The Damage This Pest Does to the Ar
riou1turai Interests.
Whatever doubt in regard to the wholly
injurious habits OF the English sparrow,
Passer domestica, may have remained In
the minds of the farmers and gardeners. il
must now be dispelled, when the mass u
facts are fully known which have b.seh
collected by the Department of Agricul.
ture, ana published in the report of 1886,
recently distributed.
The information on this subject in the
possession of the Department was OBJ
tanned in answer to circulars which it had
distr buted in all parts of the country.
Thirty-two hundred replies have been 70.
ceived.
The ravagcs of the English sparrow af

farmer, fruit grower and truck gardener.
and extend over the entire year. Indeed,
1t is safe to say tina; it now exerts more
marked effect upon the agricultural inter
est of this country than any other species
of bird; and its unprecedented increase anG
spread, taken in connection with the ex-
tent OF its ravages in certain districts, may
be regarded with grave apprehension. In
the early spring it prevents the growth OF
a vast quantity of fruit by eating the
germs from the fruit buds of trees bushes
and vines, of which the peach, pear, plum,
cherry, apple, apricot. current and grape
suffer most.
But it is not only the buds, but the fruit
itself, which is eaten, or mutilated $: ss 10

The report recommends to the legisla.
tive bodies of the various States and Ter.
litories the immediate repeal of ell exist
ing laws which afford protection to the
English sparrow, and the enactment of
laws legalizing the killing of the
English sparrow at all seasons OF
the year, and the destruction of its
nests, eggs and young, and other legisla,

birds by persons appointed for the pur.

Moving.
For . couple OF weeks before and

For couple OF weeks before and
after the first OF May the movin
mania prevails in an almost epidemic
form. At least, such is the case IL
New York.
Moving is an institution OF lon
standing 1t is not confined to famil-
les or individuals. but extends to ma
tons and races. The children of Is
rael furnish one of the earlist instances
of Wholesale moying, for what else was

Pharaohs hard heart. compared with
which adamantine lemon pie OF the
railroad lunch stand is soft and fabby.
SO they did the next best thing-they
moved themselves. bag and baggage.
Some people love to nave. To them
moving is more in the nature OF pas
time than anything else. There is,
for instance, man in one of the West
ern States who has moved SO often
that when covered wagon comes
near his house, his chickens all
march up and fall on their backs. and
cross their legs. ready to be tied aud
carried to the next stopping place.
House cleaning is dreadful inflctou
and is intimately connected with NOV

day Morning Journal, who seems to
have been there a time or SO.
says: ut is wise man who goes fish

Carl Pretzel, evidently another suffer-
er, says it is a fortunate thing for the
male sex that malaria is prevalent
about the time that moving and sprin
house cleaning set in. This hardened
sinner explains that the prevalence oil
malaria enables a man to pretend that
he is very sick. and thus escape the
torture incident to putting down car

The following little incident has 4
direct bearing on the same point:

The Quiet Stream.

Seven miles drove to find a stream
That leaped its rocks among;
But found only one that made
A little lulling song.
Der pebbly shadows soft 1t ran,
And In its quiet breast
The fresh-born beechen leaves Of May
Were mirrored and at rest.
Among fits little island stones
The water birds were gay,
And all the trees along the banks
Bent down TO see ii play.
And remembered her whose LIE,
So many years ago.
Beside my restless heart was wont
In quietude 10 flow.
Her voice was even, and her soul
Reflected love, and where
She moved in grace the hearts OF az
Bent down to look at her.
o happy hour in which thought
OF one so sweet and wise;
And blessed be the stream that made
Her memory arise.

THE TRENTON BATTLE MONUMENT


The Trenton Battle Monument pro
ject is progressing finely. The bill in
Congress appropriating $36, 900 for il
has passed the Senate aud is now pend.
ing in the House, where il would have
passed long ago had it not been for the
dead lock on the direct tax bill. The
citizens Of Trenton have raised about
$4,000, and when 81, 900 more is raised
the State appropriation of $50. 900 will be
secured, which will enable the Associa.
tion to draw $50, 600 from the National
Treasury, if the bill 10 Congress becomes
a law. The Trenton Battle Monument
project has an interesting history. A
society by the name of 1.-The New Jersey
Monument Association" was incorpor-
ated in 1884, for the purpose of securing
the erection of monument to commem-
crate the battle OF Trenton. All the
officers named then. with the exception
of Judge Scudder, are dead. 1t was
then proposed to erect plain, elevated
and durable brown stone obelisk, the
stone for which was to have been taken
from the quarry near the spot where
Washington and his army landed on the
east side of the Delaware, after periling
their lives in crossing through the float
ing ice Of that river. and marching amid
the darkness and storm of that memoir

OF the column, which was to rise about
Two hundred feet above the terrace sur

staircase was to lead to the top. Around

pERlLs OF PRACTICAL JOKING.

The remonstrance of the frogs in the
fable, that what was fun for the boys
was death to them, is particularly arpli-
cable to so called practical joking"
The victim of q harmless joke, if he be
sensible man, may often enjoy it in q
degree second only to the author there
of. But enjoyment at the expense of
another's suffering or danger is quite
another thing. The practical joker makes
himself simply a nuisance in society.
One of the most common smart tricks
is to phil chair out from under O per-
son as he is about to sit down. A prac-
tical joker recently tried this on man
in Brooklyn who fell, cut his hand in
falling and died from lockjaw. Some
years ago a couple of fellows thought it
would be funny to frighten young lady
who had never been known to feel fright
at anything. One of the men was her
brother, the other was her expected hus-
band and medical student They OBJ.
tanned q, skeleton, placed it in the young
lady's bed in the evening, and then
awaited results. 1t gave her such fear-
full fright that she remained transtixed
and speechless, glaring wildly on the
D1oAUy OOJCOb AACA ICubOi lCQ On bllt III
slant, and she has remained maniac. AS
the story goes, the brother committed
suicide and the lover was taken to a
luDatic asylum, where he will end his
days.
Another instance, with different re-
suit, happened in San Francisco. A
young man, to brighten two of his lady
friends who were alone at home one
evening. dressed up as ghost and made
mysterious noises about the house. The
girls took him for burglar and not Q
ghost, and ran to neighbor for help
The latter seized ali iron poker anc
dealt blow that cracked the ghost
skull and now the doctors are trying t.
prevent his becoming ghost in reality
This was a pretty severe object lesson
but it should help to teach practices
jokers common sense. A sudden frigh
is a pretty severe tax on the nervou
system of any sensitive person: and
will be q step in the right direction whe
all practical jokes and jokers are as re
lentlessly punished as pickpockets q
burglars. -Burlingto Free Press.
