For and Against the Sparrow.

In twenty years the sparrow In
America has increased SO that it is now
difficult to find section of the country
from Boston to San Francisco which
has not it's chirping, saucy sparrow,
fighting In the roadway or making a
meal from the droppings i'll the street.
They are not migratory, but remain the
year through wherever they may be,
whether In the Gulf States or Canada.
Everywhere he is the same, and every
where he has bitter enemies and most
ardent friends. 1t is claimed that he is
and is not fruit eater; that he does
and does not drive away native birds !;
that he is and is not an insectivorous
bird, and each of these directly-opposite
conclusions is supported by any
quantity of observations. Sparrows by
the hundred have been dissected in all
seasons, and their maws found filed
with grain or insects, as the operator
was a sparrow-phobe or q sparrow
phile.
DR.. T. NJ Brewer, the Boston
naturalist, has been the great sparrow
advocate His death left the birds
without auy prominent defender, while
DIR. Elliot Cones, of the Smithsonian
Institution, has been the leader of those
who are writing down the sparrow.
Many of the States have outlawed the
little bird, and exposed him TO slaughter
by whoever may care for the work.
The charges against the birds, briefly
stated, are that they perform very in
efficiently the work they were imported
to do; they attack, dispossess, drive
away and sometimes actually kill
various native birds which are much
more insectivorous than themselves,
and which might do better service if
equally encouraged; they commit dep
relations in the kitchen garden, the
orchard and the grain field; they are
personally obnoxious and unpleasant TO
many persons, and they have at present
no natural enemies and no check upon
their limitless increase.
G. V. Riley, the entomologist, gave
his testimony against the sparrow, and
recently DR.. Cones has declared that
the repression of the bird is matter OF
national Importance, for they are
crowding out into the grain fields and
threaten to have material effect upon
the crop reports. The daughter Of
Audubon, the naturalist, also wrote re-

duced. York Herald.

MeteOric Stones.

An immense aerolite, or meteoric
stone fell near Kgospatami, in Asia
Minor, in ACT b. c., which was de-
scribed by Pliny as being as large as a
wagon. There is remarkable one in
the Smithsonian Institution, weighing
400 pounds, which fell in Mexico
about A. ID. 1900. The largest meteoric
masses on record were heard of first
by Capt. Ross, the Arctic explorer,
through some Esquimaux. These lay
on the west coast of Greenland, where
they were subsequently found by the
Swedish Exploring Expedition of 1870.
One of them, now in the Royal Mu-
scum of ckholm, weighs over 80, 900
pounds, and is the largest specimen
known. Two remarkable meteorites
have fallen in Iowa within few years
past. On Feb. Il, 1875, Il very brill
liant meteor, in the form of an en-
longated horseshoe, was seen through q
region Of at least 400 miles in length
and $50 breadth, lying in Missouri and
Iowa. 1t is described as without a
tail but having sort of flowing jacket
of flames. Decorations were heard, SO
violent as to shake the earth and to Jar
the windows like the shock of an earth
quake, as it fell, at about 10 80 o'clock
p. m, few miles east of Marengo,
Iowa. The ground for a space of some
seven miles in length by two to four
miles III breadth was strewn with frag-
ments of this meteor, varying in weight
from n few ounces to seventy-four
pounds; the aggregate of the parts dis
covered being about 500 pounds.
On May 10, 1879, at about . o'clock
p. m, large and extraordinarily
luminous meteor exploded with ter
rife noise, followed at slight intervals
with less violent detonations, and
struck the earth in the edge of a Iavine
near Baskerville, Emmett county, Iowa,
penetrating to depth of fourteen feet.
Within two miles other fragments We're
found, one of which weighed 4T0
pounds and another b pounds; the
principal mass weighed 431 pounds.
All the discovered parts aggregate
about $40 pounds. The one of 10
pounds is now in the cabinet of the
State University of Minnesota. The
composition of this aerolite is peculiar
in many respects; but, as III nearly all
aerolites, there is considerable pro-
portion of iron and nickel.-Llter

only to their seminarists, apprentices
and beyond themselves and their few
pupils no one knew how TO read and
write. nor was it expected of the gen
erality, any more than it would be now
a-days that everybody should be a shoe
maker or a lawyer. Kings did not
even know how to sign their names,
so that when they wanted to subscribe
to written contract, law, or treaty,
which some clerk had drawn up for
them, they would smear their right
hand with ink and slap it down on the
parchment, saying, "Witness my hand. F"
At later day some genius devised the
substitute of the seal, which was i'm
pressed instead of the hand, but oftener
beside the hand. Every gentleman had
a seal with peculiar device thereon.
Hence the sacramental words now in
use, witness my hand and seal, af-
fixed to modern deeds, at least serve
the purpose of reminding us of the
ignorance of the Middle Ages.

