ro ExTERM1NATE sPARRows.

One of the slickest men ever saw
os voung fellow out west who was
selling baking powder and was up TO
all lodges to advertise MS goods ne
b,nrered TO strike one little town IN
which English sparrows were a great
nuisance and the authorities had OF
fered a bounty on sparrow heads. The
baking powder man saw golfen op-
portunity to give his goods a big repu-
tation and offered to eXtermlnate all
of the snarrows in town inside of two
weeks. His proposition was gladly dc-
cented. so he began his work. He Sc
Iected a large vacant lot as the scene
of his operations, and every evening
would go out there with several BUSH
els of corn, which he fed to the spar
rows until they began to get &C
ouainted with him and came TO the
lot in bigger droves every Gay
In the meantime he mad sent east
and bought a barrel Of empty cap
sules, which he filled with the baking
powder, and then put salt on the out
side of them. When he saw that all
of the sparrows in town were coming
10 the feed ground he had large tank
of water placed there and was ready
for the grand climax. On this eventtul
evening he took his sailed capsules OF
baking powder to the lot instead OF
corn and threw them out to the UNI
suspecting sparrows. OF course the
salt made the birds thirsty, and they
Immediately flew to the water tank
and drank. and the result was some
thing awful. The water melted the
cs.psules and made the baking powder
rise The poor little birds tried to stay
on the ground, burt the baking powder
was too strong and compelled them to
rise straight up into the air and final

George Prince, an old resident Of
Sandy. was found at about $50 o'clock
yesterday morning laying in the
snow. frozen stiff within three feet of
the door of his cabin John O'Brien, a
neighbor. and the night Waterman
carried him into the house and put
him to bed and tried to thaw him out,
but it was too late. life being almost
extinct before he was discovered. He
and died at 8 o'clock, without saying
a word
He had been out till or o'clock
in the morning celebrating Christina s
with a number of companions. He
started to go home alone and is sup
posed to have slipped down an en-
bankment close to his house. The
tracks in the snow indicated that he
had climbed UP the bank again and
gained his own door, but it is sup
posed he was so numb and exhausted
that he could not undo the fastening,
and sank down close by the door.
There was a little clot of blood on the
snow and blood stains on the door,
which it is supposed came from his
nose. which he apparently hurt in
his fall down the embankment.
Prince was an Englishmen, about so
years of age, a carpenter by trade.
He lived alone, his wife having died
eight or ten years ago. He had two
sons and a daughter. He was a good
hearted. honest man and the neigh borS
say "the only enemy he had was him
self" Justice Wilson will probably
hold an inquest on the body today.

GROWING BRIGHTER.
Bim etallism VIII Surely Win in the

Long r un.
The whole tendency IN the discovery
and increased output of the precious
the time silver was so generally de-
monetiZed its production seemed to be
almost illimitable, while the gold
mines were showing signs of contrac-
ton. Great deposits were known TO
exist. which defied the science and
skill of mining enterprises. But now
all has changed. There is no silver
bonanza. but gold mines have come TO
the front by the side of which relays
of bonanzas would seem cheap and
poor The money kings are being
beaten at their own game by their
own metal.
The director of the United States
mint, Mr.. Preston, has a good deal to
say in his annual report about the
flood Of gold" Such a food might
sweep away barriers interposed for
the benefit of money loaners, but there
is no danger that there will be TOO
much of either money metal The dis
covery of America was an fncalcula-
BILE blessing to Europe, almost from
the first, because it increased SO enor-
mously the stock of money in the old
world. Even Director Preston, who
could never see the disastrous effect
of lessening the stock of money by
throwing out silver, says, in connec-
ton with this new flood" that when
there is an abundance Of money IN
circulation prosperity prevails Pre-
cisely so. He does not say, be 1t OBJ
served, an abundance Of one particular
metal. but of money. The world $
money is about half silver and half
gold. The attempt, now partly &C
complished, to throw out one-half OF
the money of the world could not fail.
MIR. Preston himself being judge, 10
cause hard times. The most bigoted
goldite can see the logic of contrac-
ton and expansion, except when MS
net theory of finance is at stake.
According to Mr. Preston, the out
nut of gold for the year 1894 was about
! $50 900, 900. OF this the United sta tes
PRODUCED about $39, 900, 900, the British
empire. or Outer Britain, as the pro-
virces and colonies might be called,
$50 AS. 600. almost half Of the entire
oIItnut If the reports from Sol1th
| Africa are true, approximately, the
| British output will soon exceed that OF
all the rest Of the world. Does any

Of Mohammed's cruelty and treach-
cry one example will suffice out of
many, all based on unimpeachable evil
dence, says the Quarterly Review. The
Jews in Medina stirred up his t1ercest
vindictiveness by the exposure OF his
impudent appeals to forged quotations
from their scriptures in proof Of his
mission Some of them, including two
women, even dared to satirize his pre-
tensions in clever pasqulnades. nor
these affronts Mohammed. when he
triumphed, determined to take a sig
nal revenge.
Marching stealthily on the Jewish
qua rter, he surrounded the Jews, who
offered to submit on condition OF being
allowed to leave Medina forever. But
he insisted on surrender ct discretion
and was able to enforce his terms. He
sentenced all the men to death and
the women and children to slavery.
Some of his own people pleaded for
mercy, but he was relentless. His SEN
tence, he declared, was the Judgment
Of the highest heaven and therefore ir-
revokable. The prophet himself per-
sonally directed the digging Of the
trenches which were to receive the
bodies of the slain. That finished, the
tragedy began.
The Jews, with their hands tied be-
hind their backs, were led up in parties
of five or six to the fatal trenches,
forced to kneel down and were then
beheaded and their bodies flung into
the pits prepared for them. The
butchery went on throughout the day
and was continued for some time after
sunset under the glare of torches, Mo-
manned standing by to enjoy the spec
tacle. Eight hundred adult Jews per-
ished, while 1000 women and children
were reduced to slavery. Two hundred
aof these were given to the prophet by
divine "revelaron' and he sold them
into slavery with the exception of one
beautiful Jewess, by name Rihana,
whom he retained as a concubine,
threats and the offer of being made
one of his wives having failed to make
her forsake the religion Of her fathers
