power of being "disagreeable," thing
almost unknown among other birds,
which are very accommodating and So
ciable. But they also combine.
Mr.. Hansell, writing from the Cathe-
dral Close at Norwich, gives curious
instance of this. Two sparrows had a
nest in a hole in a tree thirty feet from
his office window. A starting flew
down and looked in The two sparrows
gave a kind of screaming cry, and in a
quarter of minute at least fifty SPAR
rows appeared on the scene. Some
took up their positions by the netting
pair others perched on twigs close by;
all appeared furious with the starting.

great for me to see-but at any rate one
Of the cock birds flew off the headquar-
tiers twig and making straight for the
starling's head, pecked it severely and
drove it away. This done, most of the
hen sparrowS flew off. For my part, I
ran down stairs and, with the help of a
clerk, counted thirty sparrows still re-
manning, who gradually dispersed"
But there is no question of their abili-
ty to take care of themselves and to
supplant other species. We can also
quite believe that where population is
small and agriculture conducted on a
large scale by machinery they might
cause very serious loss. Farms near
towns, especially near London, probably
suffer severely; and it is there that the
strongest means are now taken to kill
them off.-Spectator.

an old merchant vessel tinkered up,
painted over, and palmed off as first

suited in its being cut in half and
heightened at cost of thirty thousand

some who know" But, passing over
direct fraud, our open policy, for which
some excuses may be made, of forcing
trade in the teeth of the sultan's rights,

he is of protection itself. He finds

7 LESSONS OF THE BRITISH NAVAL
MANOEUVRES.

Tho manoeuyres ended without
throwing much light on the objects
aimed at Some information was, per-
hans gained las to the most advanta-
geols methods of employing consider
able body of cruisers in conjunction
with fleet" thanks to Sir Harry Raw
son, but the operations proved nothing
as to the relative advantages and dis
advantages of speed and lighting
strength, nor furnishing any Informal
ton relative to the working OF de-
stroyers and torpedo-boats which had
no chance of doing anything against
battle-ships Every officer in Fleet,
however was convinced that destroyers,
with their great speed, would have
been invaluable aids to search and very
useful in keeping up communications.
The latter, however, could have been
better done by wireless biography, the
advantages of which were conclusively
proved by two of Sir Compton DOM
ville's cruisers, though IN making the
use he did of this new agent he is sus-
pected of having violated the rules, ac-
cording to Sir Harry Rawson's inter-
probation. That matter, however, Will
have to be thrashed out by the umpires.
The most satisfactory lesson learned
during these manoeuvres is that our
modern battleships and cruisers can do
all that has been claimed for them, ex-
cept perhaps in point Of speed. Mons
tiers like the Majestic, Magnificent and
their sisters are steady in all weathers.
They may pitch more than is desirable
when steaming against strong head
wind and heavy sea, but they scarcely
roll at all and for broadside-fire. at
any rate, they afford very stable plat
forns.-The London Daily News.

THE SPARROW AN AVIAN RAT.

Colonel Russell, residing in Essex,
killed off most of the sparrows round
his country house and garden, and en-
courased all other birds. The result
was that most things seemed to do
better there than elsewhere. and many
things much better The young peas
needed no protection from birds, green
peas were not picked out of the pods,
and the gooseberry buds were not
picked out" Still, most people have as
many gooseberries and peas as they
want, even with sparrows in their gar
dens. But apart from direct mischief,
they are thoroughly bad neighbors to
other birds They will bite and bully
anything as large as a rock or

OvER-sUPPLY OF MINISTER'S

OVER-SUPPLY OF MINISTER'S
1t is safe to say that at no time in the
christian church has the supply of eff
Client clergymen been so large as at
present. Not only are nearly all con-
Sregations supplied, but there are many
ministers without charge, not few of
Whom are anxious to obtain settlement.
In case of vacant church the pulpit
committee is at once in receipt of many
applications and recommendations. The
erect is evident. Congregations gain
the impression that in view of the lack
or dlf1culty in securing a pastor, lit
tie less compensation will obtain one
who will be quite satisfactory. One
large city church, with an endowment
has been in the habit of paying $4,000.
That congregation has settled pastor
on $4,000. Another city charge is ex-
pecting to call a minister on $1,000,
which is only one-half of the amount
formerly paid. A strong rural congre-
cation, which Is abundantly able TO pay
$1,000, has decided to give no more than
$7O0. 1t would be possible to greatly
multiply examples of a similar charac-
ter.-Christian Intelligencer.

