War on the English Sparrow.

In view of the overwhelming evil
dence against the sparrow, the Agri-
cultural Department recommends
the repeal of all existing laws which
afford protection to the Englishspar-
row, the enactment OF laws to legal
ize the killing of the bird at all sea-
sons of the year, and the destruction
of it's nests, eggs, or young; the en-
actment of laws making it a INSIDE
meanor to give food or shelter to
the bird, and to protect those birds
which feed upon the sparrow, and
the appointment of some officer in
each town or village to destroy the.
sparrows in the streets, parks and
other places where the use of fire.
arms is not permitted. The offering
of bounties for the estruction of the
birds is not regarded by the Depart
ment as expedient.
To the general public the Depart
ment recommends intelligent, per-
sistent and united efforts to exter-
inmate the pests by the use of fire.
arms, traps. poison, destruction of
nests, disturbance atroosting places,
and any other practicable method
that can be devised. Special atten-
ton is called to the fact that the En-
glish sparrow is an excellent article
of food, equaling many of the small
er game birds. In fact, the sparrow
is commonly sold at restaurants I'M
der the name of ''rice birds.'

The Drummer's Ruse.

A short time ago a drummer from
abroad called at a Bangor livery
stable and wanted a double team for
a ten days trip into the country,
and the stable man refused to let him
one on the ground that he was a
stranger. There was much discus
sion over the matter, and finally the
drummer said:
"What is your team worth?''
-Four hundred and fifty dollars"
was the reply.
eff / pay you that sum for it, will
you buy it back again when I re-
turn" asked the customer, and up
on receiving an affirmative reply, he
promptly put up thecash. Ten days
later he returned, and driving into
the stable, he alighted and entered
the office, saying, SWELL, here is your
team, and now I want my money
back
The sum was passed to him and he
turned and was leaving the place
when the liveryman called out,
Look here, aren't you going to set
tie for that team?'
ssFor what team" asked the drum
mer, in surprised tone.
For the one you just brought
back
