Nowadays few educated young Indians

year 1864, when Hndoo Theism acquired a
new strength from the accession of the late
celebrated keshuh Chunler Sen into its
ranks, christianity has been losing all
charm for the educated In.ianS The mis-

To touch the lips that ns'er said may"

Sparrows for Food.

rne English sparrows are recon-
mended by the New York Experiment
Station as an excellentfood The same
recommendation has been previously
and frequently given in these columns,
and the suggestion has been made that
farmers boys should turn their ready
sho!-guns upon the to%o-abundant pests.
Sparrows are a regular article of con-
sumption in France; and travellers in
that country and in Germany may re-
call the small, clear, white c~loth-covered
stands in the markets, upon which these
birds, ready trussed orthe cook, are ex-
posed for sale in large numbers. In
what shape they appear on the table,
however, no traveller can probably tell;
for French cookery is well-know to be a
series of wonderful transformations. But
the American housewife may serve them
as quail on toast, roasted, fried, stewed,
or in pies; and, in short, in any way in
which a most excellent and well-havored
bird can be cooked. They may be made
a substitute for reed birds, for quail, and
for rail; but the country birds, which
feed upon wheat and other grains, are
here referred to, and not the city birds,
whose unclean food is rather an objec-
ton against any other use for them than
as food for cats.-N. Y. Times.
