Soap cost IS such a small cost
that you can't afford to injure

Economic yalu. of Bird..

The economic value of birds is un- told. This fact might be placed be- yond dispute if it were possible to prepare two tables-one showing how many wireworms it would take to destroy a mile of turnips, how many grubs to rsvage the wheat harvests of a dozen farms. how many insects to strip the leafy blades of a forest bare, how many to spoil the fruits of wide orchards, the other recording the fact that these very numbers of insects are eaten by a few humble birds in the course of the year. That the result would be conclusive evidence of the birds value may be safely foretold by 8 glance at 8 few facts which have already been brought to bear upon the question.
 In the spring, when there are clam Orous young birds in the nest, the house sparrow returns every three or four minutes, each time bearing spells in the shape of insect food. Calculated at its lowest possible val ue-that is, allowing only one insect to each journey-this thankless task represents tens of thousands of cap tured insects as the work of one pair ot birds in one month. Swift fiers like the swallow that hawk for food in the air may rank higher. They slsy hundreds of thousands. Fort nightly Review.

May Be True Of . Boston Woman.

A south end woman who was due at home at a certain hour, but couldn't possibly get there because she became stalled in an electric car blockade on Fremont street, waited and waited until patience ceased to be a virtue or even half way com mendable. She arose and stslked from the car with kindling eye and swelling heart, said by poets to be evidences of anger, but paused at the platform long enough to offer the conductor a nickel. Why, madam, said the conductor. you have already paid your fare"
 "I know it, '" said tho south end woman, but I've been here so long l thought owed you rent. Boston Traveller.
