That Terrible Sparrow.

Perhaps the strongest argument
against the sparrow is that he drives
away the song birds. In certain cases,
that is possibly true. When the COM
ing of song birds is encouraged by
tho building of boxes for them to nest
in, the sparrow is quite prone to oust
the song birds and take possession Of
the boxes. If he finds tree to ho
particularly convenient, he takes pos
session Of that, and so it is unfortun-
ately true that some Of our native
songsters are rarer than they used to
be.
Unfortunately, however, the spar
row is the least of tho enemies of our
song birds. The bobolink has'beoome
rare in New England, but it is the
moving machine and the early cut.

driven him away, and elsewhere it 1s

of our song birds, much more than to
the sparrow.
In Europe song birds and sparrows
thrive together, and for one song bird
that is native to the United States,
there are at least ten or twenty that
are abundant in Europe. In the

and they ought to beprotected against

Europe the laris, the fnches, the
nightingales, find no difficulty in liY'

An American Flag Over Lafayette.

"While in Paris short time ago."
said traveller recently, "it occurred
to me that it was fitting act to make
a pilgrimage to the tomb OF that illus
trious Frenchnan, dear to the hearts
of American patriots, Marquis de La
fayette. ! asked number Of people
before I could find anyone to en-
tighten met as to the spot, but after
repeated inquiry ascertained the loca.
ton. The grave is situated IN old
Paris, within the grounds OF convent
that the ancestors of Lafayette found
ed. and where repose the remains OF
many of the French nobility. The
first thing that attracted my atten-
tion with the hero's tomb was that
above it was foated a silken flag bear
ing the stars and stripes.
ut seems that q good many years
ago an American gentleman LETT IN his
will sum of money to be used for the
special purpose of keeping an Amerl-
can flag forever flying over the grave
of Lafayette. It has done so without
intermission from the day the will
went into effect, and whenever,
through the wear of the elements,
one flag becomes unserviceaole, new
one straightway takes its place.
Through untold centuries the en-
blem OF the country which IN its early
struggles for liberty had his ben
efcent aid, willwave above his ashes. "

Fine qualities of tea and coffee are
being grown at present in Hawaii, and
it is thought by experts that the
islands will soon become an important
source of supply. Both tea and cof-
fee grow luxuriantly aud both are
being prepared for market by machln-
ery instead of by hand. The tea is
picked by machine and rolled and
packed without being touched by
hand. It is believed that the use OF
efficient machinery will compensate
for the low wages paid in China and
