English sparrows appear to be less
numerous than formerly in most of the
cities into which they have been intro
duced. Their decrease is attributed to
the shooting procIiyities Of the small boy
with the Alabama sling and to the fact
that the birds are beginning to be fond oil
country life. When they become plentl-
full in the fields and woods it may very
easily be determined whether they do
more good in the destruction Of insects
than they do harm to the crops. This ap-
pears still to be an open question.

was no chance OF my poor Philippa's re-
manning unaccused or unsupported OF the

A goodly number of persons haYe reaped
the advantage of DIR. Sadlers visit to Somer-
set the past week. A son of Mr.. VIM Maui
rer, Of Stoyestown, who had his eye severe
ly burned by lime four months ago, causing
the lid to grow fast te the ball and cover
two-thirds of the sight with thick skum,
had an operation performed by which the
lid was freed from the ball and the thick
skin covering il, cut away. Mrs. Elizabeth
King, of New Lexington, who has been
ncar-sighted all her life, and her eyes pain
full under use, was fitted with glasses that
made her see easier and palmer than ever
before in her life. Mr.. Lou A. Smith, the
well-known editor of the Meyersdale Com
naercial, was found to haye compound mixed
near-sight, each eye different. The Doctor
succeeded in adjusting glasses so that his
sight was more perfect than at any time in
his life. Mr.. Jonas Tedrow, of Glade. had
a tear-duct opened, and an artificial eye,
that his friends took to be the natural one.
inserted Half dozen different cases of
more difficult operations expect TO go to the
Doctors infirmary in Pittsburgh in the early
fall
