FOOD FOR THE CATS.

English Sparrows Have4to Fight For Their
Lives In London.
If left to himself, the London sparrow
would probably multiply exceedingly,
for there is enough waste from every
human household to keep at least one
pair of sparrows. That would give some-
thing like 100000 sparrows to the
area Of greater London. But these fig
ures do not represent actual facts. The
sparrow population is vigorously kept
down, not by want of fecundity-for at
the zoo, for instance, where food and
shelter abound, the birds seem to breed
at all seasons Of the year-but by the
operation of the natural enemy, that
great fact in all wild life, which even
the progressive London sparrow cannot
avoid. The natural enemy in this case
is the London cat. If any one will count
up the number of houses in his or her
knowledge which do not possess a cat,
the numbers and ubiquity Of the natural
enemy will become apparent. Poor
people keep more cats than rich people,
SO the small houses abound in cats.
4s4Cu 4O1Sh CdUS WulCu utAt0 4iISC
houses, as rule, only catch the spar
rows on their own estate, but poor cats
have to poach at large, and their ravages
among the young sparrows are prodi-
gious. 1t has been observed that spar
row killing cat bags OH all average two
young birds day. No amount of cor
rection seems to prevent their indul-
gence in this form of sport. They know
it is wrong. but it is too fascinating.
One young cat Of the writer's acquaint-
ance went into q fit after mild beating
for killing young sparrows, and as soon
as he recovered went off to catch an
other. A cat in the same house which
was surprised with two naked nestlings
in it's mouth slipped them underneath a
mat on the stairs when it saw it's mis-
tress approaching. Nature is too strong
for them, and tho drawing room pussy
scems no more able to resist the taste
for sport than the stable cat.-London

Spanish Inefilciency.

Spanish ineficiency has been shown
up in ludicrous way by the recent sell
floating Of the new cruiser Princesa dc
Asturias at Cadiz. The vessel, which it
had taken seven years to build, got stuck
in the mud when they tried to launch
her over a month ago. After trying their
best to float her without success for 80
days the Spanish engineers gave up the
job, adopting the usual Micawber policy
Of Spain of waiting for something to
turn up. They were justified by the
cruisers slipping into the water of her
own accord one afternoon when no one
was watching her.
