THE ENGLISH SPARROW.
A Pest on Which Sooner or Later, War
Must Be Declared.

Must Be Declared.
The English sparrow must, sooner OF
later, be the victim of war of exter-
mlnation, and the initiative will, in all
probability, be taken in Boston, where
these winged pests have grown in num-
bers until their ranks are countless.
The Boston Herald says;
The resentment that has so long
been entertained by great many people
AGAINST the English sparrow has at last
been formulated in petition to the
MAYOR of Boston calling tor the total ex-
termination OF the bird as public Dul-
sauce. a general expense and a serious
aesthetic injury. The signers to the pc
ulion include a very large number of
people who may fairly be presumed t.
know what they are talking about when
they say that this bird is VIGOROUSLY
unceaD, betouling our buildings ana
statuary, and at the same time driving
out our native birds, which are far more
agreeable and welcome visitors. Quite
likely the determination of these spar
rows may prove to be a more difficult
task than the petitioners anticipate, but
it is something worth trying, apparent
