes were not permitted, after
the expulsion of these birds, to render
service after their kind, for strange fly
next year followed, and did cate ye
leaves so extensively that the shrubs
again failed in bearing; and so on
season after season, until the king, weary
of seeing the ravage, revoked the decree
of death to the sparrow, and actually paid
out of the royal treasury some eight hun
bred thousand dollars in the form of re-
wards to his people for their zeal in bring
ing the exiled birds back.
Thus the sparrow, which we have
brought over from the Continent, is no
stranger to persecution, and the success
with which he fights for living here au-
ours well for his future; but, like all
other people of pronounced character, he
has decided phases of good commingled
with much that is decidedly evil: hence
his friends and his foes have arisen, and
the overburdened refrain of their angry
diSavowals and denominations is spread
out within the columns of the press
wherever man can read in this country.

BEE RANCHING IN CALIFORNIA.

This is famous country for bees and
the making of honey, and at many a
breakfast in distant Europe today,
the waffle Is spread with sweets that have
been flched from the hearts of thousand
California flowers. In the mouth OF
almost every canyon there is a bee-ranch
or apiary, whose owner grows indolent
and prosperous from the labors Of his
industrious subjects. Here there are no
long winters with dearth of flowers,
through which the patient workers must
be nursed and fed in order that they may
live until the opening Of the next field
season.
These bee-ranches are models Of neat
ness and domestic comfort, and the pro-
fession of Bookkeeping IS rapidly becom-
ing popular among persons Of little ply
steal strength or small financial capital,
or both; such as maiden ladies, broken
down ministers, bachelor students, and
those dilettante farmers who fancy that
the royal road to bucolic happiness lies
through the fowery beds of bee pasture.
Their expenses are as light as those Of a
hermit in his cave, and what stores of
honey are laid up are so much clear gain,
as the bees board themselves while they
work, and work increasingly in prepare
ton for the winter which never comes.
When the hive is full, the casks of comb
are removed, the liquid is strained from
the cells, and the empty cups are replaced,
to be filed again and again. This eco
nomical process prevents a waste of labor
and time in the gathering of wax and
the building of new bins in the store
house.
Walking out in the morning in the
green brushwood Of these canyons, YOU
hear loud and continuous buzzing of
wings, and, although there may not be a
flower in sight, it is as ceaseless and
strong as in buckwheat patch OF clover
field at home. This humming of bees is
natures tenor voice, as the roaring OF
water is her bass. There is cure fol
homesickness in the bees monotone, even
though the authors thereof be perfectly
wild, as, indeed, many Of these are. In
such country you cannot feel utterly
lonesome and lost.-Sunddy afternoon

sICKLY TREES.

In most newly planted orchards are
here and there trees that persist in state
of chronic feebleness, shedding their leaves
premaurely and making little or no
growth. They are easily swayed to and
fro in the wind, as if no new roots had
been formed, and nothing seems TO infuse
any vitality into them, while those around
them. with no better care, are thrifty and
flourishing.
Such trees may have inherited disease
in the nursery, or become incurably en-
feebled by exposure or injury before trans
planting. Whatever the cause of their
ailment may be, it is waste of time to
bother with them. They should be pulled
up, and Others, new and fresh, put in
their places. BY following this method
a few years a fine orchard may be secured,
with no stunted trees nor homely gaps In
the rows.
With older trees, that have attained a
good growth. the case is different. Their
size renders them too valuable to throw
away, and their former growth and sub
seQueut decline are indicative of a fresh
difficulty, that may be susceptible Of sue
ceSSful treatment. Careful fertiizing and
judicious pruning viii generally accom-
pliSh the cure.
