And waited ion ana patiently

And lol behind the door
The sleepy-man had caught them both,
And aid them on the floor.

Australia is so anxious to be rid Of. A
miller caterpillar. indigenous to this
climate, was found to be destroying
slle trees in the, parks, besides being a
nuisance in consequence of its proper
sitv to hang from the trees by a web
like thread. Persons passing under tine
trees were Liable to have the crawling
creatures drop down their necks or
upon their clothes. and some remedy
were sought tc.rid New York of these
pests. A foreigner suggested the i'm
portation of few sparrows. Seventy
five pairs were brought over from the
Old World, but the severe winter which
followed killed. the birds. A seeossd
attempt was INSIDE. and every one. was
asked to care for the little creatures
and bald sparrow houses. This was
done and the sParrows were saved the
next winter. The young broods raised
in the country were soon able To take
care Of themselves. 1t did not take
long for the asslimated foreigners and
their descendants to migrate. and now
they are found all over the. Csited
