WE have received from the department
OF agriculture, division of economic orni-
thology and maninalogy, massive vol
ume an inch thick and little less than n foot
square, devoted entirely To the English
sparrow. II would now he proper for tho
sparrow to succumb at once before this at
tack Zen masse" by Secretary Rusk, but 1t
IL well known that, like the British nj
Waterloo, the sparrow IN too stupid to
know when he is beaten. The administra-
tiQn has begun war upon the sparrow with
surprising and highly commendable vigor,
but when we contemplate a map of the
battlefield IL must be confessed that the
odds appear to he In favor of the enemy.
The volume is fitted with map of the
United States showing by raspberry col
ored spots and blotches the conouests of
the English sparrow ut the end of the
year 1886. From Central Kansas to
the Atlantic and from Northern Florida
to Canada there Is a solid raspberry blush
over the face of the land at the presence
OF the conquering sparrow. There is a
bloteh at san Francisco. another at Salt
Lake, and patch in Louisiana, while
little spots are scattered here and there
marking the outposts of the advancing
hosts. No wonder that the eminent or
nthologists in charge of this yolumnous
attack cry out in trumpet tones on page
ldi: 4" The English sparrow is curse of
such virulcncc that IL ought TO he syste.
maticaliy attacked and destroyed before il
becomes necessary to dcpleto the public
treasury for the purpose, as has been done
In other countries. 4" Then follow direc-
tions tor the prosecution of extermina-
ting by firearms, traps and poison.
This interesting book is prepared under
the direction of DIR. & Hart Merriam or
nithologist, by Walter Is. Barrows. We
will aid the cause by further notice.

burglar entered the house of John
Webher, in LA Crosse, Wis. ON Wednes-
day night through "A window in room
occupied by his two daughters, Kate and
Lena. The girls were awakened while the
robher was searching their clothing and
Lena, the younger sister, aged Is years,
attempted TO escape. she stumbled and
iell, and before she could arise she was
seized by the burglar who plunged a knife
into her body. The knife was pulled up
ward and deep cash about nine inches
long was cut, leaving exposed the heart,
lungs and intestincs.
The assassin then went to the bed and
made a thrust at the other girl, who man
aged, however To eNade the knife, The
family were aroused by the noise, hut the
burglar csc aped from the house. The en-
tire police force is at work on the case and
have made about 20 arrests of suspicious
characters up to noon. There is much ex-
citement and if the murderer is caught, he
VIII probably tie lynched. His victim is
expected to die at any momont.

II IL reported In the Pittsburg Chronicle
Telegraph that the Johns,own bureau Of
information, which has charge of tho regis
tration of the living and tho dead, IL de-
veloping startling results.
:" 1t was found that in some instances
large families have been registered as often
as -four times, and in this way thousands
of Implications have resulted. This shows,
on the most conservative figuring, that
1900 people In the towns and from 5000
TO 1000 in the suburbs have not registered.
OF course these people have not all been
lost, but a great percentage Of them have
been, and this is decided set back TO those
who have been putting the loss of lfc at
three or four thousand"
This IL rather loose guessing and the
public will prefer 10 await the report of the
chief of the bereau. Doubtless great
many of the saved fled from Johnstown In
horror without stopping 10 register,

superiors, and rare combination of nbil-
tiles Is demandcd Of the physlcians
in charge. A etudious, cd1scientious
physician, whose life he's been devoted
TO The alleviation Of n6iscry and The IN
cidental accumulation Of shekeIs, is
usually the last man to suspect sub
ordinate Of cruelty or harshness. When
the newspaper steps In and exposes
abuses right under his nose, he Is natur-
ally indignant and incredulous, and the
jury invariably sympathizcs with his
incredulity. The jury did so In this
case in surprising way. The judge had
taught them that the offense, II there
was any, was aggravated assault and
battery, but they simply found the
accused guilty Of assault and battery,
and some of them explained that even
this conclusion was only provoked by
the stupidity Of the keepers i'm denying
point blank all ofthe strongly supported
charges. The reasoning amounted to
about this : the charges are brought by
a newspaper, they reflect little upon
physicians, they must therefore I've cx-
aggcrated. The keepers deny too vigor-
ously evidence that Is irresistible, they
must I've lying.
This is highly complimentary to the
medical profession, and sad conlmen-
tary on the power of the press, but II
seems to III In with the cold facts.

