always produced satisfactory results.
Anew years ago the little bird known
as the house sparrow was brought here
from Europe for the purpose OF ex-
terminating various insects that are
injurious TO vegetation. Now the peo-
pie are calling for something tLat will
exterminate the house sparrow.
Several state legislatures have appro-
priated money to be used for encourage
ing persons to kill hawks that are
known TO be destructive to lambs and
young fowls. 1t was found when the
hawks were all killed off that they did
much more good than harm, as they
kept in subsection mice and other
vermin that do more damage than all
the birds that fly. BY concert of action
and the offer of rewards the farmers
of Central New York succeeded in
killing off nearly all the skunks that in
tested the region. But they soon found
that beetles were destroying their hops.
and they welcomed back the sl1unks.
The history of birds and animals may
be repeated with insects. After the
dragon fly has become so numerous
that ii has eXterminated the house fly
and the mosquito we may decide that
1t Is Il greater nuisance than the
English sparrow. Then some one will
discover that the house fly did most
important service as a scavenger, and
that the much abused mosquito did
good work in purifying water in pool S
and cisterns. Chic ago Herald.

HELEN HUNT JACKSON.

One dav az time! That's all it can be;
No faster than that is the hardest fate;
And days have their limits, however we
Begin them too early and stretch them
too late.
One day at time
1t s IA wholesome rhymel
A good one to live by,
A day at a time
One day at a time. Every heart that
aches,
Knowing only too we'll how long they can
seem;
But it's never to day which the spirit
breaks
1t is the darkeued future, without a
CLEAN.
One day at II time! What Joy is at hight
Such Joy as the heart can never forget
And pulses are throbbng with wild delight,
How hard to remember that suns must
set.
One day at a time But single day;
Whatever its load, whatever it's length;
And there's IA bit of scripture to say
That, according TO each, shall be our
strength.
One day at a time IT'S the whole Of life;
All sorrow, all Joy, are measured therein;
TIE bound of our purpose, our noblest strife,
The one only countersign sure to win!
One day at time
It's wholesome rhyme;
A good one to live by,
A day at time.

The Perpetual ObjeetOr.

Did the reader ever happen to live in
the same house with the logical objec-
tor? He is very wise person, is the
logical objector. His positions are I'M
answerable. He is one of the seven
men spoken Of by Solomon who can
render reason. And, what is more,
his reason is usually good one. Not
withstanding all this, the writer in
making his way through the world is
careful to keep as clear as possible of
this wise person. The logical director
is never weary. He is ready for you
at every turn. You propose, it may
be, TO set out violet root in a certain
spot. he will bring up at least half
dozen arguments for spot six feet
away. You suggest morning stroll.
He will make it as clear as daylight
that you had better attend to that little
matter of business this morning and
take the walk in the afternoon. You
stir up the evening fire. He will prove
to you by all the laws of physics that
you should have inserted the poker at
different point. Now, one may ac-
cept the wise conclusions of the objec-
tor, or he may resist them. But in
either case his life is made burden
to him. Nothing is more depressing
than to have the lightest suggestion
confronted by argument and discussion.
1t takes the zest out OF pleasure. 1t is
like the don't do this" and don't do
that which brings such q pathetic
usefulness and uncertainty to many
childish face. There are plenty of i'm
pulses in all our natures which must
be crushed-poor things! If there are
any at all that are innocent and admis-
sible, we beg you, dear objector, let
them now and then have their way

The Deaf Deacon Of Worcester.

Out in one of the Worcester county
hill villages there used to live, says
the Boston Transcript, and for all the
Listener knows lives still, a locally
prominent man and a pillar of the
church who was very deaf. He was also
very complacent man. One night
this man-Deacon Jones we may call
him-came into the prayer-meeting and
sat about gossiping little, all on his
own account, while he was waiting for
the meeting to begin. At last the meet
ing was opened by one of the brethren,
who knelt and began a prayer, but
Deacon Y. did not hear word.
'Well, said he presently, breaking
with loud voice into the others pray
err, IL guess we're goin' to have quite a
good meetin' after all, spite o. the
rainr'
The brother went on with his prayer
as soon as the interruption was over,
but Deacon Y. was memorable. After
waiting few moments longer he turned
halfway round and said:
well, brethren and sistern, we
might as we'll begin!n
The praying brother saw it was no
use and brought his prayer to a close
with a hasty amen" Meantime
Deacon Y. went on.

The congregation was on the qui

A thrill of horror went over the little
assembly as they waited for him to
speak more definitely.

Cure for Cramps.

A physician, in conversation with a
reporter made this statement: when

c-amp always advise him to provide
himself with a strong cord. A long
garter will do if nothing else is handy.
When the cramp comes take the cord,
wind it around the leg over the place
that is cramped, and take an end in
each hand aud give it a sharp pull, one
that will hurt little. Instantly the
cramp will cease, and the sufferer can
go to bed assured that it will not come
on again that night. This is an effect

To Exterminate Mosquitoes.

