English sparrows.

1t has been said that the pugnacious
sparrow drives away our native birds,
but SO far as the writer's observation
goes the charge has little foundation
in fact. Others, too, have observed
a large number OF robins, bluebirds,
and chippies nesting in the neigbbor-
hood, and that they are not melested
by the sparrows. A pair of robins
selected tree near the sidewalk, not
over fifty feet from our front door,
and many times a day we see the
parent birds gathering their food
upon the lawn. and never once. there
or elsewhere, have we seen them dis
turbed BY sparrows. A bluebird has
a nest In house at a neighbours just
diagonally across the street, and a
chippy family of young in a tree only
q few rods to Ourleft, and never once
have we known of either being mo-
Tested. We believe the truth to be
that the numerous shotguns in the
hands of wanton destruycrs Of inno-
cent bird life, or in those who are
killing birds for the millions to dress
hats with, are responsible for the
wholesale destruction of native song
birds, or driving them away. more
than the ever present. active sparrow,
who ia so busily engaged in providing
for his own wants or those Of his lit
tie household, that he has neither
time nor inclination to war upon his
inoffensive neighbors.

A Boys Manners.

Ellis manners are worth a hundred
thousand dollars to him." This is
what one OF the chief men of the ma
tion lately said about a boy. The boy
was distant relative Of the man,
and had been brought up by careful
parents in far-off city. Among other
things, he had been taught to be
friendly, and to think Of other per-
sons before himself. The boy was on
a visit to the town where the man
lived. They met on the street, and
the younger recognizing the elder,
promptly went to his side and spok e
to him In his cordial way. OF course,
the man was pleased; any one would
have been pleased. The sentence
above was the outcome Of it. A little
later the boy came into the room just
as the man was struggling into his
overcoat. The boy hurried to him,
pulled it up at the collar. and drew

curious Railway Relic.

Among various trophies secured by
Chief Smith Of the Transportation
department, during his recent visit
to Europe, is small brass pocket
piece resembling an ordinary baggage
check, which is worth great deal
more than its weight in gold. 1t is
of octagon shape and on one side is
stamped the inscription IL. and S.
Railway" "Bagworth No. 29."p On
the opposite side the number is re-
peated. This fortunately preserved
relic represents the kind and form of
ticket in use In 1882 for "open car
riage passengers" on the Leicester and
Swannington Railway"
The distance covered by the main
line was trifie over sixteen miles.
and the passenger fares charged were
one and oDe-quarter pence per mile.
There was one class only, and passen-
gers stood up In an open carriage,
generally known as tub, which was
nothing better than high-sided
goods wagon, having no top, no seats,
no spring buffers. These brass tick
cts were used to the various stations,
the guard OF the train carrying a
leather bag something in the style OF
a collection box, having eight sepa-
rate divisions, one for each station.
At the end Of each passengers jour
.ney his ticket was taken UP and
placed IN the bag by the guard, to be
returned, recorded on the books, and
again used. Chicago Times.

KENTUCKY n1ountalneers.

In Mr.. James Lane Aliens inter-
esting book, @The Blue Grass Region
OF Kentucky" one chapter is devoted
to the inhabitants of the Cumberland
Mountains. They are abjactly poor
for the most part. AS the author
expresses it, "They appear to have no
sense Of accumulation" "In some
regions the great problem of life is to
raise two dollars and half during
the year for county taxes" Agri-
cultural methods are primitive. The
plow is "bull-tongue"-little more
than sharpened stick with a metal
rim. Formerly the digging of Sang"
ginseng, was one of the principal oc-
equations. Much of it was shipped
to China. The crop is now nearly
exhausted, although in some Of the
wilder regions whole families may
still be seen out sangin'."
The people took il into town in
bags, selling it at dollar and ten
perhaps dollar and a half
pound. This was mainly the labor
OF the women and children, who
went to work barefooted, amid bri-
ers and chestnut burrs, copperheads
and rattlesnakes. Indeed, the wom-
an prefer to go barefooted, finding
shoes a trouble and constraint.
1t was sad day for tie people
when the sang" grew scarce A few
years ago one of the counties was
nearly depopulated in consequence Of
the exodus into Arkansas, whence
had come the news that "sang" was
plentiful.
The dwellings--often mere cabins
with single room-are built Of
rough-hewn logs, chinked or daubed,
though not always. One mountain
.eer, called into court to testify
as to the household goods of a
defendant neighbor, gave in as the
inventory; A string of pumpkins,
skillet without handle, and wild
Bill A "wild Bill' is bed made
by boring auger- holes in log, driy-
Ing sticks into these, and OVERLAPPING
them with hickory bark and sedge-
gr2ss-a fayorite couch.
9 The low chimneys, made usually of
laths daubed, are so low that the
saying, inelegant but true, is current,
that you may sit by the fire inside
and spit out over the top. The
cracks in the walls are often large
enough to give ingress and egress to
child or dog
Naturally there is little desire for
education. The mountain schools
have sometimes less than half doz-
en- pupils for the few months they
are in session. A gentleman who
wanted coal bank opened engaged
for the work man passing along the
road Some days later he learned
that his workman was school teach
er who, in consideration of the seven
ty-fiye cents day, had dismissed his
academy.
Many of the people, allured by ru-
mors from the West, have migrated
thither, but nearly all come back
from love Of the mountains and in
2 disposition to cope with the rush and
vigor and enterprise of frontier life.
Theirs, they say, is good lazy
mans home.

Johnny's Pillow.

One day Johnny was taking walk
in the orchard with nurse.
He was hunting for berries, and
what do you think he found?
He found some big white eggs hid
den in the tall grass.
Johnny wanted to put the pretty
things in his basket and take them
home to mamma.
But nurse said
"No, no, come away, dear That
is nest. Hush! there comes the
old goose. She will sit on the eggs
and keep them warm, and by and by
she will have some pretty goslings. "
After that Johnny went with nurse
every day to take peep at the gray
goose sitting on her eggs.
She sat and sat good many days,
and then one morning when Johnny
went to look, sure enough, the gos-
lings had come!
They had no feathers on, and they
had long, ugly necks, and big feet.
Il don't like 'em," said Johnny.
The little goslings grew fast. They
had nice farmyard to live in and a
little brook to paddle in.
At night the farmer shut them uI
in the barn, SO that the cats and dogs
could not eat them up.
In a few days they were all covered
with pretty feathers
Then Johnny liked them.
BY and by the little goslings were
old enough to 60 with their father
and mother and aunts and uncles to
swim in big lake That made then
very, very happy.
Then they grew to be big geese, and
wore lot OF feathers, and Johnny
had pillow, which he enjoyed very
much, made from the soft down that
grew on their white breasts. Mrs.
