to give trouble. I have had it in the
corn field and in the garden and rather
like it on account of the remarkably
rich addition it makes to the soil. An
old strawberry bed overrun with quack
was spaded last spring very deeply,
taking care to turn the thick, heavy sod
completely and leave sufficient soil above
the perfect mat of root. The ground
was planted with potatoes and cabbages,
and I never had so clean garden plot.
On digging it over in the fall, the old
sod was turned up mass of black, rich
soil in which the cabbage-roots had
spread very thickly. I have plowed a
heavy quack sod for corn, but avoided
disturbing the roots, using Nishwitz
wheel harrow instead of a toothed har-
row. The quack never appeared and
the corn was very clean until the rag
weed came. The quack gave no trou-
BILE. Narrowing will spread it unless
the roots are picked up. To get rid Of
it pillow it deep and work the soil with a
sharp wheel harrow or sharp bladed
horse hoe, which only scrapes the
surface but at any rate the sod
should not be disturbed in the least.

UNHAPPY BIRDs.

Poets may weep to learn from an or
nithologist who writes in the London
Globe that bird Life is far from idle hap
piness. Birds have all the bad qualities
Of mankind. They are deficient in love
for their offspring. and have no more
conjugal affection than the traditional
rover. Their moral nature is frequently
depraved. They hiss and scold and
swear, and exhibit terrible pugnacity.
The majority of singing birds have the
temper Of wasps, and are apparently
never SO happy as when they are quar-
reling. A fourth of their lives is spent
in scolding and fighting. In their sing
ing season, which is also their time for
mating and contention, severe pitched
battles, fought between candidates for
matrimonial life, are of continual occur
renee. The females fight furiously for
the males, and when the contest is over
the conquerors march on with the objects
OF their choice, unless they should be
met on the road by other viragoes and
compelled to give up their husbands by
force. /. A male bird viii allow two hens
to fight for him until one or the other Of
them is killed, and then with due humil-
ity accompany the victor. At this period
OF the year the woods and the fields are
the scenes Of desperate battles. Shrieks
Of triumph Or defeat mingle with the,
love notes Of the newly-mated. The
very songs we hear at dawn of day are
more the result of rivalry and ambition
than Of joyous thanksgiving, the feath-
cred songsters being DESTROYS of drown
ing the voice of others or Of excelling
them in vocal power in presence of the
females. ~

.PAPAn IND MAMMA"

An early instance which occurs to me
is in the "Beggar's Opera" (172D,
where Polly Peachum, I think it is,
speaks Of her "papa." The modern
change from "papa" and mamma" to
father and mother among the upper
classes, which began about thirty years
ago, seems to have been reaction
against custom which had gradually
crept in among persons of lower grade.
As soon as common peoples children
began to say "papa" and "mamma"
those of higher class were taught to
say "father'' and "mother." It was
among my high-church friends that I
first noticed this adoption of father"
and "mother." One does not see the
connection, but such is the fact. When
/ was young "papa" and mamma
were universal among what may be
called the middle and upper ranks of So
ciety, and to this day "ladies of GER
tain ageY still use the words. King
George Ill, Sbout the year 1852, add
dressed his mother as mamma;" so I
find in the "Grenville Memoirs. But
/ do not think that Charles H., unless
he was speaking in French, ever ad-.
dressed Henrietta Maria by that endear-
ing name, and feel tolerably sure that
the Lady Elizabeth never called Henry
VIII. "papa." On the other hand I
would observe that papa" and "mam-
ma" are fast being supplanted by the
oldoriginal "father" and "mothcr." For
ten, or perhaps for twenty, years last
past, children In the upper and upper
middle classes have, SO far as my obser-
walton goes, been taught to say father"
and "mother;" and "pspa" and "mam-
ma, which are words of extreme ten
derness to those Of my generation, seem
now to have sunk into contempt as 3
'.note" of social inferiority.-Notes and
Queries.
