SERN AND HEARD.

1.-THE English sparrows, that have be-
come so numerous in this country, are de-
cided nuisance, and something should be
done to destroy the saucy little pests"
said market man TO HERALD reporter.
II think the best way to get rid Of them is to
eat them. Snowbirds are popularity known
10 be very good food, and SparrOws are
quite edible. l expect to have Thorn in
abundance next winter on sale the same as
quail, ducks and snipe, and they Will yet
find place on every well-regulated bill OF
fare"
81 OBSERVE" said minister of the gospel
TO HERALD reporter, . a tendancy on the
part Of the daily press to ennoble the trade
OF fallen women and so lead other girls
astray. This tendency was impressed upon
me this morning by reading OF young
woman who was looked for some little time
ago by her friends and the police is a young
LADY, handsome and accomplished, etc. L
believe it is dangerous to the community
to admit this statement, and L deplore the
tendency of newspaper reporters TO parade
this fact before the public"
There may be women of culture and &C
complshments who have sunk to depths OF
degradation, out such cases are less than
one in q thousand. Years of experience IN
police courts and slums, in the capacity OF
newspaper attache, have convinced the
reporter that all this stuff about hand
some and cultured women,n who have
fallen, is silly and dangerous gush. The
women who infest infamous houses can
hardly be said to have fallen at all. They
have arrived at their places simply by fol-
lowing the level of natural, low, ignorant
and vicious instincts.
"Have you ever noticed" said fashion
able shopper, as she encountered the re-
porter on the street, "what obligiEg and
lady like girls we have in our Salt Lake
shops? 1t is really a treat to have them
wait upon US, and its in marked contrast
with our eastern cities where such cool in
difference so frequently annoys the hur-
ried and harrassed shopper. Great tact,
good humor and eraciousness Of manner
are requisite to their success. Nothing Is
so annoying as to be forced to buy what
does not suit US. We so off yowlng the
