A Canned Goods Lottery.

Mrs RoweH saw the advertisement in
the paper one day of wonderful sale,
says the Chicago Record. 1t was fire
sale of canned goods. Everything that a
housekeeper could desire was enumerated
in the advertisement. There were corn
and potatoes, peaches and pears, goose
berries and plums, in fact, everything that
is usually preserved in tin. The fascina-
ton in these goods lay in two things
the labels had been washed off the cans
during the fire, arouslng her sentiment by
the mystery of their contents, and they
were four cents a can, appealing to her
instincts of economy.
Mrs. RoweH got up bright and early the
day of the sale, and was only Nth in
line when the store opened. and there
were hundreds behind her When the wo-
men got in the stock was soon exhausted,
but Mrs. Rowell managed to get three or
four dozen cans, and was triumphantly
happy.
While preparing dinner one day she
thought of her canned goods, and wonder
ed what vegetables she would cook. She
decided upon corn and picked out and OPP
ened can. 1t contained peas. 1t was all
right, however, for Mr.. RoweH liked peas.
Then she picked out a can of peaches for
dessert-theSe proved to be tomatoes. So
she had peas and tomatoes, but no
peaches.
When they had any one else to dinner
one can of vegetables was not enough
and when Mrs, Rowell looked for another
can of corn she often drew" one con-
tanning beans. But this didn't matter,
for then she had succotash. 1t was rather
annoying, when she had dessert already
prepared to pick out a can of pears when
she fished for tomatoes.
1t was blind luck, this picking the veg
etables from the fruit, for often when she
wanted peaches she got tomatoes or some
thing else far away from her desires
And. after all, 1t was great fun while the
Accent goods lasted, for there was as much
uncertainty about 1t, almost, as in any
other game of chance.

Projection for the birds.

We do not think 1t will be denied that
it is desirable in the greatest degree to
have the parks and the woods well stocked
with BIRDS birds of song and birds of
beautiful plumage. as well as game birds.
The last mentioned class of the feathered
tribe have received some protection in
revealed by a cursory examination of the
Georgia statutes. the songsters have been
left to shift. for themselves. No protec-
ton whatever has been given them by
statute. The reason may be found in the
fact that the game bird makes the not
boil; he is a utilitarian, so to speak.
while on the other hand the song bird
is an artist, and in the case of the mock
ipgbird a most exquisite and Incompatible
artist. Hence. for his meat producing ca
pacity the game bird has the friendship
of the lawmakers, while the poor mock
ingbird, who can do nothing but sing the
most ravishing of songs, and who could
not furnish from his whole carcass grease
enough to 1ubricate the point of a GIN

Playing for a stake.

A story admirably Illustrating the

two played carefully, the advantage never

more than 5000 birds were given their
liberty in Ohio through the operations

Football as 1t is PLAYED.

1t doesn't appear that the game of foot
ball is the least bit less dangerous and
brutal than it was last year There were
promises at the conclusion of the last
season that the playing rules would lie
revised so as to eliminate some of the
dangerous features of the game. But the
new season has opened with no improve
ment of the rules worth speaking of. our
dispatches of yesterday told of two fatali-
ties on the foot ball field in one day. both
the result of the following of the rules
which permit of violence of almost any
degree that may be necessary to the win
ming Of the game. The admirers and
players of the game have been repeatedly
warned that something would have to be
done to reform it, or it would be in dan
ser Of receiving legislative attention
The warnings have been disregarded, so
far. The public sentiment that has crush
ed out prize lighting for its brutality can
, not be expected to tolerate foot ball as
long as it is even more dangerous to life
and limb than prize fighting. and is prob
ably no less brutalizing. The rushes. fly
ing wedges. and other bad features. are
certainly the reverse of refining. They
tend to stimulate an utter disregard Of
consideration for what the consequences
may be to others. Broken limbs do not
stop the games The crippled or fatally
injured player is dragged from the field.
his place is taken by a substitute, and
the game goes on. 1t is time to call a
halt.