Faults of Our School System.

We school the children too much.
That is to say, we keep them at school
all the year round; we continually force
their perceptive and memorizing
faculties, and give no time for the play
of their reflective faculties In other
words, they don't reflect upon what
they have learned or attempt to apply
it in their own minds We cram them
with too many studies. How else is
the fact to be accounted for that a
child in the country, having but four
months schooling in the year, will come
TO Boston more matured in his educa-
ton than one who has had nine months
schooling in the year? In our city
schools there is too much teaching and
too little learning. BY that l mean TO
say that the great press OF studies place
upon the young mind by oral teaching
for few minutes at time, and differ
ent study most every hour in the day,
tend to break up the continuity of the
pupils thought, and the oral addresses
and lectures receive but little attention
from the tired minds of the pupils. -

oAd Darky's Story of an Interview
with Chief Justice Chase.

IN oAd Dsrky's Story of AN Interview
with Chief Justice Chase.
ben: Perley Poorel
Old Greenbacks" was the political
aPpellation given to Chief Justice Chase
when he was Secretary of the Treas
ury, by the enthusiastic clique which
Tied SO hard to secure for him the Re-
publican nomination for the Presi-
dency. Among other stories told by
the Chase men, by way of proving his
popularity at the South, was one of his
visits to leading free negro in Florida,
Uncle Solomon.
Uncle Solomon had collected good
many war relics and Indian curiosities,
which Mr.. Chase inspected with inter
est, listening meanwhile to the old
darky's anecdotes relative to the war in
Florida, and its effect both on the
planters and negroes, as seen from his
own peculiar standpoint, that Of a free
eoiored man cultivating some thirty or
forty acres of his own land. After an
hour thus pleasantly spent Mr.. Chase
thanked his entertainer, and, as he was
about stepping into the ambulance
which had conveyed him thither, for
the purpose of returning, produced a
new 81 bill and placed it in the
astonished hands of Uncle Solomon.
What for dat?" asked Uncle Sol,
holding out the bill Indignantly at arms
length. "Golly, massa, 'twasn't for
dat old uncle toted you round dis place.
Use got all want, God be blessed for
itl and the old darky's feelings APP
peared to have been really hurt.
Why, uncle, you mistake" said the
Chief Justice, kindly, stepping back
out of his ambulance and pointing one
finger to the vignette in the corner of
the bill, Il knew you better, Uncle
Sol, than to offer you money; and 1T Is
as picture to remember me by, not as
money, that give you that bill"
For moment Uncle Sol was stupi-
fed, but, observing Mr.. Chase still
pointing with one hand to the vignette,
while removing his broad-brimmed
straw hat with the other, some glim-
mer of the truth began to break slowly
In upon old uncle's mind. Once or
twice his eyes rolled between the face
of the Chief Justice and the portrait
In the corner of the crisp paper he was
holding, light of new intelligence
every moment spreading over his feat
ures, and rapidly expanding into the
broadcast and happiest of grins. At
length, throwing up his hands and
bringing them down on his knees-a
gesture many times repeated - old
Uncle Sol commenced shouting aloud ::
ooh, golly, massa, if you amt Ole
Greenbacks hisself! Golly, golly, if
you amt Ole Greenbacks. Use so glad
TO see you, massa, Use SO glad to see
you'll Oh, golly, massa, God be blessed
dis old niger has lived to see dis day! !"
The dollar bill was not returned, but
enshrined in a neatly-carved frame of
red cedar over the chimney-piece of
Uncle Solomons best room, the most
priced and most-adored relic of all his
odd museum. The old man never
wearied of relating every minutest in
cident of that one bright, happy day,
when his farm was made glorious and
his life was ennobled through all future
time by actual contact for an hour
with Old Greenbacks hisself.
