OF our best attorneys express the opin.
ion that we are no longer under local
option. as the five or six liquor laws
passed by the legislature have put the
whole liquor question in such a mud
die that Il man can hardly tell now
whether tits beer, whisky. brandy or
lemonade which he drinks under the
new code. The legislature passed a
liquor law. and then passed one to sup
plement, correct and explain it. Then
they passed 4 third Ole to explain
their explanation. Then it required
two more to explain and hemuddle the
other three, and now the lawyers are
getting good round and long fees for
explaining the FIVE or six different laws

was fast to the end of the tongue,
which was very fortunate for Mr.. s.

In New York, where Is said to be less
space relatively given to parks than any
other metropolis in the world, II results
that birds find 1t convenient to build their
nests and make their homes in many queer
places. By instinct birds seek the highest
buildings, that they may be as distant as
possible from the dust and noise of human
traffic. In the shelter Of the arm Of the
figure Of Justice, recently removed from
the city hall cupola, birds have for mum.
Der Of years made their nests. The top of
the tall Corinthian pillars Of the county
courthouse Is . safe refuge Of English
sparrows, and the nests remain undis.
turbed from year to year. Church
steeples are invariably haunted BY spar.
Ows. The hooks and crannies in those
elevated structures offer the safest refuge
Tor the rearing Of bird families. A
strange resting place for birds nest are
the crevices in the dead wall Of a brick
building, left by tho builder for the recep.
.ion of joist in an adjacent building to
be erected in the future. In the upper
part Of the city many buildings may be
seen tenanted on the outside by birds.
English sparrows don't cara in how noisy
place their nests are built. They seem
20 like to live in railway stations. In the
Grand Central Depot not long ago pair
Of sparrows built their nest exactly over
the place where the locomotives stop and
belch forth their smoke. One Of the EN-.

Birds which build nests in porches Of
city houses are not usually welcome, but
II is difficult to drive them away. When
they disappear in one season they are
pretty sure to return the next year. A
lady up town has front yard filed with
shrubbery, and year after year the same
sparrows persisted in returning to a tall
shrub near the porch. To drive the birds
away the lady placed under the caves Of
the porch some asarmtida. For several
days the bird and her mate were observed
to be very busy, and IL was soon discov.
cred that they had moved their nest, twig
by twig, to the opposite side Of the portico.
Then the lady gave up the contest, and
she now feeds the birds daily.
