"sNoWY," THE SPARROW.
An Interesting Little Denizen OF Central
Park With n History.

An Interesting Little Dcnizen OF Central
Park With a History.
SNOWY" the sparrow, winter resi-
dent of the Central park menagerie, is
q bird little noticed by the public, but
has, nevertheless, quite an interesting
history.
Two winters ago. one morning when
the snow was thick on the ground,
Philip Holmes, the keeper who has
charge OF the deer, antelope, buffalos,
camels and zebras, was cleaning up be-
hind the shed given up to the American
bison, when he espied nearly white
sparrow lying on the snow under q
small bush on the bank near him. He
took up the bird, and finding it still had
a little life left in it, took it down to
the antelope house, and wrapping it in
some flannel placed it near the stove.
The bird soon began to recover and
Holmes fed it some soaked meat. BY
the evening it was quite clipper and
went to roost on one of the beams OF
the house. All the winter it made its
home here, taking its quota of food
from that supplied to the animals,
and became quite tame When spring
came round Snowy" would forage
for food out of doors, but always
came back before the house was
closed for the night and roasted on the
old beam. One day Snowy" disappear
ed, and "Phil" thought that his small
feathered pet had probably been killed
by somebody who wanted an albino
sparrow in his pathological collection.
This, fortunately however was not
the case, for at the latter end Of the fall
Snowy" came back with u piebald
family, which were introduced into and
housed in the antelope house for the
winter Last summer Snowy" went
away again, ard only returned few
days ago with second family, who
will find warm home for the winter
among the nyhghous, axis and other
deer. Snowy" like the rest of its clan,
is a quarrclsome and wariike bird, and
will allow none but itSown immediate
family-last years brood have been
repudiated-to find a refuge from the
winters cold in the snug warmth of the
antelope-house, where also there is
never lack of plenty to eat-N. Y.

THE CHILDREN.

while They Arc Young Is tho Time TO
Think OF Keeping Them Home.
Philanthropists and teachers and NOR
alists of all sorts never seem tired OF
asking the question: "What shall we
do with the children?" but all the same
they do not seem to have worked out
a very satisfactory solution to the prob
lem. 1t is a matter of doubt II any
means can be adopted which will secure
this end, until parents become little
more considerable of the feelings and
wishes of their children. Youngsters
must be amused, and if they can not
find amusement at home they are abso-
lutely certain to seek it elsewhere.
Parents should therefore provide
every means within their power to In
terest the young, and should not only
do this, but should make it a point to
furnish them a place where they may
enjoy their possessions to their hearts
content In building or fitting up
house, it would add but little to the
cost to set apart room or even build
one, where all of the toys, games and
rigging in which children delight could
be safely housed and in nobody's way.
This is much better than continual
growing because Tommie's bicycle has
to be kept in the hall and Jennie's
hoops and croquet set are under the
table.
When children want to play, it is nc
trifing task for them to go upstairs or
down cellar or into some out of the way
cupboard or closet, move quantity OF
other things, and little by little hunt
out their amusements: then have to
crowd somebody out of place, in order
to arrange them, either in the kitchen,
dining or sitting room; then be subject
to constant interruption in case anyone
comes in.
1t is easy to make the plea that a
room for such things would cost too
much; but when one comes to consider
how much the child is worth and how
much it costs, later in life, to get him
out of the evil ways in which home neg
lect has driven him, the balance is not
very difficult to strike.
The markets are full of toys, games,
amusements and pleasures, and while
they cost something in the way of cash
outlay, their value is in many instances
above all computation; and the few dol
lars expended in providing wholesome
pleasures will draw more than COM
pound interest when the boy arrives
ut mans estate with quiet, intelligent,
studious habits and reasonably good
morals. These he rarely acquires on
the street or in the saloon. to which in
many cases he is driven by the lack OF
entertainment under his own roof.-N.

IN INDIA,

When the full programme of India
with regard to the coinage of silver is
made known, we believe it will be found
that there have been needless apprehen-
sion and alarm among American pro-
ducers. The recent action of that gov
eminent in ceasing to coin silver for pri-
vate individuals still leaves the mints
open to coinage on government account
and India to-day is issuing more silver
coin under conditions similar to those
that existed under our Bland law. In
all probability India will continue to
purchase and coin, as heretofore, about
100000 ounces of silver per year.
President st. John, OF the Mercantile
National bank, New York, one of the
truest and ablest friends of silver in the
country, who has given the finances of
India careful study, declares it to be
impossible for that country to go TO a
gold standard. He says: II deem it
quite certain that India has not adopted
gold as the sole legal tender, nor will
she do so, for the effect would be to de-
nude the commercial world of gold. II
midas trade settlements were to be in
gold instead of silver India would alb
serb a sum of gold each year greater
than the amount available from the
worlds mines for use as money. Az
Stunning that 1ndia'ss mints are closed
to silver coinage on private count
merely, but will continue open for coin
age on government account, India's
average absorption of silver hereafter
will be as great if not greater than the
yearly average in recent years. The
proposed fixed rate Of exchange will
make India's trade more regular and
thereby enlarge its volume and thus
increase her import of silver with which
the council in London covers it's over
issue of council bills, which merchants
purchase to remit in settlements. The
recent action of India may thus actually
enlarge the ability of the United States
to maintain bi-metallism if we reopen
our minis to equally unlimited coinage
for gold and silver.
"The late statesman and %financier,
Laveleve OF Belgium, and Sir David
Barbour, British secretary to India, are
authority for the conviction that among
all nations the United States is practi-
cally alone in its position Of independ-
ence of all others as to what should