A MODEL MODERN JURY.

A MODEL MoDERk JURY. Three weeks they sought in patience twelve
 jurymen to gain. Well qualified by ignorance and fertile lack of
 brain; Three weeks they challenged right and left nor
 found the men they sought, Devoid of mind, devoid of sense, and innocent of thought They sought tho perfect jury in which none
 could detect The least activity of mind or trace of intellect; And over tho empty jury-bo1 this legend did Leave ye all intellect behind, all ye who enter
 herer' The first man called was asked his ago; he
 paused as if in doubt. "Be quick, speak upP' the lawyer said, 'be.
 fore the century's out How old are youf Be quick, I sny!" II think, VI the man replied "Ah, that's enough" the judgc broke in. ''you are disqualified" They called the next man to the stand; he
 came up nothing loath; They asked him If he understood the nature oi
 onoath. II hardly know" the man replied; ''but yet
 'us my idoa-" "Ideas ideas!" the lawyer sneered. "are all
 boycotted hercv' The next was turned away because they
 thought they spied Il trace Of half-couccaled intelligence depicted in his
 face So they rejected ovory one, refused both great
 and small Some vestige of mentality disqualified then
 all. An idiot asylum superintendent then arose And said: IA plan, your honor, venture te
 propose. If you'll como homo with me tonight thinh
 you will succeed, And find among my idiots the very mon yor
 need."

In three years we shall reach the
four hundredth anniversary of an
event which has been pronounced
the greatest in human history-the
discovery of America, by Christopher
Columbus. The proper mode of cele-
brating this anniversary was recently
taken into consideration by the house
committee on foreign affairs. 1t ap.
proved plan for permanent exhibi-
ton under the joint auspices of the
forty-six states and territories, and
the sixteen independent nations OF
the American continent. To carry
out this plan, a national board of pro-
motion composed of the governors OF
the states and territories, mayors of
leading cities, and Of which ex-gov-
ernor William Claflin, of Massachu-
sets is the president, has been formed
to take the exhibition in charge.
Washington is peculiarly well fitted
to be the site of such a permanent ex-
hibition.

GEN. HoRATIo KING, formerly post.
master general, has been writing his
views on the question of the size a
mans income should be before he gets
married. 'It depends" he says, son
where he lives-in city or country
what his habits of economy, and above
all, whether or not he is sure of g
careful, economical wife. If he is all
right in these respects and has a
small capital, as he should have, to
begin with, he may be entirely safe
on an income of from S400 to 5000 a
year, and save something out of the
larger sum, provided no extensive
illness intervenes to prevent. They
should live frugally, denying them
selves costly entertainments, as we'll
as all luxuries, until fairly 'out Of the
woods"

The life insurance companies have
made of the question of longevity
almost determined science, with an
ample array of figures and rules. Ac-
cording to these the average man who
has reached the age of sixty has still
little less, and the average woman
who has reached the age of sixty a
little more, than fourteen years to
live. But the expectation of life does
not, relatively, diminish with the ad-
vance of years, for at eighty the mans
chance is somewhat less, and the
woman's somewhat more than five
years and a half.

How Men Die,

If we know all the methods of ap-
proach adopted by an enemy we are
the better enabled to ward off the
danger and pospone the moment when
surrender becomes inevitable. In
many instances the inherent strength
of the body suffices to enable it to op-
pose the tendency toward death.
Many however have lost these forces
to such an extent that there is little
or no help. In other cases little
aid to the weakened Lungs will make
all the difference between sudden
death and many years of useful life.
Upon the first symptoms of Cough,
Cold or any trouble of the Throat or
Luugs, give that old and wellknown
remedy-Boschee's German Syrup, q
carful trial. It will prove what
thousands say of it to be, the "bene-
actor of any home"
