THE CUNNING SPARROWS.

Once there we're some Cunning sparrows who
hired number Of Cock Robins and Jenny Wrens
to take care of their grape-vnes, promising to pay
them in corn. But when the time came for the
wages to be given, they gave to every Cock Robin
twice as much, or onethird as much again as they
did to the Jenny Wrens. Now when the Wrens
saw this, they demonstrated and said. s'Please,
Mr. Sparrows, why do you pay us less than our
brothers? We have worked as manyshours as
they have, and as faithfully as theyand we are as
hungry las they are, SO why should we not have as
much corn?" But The sparrows said, in a supe-
rior manner: "You have no red feathers, and
therefore we shall not pay You as much, Besides,
the corn il n ours, and you ought to be thankful
that we paysyou any Of it. =
Then the Jenny Wrens went sadly away ,eand
thought what grand thing it was to have red
feathers, and how hungry they were

JACK FROST'S LITTLE SISTER,

This morning when all the rest had gone down,
stood by the wndowto see
The beautiful pictures which there in the night
Jack Frost had been making for
There mountains and wind mills and bridges and boats
Some queer looking houses and trees,
hammock that swung by itself in the air,
And a giant cut off at the knees.
Then there a steeple so crooked and high
was thinking it surely must fall
When right down below 1t | happened to spy
The loSelest thing of them all Is
The cutest and cunningest dear little girl,
looked at her hard as could;
And she stood there dainty and looked back at me,
In little white ulster and hood.
"Good mornng.I whispered, for all in q flash
knew twas Jack Frosts little sister,
] was so glad to have her come visiting me,
reached up quite softly and kissed her.
There i-can you believe it?-the darling was gone
Killed dead in that one little mnute
never dreamed that kiss would do that,
Nor could there be any harm in It,
But am sorry for though have looked
Fifty times at that window since then,
Half hoping to see her more, yet | know
She can never come back again.
And 1t may be foolish, but all through the day
Ihave felt-and knew that should
just as If had kiliedher that dear baby girl
Ina little white ulster and hood.

Counting all the churches and missions given in
the directory Protestant Catholic and Jewish
there are in Chicago 304 places for the worship of
God. Many Of this number are open not over
once a week. A fair average would be three
times week. Thus:

From thes directory again, we find in Chicago
about $500 saloons. Allowing rs feet frontage
to each, they would line Madison street from the
river to Garfield park on both sides with solid
row of saloons and have at least 8 miles of 'front.'
age left, or over is miles of saloons. Each one is
open on an average not less. than IS hours day,
days in the week. 18 hours multiplied by

Agentleman of our acquaintance, who

kind enough to tell us tie other day how
he managed to keep Irish potatoes from
spelling, something hard to do in this
latitude, He now has on hand Irish po-
tatoes gathered las. fall that are Just as
wholesome as the day they were dug,
should carefully be taken to a shady place
and not be left in. the sun longer than
few minutes.. Care should be taken
not to bruise them. He spread his as
soon as gathered on the floor of an old
house where they could get plenty of air
but no spn. They were two OF three in
ches deep, ON the floor During the cold
est weather we had this winter he put
some straw on them to protect them
from the cold. 1t is 10 trouble to raise
Irish potatoes, but it has been trouble to
keep them from spoiling. If our friends
follow the exarpls Of the gentleman
spoken Of in this item, TO doubt they will

A Suicidal Policy.

There is policy and spirit pursued
by some of or business men and county
officers that if continued in will rebound
to their discredit ara the downfall Of
their county paper. That is, sending
their printing to distant towns and even
distant States when such work can be
done here at home as neat and expe
diciously as elsewhere In the past
eighteen months there has been at least
two thousand dollars paid oil. to for
eign establishments for printing of
blanks, letter heads and records for the
county-a good portion of which could
have been done here at home just as
well as elsewhere Who IS benefited
by this policy, not the county, because
the money is sent from the county rever
to return, and higher prices paid for
this work ii. many Instances than would
have been charged for here at home.
Who does all the free printing tor your
town and county, complimentary no.
tees Of deaths, marriages, public i'm.
prevements, personals Of county off.
GERS in the discharge OF their duty? the
home paper. How is it paid for his =
by beng used as cats paw TO pull the
chestnut ont fof the fire. Your home
paper gets all the free work to do, and
foreign Offices get all the job work that
there is any money in. These are facts
plainly stated. This is one cause that a
printing Office can not be made self sus-
taining here. ), rr
GiYe your home enterprises tt show
ing, haye q home pride in home affairs,
sustain your home Office by offering it
what printing you have to 90 in the
same quantity. that, you would do if
sent from home. Then, and not till
then can You expect 10 have self sus-
taining paper at home.

The sTueeoRN INDIANS.

They Still Stand Firm In Their Determine.
tion Not to Sign the Treaty.
STANDING Rock Agency, Oak, Aug. a.
There is no change in affairs at the agency.
Many of the Indians were absent at the con-
ference yesterday, and Chairman Pratt
asked the four chiefs where the absentees
were He reminded the chiefs that they
said they represented all of the Indians. II
so, why did they not have their tribes pres
emit The chiefs answered that some Of the
Indians were very tired of standing in coun-
Gil and were resting in their camps, while
others were hunting for their horses, which
have strayed away. Sitting Bull has not
spoken TO the commissioners, but he made
speech TO the indians in council advising
them to come to an understanding at once
and get back TO their farms, as their crops
are suffering while they are kept at the
agency.
To questions asking them ifithey believed
the Secretary of the Interior or the COM
missioners were lying TO them the Indians
made no reply, but persisted in talking
about the treaties of 1858 and 1875 The In
dams took the treaties of 1868 and 1873 to
their camps and held big council last night.
IL is thought that they will come 10 final
decision, and that to-day may end the con-
ference. Yesterdays conference lasted but
two hours, and the commissioners adjourned
until to-day at nine O'Clock Until yesterday
there was no hope of having the Indians
sign either for or against the treaty, but it
now looks as though they will sign in the
negative

lnteresting and Instruetive.

An immense terrestrial globe, con.
structed on the scale OF one-millionth.
will be shown at the Paris eSJhibition OF
1889. A place will be set apart for 1t a,
tho center OF the Champ dc Mars. The
globe will measure nearly thirteen
meters in diameter, and will give some
idea of real dimensions, since the con-
ception OF the meaning OF million is
not beyond the powers Of the human
mind Visitors TO the exhibition will
see for the first time on this globe tho
place really occupied by certain known
spaces, such as those Of great towns.
Paris, for instance, will barely cover a
square centimeter. The globe will turn
on its axis, and thus represent the
movement of rotation Of the earth. The
scheme was originated by NM. /. Vii
lard and G. Cotard, and II has been
placed under the patronage OF several
eminent French men of science La