A New York physician has como to
the conclusion that the sting of the
mosquito is very injurious to the human
system, and that the common house fly
is the means of carrying the germs
that produce certain diseases from sick
persons TO those that are healthy. He
is convinced that tuberculosis and
ophthalmia are often transmitted by
the house fly, and he cites German
authorities TO prove that the mosquito
is the carrier of serious blood mala-
dies.
With spirit worthy OF procession
al philanthropist he proposes to exter-
inmate these two insects that cause so
much annoyance and transmit so many
diseases. His own observations have
satisfied him that the most efficient
agent for destroying them is the dragon
hy. He states that this insect, which
is sometimes known as the mosquito
hawk" will devour thirty or forty
house flies in quick succession and still
be as voracious as though 1t had been
fasting for n week. The Larvae of the
dragon fly also swallow undeveloped
mosquitoes Il uC plau Vi bhio uOCJOE
is to cause dragon flies TO be propagat-
Ell in such numbers That they will de-
YOUR all the mosquitoes and house
flies. He refers to the fact that most
kinds of fish, silk worms and bees have
been propagated very fast by artificial
aids, and he believes that some person,
most likely practical entomologist,
can construct piece of apparatus in
which the eggs OF dragon flies can be
Matched.
He has placed in the hands OF the
president of the American Museum of
Natural History the sum OF 5000, to be
paid by him in three prizes for the
best essays based on original OBJ
servations and experiments on the des-
truction of mosquitoes and flies by
other insects. 1t Is desired that these
essays shall be practical rather than
scientific, and that experiments be con-
Quoted with view OF ascertaining
which variety OF the dragon fly devours
the most flies and mosquitoes.

L'ENVOI.
Leon Monprat had for once perform
ed courageous action. AT imminent
risk he had sought and secured admis-
sion to the presence OF the victorious
and returning sovereign, and with ut>
ter forgetlulness of self, poured out to
him the history of his daughter and
her husband.
A stern lover of justice and
equity himself, the Prussian monarch
heard him with deep attention, and
moved by the story OF the mans pa
tient heroism and the girls long mar
tyrdom, he sent an order for the delay
of the sentence, until he himself had
inquired into its details. The order
would have come too late save for the
fact of Ninette's desperate sacrifice
and Bohmer's artful strategem. De-
termined 10 give his unfortunate friend
last chance of escaping his fate, and
with some mad superstitons idea that
heaven must interfere ere a sentence
so unjust could be carried out, he
had unknown to all, drawn the bull
lets from the muskets OF those soldiers
appointed to carry out the sentence,
and when the reprieve came Leroux
was saved, and Ninette had only
tainted from the shock Of the fear

Angry as the commandant was, he
could say nothing in the face of that
powerful mandate, and when Won
Brandstein heard of all that had oc-
Cured, and knew what the enquiry
that would follow might mean for him
self, he sent in his resignation and left
Berlin with all possible haste.
The fate OF PIERRE Leroux was soon
decided. What the king might not
have yielded 10 any persuasion, he
yielded to the lovely face and pitiful
entreaties of the girl-wife who had
suffered so deeply and so long. With
the conclusion of the war he gave them
permission TO return to their own
country, not even allowing OF ran
som.
Reunited, happy, safe, the long-tried
husband and wife once more found
themselves in their own home, with
the freedom and the peace, and the
sweet delicious sense OF liberty and
love alone filing their hearts.
Like an exile restored to his
birthright, so Pierre Leroux
Toasted his eyes on the waving
golden fields, the glad green dewy
earth, that had never seemed so full
of peace and beauty as it seemed
now.
Then his eyes rested on the fair
face beside him-on the deep lustrous
eyes from whence all shadow of suffer-
ing had departed, leaving only love!
Sweet as the light of day looked
the future before them, all the sweet

precious?" she asked, cl.nging yet
more closely to the arm she held.
And she was right; for there is no
love like that which rises victorious
over doubt and pain, and in the cruel
ty of despair, lives on and on, uncon-
quered and undismayed, to find its
paradise of joy even amidst the shad-
ows OF death!

They range from cancer down to chills,
And tackle grave and gay.
But one among them l detest
AS enemy or foe:
That common, cursed, cruel pest:
The bunion on the toe.
The shoe may be Waukunphast
The leather soft and fihe;
The very broadcast style of last
May furnish the design;
A silk or wooden SOCK may grace
A pretty foot just so;
But neither can whit efface
The bunion on the toe.
The poet Burns terms aching teeth
The hell of a diseases;
A little Wart the thumb beneath
A veritable tease is;
A felon makes one rather blue,
And fills the soul with woe;
But neither is Il marker to
The bunion on the toe.
A man may be millionaire,
A CrQSus ten times DER;
He may have jewels rich and rare,
And loving friends galore;
But oh. his heart will heavy be,
As life's sands ebb and flow;
The cause of all his misery:
The bunion on the toe.
