Having escaped without harm from
the guns of the Spaniards, the climate

"All right" said the commissary, as
he made swift computation. "It will
take at least 5000 pies"
This was little staggering. but Mr.
King said he would not withdraw his
offer, and at once set lis bakers to
work Oh the pies. BY extra work 25oC
pies were finished and were sent o the
Brooklyn navy yard, to be distributed

COVERED WITH SWALLOWS.
IsIands Where the Bird Murderer
Finds q Great Abundance
Of Prey.

It is obvious that birds of any kind,
while excessively prosecuted, may, like
the canvasback duck, escape exteTmin,~
ton for long time. though greatly re-
duced in numbers. But, if the hunted
species has the habit of breeding in
fiocks at given places, year after year.
and it is attacked Systematically on its
nesting grounds, it must soon succumb.
For, under such circumstances, the
progeny, as we'll as the parents, are de-
stroyed. and the hope Of future genera
tions disappears.
But it is popularity of the "ingeni-
Gus animal called man" that, while so
provident in respect to many minor
things, he seems rarely to think of the
future of the wild animals which are
furnished for his use, and practically
intrusted to his care, by Nature. He be-
gins with the notion that it is his right
to destroy them If he chooses. and he
does not realize how greatly he will
be the sufferer if he acts too recklessly
on that idea.
Now, take. for example, the terms, or
Scd SWdllO"S, anu CcEld1H 0l4S
which are closely related to them.
These birds furnish some of the most
attractive plumes that adorn feminine
hats and bonnets. Their prettily point
ed wings of pearl color and jetty black
are strikingly ornamental, and have 8
peculiarly delicate frosting on the sur
face at the breeding season. Alas! it is
at this season that they are chiefly
sought and killed, when they gather
by thousands and hundreds of thou
sands on certain small sea islands, and
on suitable patches of seacoast.
Unfortunately for them, while mat
ing and laying their eggs, they seem
to be insensible to fear. Thus the bird
murderer has only to appear on their
nesting grounds and massacre them
Wholesale. In this way many colonies
have been destroyed utterly and per-
manently, and millions of their wings

UNDERSELL GOVERNMENT.
New York Dealers I'm Second-Ef :.
Postal Cards Compete with
the Post Office.

There are half dozen men in New
York who underscll the United States
government in respect to postal cards.
These men sell 4,C00,0C0 or 5,G00,G00 one
cent postal cards annually at on av-
erage price of ninc-tenths of cent
apiece, one-tenth of cent less than
the official price, Notwithstanding that
the cards cost them nearly half cent
at least two-sevenths of a cent, and only
cost the government "a cents a thou
sand.
The competitors of the government
are men who buy cards upon which an
address or advertising matter has been
printed, and erase or obiiterate the
printing without illegally changing the
card.
They purchase the printed cards in
small and large quantities from al
sources. When two firms consolidate
the postal cards addressed and printcr
belonging to each firm are useless. A

DAFFODIL LAND.

A letter written by New York artist
who is painting there gives an enthusi-
astic description of the Scilly islands,
which have, so far. been comparatively
unknown to American tourists. Even
the English have been slow in realizing
the charm of the islands so near their
own shores but it seems that this
spring many artists have gone to "daf-
fodil land" and the winter exhibitions
will probably be flooded with pictures
of the islands. Daffodils have always
grown in great profusion in the Scilly
islands. February and March are the

The Cooling Moth.

The Latin name of this insect is
carpocapsa pomonella. We are sure
that all our readers are interested in
this insect, as it is OF all others the
most persistent in injuring our apples.
The illustration on this page shows the
moth and worm about life size, the
only figure that is enlarged is that one
marked H." which is the head OF the
larya. At "a" we see the apple bur-
row; at "b'' the place where the worm
entered the apple; at ID" the chrysalis
or pupa; at "e" the larva or worm;
at #" the moth with wings closed;
at "g' the moth with wings spread;
at III head end of larva; at 'f' the
cocoon in which the larva changes to
chrysalis. The worm is SO well
known to every apple-eater that we
need not describe him, more than to
say that he is fiesh-colored.
