These birds are always seen in fiocks
or communities, the same increasing in
size as the birds multiply. They do
not migrate, remaining the year round
in the vicinity where they were hatch
ed and reared. Their fight is short
and with a rapid movement of their
wings, giving the impression at first
that they are afraid of falling. On the
ground they move about by hops and
leaps, both long and short. The spar
rows pair in the season, building their
nests in early April. They are very
prolific, have brOods of five, six and
seven at a time, and three or four times
in season. Their nests are very
loosely built and usually located on
any mitch or projection of your house
which they can find large enough to
fasten the nests into or upon. They
have no song, but do have a very mo-
notOnOus chirp. Where they have
young, they utter loud yellip or yelp
with oh in it, and that almost with
out interruption, from daylight until
dark, which in time becomes almost
uncomfortable. ITO be continued.)

complaint

LATE INFORMATION from Park
City is to the effect that the recent
excitement over there has quieted
and matters generally are fast as
Stunning their normal condition. 1t
is believed that many of the threat
ening notices that were sent out last
week were the work Of individuals
who took occasion to endeaYOr to
brighten personal enemies from the
camp. In some instances the plan
is said to have worked successfully,
two or three Objectionable parties
having taken the hint and gone to
pastures new. The pretended effort
to discover and punish those who
lynched Murphy is said to have been
abandoned, the movers in the mat
ter evidently learning that any
earnest effort in that direction
would be extremely unpopular and
might prove serious for those en-
gagged in it. 1t is now thought that
the better element at the Park has
triumphed, and people are resting
in the belief that the trouble has
ended. Property owners and others
interested in the camp are feeling
better over the favorable turn mat
tiers have taken.

An ACKNOWLEDGED authority in
such matters, the London Lancet,
argues against overwork in the
education of children, declaring that
no growing child should be kept
longer than a half or at most three
quarters of an hour at one task, or
the same description of work. 1t
claims that this is about as long as
the attention of young children can
be steadily directed to one and the
same subject. A.teacher who can
fix and hold their attention for such
a length of time may well be sat-
isfed, and any teacher of experience
will admit that it is very difficult to
hold q child's attention over an
hour, to topic which, even when
presented at its best, is dull. The
writer in the Lancet claims that to
persist in his efforts after their at
tention begins to flag, has a tendency
to weaken the faculty rather than
to strengthen it.

GRAND ADVERTISEMENT.

President Villard's foreign guests
who are moving with him along the
Northern Pacific railway, are aston
ished by what they see and hear.
Such sights are impossible in their
own countries. The vastness of the
territory trayersed and its wonder
full resources and capabilities are
bewildering. For hours at a stretch
they are running through wheat
fields, and every twenty-four hours
they cover more ground than is
contained in any Of the countries
whence they came. The line of
railway is longer than any in Europe.
In a word, everything is bigger and
broader than the old world
knows anything of. This tour
will give the distinguished
visitors better idea of the yastness
of the United States than any
other trip that could have been
taken; and from no amount of read
ing could they have gained so
correct an impression of the I'M
mense resources of the young repub-
lie. Thesel wise men will leave
America with the firmly fixed idea
that out here in America is a
republic that must one day stand
at the head of the world as nation.
The resources, the foundation upon
which to build, are here; and these
are being developed and improved
50 rapidly as to astonish even those
engaged in the work. Mr..
Willard is doing a good
thing for his road. He
is displaying it in a way that
must make the capitalists Of the
old world whose money built it, feel
that their investment is as safe as
anything mundane can be; and is
making such a showing as will
enable him to borrow whatever he
may require in working out future
schemes. At the same time, Mr.
Willard is advertising the great
northwest as it has never before
been advertised. The trip is equiv
alent to bringing from Europe
thousands of farmers and mechanics
who willlocate along the line OF the
Northern Pacific, and while every
one enhances the value of Mr.. Vii
lard's property, he also adds to the
wealth, the greatness and the
strength of the nation.
