nests. Then, the agricultuTits
generally, whether on large or
small scale, believe that all the re-
dacious birds, owls included, lat
their poultry. and that all the mn
predatious birds devour their grin
and fruit. So they indiscriminae-
ly kill every bird that comes witfD
their reach.
Only a few days before thee
lines were written read an account
of farmer who found that his mn
were "frozen out" and so set then
to work at killing the 1inches. Tie
men sometimes brought in as man
as seventy dozen in a single day
and both they and their employe'
thought they were doing the bes
for the land. Still more lately
was reading leading article in al
evening newspaper. 1t treated o
insects, and the writer summed NJ
the subject by saying that the worlC
would get on much better without
them, and that we might cheerful!
spare the bee and the silk worm, 1
by so doing we could get rid of tip
Insects that bit and stung us, q
spoiled our clothing or ate our fool.
The depths of ignorance and pre-
sumption in this suggestion are
simply appalling, and l cannot trust
myself to do more than mention il.

Bad Judgment.

Boston POSt.
The boys of the fire department
have a menagerie, consisting of a
snake. lizard and a mouse. That
is, they had all these animals, but
yesterday wrought a change. IN
til yesterday the three dwelt in
peace, but then the snakeship swal-
lowed the other two-third of the
collection of animals, and now holds
the field alone. But retribution
overlook him too quick as the fol
lowing will show:
When the geological garden was
opened at the fire department a
cage was made with two depart
nents, the lizard occupying one
and the mouse the other. The
snake had access TO both depart
ments by means of hole that had
been bored in the board partition
that divided the compartments.
When the snake tired of the society
OF the fourfooted reptile, it would
glide through the passage and
watch the capers of the small ro-
dent quadruped. This must have
been pleasant pastime for the
snake while the novelty lasted, but
he either became hungry or tired OF
the companionshIp, or both; or
some misunderstanding arose
such things will occur in the best
regulated families-at least the
snake and lizard lay down to
gether, but when the snake began
to move the lizard was not there.
After swallowing the lizard the
snake glanced up and became aware
that the mouse had witnessed the
terrible murder. Realizing no
doubt that dead mice tell no tales,
the reptile put his head through
the small hole and assassinated the
mouse in cold blood, swallowing it
TO hide the carcass. How vain are
reptile hopes? In its eagerness to
swallow its harmless companions it
failed to watch its Own position.
The lizard had sweiled on one side
of the hole, and the mouse on the
other, and Mr. Snake was fast.
Squirming and wriggling would do
no good, it was peDned, victim of
its own folly.-Burllngton Hawk

A Montana Story.

Grizzly Dan, of Montana, was
never known to steal anything when
sober, but he saws: "When Pm
drunk, anything L get these five
fingers on is mine, AMI don't you
forget it!r' AS an Indian fighter,
when under the influence of drink,
he is also a holy terror in MOnta
ma. He was once set upon by a
whole tribe of bowling red devils,
and was obliged TO run for his life.
He headed for the brink of cliff
about seven hundred feet high,
lodging the bullets fired at him as
he ran, being able through long
practice to tell the course of ball
by the sound as it approaches from
the lear. Grizzly Dan unhesita-
tingly leaped over the cliff, to the
amazement of the Indians, who
gathered in a row to watch his fall.
Dan turned in the air as he was
falling, raised his Winchester rifle
to his shoulder and pulled trigger.
An Indian toppled over with ball
through his left eye, and Dan kept
pulling the lever and the trigger
until seventeen of the red devils had
balls through their left eyes and
were falling over the cliff after him.
The eighteenth shot only carried
away an Indians nose. as the air
was so full of falling Indians be-
tween Dan and the top OF the cliff
that his aim was little confused.
He struck feet first in the river be
low and swan ashore uninjured.
The Indian Remaining on the top of
the cliff was the sole survivor of
the tribe, and was ever atterward
known as the "Man-with a-hole-in-
his-nose."

Fat Tail Shean
TO the Editor of the Courier-JC

TO the Editor of the Courier-Journll.l
In the Courier Journal of Sep
TENDER 13 is a query about sheep
with very large tails. In "Traveis
in Europs and the East" by Rev.
Samuel Iren@us Prime, an editor of
the New York Observer, is an &C
count which is subjoined 1 90 not
know that Mr.. Prime is now living,
but this | am certain, that no mans
testimony would be more credible.
The work was published by Har-
per Bros. in 1855, in two volumes,
and the following is quoted from
volume two, pages 304 and 305:
son the hills which we are now
climbing are frequent hocks of
goats. The sheep, of which, also,
we saw great numbers, grow to an
enormous size, and have tails which
weigh from ten to twenty, and even
forty, fifty and sixty pounds. In
various parts of Asia Minor the
tail of this sheep grows to such i'm
mense proportions that it is no
uncommon thing for the shepherd
to place little carriage behind the
sheep for it's tail to rest upon; and
l was told that here it often be-
comes so heavy as to break from
the body; it consists of an enor-
nous lobe of fat, which is used in
stead of lard; l afterward ate cake
that was made with it. The sheep
itself, when well fatted, will weigh
200 pounds; and great care is taken
in fattening the animal in order to
make it attain its greatest weight.
1t is fed until it is unable to walk,
then the food is brought to it and
put into its mouth, and even after
it is unable any longer to stand
upon lis feet they continue to feed
it as it lies upon the ground. As
long as it will eat they endeavor to
coax it's appetite with whatever pu
triment it will take"
The above tale of tail may in
terest some of your readers. Mr..
Prime was the once famous cores
pendent and religious writer who
wrote over the name of "Iren9us."

