Of our streets and CUTTERS" Is this
bird really scavenger, a remover of
filthP 1t Is true he is active in pick
ing the undigested grains and particles
Of food from the horse droppings of
onr streets, but instead of removing
any filth he actually spread it, and dis
tributes it over a greater surface. 1t
seems to me he might better be called
distributor aud deposition of filth. I
know of no active bird that deposits SO

our sidewalks.

number of years and found his winter

III allowed TO breed and multiply in
any place, the sparrows soon reward
for their kindness by stripping every
thing in the shape of grain from the
haulms for a rod or SO next to the
fences or hedges. They can get
through small hole into the granary
on the farm, and help themselves to
the grain and build their nests in every

everything. For change OF diet

which is now stamped upon all gold
and silver coins of the United States,
was suggested by an old farmer living
In Maryland. This conscientious

way the Christian character of oul

best done by putting motto upon

S. p Chase was Secretary of the

Producing the motto at once, but
Congress gave the suggestion no at,

ferred to the matter, this time in
firm theological argument, saying
"The motto suggested, God Our

hymn, The Star-Spangled Banner;'
the sentiment is familiar to every
citizen Of our country; the time is

IL used to be jestlngly said that the

British exporters to Morocco, it
seems, have been accustomed to
place Arabic Inscriptions on their

been given will be seized by the gov

the pracl ice of inscribed goods des-

quests amounting to about 5000, 900,
and yet some people complain that
LAS sum Is Insignificant. We think
Nh Astor must be deemed the better

sen. Among them are the Home for

$4,000. 1t is pretty safe to assume
that about half the reported value OF

the amount reported, and it is quite
certain that he took nothing away
with him.
