Birds in general are the friends OF
man, and it is doubtful whether a single
species can be named which is not more
beneficial than harmful. The great
mass of our smaller birds, numbering
hundreds OF species, are the natural
checks upon the undue multiplication
of insect-pests. Many Of them rarely
make use of other than insect food,
while all, as shown by scientific investi-
cations already made, depend largely
or wholly, during considerable periods
of the year, upon an insect diet. Even
the ill-reputed hawks and owls prey up
on fieldmice, grasshoppers, and other
noxious insects or vermin, some never
molest the farmers poultry, and others
only exceptionally.

Everybody knows what picnic is but
most folks would find it hard to say how
it got that name, and yet it is simple
enough when you come to learn of it.
When the picnic was being arranged
for, the custom originally was that
those who intended to be present should
supply the eatables and drinkables. A
list of those necessities having been
drawn up, it was passed around, and
each person picked out the articles Of
food or drink that he or she was willing
to furnish, and the name OF the article
was nicked or licked off the list. The
open air entertainment thus became
known as ''pick and nick" The custom
is said to have dated from 1902, so that
the picnic is wholly an institution Of
the nineteenth century.

An absent-minded young preacher In
New England, wishing to address the
young ladies of his congregation after
the morning services, remarked from
the pulpit that he would be very glad
If the female brethren of the congrega-

home" He was almost as badly mixed
as another preacher, who, after describ-
ing a pathetic scene he had witnessed,
added huskily: 81 tell you, brothers,

Railroad companies may no longer
carry their business letters over their
own roads without paying postage to
the Government. An order has been
sent out by General Wilson,
insisting upon the enforcement of the
postal laws against railways carrying
their own letters. An exception is
made in favor of letters that have to do
with the business of the train carrying
them. But all letters to the station
agents and officials are forbidden to be
carried without postage and the inspec-
tors are directed to enforce the law.

Touching the question OF general
system of arbitration between the
United States and Great Britain, Lord
Salisbury said there would be difficulty
in dealing with cases so large as to con-
tain issues of vital character. After
much discussion with the United States
upon that point, he thought that the
tendency OF the United States was to
desire the rapid and summary decision
OF question. The British government
thought that the principal of obligatory
arbitration was attended with consider
able hazard. Proper machinery must
DO first provided. In recent years the
United States had evinced disposition
to take up the cause OF many South
American republics, but this govern
ment had not quarreled with that dis
position. Great Britain, he added,
had taken similar interest in disputes
regarding the frontiers of Sweden,
Holland, Belgium and Portugal. In
studying the welfare of neighboring
people 1t is necessary to remember that
the claims Of such people may possibly
become matters Of arbitration, and
hence that it is necessary to guard
against an obligatory system of arbitra-
tion. For these reasons, his lordship
said, he had approached, the question
with considerable caution.

OF all the detestable people on the
face Of the earth the man or woman
who persistently grumbles deserves the
first place. 1t matters not what the
occasion may be, such people never see
the bright side nor allow another to do
so, II he can possibly preventit. They
rise up in the morning and make every
body around them feel as badly as
possible by grumbling until tired nature
gives way and they go to sleep. Such
people are unfit to die, and unworthy to
live. They are worse in their effect
than Kansas cyclone, for they draft
and destroy all that is good with which
they may come in contact. Every
neighborhood has nuisance OF this
kind, and the only use we can see for
such people is to fill hole In the ground.