of print, as do 90 many similar

the boy. "Well. to swap homes
means that" said the sensible SIS
sister; "for a house itself is not a
home. A home is your father and
mother, and brothers and sisters,
and every thing you have in the
house." Was not that well saidf
Is not there a truth in those words
which is hid from many Of the

to babes? A well-furnished house
is not a home. A home is the lille
and the love which the family in the
house represents. Who would
swap his home for a rich neigh

Destruction Of Birds in France.

France ought to be a warning tC
US. In England we do restrict the
title of "game" to a very small
number Of birds and beasts, even
excluding the rabbit from the cate
CORY. Consequently, when an Eng
fish sportsman goes out with his
gun, he never dreams of shooting
anything but game, as he under
stands the word, and the ordinary
wild birds may fly IN safety through
the fields, so far as he is concerned.
But in France, some years ago, any
bird, no matter what its species,
was considered in the light of game,
and a sportsman would be inordi-
nately proud of his success if he
brought back half dozen robins,
as many sparrows, a couple of
black birds and q thrush in his gor
geously embroidered and betasseled
game bag.
1 well remember when l was liv-
ing in France, taking my first conn-
try walk. The weather was per
iect, the landscape beautiful, bat
something was wanting. 1t was
the song or twitter of birds. Not a
bird was to be seen for mile after
mile, the ''sportsmen" having shot
every one that dared to show itself
The natural result followed. Rocks
and starlings being destroyed, the
insects had everything their own
way, the trees being stripped bare
by eockchafers, and the corn blast
ed by the wireworms. After time
France discovered her error, and is
now wisely doing all in her power
to bring back her banished allies
But it is always easier to destroy
than to restore, and years must vet
pass before disturbed nature can
regain her equilibrium.
Although we have not wrought
such Wholesale destruction asFrance
did, we have very strong tenden-
cy in that direction. Man invaria
bly, tries to employ destruction
when endeavering to find a remedy
for any evil, be il real or fancied.
See what would happen if every
one could have his destructive will.
The farmer who chafes at the raw
ages made by landlords haees,
rabbits and pheasants on his crops
would like nothing better than TO
shoot them all. The game keeper,
who thinks that every creature
which is not game is destructive to
game, does his best to exterminate
every living creature that might in
.efere with his "head of game" and
[ would not be too sure that the
.hrice sacred fox might not acct
iently eat something which dIsa-
freed with him, if he took TO rob-
)ing the pheasant and partridge |

to be universally used in Vassar Col.
lege for the latter purpose when
/ surreptitious lemonade is made in
bedrooms at late hours. Two OF
three hair-pins held closely together
may be used to beat eggs with great
success, and there are many house
keepers who prefer them to any OF
the patent egg-beaters now in use.
Where palm-leaf fans are used the
pair pin is mightier than the pencil.
An intelligent young lady can write
beautiful note on the surface of a
palm-leaf fan with the point of a
hair PIN, and can carry on an i'm
portant correspondence with the
young man in the next pew by
handing him her fan while The ser
mon s i'll progress. There are ca
ses on record of letters having been
hoisted up to the second and third
stories of a female seminary by
cords furnished with extemporized
hooks made of hair-pins. In fact,
any school girl, if furnished with a
single hair pin, can manage to COM
municate with a prohibited cousin
in spite of almost aEy obstacle.
AS a pick-hook the hair pin is
simply Invaluable, as it will accom-
modate itself to the wards Of any or
binary lock. A more important
use, however, is that which the
smoker makes of a hair-pin. The
Connecticut man finds it the very
thing he needs for coaxing the CT
gars of his native State to "draw,''
and no man who smokes a pipe can
possibly dispense with it. All pipes
will at times become choked, and
when this is the case, hair pin is the
only thing that will remove the OBJ
struction. There was a determined
woman who once attempted to force
her husband to give up smoking
pipe by cutting her hair short, and
thus extirpating her hair pins. The
plan was an admirable one, and
would have succeeded had not the
husband eloped with another wo-
man who simply brIstled with hair
pins, This conduct, however, jus
titles the assertion that hair-pins
are indispensable to the man who
smokes pipe, though in the inter-
ests of morality it could be wished
that he had stayed at home and
smoked cigars.
1t would require far too much
space to dwell upon the countless
uses of hair pins, only a few of
which have just been mentioned.
Enough, however, has been said to
show that the most useful thing
man can have at his command is a
girl well supplied with hair pins
No prudent man she I'D be without
one. Had Robinson Crusoe sue
ceeded in saving a girl from the
wreck of the Spanish ship, where he
obtained those excellent "succadies
of sweet-meats," he would have had
all the tools necessary for the pur-
pose of building, rigging and equip
ping a ship of his own. Let the
Arab have his date palm and the
South Sea Islander his cocoanut
tree. We can point proudly to
our girls and claim that their hair
pins are as much superior to the
iate-palm or the cocoanut tree as
we believe ourselves to be superior |
