end schools OF Boston, might proftably
be adopted by other cities which are
obliged to face the fact that within
their borders are thousands OF foreign
children who know nothing of the Gus
toms, institutions or language OF this
country; a writer in the Boston Trans
cript thus describes the method:
The children, within few days after
their arrival, are sent to the public
schools, as a rule without compulsion.
and here they arc Hrst OF all taught
the English language. It is done by
system Of object lessons. The teachers
in the elementary rooms are young
women, as men would not be patient
enough stc~1ccuznpfi the best results.
The teacher may point to her eNe and
say: This Is my eye" ," repeating it sew

repeat It in unison. other PORTIONS Of

THE SPARROW.
His Number Kept Down In LoodsA By
the Use OF Cats.

His Number Kept Down In LondsA ~
the Use OF Cats.
If left to himself the London sparrow
would probably multiply exceedingly.
for there. is enough waste fromevery hui
man household to keep at least one
pair of sparrows. That would give
something like 1900, 900 sparrows to the
area of greater London. But these
figures 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 abounds, the birds
seem to breed at all seasons of the year,
but the operations of the natural en-
envy, that great fact in all wild life.
which even the progressive London
sparrow cannot avoid. The natural en-
emv in this case is the London cat. It
anyone will count up the number of
houses in his or her knowledge which
10 not possess cat, the number'cnd
ubiquity of the natural enemy will be-
come apparent. ca
Poor people keep more cats than rich
people, so the small houses abound with
cats. Rich peoples cats, which have
large houses as rule, catch the spar
rows on their own estate ;but poor cats
have to poach at large, and thei~ raw
ages among the young sparrows is pro
ligious. It has been observed that
sparrow-killing cat bags. on the aver
age. two young birds day. Nc
amount of correction seems to prevent
their indulgence in this form of sport,
They know it is wrong, but it is too fas-
cinating. One young eat Of the writer's
acquaintance went into a fit after a
| mild beating for killing young spar-
rows, and as soon as he recovered went
off to catch another. A cat in the same
| house which was surprised with tTo
raked nestlings in its mouth slipped
them underneath mat on the stairs
when it saw it's mistress coming. Ma
ture is too strong for them, and the
drawing-room pussy seems no more
able to resist the taste for sport than
the stable cat.-London Spectator.

Notes From Camp Pat Henry.

Mr.. Charles L. Canada returned on
Thursday from the camp at Jackson,
having gone down with Capt. Gildart
to accompany the second instalment of
the Delta Guards. The following re-
port brought back by him from camp
will be read with great interest;
Camp Pat Henry was Q scene long
to be remem b6red by those who were
present when the boys who left here
yesterday morning reached that place.
Notwithstanding the weather the gal
liant boys were at the train to welcome
the % men that were carried over by
Capt. w. K. Gildart, assisted by Chas.
L, Canada and w. J. wager. The boys
went wild when they saw the Captain
alighs from the train. We marched
through the rain to the camp where
three rousing cheers were given for
Capt. Gildart and his followers, Then
began the individual welcoming. The
BOYS are happy in their new life, and
remarks were heard that they would
not change places with Mckinley.
Everyone is we'll, and send love to the
Greenville girls and their loved ones
