Adventure OF a sparrow.

Birds have all sorts of adventures,
but a very odd one, certainly, befell a
sparrow that flew into knife factory
at Anderson, Ind. Getting too near a
small wheel, it was sucked in, and the
workmen noticed it, but knowing that
the cylinder was revolving at speed
of 100 minute, took it for granted that
the bird had been killed. When the
factory shut down at noon, the men
were astonished to hear a gentle chirp
from the wheel, and. behold there was
the sparrow. The bird had chung
to the strengthening rod of the
wheel, and was in dazed condition,
but five minutes later few out of the
window. The wheel in which the bird
rode made $1,000 revolutions, and the
little creature travelled "A miles before
being released.

A BORING ALLIGATOR.

Said to Have Made n Hole in q New
Orleans Levee.
The high wind that prevailed did con-
siderable damage to the levees along
the Algiers shore, says the New Or
leans Times-Democrat of late date. The
wind after sunset blew especially hard
against that side of the river. The
waves were blown over the revetment
and in some places did much damage to
the earthwork. The guards were very
active. They reported promptly all
washings, and where the occasion de-
manded it the damage was promptly
repaired.
One of the curiosities of the food in
this section developed at the Morgan
railroad wharf early one morning.
There had been trouble there for some
days with seepage, and force of men
had been employed closing the crew
ices and cracks through which the wa
ter percolated. There was an unusual
quantity at one place one night, and
the foreman of the gang, going over to
the spot the other morning to ascertain
the reason, announced the hole had
been caused by an alligator, which had
burrowed through from under the
wharf. His trail could be plainly seen
in the mud, and the workmen, in speak
ing of it to Sergt. Cologne, command
ing the Algiers station, said that they
judged that he must have been at least
four feet long. They think the wa
ter covered all the resting places that he
might have had under the wharf, and
he decided to bore a hole through the
bank, and thus mix his time between
dry land and water.

Another way to help the birds is to
keep a pan or large tiowerpot saucer
filled with fresh water in some place
where the birds can use it to wash
and drink from. Do not be discouraged
if they do not come in the first week,
for they must first find it, and next, un-
less it is kept full and fresh. they will
not patronize it regularly. Robins, blue
jays, cat birds, chirping sparrows and
blackbirds all enjoy a good bath and
cool drink. and are likely to come to

some string or hemp on the bushes, and

If bird decides to build near you
you can help him by driving away
the rascally English sparrow, which
will try to drive him away. But the
English sparrow, that tramp among
birds, hates the evening bath as much
as the man tramp would. So, when the
sparrow goes to roost at night, or. bet
ter still. when the nest is nearly built,
make campaign against him with the
hose and wash him off his roost or his
nest from its place. and it will soon be-
rim to dawn upon him that he is not

Doesn't amount to much anyway, and

to come and live near you, and they
will pay you for your trouble by the
flowers. bushes and trees they will
save by keeping them clean from in
sects, and they will throw in musicale
for good measure.-A. C. Beebe, in Chi

SIT was unkind to let me hear of your
return by accident. Will you not come

Would he not? And when he went he
eould not keep the love out of his eyes
or his voice, and she-at last! Her eyes
dropped under his gaze, her cheeks
blushed for him, her voice faltered, with
tenderness. He had won his bridel And
he had no secret hidden from her loving
eyes, no treachery he would dread to
have her discover. By the frankness he

her girlhood to the man he had so nobly
befriended.-N. Y. Ledger.

HE SWORE AT THE MULES.

And the Bishop Forthwith Dismissed
the Driver.
A bishops coachman must not swear,
especially when he is on the box and
the bishop inside, says the Pail Mall
Gazette. There is a certain place in
Spain called GPrrales and it is in the
province and diocese of Zamora, and
the bishop of Zamora recently went in
his coach and four (but they were
mules) to hold a confirmation at Cor
rales. When the children of the diocese
we're duly confirmed the mules, being
confirmed already in stubbornDess and
original sin, refused to start and backed
the carriage. with the bishop inside it,
against the churchyard gate, thereby
making a breach in the sanctuary of
the churchyard wall. At this point the
coachman is reported to have uttered
one of those thunderous Spanish curses
in which the language of Spain Is SO
infinitely superior to the language of
France. and which even bishop must
feel has the dignity of power. Unfor-
unately for himself the mayor of Cor
alcs. Sig. Tome, had just taken leave
oi the bishop and was standing by the
!.rriage when the word reached him.
Re sprang forward and fined the coach
man four pesetas on the spot for bias
phcmy and proclamation, for in Spain
he mayor carries the court with him
wherever he goes. The bishop also got
out and dismissed the blasphemer on
the spot; then the mayor got on the
box and himself drove monsiegneur
back to his episcopal residence. The
confirmation has ever since been known
by title which may be freely trans
lated the blue blazes confirmation of