Civil service r>formers point to OF

CIVIL service r>formers point to our
regular army as q model of what our
civil service should be as to tenure of
office. Men should hold civil offices
under the federal government, they say,
for life. Progressive military men, how
ever, are not in love with the life tenure
soldier and congress-, at it's last session,
enacted a law which prohibits the re-en-
listment of any man who has served ten
years. or of any man over 35 years of
age. The only exception is in the case
OF veterans who have already served
twenty years. The idea is TO get young
men in the army and to restore them,
while still in their prime, to civil life so
that in time of wal the country may
have the benefit Of as large a body Of
trained citizen soldiers as possible. The
same policy should govern appointments
to our civil service. Young men should
be selected for this service and they
should have four years. tenure, and no
more.

lation is growing nearly 100000 a year,
scattered over a territory nearly seventy
times the area OF France. A growing
volume Of money 10 therefore q neces.
sity. The gold available to tho United
States cannot supply this need for the
present at least il ever, until NO are
certain to be invariably thu creditor In
our foreign trade. Cur actual sxperi-
ence has been that the supply Of gold
available will dimtnish, not increase, il
we discard silver. So highly reputed q
monometallist AZ DR.. Citizen admits
that only 25 per cent OF the gold pro-
duced each year becomes available for
the entire worlds money, therefore,
unless they are to clip the wings Of our
prosperity and cripple the prodigious
growth, the adoption Of gold'as our only
money must at all hazards DO avoided"
These are not the views of a silver
miner but the honest words Of a New
York banker, and he-is right. Let the
United States stand like a rock for BIZ
metallism and it will force England to
abandon her untenable single standard.
The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1893-07-10

THERE should be no gold standard
countries; no silver standard countries.
All the countries of the world should
use gold and silver side by side, in fair
ration, as money. All would do it if the
United States, the greatest financial and
political power on earth, would lead the
way. Leon Say describes the policy of
France as "waiting bimetallism." That
is true of other countries in the Latin
union. They will join the United States
and unfurl the bimetallic standard
whenever we say the word.

OUR RESOURCES

We are glad to note n a the press OF
Montana, almost without exception, re-
fuses to take stock in the doleful wall Of
q few pesslmists that the depression in
the price Of silver will seriously check
the growth Of the state. The Great
Falls Leader sensibly remarks that,
while the development OF silver mines
has added greatly to the wealth of the
state and the miners are entitled to all
praise for what they have done, yet it is
not the part Of wisdom to assume that
the state derives it's wealth from a single
industry. Says the Lender: III the
amount Of money expended in develop
ing the mines OF Neihart, Barker and
the Belt mountains had been used with
q view to utilizing the available water
supply OF Cascade and Choteau counties
for agricultural purposes, we believe
that nearly every dollar Of the amount
now sent east for the products Of the
farm would be kept at home. This is a
country of mountains and mountain
streams. Many acres can be made fer
tile. 1t was intended so to be. The
objector will say that the farmer needs
the mining camp market, and generally
speaking, this is true. But we believe
the prediction will verify itself that
Montana is to be the greatest mineral
producing state in the union for a long
time to come. Thirty-fve years ago it
was said that California would go to
pieces with a waning Of it's mining inter
ests. To-day it is perhaps making the
most wonderful and varied exhibit of
any state at the Worlds fair. Fifteen
years ago men we're saying that Colo
RADIO would never accomplish much in
the line Of agriculture. Now the value
of farm products in that state is some
thing like $%50,o0o,000 or S6O,0OO,0OO a
year." True, every word of it. If no
gold, silver or copper were mined in
Montana it would still be a fine agricul-
tural state. When our great valleys,
upon which water can easily be brought,
are all under irrigation We shall have as
much arabic land as the state of Hi
nois; land on which more can be
grown to the acre and under conditions
that will make drought and crop failure
impossible.
The mines are all right. They will
for centuries to come be our great
wealth producers. Temporary depres-
sion counts for nothing in the long run.
But let US give more heed to our other
and not fall into the error of
shallow observers by assuming that
without silver we are nothing.
