A FIGHT WITH WILD DUCKS.

Sailors Have q Desperate Battle with
Birds Blown Out to Sea.
Capt. William T. Bernard and the
steam tug Plymouth arrived from Bos-
ton at Philadelphia few days ago with
three barges in tow, after one of the
toughest passages ever made and more
than the elements to contend with dur
ing the trip, having been attacked in
the Vineyard sound, during the terrific
hurricane of February 10, by a
tremendous flock of wild ducks
that had been carried from the land by
the wind. They fought desperately
against the side of the tugs house and
powerful electric light on the mast
head, which was the object that Fl rst
attracted them. Mate Willard went on
deck and was knocked fat by one of
the infuriated birds, which flew directly
at him, striking him on the breast. To
substantiate this strange story told to a
Press reporter Capt. Bernard saved
twelve of the birds that fell exhausted
from their struggles on the decks and
they are now at his home. The Plym-
outh, after passing Chatham just before
sundown on February 10, experienced
heavy rains. Soon the wind veered to
the northwest and blew a hurricane ac-
OOAAt'e1LACO Oy ShOW O4o1AAo.
At nine o'clock at night Capt. Bernard
and Mate Willard were both in the
pilot house, when futtering noise was
heard to windward. With the aid of
marine glasses they could discern a
huge dark formation moving directly
toward them, and soon flock of fully
three hundred ducks made for the YES
sci. They flew directly toward the cleo
trio masthead light and in striking the
pole fell by the dozen to the deck. Some
of the sailors were terrified at first by
the fiuttering noise, but on being con-
vinced what it was went on deck and
caught fully fifty of them and slowed
them away in the fore peak. The birds
were ravenously hungry, having been
carried miles from the land in the teeth
of the heavy gale. They could not fly
back, such was the force of the wind,
and those that failed to light on the
Plymouth We're carried off to sea and
no doubt perished. For fully an hour
the birds kept things in state of ex-
citement on board the tug, and Capt.
Bernard confessed it was one of the
most remarkable experiences he had
ever seen or heard of in upward of
quarter of century of sea life.

INCREASE OF sPARRoWs.

Considerable attention has been given
to the English sparrow question during
the year by the q. S. department of agri-
culture, division of ornithology, and it
is evident that this bird will continue to
be pest in most sections of the-coun-
try unless it's increase is checked by in
telligent action in the different states.
Several states have legislated against it
Intellectually, their failure being due
largely to ignorance of the true habits of
the bird and lack of appreciation of
the magnitude and gravity of the evil.
Michigan and Ohio have wasted many
thousands of dollars in bounties nomin-
ally for heads of English sparrows, but
actually in large part for for the heads
of harmless and beneficial birds. ILL
nois recently enacted a sparrow law
giving bounties for heads during the
winter months, but this also can result
at best in only slight diminution of
the number of sparrows and at a dispro-
portionate expense. The sparrow
sooner or later will force itself on the at
tention of every agricultural state in the
union, and it would be the part of wis
dom for sections not yet badly afflicted
by the scourge to take immediate steps
to secure continued immunity. Bounty
laws are worse than useless; the best
prospect OF relief appears to be through
the organization in each state of spar
row board or commission, which shall
employ trained assistants to destroy nests
and vounO durinO warm vraotbar aod
make use of poison in cold weather, and
in such ways as not to endanger the
lives of our valuable native birds.

Portuguese Isebanadas.

A dish as much eaten by the Portu-
guese as mince pie by Americans, is the
rebanadas. 1t is of Moorish origin,
and is easily and quickly prepared
as beftted the habits of a nomadic
race. Thick slices of bread are soaked
in new milk, fried in olive oil and then
spread with honey and eaten hot. The
result is something delicious, and those
who have once tasted the rebanadas
will want to taste it again.

Empire State Engine No. 999 lately
placed itself in the category of 'sfyers''
by developing unheard-of speed, but its
pace is but a crawl when compared with
the fight of a homing pigeon. Last Sun
day committee from the Buffalo Saen-
genbund went to Cleveland on the
steamer State of Ohio to complete ar
rangements for its part in the July
Saengerfest to be held in that city, and
upon the. arrival of its members there
two carrier pigeons were liberated from
the deck of the steamer. They took a

minutes later, having traversed dis
tance of 1s3 miles, or at the rate of
nearly 21a miles minute.