100000 bushels In the Invisible stocks But
on this basis the estimate entitled to credit
would appear 128OO000O bushels too low Tor
the four years, and it Is only fair to point out
that IL Government reports Of acreage were so
far I'm error as to make its estimate OF yield
ca 600 900 bushels too low In 1893 and oS,OOO,-
600 in 1894 and 100000 too low in 1895, 1t Is
hard to understand why 1.-THE Orange Judd
Farmer" estimate should be 100000 lower than
that of the same Government officials for 1S0o.
The object of these suggestions is again TO
urge the vital importance OF cutting loose alto
gether from the deceptive Government estimates
of acreage until they are prepared in different
and much more trustworthy manner. The paper
in question has made independent estimates OF
acreage. which presumably account for much
of its greater correctness as to yield but these
statements also would seem TO have been too
low, unless the indications derived from thrash
Ing returns are much in error. The one thing
which seems to be more needfu than any other
Is to get IN idea Of acreage which fairly CORE
spends with the actual distribution shown from
year TO year. To that end one must first get
rid entirely OF the notion, due to official reports,
that the acreage devoted to wheat dropped from
100000 in 1891 to 3i,OO0.OOO In 1870. de-
crease OF II per cent. Notwithstanding the
rapid increase in population in some or the most
productive wheat growing States. There Is far
more likelihood that official estimates OF acreage
are In error than that the population has been
so impoverished 10 consume materially less
wheat even when the supply Of that grain was
so abundant and the price so low that. accord
Ing to official stories, about 3O,NO,0W bushels
were fed to cattle in the year 1879
The conservatism shown in other years en-
titles 10 more attention the estimate for this
year, which Is again higher than any other OF
note. Starting with 592. 100000 bushels. and re-
duclng this to 570OOO.OOO rs an allowance for
injury TO spring wheat, the paper in question
recently said that the returns of winter wheat
furnishings were so much better than was ex-
pcctcd that they promised to make up In meas
IRE for the loss Of spring wheat IT so, the
yield will be the largest except ono ever report
cd but not the largest except ono ever realized
for It Is fairly dcmonstrable that IJ,OOO.OD bush

unprecedented exports and the consumption IN

than those reported for 1891 and 1892.

EVERY NAN HIS OWN WEATHER PROPHET.

Professor Andrew Jackson De Voc. wood
chopper. weather prophet and philanthropst.
visited The Tribune Office yesterday TO make
few remarks about great scheme or his IN
vention. by which anybody can beat the Gov
eminent every time" In the weather prophecy
business II does not seem right that the Gov
eminent should have a monopoly In this field.
Professor De Voc offered to take charge of the
Department at low rates and on a guarantee of
first-class service. but his proposition was
laughed to scorn by the Washington folks. Now
the Professor intends TO put all OF them out OF
n Job by teaching the masses how TO sit down
and figure out their own weather every day for
a month ahead. In his modest way the great
New-Jcrsey scientist says that II Is dead easy
and is merely a matter OF astronomical calcula-
ton. He is going to open weather forecast
ing school-a seminary he calls Tin Asbury
Park next week for the purpose OF systemau
cally disseminating the knowledge that he has
acquired by hard thinking and liberal ex-
pendlturc OF pencils and paper 1t Is not his
purpose TO conlne himself TO n mere demonstra-
ton Of how TO determine whether It's going to
rain or shine. He viii go further and give to
his pupils the secre, Of ascertain!ng Just what
direction the wind Will come from on given
date in any part Of the United States and after
within the scope OF his !nfalbe observation.
Besides giving close personal attention to his
sawmlll and perfcctlng plans 10 regulate the
weather Professor De Voc has devoted hundreds
OF valuable moments to a consideration Of the
Mississippi floods. The Professor Is certain that
he knows all about them. although he Is gen.
orally in Hackensack about the time that they are
active In distant section Of the country. There
is no confidence violated In saying that the Pro-
fessor has determined the cause Of the floods
and that he has cure for them. All this he will
tell next winter 10 a committee OF Congress,
after he has been introduced to the committee
by Senator's Sewell and Smith and Representa-
tive Stewart. Between the Professor and Con-
gross It should be possible 10 prevent foods,
cyclones and all kinds OF freak weather. and
this may be the outcome OF his visit 10 the Ma
tional Capitol next December
