Let those talk of the miseries of child

mine; and woe TO him that makes the glad
heart of infancy sad. He sears the future
bud of promise; he IS making that woeful

Of men, let them have crowned great and
learned and honorable as they might have,
always locked back to the shining days of
their early youth, ere care had made its
nest in the heart and said with 4 sigh,
''Oh, that l were a boy once more"'
Man is a being that must pursue some
object; the boy IN the country has a thous-
and objects of beauty and curiosity to call
forth his attention and ardent spirit, and he
is as happy as the day is long, at the same
time he is laying up a store of strength and
health for years Of care and grave duties
as he grows up. All. those were the times.
After years we may be successful and even
glorious; we conquer difficulties and dis
pense good and achieve genuine honors,
we may grasp power and dwell in the very
lap of riches; but there never viii come

SENATOR RANKIN has introduced bill
IN the senate authorizing the board of
aldermen of the city of Manitowoc to
borrow $50, 900 from the commissioners
Of the state school fund, the amount to
be expended in paying the bonded in
debtedness of the city. Legal in
terest is to be paid on the amount bor-
rowed, and after five years, one-fifteenth
of the indebtness together with the
annual interest is to be paid annually
until the debt is discharged.
This is very wise step and the city
council at its meeting on Monday night
approved of tie bill. Up to the present
no fund has been provided to pay the
indebtness of the city when it falls due. 1t
would be almost impossible for thecity to
pay its bonded indebtness in one year, and
it is characteristic of people to neglect to
provide for comparatively remote obi.
cations. 1t is highly probable that these
bonds can be purchased at discount,
reputation being factor at present in
all municipal indebtness. E7en if this
is not possible there is no small advan-
tage in paying the debt in fifteen INSTALL
ments, instead of attempting to pay it in
one year, as that is what the neglect to
provide sinking fund virtually means.
Some steps should be taken by the
county to discharge its bonded indebt-
ness. amounting to s216,OO 1t is much
easier for the county to discharge this
amount than it is for the city to pay its
municipal indebtness of 100000. Still
it is the part of wisdom to tighten the
burdens of the future as much as posi-
BILE. If this amount of $4,000 be
distributed through series of years, it
viii not SO seriously tax the resources of
the people of the county. Some effort
should be made to create a sinking fund
or to purchase the bonds at discount

CHAs. Book.

From facts furnished by member of
the Dana Natural History society, the
English sparrow is a pest from which
| the people will be soon praying for de-
liverance. It appears that these birds
were introduced in this country in New
York in 1862, being imported to destroy
some species of geometrid that were de-
stroying the trees in public parks. There
can not be much doubt that the birds in
this city are the lineal descendants of the
birds then imported. The sparrow, it
seems. has to answer for a great number
of bad qualities, aud is credited with
very few good ones. The bird is charged
with being very pugnacious, driving of
all singing birds and refusing to live in
peace with its own species. 1t breeds SO
very rapidly that unless means are taken
to kill them off they will drive off all
other birds. They are not insectivorous,
unless in cases of extreme necessity,
while they eat a great amount of grain
and destroy the buds OF fruit producing
trees. In England the government offers
a reward for the capture and destruction
of these birds and the writer states that
the people of the United States will soon
demand protection against these birds.
They are not musical and are very bold.
In short with long category of faults
they have but few redeeming traits.
If all said Of these birds be true, the
butcher birds should rather be encour-
aged to deal out death to the sparrow,
and Ernst Rudolph should be enioined
from shooting any more of these friends
of humanity" These birds are certainly
great favorites at the south side and the
people there will be slow to believe that
their feathered darlings are plaques.
