SPARROWS ON A SPREE.
An Ingenious Planter Saved His Cotton
by Getting the Birds Dead Drunk.

An Ingenious Planter Saved His Cotton
by Getting the Birds Dead Drunk.
The English sparrows have proved a
nuisance in the cotton country, for as
soon as the pods open they pick out
the cotton and carry it off, and some
planters have lost, as they claim, hun
dreds of pounds in this way. There is
one man, however. on the Mississippi
that has not lost much, says the st.
Louis Chronicle. When he found the
sparrows were committing depreda-
tions he procured quantity of wheat,
soaked it in sweetened whisky, and
strewed it along the rows. The spar
rows found it and thought they had a
picnic.
So they had, but in fifteen or twenty
minutes were the tipsiest lot Of English
sparrows ever seen on the face of this
earth. They rolled about on the
ground, falling on their backs and sides
and kicking their heels into the air
like a parcel of drunkards, all tho
while uttering the most comical
squeaks. They did not have long to
squeak, however, for the boys gath.
cred them up and threw them into
bags The first day they gathered two
bushels of drunken sparrows. Three
or four days later the experiment was
repeated with almost equal success,
and from time to time since. They
made excellent potpie, but the surviv-
ors have evidently come to regard the
plantation as hoodooed, for now very
few come about it.

Convertible Steamships.

Convertible steamships are the new
est designs in shipbuilding. They are
built to carry general or liquid cargoes
on very short notice. The first vessel
of that type, the new British steam
ship Mexican Prince, arrived here a
few days ago from the Tyne. She was
built at Wallsend, England, for James
Knott, and had every req uirement for
loading and discharging anything that
might have to be sent across the sea.
Steam fans to drive out gases that al
ways accumulate on this type of YES
sells were part of the ships equipment.
Winches and high-power pumps were
also on board to suit the varying de-
mands of commerce.

WHAT TO WEAR IN GLOVES.
The Seasons Novelties for Indoor and Out
Duly Set Forth.

Let the white and yellow chamois
gloves be washed and laid away.
Their day is entirely past. With the
tweed or cheviot or hopsacking dress
that is to replace the well-worn sum-
mer serge heavy, dark red dogskin
gloves will be worn. They are sewed
with black and have broad bands of
black stitching on the back. Across
the top they are neatly bound with
black kid. The buttons, which vary in
size from quarter to five-eighths of
an inch in diameter. e'of black bone
dark red bone, or white pearl. Very
masculine ones have only two buttons,
but the four-button length. which
leaves no gap between the cuff and the
glove, are more popular.
Now that the horseback season is
here the gauntlet glove is more promi-
nent than it has been. 1t comes in all
the colors that riding habits can be
made in, and in all the colors that will
contrast with those. Dark green
dark blue, black, brown. tan and
red are all common. The lower
part is strongly made with stitched
seams and backs, stitched or braided
in three rows. The cuff part is
sometimes covered with braiding or
stitching, or even with steel and bronze
bead embroidery, but the best looking
gloves have plain cuffs bound a bout the
top with a narrow band of black kid
In gloves for call and theater going
there is little change Iudressed kid
with hand sewed seams, small buttons
and inconspicuous stitching on the
back, seem to be the most popular.
There are more glace kid gloves, per-
haps than there were last season, and
these are smooth and tight at the
wrist These are worn with frocks
which they match exactly, but for use
with everything" the suede glove
holds its own Mode and fawn color
are rather usurping the place of tan
and gray.
In evening gloves ell sorts of novel
ties are shown and they are almost in
variably things to be Stunned Painted
and embroidered tops, or tops with
Van Dykes of lace let in, are not in
good taste though they are expensive.
When the evening gloves can be made
to match the frock exactly in color,
pair of long ones, simply stitched on
the back in the same color and fitting
perfectly. are invaria bly, TO be chosen.
When this cannot be done the plain
white suede cannot be improved upon.

The origin of the cockade and the

The origin of the cockade and the
right of wearing it are alike in an
tiGuity 1t has been held by some that
the coclzade came into existence during
the wars of the roses, when the views
of the wearers were published by the
color displayed, while others derive its
discovery from the struggles of the
Scottish Covenanters or the advent of
the Hanoverian succession Be its
origin what it may, il is curious to note
that, while the custom has become pref
ty general, it has never attained any
official sanction. The college of arms
has never recognized the cockade.
either by issuing permits for its use or
by forbidding its display. The subject
received good deal of attention in a
contemporary some years ago, and the
weight of evidence went to prove that
the cockade originated at the Hano-
verian succession, the black cockade
being the badge worn by the followers
OF the new house. while the Stuarts
wore white. This custom is referred
to by Sir Walter Scott in ''Waverly."
One of the most wonderful time
keepers known to the horolorist was