Liberty and LincolnviIle.

By invitation Arbutus Chapter, 0. E. S.,
of Liberty visited Beach Chapter of Lincoln
Vile Wednesday, June 18th. Many had
planned to be found in line when the time
came, but it was cloudy and foggy in the
morning and an observant eye could see
many long faces scanning the sky, and the
stars rather dropped; but at the time the
old hay-maker gained his meridian height
the stars began to shine out and 26 left for
the shore of old Penobscot bay and on ar
rival were met by Bro. A. F. Hahn and
others, who informed US the town was ours,
and in very short time, it being low tide,
the beach was alive with happy stars look
ing for the best pebble, or best anything to
take home to remember the visit by. When
we returned the beach was minus of good
ox-load of pebbles.
The Patron asked us to look into the cook
room where we beheld a salmon to the
length of 40 in ches which short time later
diminished in length very rapidly. At
E the supper call sounded, and all partook
of one of the best tue land or water affords,
after which we were escorted to the chapter
room, which was beautifully decorated with
flowers and notices for the occasion We
then witnessed the work, which could not
be excelled in the State. The address of
welcome was by W. NJ. Sister Coombs, and
the responce by Eva N. Ripley. The W.
M. then in behalf of Beach Chapter present
ed the Secretary, Sister French, with gold
fountain pen. We we're then treated to
fine program. About - the chapter closed
and we partook of ice cream and cake.
When we began to think of going home
we found it was inky dark and rained, so
we begged permission to stop in the hall
until it was light. "Oh, yes," we were told,
when in marched the fiddlers and organ
grinder, and many toe that had been
asleep for years was shaken out.
When things in general began to take on
more light we were again invited to partake.
of more cream and cake. Then we bade our
brother and sister stars good bye and wend-
ed our way homeward, the brighter and
happier for this visit. Long live Beach.
But, now that we have come to ourselves
and begin to think of when the members of
our sister Chapter will return our visit, we
fear we cannot even hold the candle to
them. Patron.

Six=Masted Schooners.

Frank De Loche of Bath, who is to rig
the new six masted schooner to be built at
Bean S yard in Camden, says:
cit will not cost S5 month more to run
a six sticker than it does five. In either
one the engine does the work in smooth
weather, and in rough weather they both
would reef two sails and furl the rest. OF
course the vessel with six masts would
carry great deal larger cargoes than the
one with five, and as the difference in cost
in operating is so little, there would be
more money for the owners for awhile.
1t was only short time ago that the four
master was considered big one; now five
masters are all the go, and the six sticker
is about to come"
This using one immense craft with six
masts to take the place of a half dozen
small vessels with only two masts apiece
is an evil which Democratic statesmen
should spring up end denounce. 1t is
aimed directly at the inalienable right
Of two masted schooners to carry coal.
If the six master with a captain, mate,
a steam engine to hoist the sails, and a
small crew to steer, is to get the business,
what is to become of all the two masted
schooners? Why, the little schooners will
nave TO De ldlu up, some OF Ine captains
will have to go as mates or foremast-
hands, and some of the poorest foremast-
hands will have to look elsewhere for a
job. Besides, it will spoil competition,
and every body knows that competition is
the life of business. When there were
lots of little two masters to handle the
coasting trade in coal, ice, ETC., it took so
many of them that there was plenty of
competition to keep down the freights.
But now along are to come these gigantic
six masters and destroy all competition
by carrying cargoes for less than the two
masters, thus driving them nearly all out
of the business.
Why cannot the Democratic statesmen,
who are denouncing gigantic monopolies
on shore, pound their gongs at this
grasping monopoly of masts. No one
vessel should be allowed to carry SO many
masts or to spread SO much canvas or
carry so much freight all at once. 1t is a
menace to free institutions. Away with
these -masted vessels and these 500,
600, 600 corporations. Let us have law
that no vessel shall have more than two
masts, or three at the most Biddeford
Journal.
