No Sinner.

Two children belonging to family in
Hartford were forbidden to visit the
children of a clergyman because it was
supposed that there were enough chill
dren in that family to make up goodly
quota for the playground. One after
noon one of the clcrgyman's boys climb
ing upon the fence shouted out: Come
over here and play with mel"
"a can't" replied the younger of the
invited two, ''mothcr says there's enough
children in your yard"
"Oh, p,haw! come along" 81 don't
believe mother will care very much" I"
said the older, and he begun to scale
the fence. He was interrupted by his
younger brother with this bit of Scrip

"When sinners entice thee, consent

''Don't you call me sinner" came

ber Of the community of Faithists at
Shaiam, N. NJ. In recent letter he
lays down the broal proposition that
nine. .tenths of all the crime and disease
in the world is due to the human stom-
ach. Keep the stomach undetilcd with
meat, especially free from the flesh OF
the swine, and there is hope that a man
may live up to his highest aspirations.
This is the doctrine which the FaithistS
are trying to enforce practically in thcil
colony, but the result thus far has not
been encouraging. -Health and Home.

Human Sacrifice i'm India.

A recent occurrence in Rajpootana
shows the hold that ancient supersti-
tions still have among the natives. Some
years ago the native states of Oodcypore
and Tonk, with view to simplifying
their boundaries, exchanged certain viii
lagos near Nccmuch. In this process q
village inhabited entirely by Brahmns
passed from Oodeyporc to the Nawab of
Tonk. This village had been granted
in perpctuity TO the Brahmins by a
former Mahsrana of Oodeyporc, subject
only to the nominal annual fee of twelve
rupees for protection. After the ex-
change the Tonk authorities imposed a
revenue assessment, which was raised
from time to time till it reached 500
rupees annually. Successive deputa-
tions of the villagers proceeded to Tonk
to lay the case before the Durbar but
without effect. Thereupon the Brah-
minis assembled and decided by the
voice of all present, women as well as
men, that nothing was left to move the
Durbar except the human sacrifice
known as "Johur." Four women pre-
sented themselves as victims, but at the
last moment two became frightened and
withdrew. No opposition being offered,
the other two went bravely and willing
ly to meet death, and were burned tc
death in the presence of the assembled
community, their charred hands being
afterward carried by the villagers tc
Oodcyporc with ademand for redress.
This occurred few weeks ago. and al
midday, no attempt at conccalment be-
ing made. --AUahabad Qndia) Pioneer.

The Wind.
The wind blows over the sea,

The wind blows over the sea,
Blowing homeward the bulky ships;
The land looms under the sailors lea,
And he dreams of his swee hearts lips
The wind creers over the wave,
1t stirs the pines by the deops,
1t sweers the grass Oh the quiet grave
Where the sailors sweetheart sleeps.
The wind sweeps over the sand
OF the descrS so hot and bright;
1t heaps the grave of the Arab band;
1t covers the srhynx from sight.
The wind brcathes laden with balm,
1t wrinkles tho face of the pool,
1t lifts the leaves of the lazy palm,
As the night desccnds so cool.
The wind walls over the snow
And ice of the virs gin zone,
Where half the year tho great stars glow,
And the white bear sits alone.
The wind circl S over the own;
1t swoops on the houses for prey,
1t lifts them aloft and hurls them down,
As eagles snatch lambs away.
The wind rustles over the plain
or the cmigrantS boundess home,
1t heavcs the waves Of the wheaton main,
Aud the grass where the bulfaloes roam.
The wind sweeps the ruinous wa to,
Where wanders the big horned OK,
And pilgrims to Peters great dome haste,
And shepherds pipe to their fiocliS.
o, thou un:am1ble winll
Though mortals may quench the fire,
And the waters violence bind
They cannot e cape thine ire.
o, thou beneficent wind!
As Adam first blessed thy breath,
The last man shall confess thee kind,
As he lies awaiting death.

The sparrow Pest.

Determined war has not been waged
against English sparrows in this State,
but in Pennsylvania, and perhaps two or
three other States, bounties arc paid for
their heads, so much hundred. Boys
made ample pocket change for time
by the use of rubber slings and blowguns,
but boy-likc they soon grew tired of the
sport of wholesale murder of the little
birds, and the sparrows, left to them
selves, continued to increase with re-
markable rapidity. Statistics on this
point are interesting. The newly orgeS
lied division Of economic ornithology
of the Department of Agriculture is
preparing series of bulletins upon the
relations of several common species of
birds of this country to agriculture.
Among the bird pests which threaten
destruction to valuable branches of farm
ing DR.. Merriam, the head of the division,
places the English sparrow as chief.
This little creature has so multiplied and
developed among its new surroundings
as to have become vastly greater
scourge than the caterpillars and worms
it was expected to destroy. Its present
rate of increase is enormous and the
new territory which it invades is esti-
mated at more than 13O, 900 square miles
annually. 1t is essentially town bird,
but it takes long vacations in the fruit
growing seasons and "wreaks its
fastidious appetite" upon the largest and
juiciest of grapes and the dainticst of tree
fruits, in which work of destruction its
aggregate of damages is almost incompu-
table. York Tribune.

For Sore Throat,

Every one has cure for soro throat,
but simple remedies appear to be most
etfcctual. Salt and water is used by
many as garglc, but little alum and
honey dissolved in sage tea is better. An
application of cloths wrung out or hot
water and applied to the neck, changing
as often as they begin to cool, has the
most potency for removing Inflammation
OF anything we ever tried. 1t should be
kept up for number of hours. During
the evening is usually the most con-
venient time for applying this remedy
