y friend Of the sparrow states that
undoubtedly in some districts the little
birds do great deal of damage, and
should not be allowed to multiply be-
You'd certain limits. On the whole.
however, this prosecuted bird is one of
the best friends both To the gardener
and farmer. A calculation has been
made that pair of sparrows destroy
nearly 1000 caterpillars per week, be-
sides other insects, when rearing their
young. When cock-chafers abound,
which happens periodically, they would
become Il perfect pest but for the spar
row. 1t is true the rock destroys an
immense quantity, yet it should be re-
membered that the despised sparrow
has access to gardens and other small
enclosures. The sparrow also destroys
one of the greatest pests. the common
house fly.
The writer Of this is a tariff reformer
He would entirely remove the duty on
every article OF. necessity, the produc-
ton OF which does not conflict with
American labor. lie would increase
the duty upon everything that we can
produce at home. in sufficient quantl-
ties to supply home demand to such an
extent as to practically prohibit impor-
tation. lie would have the duty upon
foreign articles of luxury so graded
that, taken with the tax upon alcoholic
beverages and adulterated commodities.
it would produce sufficient revenue for
all government purposes. The scheme
seems practical and its adoption would
inaugurate period Of prosperity, the
like Of which this nation has never
known. One trouble with our present
tariff system is that il is not elastic
enough. The scale should he more cas-
lily changeable. The question should be
placed in the hands of a non-partisan
commission, similar to the interstate
commerce commission. whose duty it
should be to regulate the tariff as Occa-
sion seemed to require, with the prOtec-
tive principle always in view. Then if
American invention discovered means
TO produce some article for which we
hitherto depended upon foreigners,
protect it at once. and not subject our
selves to years Of delay in so important
a manner while awaiting the slow ac-
! ton Of congress. Reform the tariff,
certainly, but with an eye single to the
protection of American citizens and
the exclusion of foreign comp tition.-

As the spring advanced, Brace turned
his eyes daily to the mountain tops. On
the first of May he said he would have a
day or two off, and Jest have a look
round at things"
On the seventh he returned.
1.-THE times COME he said; ''the snow
is goin' away sharp, and the rocks is al
ready squittering down, but glory be, the
holes open. All we're got to pray for
now is that the Kid IL listen to the voice
of reason. Leave her to me!''
AS we were sitting at the table he said,
in casual way:
81 was up to my old lot in Petersville
for bit of refresher during my little
holiday, sir; and you're no idea how nice
the old place do look. Now, supposin'-
as we amt got NARY blessed thing to do
for the next week, we kinder take look
around arter that stone we used ter think
such lot of-jest for curiosity like
hey? The Kid used ter make fine TODD
about bein' good when she was sick; do
you feel like it now, my gelf'
Lola turned deadly pale, and was silent
for moment, then lifting her eyes to
mine, she stretched her hand out, and,
as l took it, said:
81 am ready"
We made our preparations that after
noon, and took the night train from San
Diego to Canyon River, where we put up
for the night. In the morning we took
the stage to Great Canyon City-a de-
serted mining town at the foot of the
Sierra. After lunching at the only hotel,
we tried mules, and, leaving the valley.
assembled the mountain path.
Water streamed freely down the noun
tain path upon the lower slopes; but our
difficulties only commenced when we
reached the line where the half-melted
snow made the rocks treacherous even to
the feet of the sure mules. We had four
hours Of terribly rough and dangerous
travelling before we reached PeteTsville

shanties / ever saw.

Naturally they were astonished when
they heard l had been in the state a
couple of months. When told them 1
had come there to seek my fortune, and
was farming in the south, where hoped
they would come and stay with me dur
ing the winter, Brace said:
"Well, hear there's Twin to be made
ranchin', but it's plaguy long row, they
do say. Howsoever, it won't be none too
long for me to hoe along of you, and SO
be you're agreeable to havin' our COM
pany, it amt likely I'll hold off,"
Lola's eyes dilated with eager delight.

turn of the Transvaal times, the happi-
est she had known, when rude necessity
knit us together in close companionship.
/ did not think it necessary to undeceive
them then, and the next day took them
with me TO San Diego. The sun was shin.
ing when we got there, aud the air was
soft and warm; it was like an early day
of English summer.
The effect on Lola was miraculous; she
seemed inspired with new life. 1 had
never seen her so animated and gay.
Her countenance fell as we passed
through the beautiful plantations and

drawing back, said in wonder, as she

Hearing her voice, Brace came in from
the next room.
"Say, now, what did l tell your" he
exclaimed. 1.-THE Kids took it into her
silly little head as she wouldn't see you
no more, sir"
''She will see good deal of me, if l
have my way" said, holding out my
hand to Brace.
His countenance changed, he dragged
his chin tuft thoughtfully for minute,
then turning to his daughter, he said:
"Lola, my gel, we must have it out
now, straight off. Here's Gentleman
Thorne holdin' out his hand to me, and l
amt no right to take it till you let on

"Not now-not now" she said, be-

"No, my gel; faint to be put off like
it was dose of physic. See here-see

Thorne refused to give me his hand-for

Sacramento, telling Sir Edmund that
Lola had taken the Great Hesper, and
intended to restore it as soon as the snow
had melted and allowed us to reach the
cavern in which it was concealed. In
answering this letter he wrote:
"After reading your good news, Edith
and went for a stroll through the park,
where we encountered poor Van Hoeck,
whose woe-begone appearance appealed
once more to Edith's heart and mine also.
Why she asked, should we any longer
treat him as a possible scoundrel, now
that the Braces admit having taken the
diamondY We turned back, overlook
Van Hoeck, and told him what had hap
pened. The poor wretch was overcome
with emotion, not because of the possible
recovery Of the lost diamond (of which
he entertains strong doubt, but in being
once more treated as an honest man."
Now did Van Hoeck deserve to be
treated as an honest man? That was the
question. Twill give here Braces account

Bait for Catching Goldfish.

Goldfish are now taken at all seasons Of the
year. The gear used is the same as
that used in ''haddocking," though a few
vessels out of Provincetowp fish with single
lines, one man to a dory. These are called
hand liners But q popularity Of cod fish
ing is that this noble fish will only be taken
with ''seasonablen bait. During tho winter
many vessels are engaged in the purchase Of
frozen fresh herring in Canadian ports for
the supply of Quitting codishers here, orthe
Boston, New York and Philadelphia markets.
But in summer all codfisbers must put into
New Foundland ports for fresh bait. The
herring can be used until June. Then the
caplin, q fish about the size Of the smelt, be-
gins running, - and this must be used. Then
follows the squid, Of the cuttletish family.
which provides bait along during the fall,
until herring are again available. The col
