A correspondents OF the Listener, who
writes from Jamaica Plain is a close OBJ
server OF the sparrow. "a week or two
since" ho writes, las ! wGs passing
through Burrough street. my attention
was attracted by loud cries of 'cawi cawl,
and / saw wheeling and turning in the
air two crows, who were followed or
chased by two sparrows. The sparrows
were evidently trying to reach ard
alight on the backs Of the crows. The
cries of tho crows soon brought others
who joined in the fight, all wheeling,
,ducbing, rising and turning together,
the sparrows continuing the chase not
withstanding tho increasing numbers.
BY this time there was eight or ten
crows in the fight all aiding in the out
cries. 1t was evident, however, that the
.sparrows could not sustain the fight
They were falling behind; and II one of
tho other crows came nearer than the
one they were chasing, they left tho
first and endoavored to alight on the
nearest. At this time loud cav was
heard from magnificent crow high in
the air coming from the lSouth, who
joined the others. But the contest had
ceased, the sparrows had given up the
chase. The crows gathered themselves
together. and. under the lead Of the last
conner, departed in a southerly direc-
,uon, fifteen in number. The sparrows
are charged with fighting and chasing
away our native birds. This is the first
I Nf ~ nd a
tainly showed great pluck on the part OF
the sparrows.
Too much pluck, perhaps considering
its results The sparrows certainly do
drive away other birds-and then they do
not eat the insects that the other birds
would have eaten, unless they can't get
any thing to eat around the houses and
streets. 1t is also provable that English
sparrows eat caterpillars. It Is
also provable that hens eat
shoestrfngs; but they will not eat
them If some body will feed them better
food
The same correspondent tells this
story: Two or three years ago the
sparrows had troubled me by building
their nests on top of the conductors, un-
der the caves of the house. l accord
ingly caused their nests to be removed,
and covered the places with wire
netting oprevent farther access to them.
Some little time after noticed an ap-
,parently continuous fight of sparrows
to one of these covered places. On ex-
animation l found two spar
rows imprisoned therein, and
the outside sparrows busy bringing them
food. 1t seemed tho wire netting had
not been closed at the bottom, and these
birds, having gone inside, did not know
how TO release themselves, and but for
the aid of their follows would have been
starved to death. set them at liberty
and closed the aperture, since which
have not been troubled by their nests.
How long those birds had been fed by
the outsiders l know not; apparently
they had been imprisoned several days
il not weeks. .''-Boston Transcript.

Tho Inhnhitnnts of cheese.

Mr.. Adametz has just made some
microscopic researches upon tho miero-
scopic organisms that inhabit cheese.
From an examination of Emmenthal,
soft variety OF Gruyere cheese, he has
obtained the following result: In each
gramme of the cheese, when fresh, from
90. 900 to 100000 microbes are found.
This number increases with time. Thus,
a cheese seventy-one days old contains
500, 900 bacteria por gramme The pop
ulation of soft cheese twenty-five days
old and much denser than the preceding
is L. 200, 0O0 and that of cheese forty
five days old is 1000, 900 microbes per
gramme. But the population of a cheese
is not everywhere distributed the same
in it. The center is but moderately in
habitod with respect to the exterior
portion. The population of soft cheese
near the periphery, is from 5000, 900 to
5, 900, 900 microbes. According to the
mean of these two figures, there are as
many living organisms in three hundred
and aixty grammes of such cheese as
there are people upon tho earth.-La

BABY'S DIET.

He Swallowed the Entire Contents of a
York Basket, and Still Lives.
Leo. the 11-months-old baby Of Os-
car M. Spurrier, registrar of Mount
Airy Md district, swallowed number
of needles, pins, buttons, etc, Saturday
morning, while Mrs. Spurrier was doing
her usual cleaning up for Sunday. About
10 o'clock she placed the little fellow in
an adjoining room on the floor to play
while she did her work. She gave him
glance quite often to see that he did
not get near the stove. She saw that he
was quiet and contented beyond the
table, and considered him quite safe
from harm. She did not notice that he
had pulled off the table spread, with the
sewing basket on it,
The little fellow swallowed paper, but
tons, tacks, and even took pins from "a
paper and swallowed them without com
planning. The mother later on discov-
cred what had been done. She examined
his mouth and found nothing in it, and
felt sure that he had not swallowed any
thing until about 9 o'clock in the after
noon, when the child cried with pain
and emitted from its mouth number Of
buttons and pins. DR.. Ben Todd was
Immediately sent for, but could not do
anything much beyond giving an ernetic

fellow emitted sixty-six various articles.
They had to keep moving the little fell
low constantly, and he bore the pain
heroically, scarcely crying. At o'clock
next morning he was quietly sleeping.
Here is a list of the things he swal-
lowed: eighteen pins, four needles, eight
tacis (tinned), seven wads or particles of
paper, two wads or particles of muslin,
eight china buttons, one vest button,
four pearl buttons, one shoe button, one
piece of bark, five pieces of cork, one

New York Sub Postoflices.


Ask almost any retail druggist what
commodity he has the greatest demand
for and the chances are he will say,
postage stamps" Women have no
patience with a drug shop that does not
keep postage stamps on sale. This fact
is pretty widely appreciated by retail
druggists, and many drug shops in this
city enjoy the not very lucrative distinc-
ton of being sub postoffice stations. The
busiest drug shop postotfice is in Forty
second street, opposite the Grand Central
station. II was established about year
ago, chiefly through the instrumentality
of ex-Postlnaster General Thomas l.
James The Lincoln bank, of which
Gen. James is president, is only a few
rods away, and the close proximity of
the railroad station and three or four
large hotels makes this particularly
lively district.
For furnishing room, rent and serving
as deputy postmaster, Mr.. f. w. Schoon-
maker is allowed by the postoffice de-
partment the munifcent sum of $500 per
annum. Postmaster Van Colt has rec
commended that this allowance be in
creased. An official statement of the
business done at this sub-station Q4) in
the year ended Jan. 1, shows that S41 ,6S2
worth of postage stamps were sold,
ST., 207 of money orders were issued, and
159,397 pieces of third and fourth class
mailing matter were received During
the holiday season the place was almost
showed under by packages brought there
to be mailed. Two days before Christ
mas the drug business had to be practi-
cally abandoned, and all hands in the
shop turned in to work for Uncle Sam

Dancers are much interested in the
programme laid out by the recent ma
tional convention of dance teachers.
First on the list is the Assembly Gavotte.
1t is danced to galop music, and is in
tended to open a small and early" in
place of the promenade or grand march.
Any number may participate, and the
figures include rapidly changing circles,
spirals, horseshoes, squares and polygons.
Among the round dances approved by
the masters are the Oxford, a sort of
schottische; L'Eclaire, done to galop
time; the Portland, combining polka and
waltz steps, the Mettlesome and the
Vienna. OF all the novel dances that
await public approval the Bizarre and
Fascination. both waltzes, are most like
ly to be Endorsed. The latter is intricate
and graceful, while the Bizarre is spir-
tied. Only two square dances were ac-
cepted by the convention-the Elite
Lancers and the Melange Quadrille =
